Yes, that exactly is what I am doing now after my blender / faulty construction just broke unfortunately after 2½ years. But vacuum mixing doesn't seem to be that common in general.
I am not quite sure, if I understand correctly, but vacuum blending is not meant to keep stuff but to get much less air / oxidation to the food while mixing. So that is supposed to keep the aromas, more nutrients and there obviously are other benefits.
Yes, it has very good features. The reviews may not be optimal. I could imagine that the engine's power might not be quite enough, just as they should be with a so-called high-performance mixer.
Well, maybe it's me that is misunderstanding, but I was under the impression that by reducing oxidation the blended food would last longer.

Ah, yes, I see, sorry. I wouldn't have even thought of such a perspective in this context. I thought it meant to be about preserving food (there are systems like that) by vacuum sealing it to preserve food for weeks/months by removing air, which obviously works very well.
Yes, if only one could believe these claims.
I could believe it might reduce oxidation. But I cannot believe it will prevent it.
For some people that might sound like a lie (see your great links above). But it at least is misleading, I would think.
sort of a related concept
skepticism? yes!
yes
an exageration?
Fo me not so important. typically I drink my blended drinks within a few minutes. but in the past I might take a smoothie with me to work. when I packed a post workout smoothie I would freeze it the night before.
Yes, the same with me. But it's not primarily about durability, I would say and not only about smoothies, but for many other mxitures as well. The biggest advantages are said to be taste/preservation of aromas, better preservation of nutrients (everything for drinking immediately after mixing), less or none bloating, etc. The shelf life is perhaps a good side effect (I certainly would not need).
