  • Thelin T-4000. Piece to furniture with a payback. :-)

  • Haha. Thanks for the compliment. :-)

  • Also, for the record, I tried a Blendtec style carafe and ended up sending it back. Why? The lid leaked. The drips after pouring would run down the side and make a mess. The food would bridge requiring the tamper more often.

    Outdated? Irrelevant? You're entitled to your opinion, but this is a blender, not a Mac vs. PC debate...

  • Super, enjoy your $1000 blender. Now back to comparing two blenders that are still more money than most want to pay, but great performing products nevertheless.

    BTW, my VP3 has been making nearly 64 oz of fruit and veggie purée (ok, smoothies) daily since I posted this video and I'm very happy with my choice!

  • Blades are identical. IMO, any temp difference is relevant. As always, you'll have to draw your own conclusions with the info provided.

  • Yes, either fit.

    Container sits right in the base perfectly every time, so no worries there. For school, you'll likely need a sound enclosure because these blenders make a lot of noise!

  • How does the 5200 only get the edge in warranty when it's more than twice that of the vita prep 3?

  • What kind of stove is in the background of this video?

  • I needed this to help make my decision!

    Thanks for all your efforts!!!

  • Quicker performance = cooler and more enzyme rich Raw Food.

    A breeze with ice, avocado pits, and all that one would process. Get it through a reputable restaurant supply house; such as mine came from Restaurant Equipment World.( I have no affiliation nor sell anything.)

  • I like your methods of testing, nice work.

  • Thanks a lot!!! I know which one to purchase now :O)

  • Nice comparison. Thanks.

  • 7 yr warranty? Sold!
