Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vitamix Turbo Blend 4500 Countertop Blender with 2+ HP Motor
Customer Review: B for Product, F for Packaging
Summary: 3 Stars
the product arrived in an inner cardboard box and and outer cardboard box, between the two was a bit of wadded paper for padding. inside the inner box the product pieces were all secured between two large fitted styrofoam pieces. the tamper was broken obviously from the torque of being held between the two pieces of styrofoam.
when i asked amazon.com to please replace the tamper they required me to return the entire blender even though they sell tampers separately. the blender weighs 14#. the tamper weighs 7oz. this was extremely disappointing.
i asked amazon to please at least not wedge the tamper between styrofoam pieces and preferably not use any styrofoam at all. to surround the parts with paper... paper like the paper they use between the two boxes.
when the replacement blender arrived it was packaged exactly as the first. tons of styrofoam and the tamper wedged at the risk of torque. fortunately this one survived the shipping.
the reason i rated only "B" for product is for the "play" of the pitcher while sitting on the base. i have almost knocked it off more than once and feel i need to have a hand on top while blending or else it may fly off.
Description of Vitamix Turbo Blend 4500 Countertop Blender with 2+ HP Motor
It's not a blender - it's a Vitamix. The Vitamix TurboBlend 4500 is designed to render the full bioavailability of whole foods such as apples, strawberries, greens and more. This includes the leaves, peel, stem - where you find all the valuable fiber. The TurboBlend 4500 breaks down whole foods, releasing phytonutrients that help build the immune system, fight disease and improve overall health. The super-efficient 2-peak horsepower motor runs substantially cooler when mixing thicker ingredients like nut butters and frozen treats. It also processes fresh, whole foods in seconds to deliver superior taste and texture. The container is oversized, 64-ounce capacity made from Eastman Triton copolyester material that is virtually unbreakable, more chemical resistant and contains no BPA. Unit features a locking lid design for easy removal. A Healthy Lifestyle recipe book containing over 150 step-by-step recipes in full color in included. Vitamix 4500 is covered by a full 5-year warranty from the most trusted brand in high performance blending equipment.Blenders
