Vitamix performs a meticulous, 17-point inspection to ensure that every Certified Reconditioned blender that leaves our warehouse will deliver the same performance and longevity that you’ve come to expect from Vitamix. Not just any blender can earn this title. Our Certified Reconditioned machines have been hand-selected for their like-new appearance and performance. Once a machine has been reconditioned, it goes through two additional quality control inspections before being packaged and shipped. Every Certified Reconditioned machine comes with a brand new cookbook package, container shell, two-part lid, and tamper. Any component that does not pass inspection is replaced with a brand new part, but if a part cannot be replaced, the entire unit is recycled. Our strict certification standards have been developed to give you peace of mind and ensure that you’ll enjoy your machine for years to come.
