Date: April 04, 2010 05:28PM I am on the vitamix vs blendtec quest and the winner will be whoever produces a blender that has a french plug. I have not been able to find any french suppliers and the uk ones are super expensive and have the uk plug. anyone know a dealer here in france???? If not I can buy in the good ole usa and plug into my super big converter like i do for my excalibur but there has to be a different way, just has to Re: help, living in france and need a blender

If there are no Vita Mix dealers in France then you might try Tan SC of Belgium who serves southern Belgium and France -- [www.vitamix.com] Belgium and France run on the same voltage and Hz (230v/50hz) and use the same plug, at least according to this website-- [www.kropla.com] ..looks like the UK uses a different plug type anyway. Hopefully the Belgium source has a good price? - haven't checked for Blendtec international dealers... Re: help, living in france and need a blender

Date: April 05, 2010 11:32AM ..I see now, the Vita Mix in Brussels is roughly double what it would cost in the US -- [www.tanclub.org]
Vita Mix of Denmark and Germany [www.vitamix.com] would have different plugs? but might be compatable with a simple plug adapter since those countries also operate at 230v/50hz. Best of luck Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 04/05/2010 11:35AM by loeve. Re: help, living in france and need a blender

Date: April 05, 2010 03:01PM I read there's a Blendtec dealer in France but you might want to email Blendtec Corp. to get a list of authorized dealers in your area. Blendtec seems more reasonably priced in the EU if this UK supplier is any indication -- [www.juiceproducer.com]
I see what you mean about needing an adapter if ordering from the UK but at least it can be plugged in anywhere without a converter. Re: help, living in france and need a blender
