Their 10-year-old 7500 no longer reaches full power and stops getting stronger around speed 6, even with only water; they had smelled something electrical under load months earlier and hoped it would last longer than 10 years.

After about 8 years of near-daily use their 7500 weakened, needing help to blend and then stalling with a burning smell on a dates and nuts dessert.
Their roughly 15-year-old 7500 now runs only at maximum speed and the dial no longer changes it, likely a bad potentiometer.
After about seven years their Vitamix 7500 started smoking with toxic fumes while blending greens with coconut water; Vitamix called it normal use, and it will be their last Vitamix.
Their out-of-warranty 7500's lights come on but the motor won't run.
Their 7500 has the same start/stop switch failure now that the warranty is over.
Believes theirs is a 7500 with worn motor brushes; replacement brush kits are obsolete and Vitamix only offers a whole new motor.
Calls the 7500 life changing after a month, though the variable speed sometimes sticks at 1 when switched on and Vitamix issued an RMA.
Their 7500 start/stop switch stopped working after a few months while the on/off, pulse and speed dial still work.
Their 7500 motor only stays on for about a second regardless of speed or switch used.
Says the 7500 speed control eventually wears out, becoming jumpy or stuck on high, and the switch needs replacing.
Their 7500 stopped engaging and the drive socket cannot be removed even after taking out the set screw.
Their off-warranty 7500 stank like burning plastic, which they traced to the blade bearing, and a third-party replacement blade no longer breaks up frozen bananas.
Reconditioned 7500 arrived with a variable speed dial that had no effect on blade speed, and Vitamix support was slow before replacing it.
