If you like to use your food processor, blender and puree food but you don’t have the space for all of them? The Vitamix 5200 Standard blender is just what you are looking for. It can grind coffee beans, make the smoothest smoothie or whatever you would want a blender to do. This blender is top of the notch as far as what it can do and how much it costs. This machine is really durable for whatever you want to put in it. I have ground coffee beans, pureed potatoes and even blended ice, this machine will do it all. It comes with a safety rode so you can push the food product down towards the blades in a safe manner which I really liked because it is long enough with a handle so you can’t drop it as easily and it’s thick so it is easy to find in the cupboard. Most blenders are hard to clean and get under the blades, but the Vitamix is made to clean itself. You put hot water and soap in it and put it through a cycle of spinning the blades and it comes out with the best clean every time. Since this blender is larger than most blenders this feature comes in handy every time you use it. Since it has a 64-ounce container it can make large batches of things before you know it. With this blender it is a good idea to measure your ingredients out before putting them in otherwise you might get way more than you wanted. The 5200 standard is expensive, but they are top quality and will last you for many years. The biggest advantages of this machine is the variable speed control. This element makes it possible of the Vitamix to reach speeds that will create enough friction to bring a cold ingredient to steaming hot. This is really valuable when you put soup ingredients in the blender, you can make a meal just in the Vitamix. Moreover, the speed control also allows the Vitamix to pulverize even the smallest of ingredients such as seeds. This blender can act as a food processor, a blender and a puree all in one machine. You’ll want to make sure you stand by it while you have it on high speeds so it doesn’t over work itself after it has blended everything. I would strongly recommend the Vitamix 5200 standard blender because it does the job of three machines in one. It will do any job you want, you will not be disappointed.

I have owned a Vitamix for the past 5 plus years now, and someone I knew wanted to have one and could not buy it! So, I gave my older one to her and bought a new one! Love this product! I use it everyday! Wouldn't be without one in my Home! One of the Better investments I have ever made! Worth your Money and Time!

I replaced my Blendtec with this Vitamix and couldn't be happier! The Blendtec doesn't have a tamper and can't get through seeds, or grains at all. Making a protein shake with 1/8 cup oatmeal in the Blendtec left me with a grainy heavy textured shake. The same recipe in this Vitamix made a super smooth "liquid" shake. Hands down the best blender for the money and best blender you will find for turning anything you put into it into liquid especially green smoothies.

I have had a vita mix for 20 years and it finally broke down after heavy use. They offered to repair but I decided to buy a new one! Looking forward to the next 20 years + of this amazing blender!
