Dependable, durable, and long lasting!

This vitamix 5200 has been used in my home daily for 11 years! We use it to mix gastrostomy tube feeds every day, and blended drinks usually about twice per week. I purchased our blender in 2014. We have never had a mechanical breakdown or any major repairs that needed taken care of.
I would give it 4.5 stars. It is super powerful. A little frightening how powerful it is compared to the junk blenders we've used in the past. The only reason it is not 5 stars is that it isn't dishwasher safe. That's fine but I made the mistake of using a typical sponge with an abrasive side to clean some bits that didn't get cleaned by the recommended process. I ended up scratching up the inside of the container. It made it a bit cloudy to look through. I wish the instructions would have cautioned against the use of abrasives for cleaning. Other than that, we are very happy with the unit. I would recommend this unit, just be careful cleaning it.

I have had a Vitamix 5200 for at least 10 years. I was considering purchasing a new machine as I want want one that will work with the food processor adaptor. After a lot of research and my 5200 still working great, I'm thinking (for now) I will hold off and keep using what I have. Maybe I can give this to my daughter and it will give me the excuse to buy the new Ascent!
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Power

The warranty is not as advertised , this is second submittal of review , they kicked it back because it was not positive .
I don’t understand all the hype.... I actually liked my Ninja better for thick smoothies. The vitamix blade jams up easily if there isn’t enough liquid in the bottom.

Great Blender with some room for improvement

I love my Vitamix, because it is so powerful, however — if I flip the switch to high speed, Sometimes it moves on the counter. It also has a hard time with thicker smoothies. That said, with enough water and without switching to the high speed, it does a great job. I do wish these problems could be fixed however, especially for the price.
