REFURBISHED BLENDTEC & VITAMIX =
THE MOST COST EFFICIENT + LIKE NEW!

I am dedicated to helping my community decide which blender model is the BEST choice for you, your family, and your wallet. The #1 reason why people do not (or cannot!) purchase a commercial blender such as a Blendtec or Vitamix, is because of the cost.

I understand that $400 – $1,000 is out of many people’s price range.

This is why I recommend Refurbished Blendtec and Refurbished Vitamix blenders because they are the MOST COST EFFICIENT way to get one of these like new blenders, even surpassing the cheapest deals on brand new models found at Costco, QVC, or Amazon!

In this Blendtec vs Vitamix review I’m going to break down the different model offerings from each company with recommendations and price comparisons. For help deciding on WHICH model best suits your needs, check out my comprehensive Blendtec vs Vitamix review.

WHAT ARE REFURBISHED BLENDERS?

WHAT DOES IT MEAN

First I want to clarify the meaning of the words “refurbished, recertified, certified reconditioned”. It all means the same thing. Basically, these are blenders that have been used during demonstrations, or are returns for whatever reason.

Some of you know about my humble beginnings as a blender demonstrator at Costco – at every roadshow I had 3 to 6 blenders I used gently and/or were on display and never used – these same blenders would then be returned at the end of the show to be reconditioned.

Other returns include people changing their mind, upgrades, and yes even blenders that need to be serviced.

If a returned blender has any worn or broken parts it will be replaced with new parts, therefore the blender that you will receive is virtually brand new.

Refurbished Vitamix and Blendtec blenders all come with:

  • New Jar
  • New Lid
  • New Tamper (Vitamix only)
  • New Cookbook

Owning a Refurbished Blendtec or Refurbished Vitamix is similar to buying a certified pre-owned luxury car – meaning significant savings over the cost of a brand new blender.

Just like a luxury pre-owned vehicle, used Vitamix and Blendtec blenders all go through a number of quality inspections in the reconditioning process – they are required to pass rigorous checklists at their factories here in the USA.

They must perform like a new machine to pass.

WARRANTY

Reconditioned Vitamix and Blendtec blenders not only look and perform in like new condition, but they also come with a strong warranty. This warranty covers wear and tear. You cannot beat that.

Refurbished Vitamix come with a 5 year warranty.

Refurbished Blendtec come with a 3 year warranty.

NO RISK GUARANTEE

Vitamix and Blendtec both offer a risk-free 30 day in-home trial so you can try one out for yourself. If you’re not satisfied, for any reason just return it for a reimbursement.

Vitamix is step above Blendtec here: They even pay for shipping both ways in their no risk guarantee.

AVAILABILITY

Certified reconditioned Vitamix and Blendtec blenders are only available in the USA and CANADA at this time.

Refurbished Blendtec are available and ship free to the USA and Canada!

Most Refurbished Vitamix are ONLY available to the USA. There are Refurbished Vitamix Canada options available only to Canada. However if you can arrange a US address to ship to, call Vitamix at 1-800-848-2649 to place your order from an option below and give them our free shipping Vitamix promo code 06-007974.

REFURBISHED VITAMIX BLENDERS

♦ Note: Certified Reconditioned Vitamix packages are only available in the USA

Vitamix has so many models, they now have SEVEN Certified Reconditioned Packages ranging from $259 for their S30 Personal blender up to $519 for their current top of the line Next Generation with Programs (aka the Vitamix 750). 

However I don’t recommend the lowest level 2 speed refurbished Vitamix for $299 – this entry level Vitamix has limited features – no manual control, only low and high speeds.

For a few dollars more I suggest getting the popular Vitamix 5200 or other models included in the Certified Reconditioned Standard Package – which all have the SAME FEATURES/POWER.

Every reconditioned package comes with a 5 year Vitamix warranty AND you can also purchase an additional warranty for a total of 8 years, for an extra $75.

Most Refurbished Vitamix are ONLY available to the USA and Canada

Certified Reconditioned S30 – Only $249!

The S30 was Vitamix’s first PERSONAL BLENDER and is NOW in their refurbished Vitamix line. Taking the whole “personal blending” experience to an entirely new level (and saving $100 in the process ;), its shape and size are designed to fit the needs of one or two people (at most!), as this small blender is much in their entire line.

The Refurbished Vitamix S30 Features:

  • One peak horsepower motor, drawing seven amps/790 watts (which although the Vitamix S30 is quieter than larger Vitamix models, it is LESS POWERFUL).
  • Full manual control with 10 variable speeds + Pulse
  • Two container sizes—a 20-ounce Eastman Tritan BPA-free container that becomes an instant travel cup with flip-top lid and a 40-ounce container for small batches.
  • Perfectly sized patented tamper
  • Vitamix S30 recipe cookbook
  • S30 best practice guideline for consumers (but not to worry – your Vitamix S30 can absolutely handle tough jobs MUCH better than other Blend and Go types of blenders)
  • 1 Available Color: Black
  • 5-Year Warranty

Refurbished Vitamix 5200 StandardOnly $329

The refurbished Vitamix 5200 Standard blender models are the least expensive refurbished Vitamix model we recommend, with a total savings of $120 off the brand new price of $449. This includes the popular Vitamix 5200 blender – which sells at Costco for $375! – but it also may come as a CIA Professional Series, Creations II, Creations GC, Professional Series 200, Total Nutrition Center, or TurboBlend VS models – which are all the same Vitamix Standard blender just made for different retail outlets. Note price is more for certain color options.

