Is this the same as the one sold on the Vitamix website for $639.00?

Based on my comparisons with friends who purchased ones from Vitamix & Williams Sonoma this is the same one.

Yes, this the same one. My wife is the one who did the research and found this model listed here on Amazon for a better price than other retailers. I'm very happy with it so far.

I believe the model is the same, but the color is different. The stainless steel color is more expensive on the vitamix website. Shipping is also faster with amazon.

I don't know...we have not used a Vitamix. All we can say is that we are not disappointed by this appliance. From what most reviews say, the two manufacturers make blenders of similar quality and performance.That being said, I'm pretty sure this model is considerably smaller (shorter) than a typical Vitamix, and taking up less space on the counter is a plus. Also, this model is much lighter than I expected....our KitchenAid food processor, while much less powerful (fewer watts) is much heavier. I think this is also a plus -- it shows that you can have power without the added weight. I don't know how much a comparable Vitamix weighs.... I don't know...we have not used a Vitamix.

I'm pretty sure they are both the same, just from two different vendors. I've had mine for quite a while and love it!

To be quite honest, I believe they're the exact same thing. I couldn't tell the difference between the two. Whichever is the cheaper is the one I would get at the time since the shelf life was the same. Let me know if you have any further questions. D. Smith

I'm guessing it's marked up on the website. The one I have is real and works very well. I also believe this is a brand I've seen at mall kiosks for $150-$200.

I don't actually know for sure. Ours is an older one and there was no problem. Call their 800number or go online: 800.848.2649 OR service@vitamix.com

Sorry, don't know. Please go to Vitamix.com and speak to one of their reps.

Not as good as a vitamix ?.The Ninja is superior to the vitamix. The vitamix is good. but it way over priced. I have had a vitamix die on me after 4 months as well so I do not think the long term quality is there. The Ninja gets daily use, maybe 2 - 3x and I have had it over a year w/o a problem. I might try a vitamix again, but at this point, the Ninja does everything expected and I am not paying a premium for their marketing.

I wouldn't know the difference. I have the 6300 and love it. Here's what their website says about it: https://www.vitamix.com/shop/6300.aspxI have never heard of the next and newest model, the 7500, but here's the web info: https://www.vitamix.com/shop/7500.aspxGood luck!

I wish I knew the answer to your question. The container replacement container looked like the one I already had and it looks like I just lucked out. If you call Vitamix, they should be able to tell you the right one to get.

I ordered the vitamix with the 64oz container and the 32 oz separately. It comes with it's own tamper.

From what I have seen, the Vitamix and Blendtec are not interchangeable. Sorry.

Actually, the motor in this unit is more powerful than the Vitamix. I think only company that has more powerful motor is Blendtec. But you'll be shelling out at least $300 more. And this unit goes up to 24000 rpm which is same as Blendtec. Same speed... think...

Yes, that is why I bought one. Go to http://www.vitashowercorp.com for info.

I am curious, too. The price is $13 more, for what seems like the identical product.

The one at Costco say yes, though may be a different model. Still only ~$650
