I love this machine! It's my second 5200 Vitamix. I made the mistake of leaving a titanium spoon in the jar and turning on my blender, which damage the jar and caused it to leak. So, I took advantage of a sale, and purchase another. It's a great machine, and beyond compare with any of the many other blenders I have owned.

My Vitamix 5000 is now 17 years old. I LOVE IT.

I bought my Vitamix with extra dry grind container for me as a reward for making it out if hospital & learning to do everything again after being hit by a speeding car as a pedestrian in 2003. I love it. It immediately replaced over 6 appliances & became literally my right hand go to for smoothies, cream soups, sauces & agua frescas. It's older as we all are & I need to take care not to run it too long or hot. I'm a compounding herbalist, so I use the dry container to make powders for encapsulation to tinctures for optimum absorption. I would love to put THE ONE, in my rental house, but we'll see. If I need to, I feel confident to replace my 5000 with the 5200.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
Bought my first all-steel Vitamix during a demo back in the early 80's. It finally died. I chose this replacement specifically because it has the older narrow container, and I noticed that some of the reviews of the newer models mentioned that the newer wider containers sometimes don't blend as well as the older, narrower containers. I'm quite happy with this model.
I got the 5200 a few months ago and so far, I love it. Mine came with the classic tall thin pitcher which I chose because some of the reviews said that it was hard to get everything blended in the newer wider version. It blends so fast and so smooth that it puts my old blender to shame. I've wanted one of these for years, and I'm not disappointed.
I bought the Ninja years ago because I just couldn’t justify the price for the Vitamix. But I now make green smoothies every day and the Ninja just couldn’t get it smooth. You’d have to almost chew it. So I bought this and haven’t looked back since.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power

There are copies but Vitamix is the only way to go! Best purchase ever! Best customer service even after many years! I am grateful!! You get what you pay for folks and this is worth every penny! I make the best fresh coconut milk with also! Best frozen drinks and soups too! You're gonna love it and wonder how you did without it!!

I already own a Ascent A2300 with all the accessories, but I still keep going back to the 5200. Creamy smoothies every day and smooth hot soups/sauces.
It’s the narrow and the funnel-like jar of the 5200 that’s special.
