WARRANTY

Full 5-Year Machine Warranty

1. 

PRODUCT REGISTRATION.

Vita-Mix® Corporation (“Vitamix”) strongly encourages you to register your purchase. You can register 

online at vitamix.com/warranty; or by calling our Customer Service Department at 1.800.848.2649 

or 1.440.235.4840. Failure to register your product purchase will not diminish your warranty rights. 

However, registering your purchase will allow Vitamix to better serve you with any of your customer 

service needs.

2. 

WHO CAN SEEK WARRANTY COVERAGE. 

This Warranty is extended by Vitamix to the owner of this Machine for personal household use only.  

This Warranty does not apply to products used for commercial, rental or re-sale purposes. Should 

ownership of the machine change during the 5-year period, please update the Machine’s owner 

information at vitamix.com/warranty.

3. 

WHAT IS COVERED.

Vitamix warrants to the owner that if this Machine 

(a “Machine” consists of a motor blender base and 

any containers purchased together) 

fails within 5 years from the date of purchase due to a defect in 

material or workmanship or as a result of normal wear and tear from ordinary household use, Vitamix 

will, within 30 days of receipt of the returned product, repair the failed Machine or component part of 

the Machine free of charge.
If, in Vitamix’s sole discretion, the failed Machine or component part of the Machine cannot be repaired, 

Vitamix will elect to either (A) replace the Machine free of charge or (B) refund the full purchase price to 

the owner, unless Vitamix receives prior written notice of the owner’s preference. 

4. 

WHAT IS NOT COVERED.

This Warranty does not apply to Machines that have been used commercially or in non-household 

applications. This Warranty does not cover cosmetic changes that do not affect performance, such as 

discoloration or the effects of the use of abrasives or cleaners or food build up. This Warranty is only 

valid if the Machine is used and maintained in accordance with the instructions, warnings and safeguards 

contained in the owner’s manual.
Vitamix will not be responsible for the cost of any unauthorized warranty repairs. 

REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR REFUND OF THE PURCHASE PRICE ARE THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF 

PURCHASER AND THE SOLE LIABILITY OF VITAMIX UNDER THIS WARRANTY. NO EMPLOYEE OR 

REPRESENTATIVE OF VITAMIX IS AUTHORIZED TO MAKE ANY ADDITIONAL WARRANTY OR ANY  

MODIFICATION TO THIS WARRANTY WHICH MAY BE BINDING UPON VITAMIX. ACCORDINGLY, 

PURCHASER SHOULD NOT RELY UPON ANY ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS MADE BY ANY EMPLOYEE 

OR REPRESENTATIVE OF VITAMIX. IN NO EVENT, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, INDEMNITY, 

WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, SHALL VITAMIX 

BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, 

WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE.

Some states do not allow limits on warranties. In such states, the above limitations may not apply to you. 
Outside the U.S.A. and Canada, other warranties may apply.

5.

  WHAT VOIDS THIS WARRANTY.

Abuse, misuse, negligent use, alteration of the Machine, exposure to abnormal or extreme conditions, or 
failure to follow the operating instructions will void this Warranty.
The Warranty is also void if repairs to the Machine or any component part of the Machine are performed 
by someone other than either Vitamix or an authorized Vitamix Service Provider or if any component 
part of a Machine subject to this Warranty is used in combination with a motor base, container, or any 
other part or accessory that is not expressly authorized by Vitamix.

6.

  HOW TO OBTAIN RETURN AUTHORIZATION UNDER THIS WARRANTY.
