A few days ago, I sent an email to QVC inquiring about the soundproof device

they were using while making soup so you can hear the presenter when they

demonstrating other recipes on the Vitamix and they said they would check into

it and get back to me.

I will let you know when they respond.

I received this answer back from QVC today...it looks like maybe if more people

requested the soundproof device they may carry it.

Hello,

Thank you for emailing QVC.

Unfortunately the acrylic cover that you saw used on air to cover the

Vitamix was for on air demonstrations only. This helps to lower any

distrubance that may occur with the microphones on air. Since customer

satisfaction is our top priority here at QVC, we always appreciate any

suggestions or comments from our customers. I have forwarded your interest

in seeing something like this offered for the Vitamix to the appropriate

department. I hope this will be helpful for you.

It has been a pleasure assisting you and we look forward to serving you

again in the future!

Regards,

In one of the videos at vitamixlady.com, the guy suggests placing a folded towel

under the machine to help muff sound. I haven't tried it yet, but I plan to. I

would like to do something for ear protection. Having little ear plugs handy

might be a healthy practice.

Found the sound proof covers at this site. Scroll all the way to the bottom.

They're about $150.

A little more expensive than the last one suggested but I like the idea of the

flip top port and that it fits most sizes...now to save the money for same!!!

While I agree that the Vitamix is a bit noisy, but to me it is not noisy enough to invest another $200 in. These are much cheaper http://www.amazon.com/Apothecary-Products-Flents-Please-50-Pair/dp/B001J4HB1C/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8 & qid=1328308603 & sr=8-2 if you have to have ear protection.

To reduce noise from the Vitamix, you can put the base on a computer mousepad or

folded dish towel. I just leave the room, lol.

I LOVE these ear plugs:http://www.amazon.com/Macks-Ear-Seals-Earplugs-1pr/dp/B000GCI9CIWhen I go shooting at the range, I used to use the foam kind that you mentioned Tom, but they are so hard to get in and out that I was THRILLED to find the Mack's Ear Seals. They are re-useable and SO EASY to push in and out!!!

I think this is actually the same thing; the other one had a flip top as well.

I'm not sure from either description if they will work with the 5200, though.

It looks like it's been designed for the commercial series blenders.

You could try the kind of ear protection people use for target shooting.

Or those rubber ear plugs.

I would be careful about the towel thing, it might overheat.On Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 6:09 PM, apricot855 <apricot043@...> wrote:

I don't need the cover just to protect my ears it is to reduce the noise factor

because I live in a condo and don't want the neighbors complaining as fine would

be more than the $200 cost of the cover.
