I kept breaking cheap blenders about every 9 month. I finally broke down and bought the best. I hope it lasts a long time because I am going to use it daily if not more so.
Pros: Speed of Service, Precise Textures, Durability, Easy to use, It's Many Uses, Product features, Power
I procrastinated spending this much money on a blender for a couple years before I finally bit the bullet and bought this Vitamix 5200! Since it's my first it is hard to compare but based on power, simplicity, ease of use and durability so far I give it a 5 out of 5 rating. I've been blending a lot of vegetables from the garden; cabbage, carrots, apples, avocados, bananas, lettuce, spinach, etc, as well as almonds, sunflower seeds and walnuts. I'm amazed at how easy this thing is to use and to clean! And it's classed up my eating habits and an attractive looking appliance in my kitchen!
Simply said its worth the investment! No blender I've used compares. I'm still learning about it and that's what's great! Here's to amazing smoothies, and much more. Healthy eating made easy with vitamix
Pros: Easy to clean, Durability, Quality, Easy to use, It's Many Uses
