Should'a bought that Vita-Mix! - Page 2

The noise wasn't a deterrant to me either. I didn't purchase my VitaMix years ago with a thought to the sound it makes. I purchased it for what it does...and it does it better then any other VitaMix whanna bees on the market.

I would never use it for 5 continuous minutes to heat soup.

Even though that’s a selling point, seems to be a waste of energy.

Just blend until smooth then control the heat on the stove.

Sue it’s going to be loud.

It has a 2HP motor running at 200+mph so yeah...

it’s going be loud but it’s a trade off...it’s not used for a long time.

I have a Vitamix 5200 and absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Loud? So many things are loud... when I grind coffee beans in my burr grinder, that's loud, and I do that every day. Maybe because I commuted most of my life on the NYC subway, I'm not bothered by the noise. The machine is a miracle worker and we use it for a lot of things. I don't run it that long to be disturbed or have it bother anyone. I personally don't find it to be a problem. It has a heavy duty motor which allows it to do everything that it does.

I agree! There are many annoying things that are loud. Since I live in the suburbs what I find particularly annoying & loud are the many industrial noisy lawn movers that seem to be going at once all summer long!!! They are very loud and can go on for a long time.

I love my Vitamix! I only use it a few minutes at a time. It does the job that my old blenders didn't.

Love mine and I could care less how loud it gets on certain settings. It was the best purchase for the kitchen I ever made.

Come on now------of course the VM is loud!!! It has to be to do its job!!! All those high end blenders are loud-------if you notice in the various shops where they are used, they are loud unless they are in that plexy box !

Proud to be an owner of a ViaMix 5200! I love it, have no problem that it's loud and will use it until it dies. It does so much and we use it all the time.

Mine is loud; they are all loud. But they do the job. If you notice Starbucks uses a sound box too. I just step away. It is never on more than a minute or two anyway.
Exactly. What’s the big Deal?

I don’t know, what are you talking about?

I agree. I understand why Starbucks would use a sound box since they're constantly in use and people are there relaxing and conversing.

I don't understand why anyone would need to use one in their home. I mean, I've never had the occasion that 5 minutes of blending is that bothersome or a time I couldn't wait 5 minutes to have a conversation.

That said...to each their own. Maybe some people have issues with sound? Idk.
