Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series $ 579.21

is this a good deal? anyone else?

Bit cheaper than what i got my 3500 for i paid 677 taxes in plus got18 back from ebates

Just be careful with buying on Amazon - they have multiple listings for usually the same product that's sold by Amazon with different prices and I've read a few reviews before where some of them are actually US models so the warranty doesn't work in Canada?

Not sure if true but that's what I've seen.

Case and point for the Ascent 2300:

Isn't the container a different type? The first being the low profile one.

Both the same container. The Ascent series only comes with the low profile 64oz container

Price dropped to $569.21

I'm not saying it's not a hot deal. I'm just surprised so many people have many-hundred-dollar blenders.

This is a forum for people who wanna save a few bucks, whether it’s low or high end items....
Might not be a deal for you but this was a pretty good deal for this top of the line Vitamix model.

Deal dead =(

Deal is back right now at $571.80

Nope, a common misconception. This is a deal hunting site.

I guarantee if somebody posted a deal about 25% percent off a Porsche car, it might be the most popular thread ever.

People want stuff and don't want to pay full price because full price is for suckers.

The other side of this is: sometimes paying for quality is worth it. There is a reason people love Vitamix, they are the industry standard.

The quality is too high!

I've been waiting for my decade-old Vitamix to break down so I can justify a new one with pulse and presets, but it just keeps chugging along!

Same here. I'm so tempted by this deal but we still have our original white Vitamix that we bought from Costco around 2007-2008, still as good as when we got it.
