What is difference between Fissler Vitaquick and Vitavit 6.3 qt models
1725128
I remember wrestling with the same question, and now see that the only obvious difference is a dial on the Vitavit that helps you select low pressure (fish and vegetables) or high (everything else). Also, that knob pops out to a yellow-green-red configuration to let you know if the pressure has been achieved or needs to be lowered. I wonder if they're phasing out the Vitavit; I could only find it on the Williams-Sonoma website. They've got a good video tutorial there on it that will help show you that difference. The other features seem to be the same, including the very nice locking handle mechanism. But that elongating knob differs from the Vitaquick in that the Vitaquick doesn't have different settings. It just has four rings on the knob that go from blue to white to blue and then white again, depending on whether you're at adequate pressure or need to keep raising it for each setting. I've been using the Vitaquick just fine this way. If you end up getting a Vitavit, let me know how it works. Here's the link to the product as sold and demonstrated by WS (video thumbnail at bottom), which they also demonstrate on YouTube.

I just bought a Fissler Vitaquick but it is a Christmas gift for my daughter. I chose this one because of an article in one of my cooking magazines that one of the writers & cooks of the magazine said about it from her own personal use. So, as of yet I don't know from personal experience how it will be but she really talked it up. I don't know what a Vitavit is. Sorry I'm not more help. Good Luck with it. The Vitaquick I purchased says NEW Easy close, Safe lock, Easy clean and it has a Large Cook indicator with gentle & speed setting.

It looks like the vitavit is the new line of pressure cookers from fissler. The vitavit comfort works essentially the same way as the vitaquik except it has green/yellow/red pressure indicators instead of white lines. The vitavit premium has a more ergonomic handle as well as a 'no pressure' mode.Personally, I love my vitaquick. I've had it for about a year and I use it pretty much every day and it's still going strong.

First of all, I have never owned a Vitamix, so I do not know its performance and reliability, here are the reasons I like Blentec more than Vitamix. 1. The appearance of the machine design of Blendtec is much better than Vitamix, the Blendtec has touch buttons that no only simplify the operations but also make it looking COOL! 2. Based on web site information for both brands, Blendtec has 8 years warranty, Vitamix has only 7 yrs. 3. If we compare their models at the same level, normally Blendtec is cheaper than Vitamix. 4. This is only for Blendtec. After using it for several months, we like it a lot, very powerful and easy to use, the machine is built with high quality material, and even the juice container has 3 yrs warranty, so good to not to have it. Hope this will help your decision.

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.

It is the older one....I had it for three years. I have been looking at the new one...but still a little scared of the service dept.I would love the vita mix....but it is out of my range. I may eat my words and try the elite... I miss my shakes! I have found some good reviews....not many...but a few

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!

The DVT3000 and -3200 look identical, and the user manual lumps all of the 3000 series together. So the user interface is identical in both. I suspect the only difference in the 3200, which is no longer listed on Philips' site, is the Dragon software. I have not used my 3000 a lot, but it does a pretty good job picking up sound - the playback is about as clear as your ear hears the original if there is not a lot of background noise, such as in a restaurant. I have recorded my mom with the 3000 on the table in front of us, and the clarity is very good. My wife's boss uses one for dictation at work, and it works great for that. If there are any technical differences in specs between the 3000 and 3200, I doubt you could tell the difference when using it.

I have three friends who use the vitamix. I have used it twice when at one friend's home. The vitamix made equally good smoothies and juices. I think the Blentec may have done a more effients jobs of pulverizing things like celery and flax, though I only tried it once. The blendtec does so much more than Vitamix... I have blended grains, made dough, made batter, hummis, and sauces. Blentec is better for all of this.The Vitamix noise was LOUDER! I like the way the Blendtec has cycles that run on it's own. I love the way the inside is smooth-easier to clean. It is also shorter, so it fits UNDER my upper cabinets. (^.^) buy the Blendtec! I have three friends who use the vitamix.

Yes, the Vitamix 7500 (which is a Next Gen), the Pro 300, and the Creations Elite are all the same machine, but they come with different cookbooks, and the Creations Elite comes with a 48 oz carafe instead of the 64 (see https://secure.vitamix.com/Certified-Reconditioned-Next-Generation.aspx?COUPON=06-007021). The 750 Pro is different - it has added presets. A helpful site: http://joyofblending.com/which-vitamix-to-buy/

May be that Vitamix made special deal with Whole Foods. Purchased the 6300 for $499 at Costco this last weekend. The 6300 runs for $650 from Vitamix's web site. Someone asked about the price difference. The demonstrator said that Vitamix makes special offers to companies. The demonstrations are great as you have more options than basic black. Really happy when I registered my machine as Vitamix offered me my choice of several bonus items. I could get extra three years on warranty OR a cook book OR get dry food blender jar for $50 (rather than list $150).

can't really say about the new one's...but I do own two older models, one about twelve years old and the other about five to six years old. and both of them have really nice (recessed inside the box) which lets out all the water with out having to tip your cooler...for some unknown reason to me, you can buy the 70 qt. cheaper than the 52 qt. would I buy another? 100% yes, I am looking for one right now

I own both and the are essentially identical except in one aspect. They are the same size and capacity and made with the same parts and electronic controls. This difference is that the 700, that I bought 9 years ago, included a special KF antimicrobial filter in it that is not mentioned in the new 220. It obviously cut the mfr's cost but has no impact on the softening ability of the unit that I've now owned a few months, running flawlessly. Very easy to install and set-up so long as you provide the in and out plumbing.

I have a Vitamix and a Nutri-Bullet, The Nutri-Bullet smoothies are almost as smooth as the ones from the Vitamix.However the vita mix will do a lot more, like make soup, blend dough for pizza and a list of other things the Nutri-Bullet won't do. But the Vitamix is alot more expensive than the Nutri-Bullet, so if what you want to do is make smothies go with the bullet, if you want to do other things then the Vitamix is a good investment. FYI, Qvc.com has the Vitamix on easy payments.

i am disappointed to hear all of this about leaking from a 400.00 appliance. I have been shopping for a powerful blender and was leaning towards the Blendtec but now am thinking the Vitamix may be the way to go.

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.

According to Fissler's operating manuals, max. operating pressure for Euro Vitaquicks is 11.6psi (80kPa), and America's version is 8.7psi (60kPa). You can download the manuals at http://www.hippressurecooking.com/?s=fissler+vitaquick&submit;=SearchIn actual use, you can the 15psi recipe timings with the lower psi American version.

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