@skittles2  I don't know if they do more than one TSV a year, but if it's only one, it's usually late summer.  As for other shows, or additional TSVs, hopefully someone else will have an answer.

My son got one heck of deal on a Vitamix from Amazon. I was really ticked when I saw his, it was much more machine with a larger container and same warranty. I paid more for my TSV 5 years ago than he paid for his today.I think the company makes a lesser machine for the Q.

Mine has never worked as efficiently or smoothly as the ones they demo with Jan Muller on QVC.  (mine was from QVC)

@skittles2 Search this post called QVC’s TSVs for February 2018. Vitamix is listed as the 18th.

Thanks everyone! Cat Happy

 

Great info. Costco is having a demos sometime in Feb. I may go to each store around me to see in person. I understand they usually bring a few models to demo and sell.

I haven't had good luck with mine either.  I bought it on the Q and mine is one that has the defective blade in it.  Personally I don't feel they are worth the money.  I went back to using my old blender which actually works just as well if not better and the container is glass not plastic.  The blades are a good grade of stainless stea too.  I agree with another poster how the Q gets a cheap version of the product.  That's how they sell them cheaper!  Lesson learned.

@Hi,  how could we find out if Vitamix makes a lesser quality for Q or other stores?  Is there a legal dept. @ Vitamix, etc., that would have to disclose? I'd be interested to find out, and any other brands.

I bought my new VM on Feb 14th of 2016--seems like Feb is the month for them. Mine works like a charm--use it everyday. Used my moms 1980 VM until 2016---it was all stainless steel. Couldn't find parts for it, so retired the old girl!!

Mine works fine but I got the recall notice for the blade so I'm getting a replacement.

 

I didn't get mine from qvc.
