Easy Install, Well Worth it
By Y. Herrera
We have an old Vitamix blender in our Mexican restaurant that recently started acting up. Generally, our first instinct is to replace these sort of "broken" appliances, but I've been on a DIY/Fixing things kick lately, so I took a look to see what I could do. I saw the old drive socket's "teeth" had just worn down and googled the part. Sure enough, here it was on Amazon, and the piece seemed easy to replace. Once received, things were simply enough. Take off the rubber part covering the old socket, line it up to get at the screw, unscrew it, and then pop it off. Then, simply put in the new socket, screw it in, back off 1/4 turn, replace the rubber mat, and you're good to go. A new Vitamix blender would have cost hundreds of dollars. I was able to replace the worn part and put the blender back in service for less than $20. From what I understand, this socket works with a wide range of Vitamix products - ours was the VM0100. So if you have a Vitamix blender on the fritz, PL EASE do yourself a favor and check the old drive socket before buying a whole new blender. You might save yourself hundreds of dollars like I did!

It worked!
By RACHEL J. HILL
I am so happy. It repaired my vita-mix stripped socket! I followed the instructions included and I'm back in business using my machine daily! It was easy. The repair took 10 minutes - much less time than sending it in for repair.

Great product!
By mary lou
Wow, I thought I'd have to buy a new VitaMix when mine, after almost 14 years of using everyday, stop working. I was looking for a new one when I found this socket kit and bought it to try. So easy! I followed the instructions and my VitaMix is working again, like a new one. Love it!
