I ordered the VitaMix using your free shipping code. I am very excited and can't wait to make all kinds of goodies. I have a bag or sprouted organic pumpkin seeds waiting to be turned into butter!

I rarely use the juicer because I like the fiber and pulp in my smoothies. The VM also makes killer rice milk... it pulverizes the rice so well you may not even have to strain. As for the other acessories.. I do not know. I only have the wet container, standard size and it does all I need. I use it for wet and dry stuff.

I was deciding between this and a juicer and am leaning towards the Vitamix. Have you made rice milk in it? I know you can make nut milks but we have allergies and I am looking for an easy way to prepare rice milk. Also, it seems that the small container, 32 oz. would be a great accessory without spending $200 more for the deluxe model but it's $119 without a lid! If I ever ordered additional containers, would they all fit at the base? Does the lid for the large container fit on the small one? How long does shipping usually take? Thanks! I enjoy the site.

I actually bought the vitamix XL (around $1800) because it has a HUGE and I mean HUGE container, and has 4 hp and is even more phenomenol. It's actually for business use, which I plan to use it for eventually, but right now, at home, it pulverizes anything. BPA free too. I had to get it online though. But Costco.com is a good way to go for those who can't get it locally. You can get the vitamix on the costco.com website.

I saw a vitamix 5000 at our costco here a couple of moths ago. I was really excited about it, but when I had made up my mind the road show was finished..... I researched on the web, as here like so many people we had never seen the likes of the power before! Thats when i saw the new 5200 model and became aware of the BPA issue.... so disappointed that VM apparently have no plans to introduce the new model over here. so I am looking into the Blendtec ( of 'will it Blend?' fame) which is already here with no BPA's in their container. Sooo disappointed as I love the guarentee that costco offer. and more than a little annoyed ;( that VM appears to be off loading their old stock of the 5000 in Europe. had a look at the Wikipedia info re BPA- makes pretty scarey reading.....

If you can wait though that sounds like and awesome deal from buying direct. If you click on the banner on my site... right side... it has an embedded coupon for free shipping. Just FYI.

Our Oster blender of 20 years (!!!) just bit the dust and we've been smoothie-less for a week :(. Any thoughts?
