Vitamix Certified Refurbished Blenders — Are They Worth to Consider?

Vita­mix Cer­ti­fied Refur­bished Blenders: Their lofty price often stops con­sumers who are inter­est­ed in buy­ing high-pow­ered blenders for home use. How­ev­er, it seems there is a solu­tion to this prob­lem. For exam­ple, Vita­mix, which is a leader in the high-end blender mar­ket, offers a cer­ti­fied recon­di­tioned mod­el that is dis­count­ed by an aver­age of 38% and even more than the orig­i­nal price. There­fore, many cus­tomers won­der if the Vita­mix-cer­ti­fied recon­di­tioned machines demon­strate the same dura­bil­i­ty and qual­i­ty of per­for­mance as the orig­i­nal mod­els and thus are wor­thy of buying.

In our arti­cle, we will ana­lyze all of the pros and cons of Vita­mix refur­bished blenders to answer this question.

What is wrong with the units that went through reconditioning?

The recon­di­tioned machines are select­ed from those returned by cus­tomers. But Vita­mix machines are well-known for their excep­tion­al qual­i­ty and very low num­ber of faulty fea­tures. So, where do those machines that go through the recon­di­tion­ing process come from? Why were they returned, and why are there so many of them?

1. Wrong mod­el or col­or orders

Some­times peo­ple pur­chase the wrong col­or or mod­el. Then, when the machine arrives, the cus­tomer may change his or her mind and decide, for exam­ple, to replace the brushed stain­less mod­el with the cheap­er black mod­el and thus save some mon­ey or vice ver­sa. Or, the cus­tomer may decide to upgrade the mod­el to one with pre-set pro­grams or, in the oppo­site sce­nario, down­grade to the machine with­out pre-pro­gram set­tings, thus sav­ing some mon­ey. Con­sid­er­ing the 30-day free ship­ping return option, Vita­mix con­sumers can quite eas­i­ly change their minds because it does not affect their bud­get. Hence, the returned units will go into the recon­di­tion­ing process.

2. Orders on impulse

Vita­mix sells a large vol­ume of their prod­uct on demon­stra­tions — Cost­co, Whole Foods, and oth­ers. The sales­peo­ple are so per­sua­sive that many peo­ple buy the blender on impulse. But when they bring the unit home, they real­ize that they can­not afford it or they sim­ply will not uti­lize all of the func­tion­al­i­ty of the blender, and then they decide to go for a cheap­er and sim­pler machine. These “impulse orders” will be sent back to Vita­mix, and these units often were nev­er even turned on.

 3. Live demon­stra­tion units

The demon­stra­tors use a sig­nif­i­cant num­ber of the machines dur­ing road­shows, some for demon­strat­ing the blender oper­a­tion process and some for dis­plays. The ones that are used for dis­play usu­al­ly are nev­er even turned on, while those that are used for demon­stra­tions only run a small num­ber of cycles. How­ev­er, these machines also need to be sold, and they are in per­fect order to be uti­lized. So, this cat­e­go­ry also fills the stock for recon­di­tion­ing candidates.

How are these Vita­mix units reconditioned?

Reconditioning Process

There is a strict process every recon­di­tion­ing can­di­date blender must go through. First, the machines are test­ed and re-inspect­ed by trained tech­ni­cians using a 17-step inspec­tion process. Then, this recon­di­tion­ing process is applied to the base unit and blade assem­bly only. All of the oth­er blender parts and acces­sories will be replaced by BRAND NEW items.

The inspec­tors will keep only the machines that have “like new” base units and blades. Any tech­ni­cal faults with the motor, dri­ve sys­tem, con­trol pan­el, or obvi­ous exte­ri­or issues will exclude the machine from any fur­ther refurbishing.

