  1. Hello,

    I would like to get a Vita-mix 5000, but am somewhat
    discouraged by the high price (about $400). Are they worth
    it? I plan to use it a lot, but it still seems pretty high.

    Does anyone know where I can get a new one for less? I live
    on Long Island, NY. Thanks.

    I think it is "worth it" if you have a specific need for a
    $400 blender. I suspect that if you don't, it will collect
    dust. Do you find yourself saying "Oh, I really wish I could
    do XYZ buy my blender isn't powerful enough" When I see them
    demonstrated, I just walk away thinking how glad I am not to
    be among the few who need to make soup in a blender.

    You might want to haunt the thrift shops for a while. I
    picked up a Vita-Mix Super 3600 in mint condition at a local
    thrift shop for the princely sum of CDN $10.00. It is a
    great machine but, I'm sure I'd never be able to rationalize
    spending what they want for a new one.

    Before looking further, keep in mind that--despite what the
    ads imply--it's just a blender. You make hot soups by
    putting in hot ingredients, and you make smoothies and the
    like by putting in very cold ingredients. It's a powerful
    blender, but just a blender.

    I had nothing but problems with the Vita-Mix I used to
    own. Gave it away to friends who soon gave it away to
    friends, etc.

    I prefer and frequently use my circa 1957 Osterizer. Never
    a problem!

    Looks like a dandy sauce machine to me! :-)
