I had my first Vitamix (this same model) for over 14 years. I wanted a new container, and then there was a wonderful sale & it was such a great deal that I simply purchased the entire blender. I adore this model and so knew I wanted the same one. It is used more than once a day ~ it's a powerhouse.
This is beyond what I needed in a blender so glad got this! Been wanting a vitamix for years now and happy with this purchase not a wasted dollar spend.

USE IT (almost) DAILY

I bought my Vitamix 5200 in October 2012. Other than a little wear on the carafe, the machine is like new. This is by far the best purchase I have ever made. I primarily use it for green protein smoothies (my go to breakfast), but also use it for soups, butters, and homemade ice cream.
My green smoothies are notorious at work. Some love them and some turn their noses, BUT for those that love them they ask me my secret. I tell them, the Vitamix! Some have chosen a Ninja for the savings. I warned them, it must be a Vitamix - worth the money because you won't have to buy a new one every year.

I bought my Vitamix in November of 2013 and have loved it since. It is by far one of the best investments I have made for our family of 5. It gets used daily, from when I first bought it for making baby food, soups, ice cream to our daily green smoothies and making almond, cashew and oat milk. Customer service is phenomenal and I love the free recipes via email. Overall it's an amazing, powerful and beautiful machine, the red one looks beautiful on my counter.

Makes Me Happy My KitchenAid Died

I loved my old KitchenAid blender, which was a true workhorse in my kitchen, but I have to say, I could marry my Vitamix. It's given my nutrition smoothies a new lease on life; the texture is so so so much creamier now. They're no longer things I "have" to drink; now they're things I *want* to drink. Plus, I recently discovered the existence of "Nice Cream", and, when it comes to trying to make ice cream out of a frozen banana, the Vitamix is way more up to the task than my food processor is. The food processor is pretty good, but the Vitamix takes that banana and turns it into smooooooooth goodness.
Bottom line, this Vitamix makes sad, healthy food seem like it's almost sinful. Which makes it enjoyable. I am looking forward to trying new recipes with my fabulous new appliance! Thank you, Vitamix :-)

I bought my vitamix after months of hearing others on a WFPB lifestyle forum rave about it. I have not once regretted it. I make smoothies daily and the smooth consistency keeps me coming back. Called customer service once for an accessory question and they were amazing - kind, knowledgeable - two thumbs up !!
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Product features, Power
I finally have a blender that does what I want it to do - work! Sure they are a little expensive, but the lack of aggravation, quality of the machine, and product support is more than worth it.
