Vita-Mix does not distribute the 4500 outside USA + Canada, only the 5000
line for which they’ll honor the warranty only through their regional distributor
in your country. For your protection we don’t sell Vita-Mixes to any customer
living abroad.
Overseas customers, please be aware that if you buy from any website other than the authorized regional distributor for your country, you will have no warranty (5 years on 4500 and 7 years on 5000). |
|
| Power Consumption | 1380w for all models – most blenders are 350w, so the Vita-Mix is 4 times more powerful than a household blender | ||
| Motor Capacity | Heavy-duty 11.5 amp, 2+ peak horsepower motor engineered for everyday use, year after year – far more powerful motor than the 1hp 3amp of L’Equip blender | ||
|
Motor Speed in RPM (revolutions per minute) |
Max 37,500 rpm
– K-Tec is only 28,000 and L’Equip only 20,000; Vita-Mix is so fast, it
can both cook warm soup and freeze ice cream, see 34
Ways to Lose Weight.
When you invest in a High Speed Blender, you naturally want the HIGHEST SPEED BLENDER. These RPM figures prove that Vita-mix is the fastest Blender on earth. To get an idea of its speed, compare centrifugal ejection juicers at 7,000 rpm. Vita-Mix is five times faster. |
||
| Reliable Motor Built for Long Life | Thermally protected motor prevents burnout – if overheated, it stops until the motor cools down. Dan writes: "this happened to us a couple of times when we really overworked it." No need to keep fuses in stock because there's no fuse to blow. | ||
| Patented Blade Design | All Vita-Mix share the same high-performance motor and patented 4-prong blade (K-Tec only has 2-prong); stainless steel enclosed blade assembly with sealed ball bearings | ||
| Power Control | Main on/off power switch in front – easy-to-clean front panel has moisture shielded switches | ||
| Blending Speeds | 2-speed – 1 low/high switch | 1 low/high switch, 1 variable speed dial – when you flip the switch to high the variable switch is no longer active | |
| User Control | You control the power + speed. The flip-switch allows you to blend and stop with each unique batch, as you see it reaching the texture you want. K-Tec has a computer panel I don't like because its blending cycles are pre-timed with automatic shut-off – as Jill writes in Compare Blenders, she could never figure it out! | ||
| Single-piece Break Resistant Polycarbonate Container | Polycarbonate is FDA approved and extremely hygienic, food washes off easily from its surface. All 3 models grind grains and seeds in this container, e.g. 1/4 to 1/2 cup flax seed to a powder. I see no need for the separate grain container of the Super 5000. Personally I prefer a $12 coffee grinder for seeds like sesame and flax (linseed) and a flour mill for grains. | ||
| Container Size | 64 ounces (second carafe in Super 5000 is same size). All 3 models blend to smooth consistency whether container is full or nearly empty – 4oz blends to same high quality as 64oz. L'Equip blender is a small 52 oz. K-Tec can't blend small quantities because its blades are too high. | ||
| Container Lid | Flexible 2-piece thermoplastic lid has a removable plug for adding ingredients while blending | ||
| Rubber Insulator between Container and Base | Makes the Vita-Mix quieter than the K-Tec which does not have this | ||
Extras Included
 |
1 Tamper to push foods into blender, 94-page Recipe book with nearly 200 recipes, separate Owner’s Manual | Same as Super 5000 but without Whole Grains cookbook | 1 Tamper, Whole Food recipes cookbook, Getting Started cookbook, Whole Grains cookbook, Quickstart Instructional Video |
| Reliability | Built to last a lifetime, you can see the rugged construction. Durable components ensure trustworthy performance. | ||
