Re: what would you do...quick please...vitamix
 

i'd get it! :rockon

Re: what would you do...quick please...vitamix
 

ok...she did say this...she doesn't have the little plastic hole cover...where u'd pour stuff in....
do you think that would be fine?

Re: what would you do...quick please...vitamix
 

Mine is a different model, but it doesn't have a plastic hole cover. I just throw a towel over it to keep splatter off the ceiling. ;) Also - you know the reason they use those in smoothie shops?... BEcause they last FOREVER and ROCK and work SOOOOOO well!!!! I would TOTALLY get it!!!! :yes :rockon (ANd if you don't like it, you could always sell it on ebay & at least get back what you paid.)

I just looked at themodel- it IS just for drinks, though I'm sure it's powerful enough it would probably crush nuts and stuff too if that's what you want it for. Vitamixes are awesome. Also, that hole is small enough, you could just cover it w/your hand while you're blending. :yes

Re: what would you do...quick please...vitamix
 

ok....so i'm just beyond excited and a little nervous though cause it's craigslist and she has to ship it

please pray with me about this that everything goes smoothly....and i can NOT wait!!! woo hoo! :heart :rockon

thanks kawani! i told my dh that yours didn't have the plastic hole cover....i think he was going to tell me not to get it :phew

Re: what would you do...quick please...vitamix
 

Also...I got mine off craigslist & I was super nervous too because we live in SC & it was in Nevada and had to be shipped. :nails All was fine!!!! I am SO glad I got it! I hope yours gets there fast!!!!!

Re: what would you do...quick please...vitamix
 

thank you!
what model is yours.....if you don't mind me asking....do you think the model i'm getting is a decent one? :shifty

Re: what would you do...quick please...vitamix
 

It seems fine. It doesn't make any claims to grind grain or anything heavy duty, but I've used regular blenders to do that when I've been in a pich and if they worked, then the Vitamix (king of all blenders) certainly should. :shrug I'd be excited about it. :yes Mine is a 3600...I swear it's like 30 years old. :giggle

Re: what would you do...quick please...vitamix
 

omgosh!
NOW what would you do?
i just now have the option of getting a 2 year old one for 200 dollars?

i'll fill in the details in a bit....

what would you choose? :nails

Re: Vitamix ANOTHER option....Now wwyd?
 

I think you should get them both and send me one! LOL

Seriously, I'd need to know more about the $200 one to give an opinion.

AFA the thingie to cover the hole, won't Vitamix sell ya one? Maybe if you call their customer service, they'll send ya one for free. I do that with the kid's toys sometimes when we're missing a piece :shrug

Re: Vitamix ANOTHER option....Now wwyd?
 

the 200 one is from a guy i talked to about getting a saladacco for only 10 bucks! i was whining about getting raw food stuff :O on the phone to him and asked if he had a vitamix...he said...he would get me one for 200 dollars and it's only 2 years old because he works at a rest. making raw food snacks!!!! :jawdrop i about passed out......

so i can get a new one....for about 200 bucks...well, 2 years old!!


or one that's been used in a smoothie shop and doen'st have the plastic covering thingy for 125.....

and the other one is older...much older.... :think :shifty :rockon

Re: Vitamix ANOTHER option....Now wwyd?
 

GO for the $200 one. You can always resell. Seriously. Wow, what a deal!

Re: Vitamix ANOTHER option....Now wwyd?
 

ok....i think so too....woo hoo
:woohoo
