RE: Re: re New VM ... and the warranty on it.

[Guest guest]

That is why it has a 5-year warranty. That is the machine we made for QVC - they are sold at such a deep discount (on QVC) that some cosmetic things are not added and the warranty is reduced. It being offered on our website is the way we establish "Retail Value" so the Discount on QVC appears to have validity.

The 5200 is the base model without pre-setsThe Pro 500 is the base model with pre-sets.These are the two main machines sold for the home market. The packaging and marketing of these two main foundations is targeted to different markets.What cookbook do you want? One for basic home use? One for Vegans and Vegetarians? or one for Chefs and Caterers? Different packages come with different cookbooks.Are the pre-sets worth the extra $150 to you?You can get analysis paralysis :-)I have the 5200 and it does all of this - well...

How did you know I have a cooking friend who is trying to decide if he wants this machine or one called a Ninja. He wants a square blender.TerrySent from my iPadHDOn Mar 25, 2012, at 1:17 PM, Lea Ann Savage <lsavage@...> wrote:The 5200 is the base model without pre-setsThe Pro 500 is the base model with pre-sets.These are the two main machines sold for the home market.

I love these videos in that attachment. I must make the cheesy apple fondue! It was fun to watch her make peanut butter and the whole fruit margarita is sure to be a hit with some of my friends.Sent from my iPadHDOn Mar 25, 2012, at 2:11 PM, Terry Pogue <tpogue@...> wrote:

At the last demo I was at the demonstrator said that Vitamix does not discount stainless steel models and they cost $50 more than plastic. Since the Pro 500 is stainless isn't the real cost $100 more? I got my Pro 500 at Sonoma during a Christmas promotion for $449. It is nice just to push a button and walk away from it. It is nice for the grandkids too. Tom From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Lea Ann SavageSent: Sunday, March 25, 2012 1:18 PM Subject: Re: Re: re New VM ... and the warranty on it.

The demonstrator was most likely talking about the stainless 5200 (they retail for $499). Reconditioned 5200 stainless sells for $449.
