We get by just fine with just one large container. Something inside me wants more, though. I suspect it is my disease making its presence felt.
I got the CIA Professional series from Bed, Bath and Beyond - I used a 20% off coupon. I called Vitamix to ask about the differences in the 5000 series vs. the CIA and was told that they are the same. The only difference is the cookbook and DVD that is included.
I get it. I ended up buying a breville sous Chef, but I get it. I spent a day looking at the Thermomix online once.I want a Robot Coupe R2 and nobody else gets it.

We have both at work. The robo is great for many things, but it can't do some things the Vitamix can. And it does some things better than the Vitamix. If I had to choose just one, I would get the Vitamix. If I could only afford one nice one, I would get the Vitamix and then get a cheap food processor.
I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. I just picked up the Vitamix box and brought it to the sales counter and was able to use my coupon. I never realized that there were exclusions. I've been able to use the 20% off coupons for everything.How did you do this? All the coupons I see from them exclude Vitamix products for their 20% off.
And the fact that the Blendtec doesn't come with a plunger is completely mind boggling to me and a total deal breaker.
I'll have to say that I love my Blendtec.
Thanks for the opinion. Much cheaper than Jamba Juice, and especially with four kids. Definitely, lots of smoothies.When we had the Blendtec for a couple of weeks, we found it had plunger-worthy problems almost as often as the Vitamix. I guess we like our frozen smoothies, lol.

If you haven't watched any of the will it blend vids, you owe it yourselves to sacrifice a couple of minutes! I like to see him blend a custom Kramer... that would be fun... :eek2:

I have the Vitamix, but an R2 would be a nice compliment to it. Add a Hobart n50 mixer and I'd be a happy guy.
I thought about a breville immersion blender for that. Is that a Robot Coupe immersion blender?We blend a lot of soups, and doing them in the Vitamix works well but is time consuming when you have to do a bunch. So we added this guy to our lineup. Once the soup is ready to blend, stick it in the stock pot, lock the trigger and walk away. Come back later, pass the soup through a chinoise and you're done.

The fact that one must fill out a form to request a price quote on this item leads me to believe it is slightly more expensive than this.
Sounds very nice. Don't know if I could get a stockpot on my stove to fit that :biggrin:Yep. A giant one. Over 30" long total.
Not available in pink though.
Lol only one thing pink in my kitchen. My wife's gift for her birthday. Pyrex pink stems casserole dish. Very rare.Just a bit. Not available in pink though.
