S/O vitamix

[pumpkin]

I've been looking at these for awhile now, and would like one of the newer models that fits under kitchen cupboards. However, there are several models and options. Can anyone recommend a model? I'm sure they're all fine, but too many options! lol

Which container(s) do you have and find you use most? And any thoughts on a 48oz v 64oz container?

I think I have the 6200. It has three presets - frozen deserts, hot soups and smoothies. Then just the regular dial. The presets are nice to have, but not necessary.

I'd definitely get the 64 oz vs. The 48 oz. When you're doing some soups and other things, it gets very full and I wouldn't want to lose that volume.

I got mine from Costco. I really don't think you can go wrong with any version. I also think the website has a comparison site.

Refurbished ones are a good deal, and they have the same warranty as the new ones.

If you want the shorter containers, you'll want to stick to the "Next Generation" G-Series. Of those, the Professional Series 750 is the latest and greatest... most powerful and also the quietest. If that's too pricey, I'd go with the 7500... or even look into the factory reconditioned next generation blenders, which are practically brand new and still come with a great warranty. One last tip is to use a promotion code from an online affiliate like <admin removed link> to get free shipping and other special deals.
