Constantly seizes and requires a 45 min cool down.
Been a vitamix customer since 2004 and this is, by far, the worst ome I've owned.
Looking at alternatives and other vendors for first time in 20 years

Hi there, we are sorry to hear that your are having trouble with you new Vitamix. Please know that new machines have a more sensitive thermal protection device in them, turning them off when they get too warm so they are not damaged. The best way to avoid this from happening is to make sure you take the machine to its highest speed within the first 5-7 seconds of blending and use the tamper. If you are still having trouble with it, please call us at 1-800-848-2649 so we can assist you with your unit.

i use the VItamix to make almond milk and hummus. Both tasty, no preservatives and less expensive than from a store.
Pros: Easy to use

Not great for blending full pitcher at one time.

I usually try to make a full pitcher of protein shakes then freeze in individual portions. The Vitamix 5200 doesn’t do well with mixing an entire pitcher at one time. I use almond milk, protein powder, seeds, collagen, and hemp powder with protein. Usually have frozen fruit of some sort on top then blend. If not thick enough I will add ice. The seeds are never disbursed through the pitcher. It looks like the bottom half of the pitcher is better blended.

Hi! When blending a full pitcher like that, make sure you are using the tamper while the machine is running and the lid is securely in place. This will allow all the ingredients to get equally blended.

So much more versatile than a regular blender!
Love the manual dials - less electronic issues to worry about. Wish it had a glass container but plastic container is BPA free. Note: need dry blade for pulsing nut and seeds into flour. If you use wet blade, you will make nut butter! :-)

Great machine. Smarter than me. Had to learn that it shuts itself off for a while if you haven’t properly brought it up to speed.

Knob is looser in these newer models.
It short circuited on the first month of purchase… not sure.
It’s ok so far but I LOVED my old botanic. Unfortunately it burnt down with my entire home. Shame, they don’t make them like they used to.
