Is this the recalled product with faulty cannister/blade?

All Vitamix resellers were required to ship their units back to the company when they were recalled, back in the summer of 2013. The faulty components were replaced and the serial numbers changed to reflect the update before shipping back to the resellers. There shouldn't be any faulty units in the marketplace. I purchased mine in January and have used it daily since with absolutely no problems.

I haven't heard about a recall. I think we should call the company directly and ask if it is. Thanks for bringing it up.

Is the recall you are referring to in response to those black specs that come out into your blend? Or is that something completely different and unrelated? Does this blender have that black spec problem? I really want a vitamix but that is a deal breaker for me with my gastroparesis and weak stomach. Thanks in advance for your help! Take care and be well. Happy Holidays to you!

I didn't purchase mine til Jan. 2014 so I think I am good. Google it and it will give you dates.

mine is the newer version. I purchashed it thru Amazon. im pretty sure you won't be able to get the recalled blade thru any supplier or dealer now.

I don't know, mine has never lasted long enough to dull the blades. I've gone through two of them thus far. Probably on the waring site.

The "Limited Warranty" is for one (1) year to be free from defects in materials and workmanship. The booklet stating the warranty includes an 800 phone number and advises you to keep your sales receipt as proof of purchase date. Shipping costs for repairs are your responsibility. I have had no problems with mine. I have been pleased with the durability of the blades. I use my food processor several times a week, including making homemade peanut butter from roasted peanuts. I give it a tough workout and have been pleased.

Tiny bits of metal will begin to appear as the can opener cutting knife begins to wear. This indicates that the can opener is nearing the end of its useful life even though the motor and other parts work fine. Unfortunately AFAIK the cutting blade is not removable nor replaceable, nor cleanable for that matter. Poor design choice.

I have wear marks at the joints and the lock, and the finish is worn off on the bottom half of the blade, but the handle (triangle) is basically perfect still. That is normal wear and tear (I use mine pretty hard and often). If it is worse than that you may have a lemon, but these are mil-spec(built to very high standards) so I doubt it. BTW, mine is stamped ames tru-temper.

Hello - Yes, I researched and saw the Recall date: April 01, 2014. I recently purchased my AM05 after the recall was resolved but I was still concerned so I checked my AM05 serial number at Dyson's recall website https://www.dysonrecall.com/

Hi Kathryn. To me, it sounds like the seal in your jar is starting to go bad. I have a Blendtec HP3A that developed a leaky jar. After about six months of normal use the blade stopped spinning smoothly by hand; it felt slightly ratchety but it still blended just fine. Next, it started to leak a very small amount of dark liquid from the bottom of the jar around the shaft. Then, it leaked more. Right after the one year warranty expired, the seal around the shaft smoked and disintegrated while grinding grain. Now the jar is completely unusable. Blendtec pretty much said 'tough luck, would you like to buy our new (even more over-priced) jar with a 4" blade?' I asked if they had improved the seal, but the Blendtec customer rep. didn't know so she gave me the "sonically welded blade with a lifetime warranty" sales pitch. I have been without a blender for almost a year and I'll have to fork out more money for a replacement jar because I did not recognize the first symptoms of a seal failure. So, learn from my mistake and start complaining to Swindletec about their over-priced, disposable jar with its poor quality seal while it is still under warranty.

I am not aware of any recalls. The company website is www.fissler.com and has quite a bit of information. I used mine last week for the first time and it worked really well. It was much quicker than my old pressure cooker from the 90's. I would suggest reviewing the you tube videos as how to use as this was beneficial to me in addition to reading the instructions.

I really don't know. Would guess a short warranty. The reconditioned edger I received was virtually new and have had zero problems.

My husband says his is the old one. But, I bought it last year, before the recall, though. You should contact Gerber to see if they've switched it. I'm sorry I couldn't help!

I haven't been informed of a recall. I gave the one I bought as a gift and have used it a few times. Seems to be fine

Same here. It worked fine for a while, and suddenly, the blade wouldn't go back down. Can't figure it out.

I wish I could help, but I've never had a problem with the blade cracking. Perhaps, there was a flaw in the one you had.

That is true! The same happened to me twice so I stopped using it as a slicer. Such a shame cause it was great. Cusinart replaced it both times but I stopped slicingever since :( happy to know it's not just me :)

yes. the problem you are experiencing is what i experienced. the trouble shooting recommended getting new blade for the machine. I did that and that did not help at all. I think it is defected. I ended up throwing mine out because i was pass warranty and i could not deal with the loud noise and intense vibrations. If yours is still under warranty, then use it.

Jose, I will be happy to send you mine for free. Blades AND shaver. Only used 2 times and thoroughly disinfected after those uses. I am glad that this trimmer has worked out for you. It is my worst Amazon purchase in 12 years! I am serious about sending them to you free. If you can figure out how we can exchange info I will even pay for the stamp. Maybe we can do something with the wishlist feature for exchanging addresses.
