Mine is the Vitamix 5200. I got the package deal from Costco because I also like to make Almond Flour and work with other dry grains.

If you don't care about the dry grinding, check out the costs on QVC. Also, Vitamix has their own website store.

Before buying mine, I did a lot of research, and decided that Vitamix and Blendtec were the best according to customer reviews on a bunch of sites, including cooking sites. But the one offered by Montel, I think it is called the "HealthMaster" is about $200 and it has a pretty big motor. I considered it also.

Go to Amazon.com and type in Healthmaster in their search window and you will see a bunch of different prices for a variety of Vitamix, Blendtec and Healthmaster machines.
