Jim,

Here you go. That's great the one you got  has a lifetime warranty. I just
ordered the 5200 model and it came with a 7 year parts & service warranty.
Let me know how you make out.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Vita Mix

2010-03-30 Thread Alan & Terrie Robbins
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.

I believe the Vitimix can be had for about $300 from Costco.
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.

My wife and I have had one for a number of years. They are very friendly as 
last I checked the controls are still switches and a rotating knob. I will tell 
you that this is one serious machine that has the ability to take a solid 
potato and turn it into liquid. In my opinion, they are well worth the money 
and will last a very long time.
