Vitamix tsv 31/08

Hi, does anyone have any info on the Vitamix tsv please, tia.

I paid £378 plus around £8 postage last August so it should be around that price.
I love mine and use it daily. It is a considerable amount but I do feel that I have bought the best that is around and I can afford it at the moment.

Thanks, ils, I have a Vitamix (and love it, I agree it's the best around) but a friend is interested and I wondered if the tsv would be the same model as last time or if a different model would be offered. Qvc US recently had a diff. model as a tsv and it made me wonder what would be offered in UK. Thanks again

Ideal world had a similar blender on the other day by Cookshop, its less powerful than the Vitamix but they did everything the Vitamix does in the demos and its only £129.99 worth a look if your considering a Vitamix....

Many thanks Supercoolwillow and Autumn for your input, it's much appreciated how quickly you are both able to respond. Thank you.

The ideal world CookShop looks interesting. Probably worth a punt at that price

If you type "blenders that crush ice" into the amazon search box, there are 3 there under £40. I haven't a clue how good or reliable they are, but if you're balking at the price of a Vitamix, it's maybe worth a punt. I've got the alternative one from IW, the Omniblend, £100 cheaper than Vitamix and it's excellent.

I hope so, also hoping for 3 or 4 easy pays. Saying that it is the right side of payday for once! I need something to give me the boot up the backside and get the weight coming off again and I think this might do it!

If you want to lose weight then the 5:2 diet is fantastic and you don't need an expensive blender to do it

Couldn't justify the cost of a Vitamix but am delighted with my Philips (updated Which? Best Buy) from John Lewis (better service than the QVC!). I paid just under £80:

Philips HR2096/01 Avance

Brilliant blender with glass jug and blades manage to deal with ice and linseeds without any problem. Use it every day for my green smoothies.

Thanks for that, qvc - I was trying to remember the actual Philips blender I'd read about - that's the one.

Yes 5:2 is fine if you don't have any health problems, being diabetic it isn't an option for me. I'll stick with low carbs all the time thanks.

Never thought of that.

5:2 is about eating 500 calories for 2 days and then normally for 5 days. The 2 days don't even have to be consecutive days.

500 calories would be so low for me ....I'd faint ...I'd wake up and think ...oh no can't bear it :wonder::sweat: !
I'd be obsessing about food and praying for the next day to arrive ....it's great so many people have found help with it though....i just couldn't do this myself ;0)

Earlier this year I wanted to lose a bit of weight quickly for a party, so I tried the 5:2 diet for a couple of weeks after reading about it on here. I absolutely loathed it and it didn't even work - never again, though everyone is different of course. Cutting down on carbs is the best way for me to keep my weight down, works a treat and I never feel hungry.

Ditto, I haven't tried 5:2, but low carbs works for me. I try to keep under 100g of carbs a day, with loads of protein and veg, also drinking gallons of water and the weight seems to come off at a nice sensible rate. I also don't feel bloated, don't seem to suffer as many headaches or migraines and have loads of energy. Being diabetic I have never eaten a massive amount of sugar, but I have been watching my sugar intake even more recently (some very interesting hidden ones!) and I find that I am no longer craving sweet stuff as much as I used to, so it's true, the more sugar you eat the more you crave it.

I'm going to go for the Vitamix on Sunday if it's on 3 or 4 easy-pays, been wanting one for ages and as I seem to break cheaper blenders trying to much slushies and ice cream I think it will be well worth the money. Good thing is, if I don't like it or get on with it at least it can go back.

I've been examining my Vitamix jug today and i reckon it has cracks in it. No idea why it has cracked as I have not dropped it. I do occasionally use it to crush ice for cocktails. I hope the jug is covered by the 5 year guarantee. Mine is only a year old.
