Just a heads up. I have had my Blendtec Blender for about a year and a half now. I love it and use it at least once a week. However, the pitcher has began to leak out the bottom around the shaft. I get on line to check out the problem, thinking I just needed to replace the little rubber ring that fits between the drive shaft and the pitcher. I found that this is a common problem. on a nearly $500 blender. I checked the reviews on this blender and never ran up on this complaint. The rubber o rings are completely sealed off within the pitcher, so there is no way to work on them. The pitcher has to be replaced. Very pricy at 80 to 100 dollars. My blender is still under warranty, thankfully. So I called Blendtec and gave them the serial number of my blender, the number off the bottom of my pitcher and the name of who I baught it from. (always buy from a Blendtec dealer) The Blendtec rep said they would send me a new pitcher in 2 or 3 days. I am relieved and pleased at he customer service, but disappointed that the pitcher wears out so fast.

I will use my old pitcher to grind up seeds and grains. They scratched the pitcher up anyway. (they should be made of thick, heavy glass)Considering the pitcher problem, I might would have went with a Vitamix.Just wanted to give a heads up for those that might be trying to decide between a Vitamix or Blendtec.Funny. The very thing that made me decide on the Blendtec, (the pitcher) is the thing that is giving me trouble.Well, kudos to Blendtec for replacing it though. Want to stay up to date with this post?

I spoke with our small appliance buyer here at corporate and he stated we will not be carrying Vitamix or Blendtec blenders anytime in the near future.  I apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks for your question!n|Senior Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® CorporateM I'm not sureprised your not going to see them here. But you don't have to purchase from Cost or Ama

z. You can buy directly from the manufacturer. If you can't decide which one to buy check out this Vitamix or Blendtec ReviePM Hey Ryan, I was reviewing blenders and I too was considering a more top of the line blendeblack and decker 10450 blender partsr.  My first thought of course was to see what Best Buy sells - was disappointed to see that you guys weren't offering the Vitamix or blendtemargaritaville blender dm2000c.  Do you by chance sell the Montel Williams Health Master blendebraun hand blender 4179r?  I was reading reviews and would feel more comfortable buying it from a store like Best Buy, in case there were issuvitamix blender model vm0103 parts

es. Thanks in advance, Ton PM I am looking for the blender, hopefully a rather good one, what is one of the best selling blenders at best b2 AM Don't believe the items you see on television infomercials at 2am as being of high quality, because they arseagram's blenders pride rare premium whisky priceen't. Most of the blenders on the market that promise you the world don't deliver and I have heard a lot of people complaining about the Montel Williams model as complete gavitamix turboblend vs ukrbage.You should really look into the VitaMix or Blendtec mokitchenaid blender redflagdealsdels. Best Buy doesn't carry them as stated, but you check them out a local Costco which is where you will get your best

deal. The Blendtec website will list their "rolling roadshow" demos meaning when they will be at a Costco near you so you can go in and watch an in-store demo. I believe for the time being you can only buy a Blendtec at Costco when they have an in-store demo going on.VitaMix has a model now in Costco that doesn't require an in-store demo. It is the 5200c model and is $379.99. The Blendtec model when sold at Costco is the same price. Vitamix comes with a 7-year warranty, as well as a $50 credit towards a larger container or extending the warranty to 10 years. The Blendtec comes with a 4 year warranty everywhere else, with a option to buy 3 more years, but when you purchase at Costco, you get the 3 additional years for free by sending in a special card with a copy of your Costco receipt into Blendtec.I have a Blendtec, and so far I am not overly impressed, I think because the unit I have may have a problem, after a month old its already causing a burning smell, but my problem is probably very isolated, lots of people swear by Blen
