Fantastic price. I bought this new 2 years ago for $300 and have used it heavily, it is an excellent machine.

FWIW, there have been studies that indicate the Tritan material used in this blender and most other high performance blenders may leech into food and effect the endocrine system in a manner similar to BPA.(Source [npr.org], another source [motherjones.com]) Additionally, over time the clear plastic containers get heavily scratched, so they may be putting microplastics into your food.

Everyone makes their own decisions, but it's worth being aware of. Personally, I ended up buying the well-made but overpriced stainless steel container from Vitamix and using it instead of the plastic one.

Why don't Vitamix gives us a choice on picking the container of our liking. It sounds like a money grab tbh.

I' own a 750 but need to shell another 100 for 32oz as 64oz doesn't do well in small batches. Atleast they should give them option to exchange or buy with configurable option

Oster sells all glass ones. it's so cheap. Get one from Target, JC Penny or Macy's. Forgot to mention, Wally and bestbuy.

Plastics do get scratched, and bacteria grows in between. That's why plastic water bottles are disgusting. but who cares? We eat a credit card every day.
Wow. Do you also eat platinum credit cards every day too? Tell us that experience. 🍿

arent plastic water bottles 1 time use? did you turn them inside out then scrub them to your hard body or something? how the hell do they get scratched?

micrometal from your stainless steel is better than microplastics? they both get scratched off anyway
I'll take iron shavings over plastic particles in my lungs any day of the week.

We eat a credit card worth of plastic every day?

That's like 10 ziplock bags. You just made that up and it is completely false.

I currently use a ninja blender in bullet form and it works great. Any reason to upgrade to this?

If it works great, don't change. If you want an example of what the difference looks like, see project farm https://youtu.be/KtVWtKn0_D4

Got it for $177 after tax with the $25 coupon you get emailed when you sign up for their email or register an account on their site, took about almost 3 hours for me to get the coupon code email

I got a refurb back in the day forvlike $250, I wanna say. We used it a lot, so we broke down and bought the low profile so we could leave it on the counter. Gave the tall one away, I think? Or else it's lost somewhere. Anyway if you want it but can't afford it new, I would say get it. Bonus is the low profile container, so it fits on the counter and under the cabinets. And seriously who has huge families anymore? For how many people are you many smoothies or soups for