1. Base unit

Only base unit with a “like new” appear­ance, which was man­u­fac­tured less than 5 years ago (accord­ing to the base unit date stamp), are allowed in the recon­di­tion­ing process. To qual­i­fy, these base units must also be free of notice­able scratch­es, chips, or oth­er appear­ance issues. All base unit rub­ber feet must be in place and with­out vis­i­ble wear signs. The cen­ter­ing pad on the top of the unit base must be free of visu­al wear or scratch­es; oth­er­wise, it will be replaced with a brand-new one. The inspec­tion of the base unit is final­ized with a check for motor func­tion­al­i­ty with tech­ni­cal devices. It will be run 3 times.

2.  Con­trol Panel

The con­trol pan­el must look new, with­out scrapes or any oth­er marks. Like­wise, the Pulse, On/Off switch­es, and dial knob must be clean, ful­ly func­tion­al, and with­out any scratch­es or vis­i­ble marks.

3. Blade

To be qual­i­fied for the refur­bish­ing process, the blade date stamp must indi­cate that it was man­u­fac­tured less than 1 year ago. Any blade with wear signs, any indi­ca­tion of rust or dam­age, or assem­bly rota­tion prob­lem will be ruled out and replaced by a brand new blade. All blades that get through the re-inspec­tion pro­ce­dure at this stage will be high-tem­per­a­ture san­i­tized and fit­ted in a new container.

4. Brand New Accessories

All Vita­mix refurbished/reconditioned machines include the fol­low­ing brand-new accessories:

• Pre­mi­um qual­i­ty Tri­tan copoly­ester 64 oz. high pro­file or 48 oz. low pro­file (depend­ing on mod­el) container;
• Cus­tom tam­per suit­able for the con­tain­er type;
• Rub­ber lid and plug;
• Cook­books (depend­ing on model).

Warranty and Customer Service

All of the recon­di­tioned Vita­mix mod­els usu­al­ly come with a 5‑year FULL WARRANTY, com­pared to the typ­i­cal 7 years for the major­i­ty of orig­i­nal mod­els. The Full war­ran­ty cov­ers all parts, per­for­mance, repair labor (when need­ed), and ship­ping both ways. The recon­di­tioned model’s 5‑year war­ran­ty does not mean that the life expectan­cy is short­er on aver­age than for the orig­i­nal mod­els. Vita­mix blenders are famous for their dura­bil­i­ty, and a 5‑year war­ran­ty for refur­bished mod­els just reflects the low­er sell­ing price. An extra 3‑year Extend­ed War­ran­ty is also avail­able for Cer­ti­fied Refur­bished machines if the extend­ed war­ran­ty is paid for at the same time as the machine is purchased.

Vita­mix cus­tomer ser­vice is the best in the indus­try and is always ready to resolve any issues. The refur­bished machine also offers a risk-free, 30-day mon­ey-back guar­an­tee if cus­tomers are not com­plete­ly sat­is­fied with the prod­uct. This all con­firms the true high qual­i­ty of the cer­ti­fied con­di­tioned machines and the neg­li­gi­ble dif­fer­ence between the refur­bished and the orig­i­nal models.

Summary

The Vita­mix recon­di­tion­ing pro­ce­dure includes a rig­or­ous selec­tion and qual­i­fy­ing process, and the mod­els that reach cus­tomers are undoubt­ed­ly qual­i­fied to have “like new” con­di­tions. There is no per­for­mance or visu­al dif­fer­ences between the orig­i­nal and refur­bished mod­els. All the func­tion­al­i­ty, tech­ni­cal para­me­ters, and includ­ed acces­sories are the same as the orig­i­nal mod­els. Some units come in the orig­i­nal full-col­or box, while oth­ers come in a brown box with print­ed Vita­mix logos. All blenders are prop­er­ly pack­aged, fit­ted in cus­tom-cut Sty­ro­foam, and have no sign on the unit or pack­age that it is a recon­di­tioned model.

Since the man­u­fac­tur­er offers recon­di­tioned mod­els for all its prod­uct lines, those Vita­mix recon­di­tioned mod­els that have a more attrac­tive price tag, no doubt, are an excel­lent option for cus­tomers who are on a tight bud­get but are look­ing for a qual­i­ty, high-per­for­mance blender.