The Refurbished Vitamix 5200 Standard Features:

  • 2-peak horsepower motor
  • Full manual 10 speed variable control with HIGH setting (no PULSE feature, but to pulse just set variable speed control and turn on and off quickly to equal 1 pulse)
  • Comes with the Tall Standard 64 oz Eastman Tritan BPA-free container
  • Perfectly sized patented tamper
  • Vitamix Getting Started Plus recipe cookbook
  • 5 Available Colors: Black, Brushed Stainless, Platinum, Red, White
  • 5-Year Warranty

Refurbished Vitamix 5300  – Only $359 (on sale for $269 for a LIMITED TIME!)

The refurbished Vitamix 5300 is the newest addition to the certified reconditioned options! This blender model is when you want a C-series blender but with a low profile 64oz compact jar with a 2.2 horsepower motor (the same as the G-Series Next Generation models!), with a total savings of $170 off the brand new price of $529. This is a great savings if you want these features without the Next Generation price tags. It’s exactly the same as the Vitamix Next Generation blenders (which are new $529 and refurbished $429), but without the pulse feature!

The Refurbished Vitamix 5300 Standard Features:

  • 2.2-peak horsepower motor
  • Full manual 10 speed variable control with HIGH setting (no PULSE feature, but to pulse just set variable speed control and turn on and off quickly to equal 1 pulse)
  • Comes with the Low Profile 64 oz Eastman Tritan BPA-free container
  • Perfectly sized patented tamper
  • Vitamix Getting Started Plus recipe cookbook
  • 2 Available Colors: Black & Red

Refurbished Vitamix Standard ProgramsOnly $379 

The refurbished Vitamix Standard Programs offers the MOST savings over any other refurbished Vitamix package, with a total of $220 off the brand new price of $599. We LOVE this option, because for only $50 more than the refurbished Vitamix Standard (like the Vitamix 5200), you can get a model that includes 3 automatic settings that shut off when done (yipeeeee!) – smoothies, hot soups, and frozen desserts. These are the types of recipes you will probably make most with your Vitamix high powered blender. Models include the Vitamix 6300 and Vitamix Professional Series 500,

The Refurbished Vitamix Standard with Programs Features:

  • 2-peak horsepower motor
  • 3 Pre-programmed automatic settings + 10 speed variable control + Pulse
  • Comes with the Tall Standard 64 oz Eastman Tritan BPA-free container
  • Perfectly sized patented tamper
  • Vitamix Savory recipe cookbook
  • 5 Available Colors: Black, Brushed Stainless, Platinum, Red, White
  • 5-Year Warranty

Refurbished Vitamix Next GenerationOnly $429 

Blender Babes was UBER EXCITED to discover Vitamix had added their new Next Generation models to the refurbished Vitamix line. Since these are some of their newest models, sometimes the refurbished options are out of stock, so if you are interested in getting these models, you will save up $130 off the new price of $529-$559 – total. Models include the Vitamix 7500, Professional Series 300, and Creations Elite. These newly designed next generation models feature a quieter yet more powerful 2.2-peak horsepower motor and the redesigned, shorter jar (i.e. fits underneat most kitchen cabinets!) and the controls are manual 10 speed variable (10 is the same as HIGH) with updated pulse feature.

The Refurbished Vitamix Next Generation Features:

  • 2.2-peak horsepower motor
  • Full manual 10 speed variable control + Pulse
  • Comes with the Low Profile 64 oz Eastman Tritan BPA-free container

Since we ARE the Blender Babes and we just HAD to test this baby out, we are now the proud owners of a refurbished Vitamix 750 and are fans of the 5 automatic settings -smoothies, frozen desserts, hot soups, purees, and self cleaning! Note: The brushed copper stainless is $50 more.

REFURBISHED BLENDTEC BLENDERS

Blendtec now offers 5 options for Certified Reconditioned Blenders!! Blender Babes recommends all of them, especially the least expensive Total Blendtec Classic for only $279.

Recently Blendtec added 4 new blenders to their certified reconditioned line-up.

They added 2 Designer Series options, the Designer 625 and Designer 725. (See my Comprehensive Blendtec Designer Comparison Review Here) and 1 Classic option, the Classic 575.

I am SO EXCITED they also have a limited supply of Blendtec Professional 800 blenders, which offers  significant savings for buyers that need massive noise reduction.

FINAL THOUGHTS

I have to say, I have tried nearly EVERY blender there is. Brand new prices of these “regular” blenders: KitchenAid $99, Breville $199-$299, Oster $50-$100 which have all either BROKEN or the motor BURNED OUT after 1-2 years!!

A refurbished Blendtec or refurbished Vitamix is only a little bit more! We’re not comparing apples to apples here either!! A Vitamix or Blendtec blender is going to last YEARS longer and can do MUCH MORE than any regular old blender (these machines are built to last 15-20 years on average).

Almost everyone can say they have spent more money on these regular blenders all together than the cost of one refurbished Vitamix or Blendtec! There really is no comparison!!

When comparing: 

  • the machinery
  • the motor
  • the versatility
  • the easy clean up
  • the comprehensive 3 – 5 year warranty

It just comes down to figuring out WHICH refurbished Vitamix or Blendtec model best suits you and your family’s needs. 🙂
