Vitamix 36019 36019-1 Vita-Mix Quiet One Blender 48 oz, Black

This is an excellent buy. I was afraid the blender wouldn’t be the right one, with the wrong electric current and the wrong plug for Scotland (U.S. American company).So I wrote the seller to ask (and after I had already ordered), being afraid that I had made a very bad and expensive mistake.The seller answers immediately, even within minutes, and reassured me that the blender would be equipped up to proper code for the U.K. and Scotland. This small company is also located in London.So no worries. This place obviously knows what they are doing because they sent the right item.Even though refurbished, it works like new and was half the price!The blender works perfectly, does whatever you need blended and done efficiently, even without all the snick-snack and various containers that the other models the Vitamix company offers.You can’t get this machine anywhere for your home (that I know of!), it’s industrial quality (used commercially in cafés and restaurants!)But the reason why it’s all so worthwhile with this blender, is because it’s the quietest of all the Vitamix blenders – maybe even the quietest of all the most powerful blenders in the world, and offers only what you need in a small compact version, not taking up your whole kitchen.It’s a big, powerful grand machine that mixes, grinds, purées and blends anything and everything, and for which Vitamix is famous the world over!However this “quiet” one is the best because it’s not as loud as all the others, while still doing its job.As you can tell, I’m very enthusiastic about this product.
