Bought my first all-steel Vitamix during a demo back in the early 80's. It finally died. I chose this replacement specifically because it has the older narrow container, and I noticed that some of the reviews of the newer models mentioned that the newer wider containers sometimes don't blend as well as the older, narrower containers. I'm quite happy with this model.
I got the 5200 a few months ago and so far, I love it. Mine came with the classic tall thin pitcher which I chose because some of the reviews said that it was hard to get everything blended in the newer wider version. It blends so fast and so smooth that it puts my old blender to shame. I've wanted one of these for years, and I'm not disappointed.
I bought the Ninja years ago because I just couldn’t justify the price for the Vitamix. But I now make green smoothies every day and the Ninja just couldn’t get it smooth. You’d have to almost chew it. So I bought this and haven’t looked back since.

I already own a Ascent A2300 with all the accessories, but I still keep going back to the 5200. Creamy smoothies every day and smooth hot soups/sauces.
It’s the narrow and the funnel-like jar of the 5200 that’s special.
Had had Osters, Ninjas, and others. This one is yhe best of the bunch by far.

I bought my Vitamix 5200 last week, and it arrived today. The first thing I made was the going green smoothie. It processed it until no individual food particles were left, and one flavor could not be distinguished from another. My children who despise spinach loved the sweet smoothie. It was a win/win, and I could not be more pleased, as I have two special needs children with sensory disorders so being able to get nutrients into the food they enjoy like the mango sorbet, also known as ice cream in our house, is a major plus here.

Pureed foods

My wife's sister liking her meat but could not swallow it due to health reasons, suddenly decided that her favorite sister and her husband was at the top of her favorite people, all because of taking and pureed the meat she wanted, using spices she likes and now being able to enjoy the taste she was longing for, I asked about the texture and she said that didn't matter, the flavor is what she was longing for. My brother in-law tried using a regular blender and ended up throwing it away. Vitamix machine is the best way to go in my opinion. Thank you Vitamix for a Great product!!
