TSV VItamix Blender

Vitamix has a TSV blender coming up soon. I still haven't decided on a new one or price yet.

I miss getting the Insider sent in the mail as I bought many of the TSV's and I knew what was coming up. No idea now what is coming up unless I happen to turn it on. QVC is losing business more than the cost of what the Insider cost to send to us.

I just saw it is a 48oz blender with an extra container no a photo but no item number or price yet for a PreSale.

Thanks.

They have a valentines day flash sale on vitamix website for the reconditioned 780. I think it ends at noon today.

I'm not really happy with my Vitamix. I really believe they are not worth the price. I've posted before, went back to my old blender with a glass container and stainless steel blades. Works just as good for less than 1/2 the price. JMO

The Vitamix really is overated and overpriced.

Returned the my purchase.

I couldn't live without my VM!!! Use it everyday and have never been dissappointed. Used my moms VM stainless steel one she bought in 1980 until 2016 when I bought my new one. Worth every penny!!!

My Vitamix came with two containers, but no variable speed control. I hate it.

i would suggest to make sure the upcoming TSV has a variable speed function before you buy. If not, you,will get two speeds...fast and faster. There is very control and you are limited in what you can make in it.

Thank you for the replies. Maybe I will end up ordering the Kitchen Aid Diamond 5 speed blender in the Cranberry or Raspberry color on Bed Bath and Beyond. I can get an extra 20% off also. I use my blender mostly for smoothies because of my ongoing throat issues. Thank you for taking the time to answer. Everyone here is honest and that is refreshing.

I was watching the America's Test Kitchen yesterday. They reviewed blenders. They scored the Breville (for 189) the winner. It happens to be the one they've used for years - so they could be prejudiced?

If I was gonna order a blender I'd get Wolfgang's at HSN. He advertises

that his as good as the Vitamix and whole lot cheaper. Might be noisy.

I had one from Breville long time ago I gave to my nephew it sounded

like a freight train. LOL

One I got is that chinese sounding name can't think of it right now

Love it ! from walmart and paid less then 100 for.

I have been so tempted many times when QVC has had a Vitamix as the TSV, but, I just can't reconcile myself to spending that much money on a blender. Does anyone have this model and if so, do you like it.? Why are they offering only a 5 year warranty on this one when some other models go 10 years?

After watching the Vitamix presentation, I remembered I needed a new Tamper. Definitely won't order it from their website. For a $12 item, it will cost about $11!! Amazon to the rescue!!

@moon_gazer, I can't say this is 100% positive since I didn't look at every blender, but I did look at some of the most expensive models on Vitamix's website and the best warranty they had is 7 years. It can be upgraded for a price as can the 5 year warranty.

I have a Kitchen Aid blender and love it for my protein smooties (Nutrisytsem chocolate--yum!). If you use it mainly for smooties, why spend so much for a VItamix? My pretty yellow Kitchen Aid has held up for years!

I ended up ordering the Kitchen Aid Diamond blender online at Bed Bath and Beyond in the Raspberry Ice. The blender was $129.00 so I used the 20% coupon I had and along with free shipping I saved $26.00. It arrived in a brown box within two days and the box inside had a Kitchen Aid box like I would buy in a store. Sometimes things from QVC come in a plain box when you open the box they arrive in. Not good if giving as a gift.

It is the exact color as shown online and is very quiet even crushing ice. It is easy to clean and fits under my cabinets on my counter. I am very happy with it and it has a 5 year warranty.

I am happy I didn't get the Vitamix as it was way more than I needed.

I'm not thrilled with my Vitamix either. Doesn't seem to work as easily as when they demo them on QVC. Now I have it in a cabinet--so you know what that means. Seldom use it. (had it 5+ years, I think)
