Vitamix blenders should last 10 years or more with proper care. It's not uncommon to find a Vitamix from the 1970's still working in grandma's kitchen. If something does go wrong, most Vitamix blenders have a warranty between 5-10 years, allowing you to send it back in for repair. Vitamix has been privately operated by the Barnard family since 1921 and based in Olmsted Township, Ohio.
