Extra VitaMix Blender Jugs #140

Open nelsonic opened 3 years ago

nelsonic commented 3 years ago

We are lucky enough to have a VitaMix TNC Blender @home and it's great!

The issue is that when one person is making a smoothie (filling the jug with ingredients, blending and washing the jug), nobody else can be using it so it creates a bottleneck. 1 minute of actual blend time is an acceptable wait. But measuring ingredients and washing the jug takes 10 minutes so it's likely to create a bottlneck.

I'm thinking of ordering a one (or more) spare jugs so that people can prepare their smoothies/soups in parallel.

Todo

[ ] Decide how many jugs we need.
[ ] Order them.
[ ] Build storage space for however many jugs we decide

I think this is a fantastic idea.

I think we would need two on rotation, but would be a little more comfortable with three (the original plus 2 others). NOTE: These are not machine washable, so I would suggest we put two on rotation first to make sure people use and immediately wash them, adjust the system and then add the third if there is a need.

However, I totally thing there will be, it's not a big expense so suggest we should buy three:

2 to add to the ones on use in rotation (1 at a time)
1 to keep in storage as a spare should one break (it will cost us more in time to search for a decent supplier of new compatible jugs again should one break than the cost of getting an extra one now)

@nelsonic Should I make the purchase so that it can be included in our expenses?

@iteles I made the seller an offer for 3 jugs and they counter-offered with £31/jug:

Make them them a £30/jug offer for 3 jugs and wait for their counter-offer or if you can't be bothered with the "discount game", just offer £31/jug see if they accept. 👍

Made the offer of £30/jug for 3 jugs 👍

iteles commented 3 years ago

I got a counter-offer of £102.00 for the 3 jugs so just accept yours and send me the receipts please!!

Wow. that's crazy. obviously my much lower offer created an Anchoring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring_(cognitive_bias) toward the lower end of the price range. Will checkout now and forward the payment confirmation. 👍
