Not worth it. I have the 750 and never use the presets. I got a good deal on mine but still wish I went with the lower model. The squareness of the pitcher impacts how it's mixed as well (in my opinion).

I bought from Costco for the return policy.

I also bought both the Vitamix and the Blendtec (this was several years ago) and WANTED to love the Blendtec because I liked how it looked more, but the Vitamix felt a lot more solid and was mechanical rather than electronic (good for longevity), so I ended up sticking with the Vitamix.

I'd buy from Costco because of their return policy.

Try googling Costco and Vitamix and you'll be able to find which Costco has the Vitamix demos going on. You could also call the Costco 800 number.

We love our Vitamix. Have had it for 5 years. Superb customer service.

That said, I was impressed with the blendtec demo at Costco last week. I like that you don't need the tool to push down ingredients and you can use it without a lid. Definite advantages to the Blendtec, but I'm already invested in my Vitamix - plus I'm loyal.

Not even in the same league.

I think QVC has them on as a special pretty regularly. I've never looked to see if the pricing is any good though.

I would buy from Costco because of their return policy. Even though Vitamix give you a 10 year guarantee.

The 750 runs about $650 plus shipping. That's on Amazon prime as well. Williams Sonoma offers that price too, has a 20% off sale that ends today plus free shipping.

Costco had a demo last month. I don't think there are any sales going on right now.

I got a good deal on one at whole foods, strangely. They don't sell them all the time. I think they sell them for a good price when a new model is coming out. That is, they get a deal on the current model, when it's about to be replaced. I didn't mind that, though.

Costco doesn't sell them on a regular basis, it's usually part of a road show sort of thing. I have the 6300 from Costco. I think your best bet might be Amazon.

You can get refurbished ones from the vitamix website--same warranty as a new one.

You'll probably get the best deal from Costco whether it's strictly based on price or when you account all the extras they usually include.

Any ideas where to buy the Vitamix 7500 or 750? Anybody know what is a good deal?
