Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 After reading the discussions here about the VitaMix, and after straining my very old Hamilton-Beach blender beyond its capacity in making some Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, I decided to order a VitaMix. I ended up paying full price, as the coupon code for free shipping on the Web site video didn't kick in. Then my wife went to Costco and there was a VitaMix rep there selling the 5200 for $399 (with no shipping, of course). ARGH! Oh well, I've got it, it's here, and I've already made the Hummus in the Getting Started booklet. Turned out great. Just the beginning, no doubt. I've just got to make sure the thing is set to Low before I hit the On switch! Sent the dog running out her door into the back yard! Cheers, Mike P.S. I've started a new blog on food and cooking.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 I know I just got one also, its great. I got a lesser model the 4500 I think or 4200 something like that, for 299.00 but its more than powerful enough for my needs. I'm done in minites where it took me 1/2 an hour. And things are much much smoother.
