[Guest guest]

Yes, it is half plus a $15 service charge the first month then the other half divided between the second and third month's payments.You can get the 3-payment plan for a refurbished OR a new Vitamix...

-- Re: Question

I DO use it to chop veggies all of the time. It is only when the chopped veggies must LOOK pretty, that it isn't the best tool in the kitchen. Whenever I make Chili I chop onion, green pepper, celery, and carrots. My Chili is chock full of veggies and it never matters what they look like. The slow speed does a GREAT job with carrots - I love to make carrot salad with the VM. I make the bulk of my salsa's with the Vitamix then if I want it chunkier use my chopper on a few slices of tomatoes to add in.

I use the slow speed to chop veggies to put on top of salads - it doesn't look pretty, but I can add so much more veggies when it is as easy as chopping them in the Vitamix - I would just skip the veggies all together if I had to chop them by hand or with my chopper (the VM is much easier to clean than the chopper and I only get it out as a last resort).

I use the slow speed to scramble eggs and to chop veggies at the same time that I am scrambling eggs to make a veggie omelette or quiche (again, it doesn't matter what the veggies look like in that omelette or quiche).

I use the slow speeds to add texture back into a soup where I heated the broth on high, but lowered the speed to add things like cooked chicken (the chicken gets shredded beautifully for the soup). I do the same thing with my cold green soups in the summer - I make a cold veggie soup base, then add in some coarsely cut up cucumber or celery or pepper or mushroom, etc. to get some crunchy texture in that soup.

I also use the slow speeds to make batters like cake, pancake, muffins, and brownie mix.

I use the slow speeds to pop air bubbles out of drinks or soups that get too "frothy".

When I use protein powder, I use the slow speeds to stir it in after the rest of the smoothie has been made.

If vitamix 5200 doesn't chop veggies nice then what is the difference between that version and 4500 version to make it worth the price?
