Vitamix Professional Series 750 Review

August 4, 2017

Guys, exclusive deal alert on theĀ Pro 750.Ā You can get one of these forĀ $399.95Ā (black or red; +$30 forĀ Brushed Stainless). They’re branded asĀ Certified Reconditioned, but I’mĀ 99% sure they’re brand new, untouched, mintĀ machines. My guess is that theĀ only reason they areĀ notĀ priced atĀ $599.95Ā is because they sat in a William & Sonoma warehouse and were returned to Vitamix HQ to make room for Ascent. Get one while you can! Read More »»
