We bought this to replace the exact same model that we’ve had for almost 10years. It’s not the same tho…even after a couple of months of almost daily use, sometimes multiple times a day, it still has a plastic smell when running. Most disturbing is the hesitation as it turns on and when switching from variable into high speed. It still does the job as always but seems less powerful than earlier model and the motor runs so choppily that it seems about to break every time I use it. Too bad the quality went down as the price went up…just like everything else I guess.
Pros: Easy to use, Power

I've been surprised and pleased with this blender's performance and at how quietly it runs. I wasn't sure if I would care for the variable speed knob design. After using the variable speed knob, I really like it as it provides very tactile and precise control.
Pros: Easy to use, Product features

This is the second blender of similar stature that we have purchased from Vitamix. We purchased the first blender 12 years ago, and when that blender recently died we purchased this new blender. The base of this new blender feels considerably lighter than the base of the old blender, and this new blender certainly cannot handle the same tasks that the old blender once did. The new blender has abruptly stopped working a few times already while making banana ice cream. After a prolonged cooldown period, of 15-30min, it has come back to life. But the old blender would rarely do this before it died completely. Aside from banana ice cream, the new blender still handles most tasks with ease.

Hi there! Our newer model are more sensitive to overheating and will shut down quicker to protect the motor. That being said, make sure you take the machine to its highest speed quickly and use the tamper during these tough blends, this will prevent the motor for getting too hot and turning off.
