Against The Odds
Ok, so I bought VitaMix Turbo Blend 4500 Vita-Mix TurboBlend Home Blender 64 oz Carafe even though I read the previous review and didn't get a warm and fuzzy.

Product is OK when working but customer "service" is not
We have a Vita Mix, the 5000 which is similar to the 4500, and it has been malfunctioning on and off since the first week. The product is great when it works, but when it doesn't I sure don't feel like it was worth almost $400.

The second attempt at "service" we were told that the drive gear was probably bad, they would ship the part and I would have to replace it. I was told ... Read More
