Scott, Thanks for the update. Vita Mix is recommending the 5200 series for household use. It currently sells for $459.00I have seen other models on Amazon & E Bay. I don't think you can get the free in home 30 day trial from the store.

Check around, I did not pay that much for mine, I think it was a little over $300 or $350. Of course I got mine over 10 years ago and it is still just as good as new. Whatever you get, just make sure it meets your needs, that is more important than which brand/model. On Mar 30, 2010, at 8:13 AM, Andrew J.
