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. -- Argye

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. Ross

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. -- to respond, change "spamless.invalid" with "optonline.net" please mail OT responses only

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! Wayne
