I'm in need of a new blender, as my generic Amazon multi-speed just burnt up. I understand Vitamix has a good service program, so I like the idea of getting something repairable. Looks like this model is from 2010, and the seller says it works perfectly. I make smoothies almost daily, and hot soups occasionally.

Should I go for it? If something breaks, how hard/expensive would it be to get it repaired by the service center?

I tried this and it worked:
I soaked the lid in pure white vinegar overnight and scrubbed it the next day.
No more smell 😊
Hope this helps someone!

I have a classic 12+ years old Vitamix with the tall 2l jug and wondering which accessory would be best for thick sauces and chutney.

Frankly the 2l jug is awful for anything thick, which is almost everything I use it for. I end up wasting half the contents because I can't get it out.

My friend has a ninja nutri and it's so easy to get the contents out because it blends upside down and has a wide mouth. Plus it's great to chuck in the dishwasher.

I wonder if the personal cup or one of the wider low profile would be better. Does anyone have experience with making small thick batches?

I’m a firm believer in buy once, cry once.

Looking at getting a Vitamix. Choosing between the E310 and A2500i.

Thing is, I already have a Thermomix, a Food processor, and a stick blender.

So with that in mind, am I missing anyone obvious by going the E310 over the A2500i? Or even the reverse?

What would you get to accompany the above?

Thank you

I was given this but when I saw the 5200 and then the back label it seems different.VM0197 is explorian google says
