STAINLESS STEEL JAR? I would LOVE to buy a vitamix, but I do not want a plastic jar. Yes, vitamix has tried to meet consumer demand by making a jar that is BPA-free, but in a few years who knows what poisons will be discovered in BPA-free plastics. I contacted vitamix and they said they can't offer glass as it could break. They say STAINLESS STEEL would be more expensive. I am willing to pay the extra money for a stainless steel jar. I know a number of people who would also be willing to pay extra for a non-plastic jar. VITAMIX, what needs to happen for you to offer a non-plastic jar? (well, actually multiple since I want the grain jar as well)

If you don't mind buying used (many people rarely used theirs), you can find the 3600 Vitamix model on ebay.  some people never or rarely used theirs.  I'm 34 and they were maid before I was born.  I still use my dad's and it works like the day they brought it home.  Good luck!

I've considered that, but vitamix doesn't sell the parts to old blenders anymore and I don't want to spend $200 on a blender and have it not work.
