Based on this blender's performance a month in; I am immediately impressed but it's efficiency to blend my frozen ingredients used in morning smoothies. The container is well designed for both pouring contents out and for cleaning.
My wife has wanted one of these for years, and she finally got one. It is everything she hoped it might be.

I bought this over 7yrs ago. This thing is a no frills workhorse. I traded (up?) for a newer model since I got a good deal and I was sick of this not fitting under my counter (can buy a low profile pitcher but they are expensive). I don't like that the new self detect pitchers don't fit on this one.
Fast service, received my blender 3 days after ordering. And, this was the last of December! Everything was in good condition. Very easy to set up and manual was very helpful for a newbie, like me! Recipes in the book that came with it have been easy to follow. I have never had a blender so powerful. I no longer have bits of fruit, vegetables, or ice in my smoothies. They are so smooth now! I am looking forward to learning new recipes and techniques with my 5200.
Love this machine. I sent my original Vitamix (20years old) to college with my daughter and treated myself to a new one. I prefer this model because I tried the cheaper one with Pulse feature but DID NOT like. This is used practically every day!!
