We bought this blender for my special need's son. We wanted to feed him real foods, but a "typical" blender isn't strong enough to blend the food smooth enough that it won't clog his feeding tube. The Vitamix blends his food perfectly, and we haven't had a clog yet! I never thought I'd say this, but this blender literally changed my life -- and more importantly, my son's life.

this has been a *very important* addition to our kitchen. my partner and i researched it quite a bit and decided against the newer digitized models because we like the sturdiness of the older models and prefer manual switches to programmable options. at least 1 out of 3 meals a day are smoothies now, we've upped our salad dressing game, and we can easily drink a salad's worth of fresh veg without any chewy spinach or kale getting stuck at the bottom of a glass.

I bought my Vitamix about 2 months ago and I love it. My daughter’s tube feeding had never been easier, but with Vitamix blender I know I’d get a smooth consistency. I love the higher jar compare to the smaller one because I can make more batch. However, the only down side is the noise it makes is so much louder than the one my brother has. I use to borrow his prior to buying my own. Every time I raise the power to 7-10, it would sound like the machine is going to break or explode; compared to my brother’s Vitamix blender, his is very smooth in sounding. But overall, I love my Vitamix blender. I will never go back to other blender. Thanks for making my daughter’s tube feeding journey easier.

Had a Model 5000 Vitamix for 16 years. Returned it to Vitamix and was able to get the 5200 at a great price. Excellent machine. Use it everyday and it keeps on ticking. For the money it's the best you can buy.
thanks

We love it, we have used for several thing, chopping, mixing and most of all for blending foods for my son. I highly recommend it just perfect for all your blending needs.

I only wish we had made this investment sooner! We've been making daily green smoothies, sauces, soups, etc. If you do a daily smoothie, this will pay for itself in no time. Silkiest smoothies you've ever had!

We went through two other brands of smoothie blenders. They did not work overly great. This blender is expensive, but it was well worth it. By the time we spent all of the money on the other blenders that ended up not working, we wished that we would have started with this one.
