Chris Freytag Health Blender Travel Mug

I just purchase the Health Blender from QVC. Love it, except that I cannot get the top off of the Travel Mug. I've tried everything short of dynamite! I tried the hint given in the manual of soaking in hot soapy water. Didn't work! My husband can't even get it off and he's no ninety-pound weakling! I hate to have to send the whole blender back to QVC as an unsatisfactory product, but I want to use the travel mug.
Any suggestions? Or can you send me a new mug?
HELP!

My husband and I had the same problem until I asked him to try one more time. Instead of righty tighty it's righty loosy- like the manual says. Good Luck.

I had this same problem, and after several minutes of straining/making faces that terrified my wife and kids, I broke down and reached for the manual. Having finally prevailed, I offer a two-part solution:

1. Hidden in the manual is a key fact--the lid is threaded BACKWARDS. To open the lid, one must turn CLOCKWISE.
2. Considering that I had just spent several minutes making a tight lid even tighter, a special tool was called for. I have something called a "Monster Grip" that consists of a long rubber strap attached to a sturdy plastic handle. Using that tool, carefully, so as to avoid breaking the handle, I was able to open the lid, which was still quite tight through the first half-turn.

Vitamix 5000 Why does it run only on high ?

It very likely needs a new pot switch. That is the rotary one that varies the speed. Purchase through your local Vitamix service agent in your country.

I followed the link to purchase a rubber gasket for my blender. The item is $2, weighs less than an ounce, but the shipping charges are over $10 from Utah to California. Something wrong here.

I called the place.. and the lady sold me 2 Gaskets.. for $2 and only charged me $4 for shipping.. Much better rate.. We love our smoothie machine.. but when you cant find decent replacement parts.. its really dis-heartning.
