There is an upcoming Vitamix TSV that is the Creations Galley model for $379.00 with a 64oz tall container, cookbook, DVD, smoothie recipes, smoothie bottle, and tamper. It comes in Glowing Amber, Sapphire Blue, Pearl Gray, Glacial Blue, and Champagne Quartz colors exclusive to QVC until 4/30/2016. It has 6 value pays as well. I finally broke down and got one. What do you VItamix owners think of the deal and machine?

You should have got one with a shorter container to fit on your countertop and under the cupboards.

At Costco, you can return it if you don't like it after 30 days. No shipping as well. The books, dvd, etc are all included in all Vitamixes.

Congratulations! I have one very similar (the CIA) 64 oz version and I love it. I added on the dry container for $50 which you used to be able to do if you bought a Vitamix so you may want to look and see if you can still do it so you have it all. I think I paid around the same price and I have never regretted it. Loving it right now especially with the soups this time of year.

PS: I'm a little jealous. I didn't get the smoothie bottle.

I have the 64 oz pitcher and I love it. I can make a whole pitcher of smoothies, pour it into a container and keep it in the fridge. If the smoothies are easy to grab-you are more apt to drink one instead of a possibly unhealthy snack.

It doesn't fit under the cabinets, but I don't care about that.

I hope you enjoy it half as much as I love mine!

@CalMom I would go with the shorter container, but I don't have upper cupboards where I plan on keeping it, which is where I've got my Nutribullet, so it isn't an issue. I always let the pitchers and blade housing dry before I put it back, so it is already off. My sister has one from Costco with the tall pitcher and doesn't put the pitcher on the base even though her's is stored under the cupboard.

I'm excited. I have the Nutribullet and Ninja blenders. The Nutribullet is a first gen, so the new Ninja, got on the Q, was much, much smoother. I know the Vitamix will be super smooth. I already know, just short of it being DOA, I'll be keeping it forever!

@Laura14...I'm not planning on using the dry container. My sister got one with her package at Costco. She thought she would be using it since my nephew has a wheat allergy, but so far, doing the flour from whole versus buying it is the same price if not less buying it because of the time factor. We don't have stores with the grains in stock, so price for one is about the same as the other.

@Lacey1, I do plan on doing a whole pitcher, putting them into mason jars, and freezing for 12 days...how many jars came in the case. My sister makes the for the week and freezes. She pulls it out the night before and puts into the fridge, by morning, it is defrosted and super cold. I'll be following her lead on that one.

Thanks. Looks like a good price. I want the taller size too.

I bought this TSV vitamix yesterday!! Am so excited!! My old one is 36 years old, all stainless steel and was my moms. It did so well until very recently and I am sad to say that I will miss it; but can't wait for a new one. Good info about the dry container as I was thinking about ordering that too. Not quite sure if you really need it to process grains into flour as I did that with my old one and the container is the same size. This was what I wanted in the price range I wanted. I went to the VM website and there are re-con ones for $40 less but not the same model or any accessories. Amazon has this one for $500, so I think it's a great deal. Plus easy pay and free shipping----a great deal.

I only use the dry container to make bread crumbs from Fiber One cereal. Congrats on everyone's new purchases!

I thought the same thing about the TSV. I ordered it yesterday too! It really is a good deal, plus I can make my own mayo and creamed soups!

This is cute and a little funny. On one of the Chopped jr. shows the winner was asked what he was going to buy w/his winnings and he said a Vitamix.

Thanks Tigriss for posting this! I had a hard time picking the color and ended up gong with the Champagne.. Looks great! I have been wanting a Vitamix for years and this pushed me over the edge to try. My daughter and I love smoothies and the thought of being able to make ice cream and soups too just made it that much more tempting LOL! Enjoy your new Vitamix!

@Tigriss What I am concerned with is that there is no model number listed anywhere. The price of the vitamix varies with this. I prefer knowing if I am going to get an outdated or old model.

This occurs with the computer laptops that QVC sells. They are overpriced and older versions.

I'd rather go to costco and get one on sale. Same applies to the vitamix.

And I have had mine for years and I would prefer the smaller container not only because it fits better under cabinets but also because if you are not as tall as me (5'9") you will have a hard time.

Re: Upcoming Vitamix TSV

CalMom — Sun, 14 Feb 2016 15:01:23 GMT

A Vitamix is similar to a Dyson.

Overpriced but once you have them, you fall in love.

My research shows that while Vitamix doesn't carry this specific Creations Gallery, it is an up to date model made for QVC. With Vitamix, nothing is really out of date because of the build quality. THis is one of the few appliances that the company builds with the expectation that it will last a lifetime versus a few years like my sister's Samsung washer/dryer they bought 2 years for the washer and 6 years for the dryer before they died beyond repair cost. My washer/dryer are from the late 90s and still going strong from when I got them in 2000. This is the life of new appliances.

I am 5'8" and my sister is 5'6" and neither of us have issues with using the tall 64oz container and tamper. I love the colors, the price, the flex pay, and the combo with the books.

I bought this machine, the very first Creations Vitamix TSV years ago and although I heard the host say this morning that the price is the lowest Vitamix Creations price QVC has ever had, technically that's not correct as I paid $4 LESS around 7 years ago. ~I know, splitting hairs~ but when they say these things it really bugs me when they are not true (I actually have my original Q receipt in my cookbook and just checked~) LOL!

HOWEVER, this is one of the best machines made and the price is fantastic and worth every penny. The carafe is tall and doesn't fit under my cabinets in my five year old home so I did buy the smaller carafe and now have two. Also worth every penny as I keep my machine on my counter and use it for everything....

It's a GREAT DEAL in my very humble opinion.... if you want it, I think this price is great. Oh and back then they only had black!

@CalMom....The demo shows that it is the 5200 model with the Creations Gallery colors.

Re: Upcoming Vitamix TSV

CalMom — Sun, 14 Feb 2016 17:08:58 GMT

I have the 5200 as well with the tall container.

FYI, the small container is $99 at Costco when there is a show at the store.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ng4G9TrsHkESo...I'm plotting to make almond milk in my Vitamix that is arriving tomorrow. I'm a milk purest and nut milks don't do my taste buds joy like cow, sheep, goat...I can tell the difference between full fat all the way down to skim. It is my go to comfort drink/food...better than alcohol. I get organic, skim since I drink so much, about two gallons a week. (Before you go on about milk, I've stayed away from it for two months to make sure it wasn't a allergy/diet/digestion issue, so I keep drinking it.)

I found recipes on youtube for fresh almond milk and figure that it has to taste better for drinking than commercial almond milk. I the commercial in my smoothies now, but I can't drink the stuff. I can barely stand it on cereal because of the sweetness...I get unflavored so not sweetened for me. I would love to see if the fresh stuff is way better than the commercial one. I keep nuts in the house...haha....so I have almonds to use all the time! I can make enough for a week and put it in my weekly smoothie making that I freeze in mason jars and pull out the night before, so I'm not playing with sharp blades at 5am.
