Holy smokes they are killing me with these presentations.. All day cook event, NOT, all day VITAMIX event it should have been called. I'm gonna watch an ep of Columbo. I love that show still . .

hours and hours and hours and hours of Vitamix. Can't these people sell other things for a change?????? Give these tired TSV's a break. I just can't watch ITKWD any longer. Hours and hours and hours of Dyson, Vitamix, Campanelli stuff.......

@libdem - If you watch the full episode and then come back, that should be just enough time for them to finish another Vitamix presentation; the last one was about 52 minutes long. As always, not sure why we need multiple TSV presentations in ITKWD when the full hour that comes afterward features the TSV only. Sigh...

I own a Vitamix, LOVE it and am enjoying the presentations because I am getting new ideas. I can however, understand the fatigue of anyone that is simply not interested.😊

~~~All we need is LOVE💖

@SandySparkles

BINGO! That's why I enjoy watching them. We own a Vitamix as well & I love getting new recipe ideas from just watching the shows.

Obviously they get a big percentage %%% - of the sales.

Shamefully I ordered one! I have one that is about 10 years old (husband thinks older than that) which is a 5200 that is basically this one without the presets and the pulse. Actually this one was reconditioned from the factory and we paid I think around $400-$500 for it back then.

We use it at a minimum of four times a week, and usually more. So why another one?

1. We both have always said if this one goes, order another immediately. So the 7 year warranty is good and we have a backup machine.

2. We have the tall jar (which fits where we have it), and the dry grain jar and the aeration one. So all will fit either machine base.

3. We thought the pulse feature is something we need and will use, and it's nice that it will shut itself off. We can walk away from it now and not lose track of time.

We got another black one.

I turned David off the minute the vitamix came on. Carolyn had an hour show from 11-12 and then David started in on it at 12:30. That was enough for me. Just got up and started doing other things.

I am one that is not a fan of this product. I ordered one a couple of years ago, ingredients to make anything decent are expensive, and the machine is loud.

Next to my overpriced Keurig that I bought and it broke about 45 days later this is my worst QVC purchase.

I know people love them and thats great but honestly as with all the other TSV's we don't need 10+ hours of this each and every day.

Normally I love the all day cook events, next to the Christmas programming the cook events are my favorite but not today and especially not with this TSV.

I wonder if one of the reasons that QVC shows the TSV so often is that the percentage of shoppers who are impulsive buyers has decreased over the years. but the repetition wears down some viewers after a couple of hours and they succumb to the offering?

Years ago, I used to buy many items first time I saw something I like. I think more than half of everything I bought within the last year I ordered only after seeing it several times. At least 2 TSV's I ordered shortly before midnight!

@loriqvc

so true!!!! I flicked over and it was the start of TSV and watched Cooks Country & America's Test Kitchen & Beekman 1802...

so I got the beginning and end of not 1 but 2 presentations just during ITKWD🙄🙄🙄

I'm disappointed so far again with QVC cooking day

Then what's Rick going to do for his Vitamix hours at 9 and 11pm ET? Why did they schedule those shows if they don't have enough quantity?

They repeat Today's Special Value because it's not the particular show's special sale but rather the Day's special and so that others who don't watch all day long can catch it. They have contracted with the company to sell a certain amount.

I don't understand why some people do not understand this. Do you really watch QVC everyday for 24 hours of the day? I appreciate being able to catch a presentation as I work, do errands, chores, used to socialize but now i make phone calls and watch other channels.

@millieshops , Back when I used to watch QVC a lot more than I do now, the relentless pushing of the potstickers got me to order for the first time. Now I'm mostly a website shopper, but at one time I was as susceptible as the next shopper.

I did about 10 or more drive by 3 second pauses today during advertisements and each and every time........vitamix. Thought maybe they were doing a 24 hr stint on it.

I also have the model you mentioned....I've had mine for over 10 years. Sadly, it's kind of acting like it's ready to die, so I ordered the TSV. I use my Vitamix at least once a day....some days it gets used a lot. I really like the presentations because I do learn new recipes and tips/tricks to make it even more versatile in my kitchen. There are only certain appliances that I keep on my counter daily....my Vitamix, my Foodsaver, my Kitchenaid Stand Mixer and my Breville Smart Oven.😊
