The power is a bit disappointing. I use to blend soup with lots of cooked veggies, so already soft, but still takes a long time to puree. Would select higher powered style next time.
Pros: Easy to use

Love the 5200. We've had a refurbished one for years and it finally gave out. We been so pleased with it and have used it so much with our family of 8, that we immediately ordered the exact same modal. And the new one has not disappointed!
I love my white Vitamix! I can’t believe I waited this long to get it. It’s is a big purchase but it is so worth it. After trying different cheaper versions I quickly realized you get what you pay for. I did my research and finally, after seen this was recommended by the NYTs wirecutter I decided to take the leap and I am so happy! This one is powerful, easy to use and clean and does the job in seconds. Great for green juices and smoothies and so much more!
Had a 5200 series machine for many many years and decided to get a new red one! Also bought a 32 ounce container to go with it for single smoothies. Love it!!
Though this blender is pricey, my first thought when I started using it was, why did I wait so long to get one! Now I can make purees or soups without having to use a strainer! Saves so much effort and creates better food! No regrets on splurging that much money!
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Recipe Enhancement, Power

We bought the 5200 10 years ago and we use it daily. The warranty is great! We had a problem with the drive wheel and it was immediately replaced. I even bent the blade when I left a spoon in it and they replaced the container! This is a workhorse! We’ve done soups, purées, daily smoothies.
