Vitamix Creations is QVC special value today for $399.90. Inludes a dry container. Can't make up my mind.

You might consider calling their outlet store directly and see what they can do vs. QVC. The following is from their USA web site under "Contact Us" :D

Fitzie,

Looking at that, I see it is a toned down model - only 48 oz containers, only two speeds, and slightly lower power. I wouldn't go for it. That 64oz container is a real plus, and there are mant times I find it best to start at the lowest speed, and ease into the higher speeds. Out of curiosity, I checked out Vitamix.com, to see what their prices were on the same models, but they kept coming up "page not found". Did QVC hack into this site, to prevent comparing?

I completely agree with Dave; you want the variable speeds.
Dave - I'm not having any problem accessing products on their site.

Yup, the fully variable speed is one of the things that makes it great.

Now I am having no probems on their home site, either. That was weird.

Thanks, everybody. When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is
