Vitamix Creations GC Galaxy Class (K36187) and QVC Creations II (K38242) 12-in-1 is creating quite a stir. We have been receiving an overwhelming amount of questions about the QVC Vitamix Creations blenders.
This review will quickly help answer why the Vitamix 5200 is a better buy than a QVC Vitamix Creations. What’s the difference between Vitamix Creations and 5200.
Everyone loves to save money. When on special, QVC Vitamix Creations blenders sometimes sell at a lower price than a new Vitamix 5200 direct from Vitamix. Many people like that QVC offers a payment plan but don’t realize that Vitamix also offers a payment plan. Some folks like the QVC return policy but don’t know that Vitamix offers a 30-Day Risk Free trial. A return to Vitamix is 100% free while a return to QVC costs you at least a return Fee.
Blenders sold direct include a Vitamix 30-Day risk free trial with FREE return.
First, let’s review why most people think these are the same blender. Both the QVC Vitamix Creations GC and the Vitamix 5200 have the same base and motor. That means there is no significant difference in power or controls, the difference between the two lies with the rest of the package offerings, warranty and return policy.

Seriously, when you are investing this kind of money you owe it to yourself to pay a little more (or less for Reconditioned) to:
- get a better container
- choose the bonus gift you want
- get it direct from the manufacturer
- get the superior 7 year warranty
(FYI a 3 yr extended warranty costs $120).

What do you like most about the Vitamix you chose?
Thank you for this, it is exactly what I was looking for. was trying to decide between the QVC version and the 5200. Now the decision is easy – Vitamix 5200 all the way! Thanks!
The warranty length is a major factor, but QVC’s payment plan makes it a lot more do-able for some of us. I’m buying this because of a recent liver inflammation, so waiting an extra month to save up half the money to pay directly to Vitamix, rather than QVC, is a consideration, too.
I cancelled my order at qvc and purchased from vitamix. I got the reconditioned 5200. I didnt want to make payments for nearly half a year. It really is like brand new and I love it. I use it several times everyday. I made only 3 payments to vitamix and… presto! its paid off!
I looked at the vitamix 3 payment plan. In the first payment you have to pay 50% of the cost of the maching on the second payment it’s 25% and third payment is 25%. I choose QVC because of the power payments.
THANK YOU!!!!
I ordered a reconditioned Vitamix and guess what? I received a Creations GC! HA!
Exact same blender for a better price and a better warranty.
Thank you again.
I just received my Vitamix, however, included was less than a postcard-size info sheet providing information about the “old cap” and “new” cap so I called you, and was transferred 7 times before I was finally transferred to “Chia”. She seemed to have an answer before I asked, she is very professional, informative and I felt that you should know that she is an asset to your business.
Thankyou
Just ordered a reconditioned 5200 and was disappointed to receive the Creations GC (frown)! Is it really the same machine? That’s just not right, is it? I am thinking of sending it back. Help?
Larry – it is pretty much the same machine. It can be confusing. The Creation series is a model produced specifically for QVC (but also sold on Vitamix.com).
Some people have been over-joyed because they received a Reconditioned Creations GC thinking it is better than the 5200 because it was sold on QVC and draws a little more power to run the cooling fan all the time. Notice that when you order a “Reconditioned Vitamix” it is not necessarily a “5200″, the label on the base can vary.
But by all means you should be 100% satisfied. Call Vitamix before you send it back.
I have the 5200 model and just LOVE it. The Whole
Food cookbook was included.
Can one buy the Creations cookbook separetly? On QVC it
looks as though it has different recipes.
Thanks,
Jean
Jean, at this time the Creations recipe book is included only with Vitamix Creations models and not available separately.
My question is if all models are able to make nut butters?
thank you.
Yes Beatrice, all Vitamix models can make nut betters. Yummy nut butters!
Hello! Im undesicive about which model to buy! Whats the difference between all the models??
Luz, with so many models, it can easily get overwhelming. Are there any particular models you are comparing? Which one to buy often depends upon how you plan to use it. Feel free to contact us here for continued conversation if you prefer.
