VitaMix from Costco? Is it really a good savings?

[Guest guest]

Our local Costco has a big sign up that says that VitaMix will be

having a demonstration/sale on March 21st.

 

Has anyone bought one at Costco? Is it really a significant savings

off of an ordered one? It didn't list a price and so I have no idea

what the cost is during the demonstration.

 

Also, I see that several people have the L'Equip, which is much

cheaper. What does the L'equip not do that the Vitamix does or

visavera?

 

thanks,

Costco is selling the really good one - model 5000 for about $359 (I think) - I

bought one at Sam's Club two years ago and use it every single day.

 

Check prices online and compare.

Thanks. I didn't even know there were 2 models! I think they

normally give you some added things thrown in, although I really

don't remember.

 

I will check around and if I have to wait until March that will also

give me some time to save up.

Check the vitamix website www.vitamix.com

I think their going rate is $450. That is what I paid.

 

If Costco is having a demo, it is most likely with Vitamix

traveling demonstrators. If they are Vitamix representatives, i.e.,

if your service and warranty will be directly handled by Vitamix

(you would know by the paperwork), then, if they offer a better price,

go for it.

I have had my Vitamix for 6 years and I love it. I always wanted one,

and I could not be convinced to buy anything else. Now they have other

products which give similar results, and some say give better results,

but, since I have my Vitamix, that is what I use. I am not going to

replace it anytime soon. Since I know that they tend to last a very

long time, that might be the rest of my life.

What I cannot do in my Vitamix I can do in my food processor.

 

I hope this helps.

I went to a vitamix demo at our Costco and it is indeed the real

thing and the warranty is handled by costco. The guy doing the demo

was great at showing how he used it and he gave out plenty of

samples. I stood there for at least 30 mins. I think our Costco was

offering it for $350 plus. It was not over $400 but can't remember

the exact price.
