Although I haven’t used it much so far, it is living up to expectation. Especially being easy to clean! I hope it will prove to be the daily use item I have imagined for so long, but I’m still finding my way around its full capabilities.
This was my first machine! I had it for seven years with the original container! It worked like a champ! We wanted a new one to match our new appliances so we gave this one to another family and it is still going strong!
Had a 5000 wife wanted a red one so we moved up to a 5200 and love the better designed container and lid...it is quieter and loved the 5000 but it would heat up on thicker stuff I run...this one goes right through it just as easy but stays cooler...not a game changer but smart advancements and do not regret getting it...we meal prep and compete in spartan, epic strength and crossfit I'm a 1sr responder and wife is a RN..So we live an extremely healthy life and make stuff for our kids daily and us...
I would recommend this to anyone it packs an amazing punch and BEST price of equipment in our kitchen....
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Recipe Enhancement, Power
This is my second Vitamix 5200. I purchased this one after my first 5200 needed repair. I ended up paying to repair the first one so I have a backup. I think this is an excellent product and have always experienced friendly, excellent, speedy service. Vitamix goes above and beyond to service their customers. I only use it to make healthy green smoothies. I've never gotten around to trying other recipes. I cannot go a day now without my smoothie. Buy a Vitamix. You won't be disappointed!
