First post but not sure if good deal. RRP $995. Cheapest is ~$740 on Peters of Kensington or Kitchenwarehouse.
Was looking at buying one for a couple months and pulled trigger.
Think this is decent price considering the cheaper alternative Optimum 9200A that I was also looking at is already $479.
Thanks for the tip!
People really spend this much money on a blender?
I just paid $99 for the Electrolux one and received a lot of eye-rolling for spending that much!
If you use a blender several times a week it's probably a solid investment. It will last you a decade.
Yes, confirm we use a blender 6 days a week and the old cheapo blew up after a year.
My $99 one came with a 5 year warranty.
But I do agree, cheap blenders aren't worth it. They can't blend ice properly and they overheat very quickly.
Once you give one of these blenders a go, you'll never go back!
Anyone who buys one of these is a fool. Aldi sells a similar industrial strength one for $99, and you can find similar ones on Aliexpress at about $100. Same thing.
I've got 3 blenders, the vitamix, an aldi, and one OEM unnammable from Aliexpress for $100. ALL of them have lasted for 3-4 years now.
Apart from the name, not one difference. That's why, take it from me, you're a fool if you buy one at this price.
Take it from the person with three $100 blenders, you're a fool if you buy one $685 blender

this would be better, purchase with 10%+ off giftcard and its under $800.
the 300 series came out in 2014.. the 5200 came out in 2012 ? i think..
300 made alot of improvements. I wouldn't buy 5200 @ this price.
