If i buy it I have 10 years warrinty fron vitamix?
Hi there. This was obtained from Amazon inventory. Since we’re not the original reseller, we can’t guarantee the manufacturer will honor the warranty so we add a Woot! warranty.
TL;DR- Higher end Vitamix Blender for the price of a Discounted mid-tier Vitamix blender (Cyber Monday Prices), with less compatible accessories of legacy products. You have to buy the containers that offers self-detect technology such as the food processor attachment.
Long Answer:
To be honest, thats a really good price for an A3300 Ascent series. However there are some things you should account for:
• This is the Ascent series, meaning this is their higher end versions of the Vitamix Blenders; typically priced at ~$650-$700
• This is Vitamix’s semi-new models where it’s superseded by the Ascent X series. So if you want the latest and greatest, look for the Ascent X versions.
• These versions of Vitamix have Self-Detect technology which is unique to the Ascent Series. From what I found, these models have compatible parts only to the Venturist and Ascent Series. Legacy series such as: Standard, Explorian, and Propel containers will not work on these models.

• Open Box is really up to you if you want to get it. $280 is a really good price for these, but Warranty is a major factor since Vitamix offers 10 year warranties for these type of Blenders. Fortunately Woot offers their own warranty, so its up to you.
• Your direct comparison for prices is the Propel 510 thats currently $279.99 on Amazon.
• Now do you need the highest end blender? No…. But pulling the trigger for this is good if $300 was already your budget. I highly encourage you check Vitamix refurbished section on their website even though this Woot trounces it on pricing. Thats just my opinion. Hopefully the warranty still applies. I would totally buy this if it was brand new, and I didn’t already have the Propel 510 from yesterday’s deal.
