Unbelievable endurance and customer service

We bought our Vitamix 5200 twelve (12!) years ago and it's still going strong. At one month past seven (7!) years we had a problem with the bearings in the container starting to leak. Even though we were just past the warranty, the company asked us to return the whole machine and then sent it back to us refurbished, with a brand new container. It's still running just fine. FYI, we make homemade almond milk using whole almonds 2-3 times a week. We're only here now to look at the newer designs. Let's just say, we are serious fans of Vitamix.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power

This vitamix 5200 has been used in my home daily for 11 years! We use it to mix gastrostomy tube feeds every day, and blended drinks usually about twice per week. I purchased our blender in 2014. We have never had a mechanical breakdown or any major repairs that needed taken care of.
Pros: Durability

I bought my Vitamix 8 years ago and right after my 5 year warranty was up grease started coming out of the bottom of the container. this is way to expensive to only last 5 years.
Pros: Other

We're sorry to hear this. This container is not dishwasher safe and will cause the seal to break down and allow the lubrication to leak out. Please call 1-800-848-2649 for further assistance.

I love the Vitamix blender I'm only giving it 2 stars because when trying to puree my mom's soup it consistently overheats and shuts off. Soup is carrots, celery, onions, rice, chicken, and broth only. Otherwise it works the best for nut milks and smoothies
Pros: Other

The machine is not working well. I followed the instruction but the smoothie is very coarse. With the green grape, I can even find lots of grape skin in the smoothie. With frozen berries, there are also big grains left in the smoothie.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Why use plastic?!?!?!

I love all of the features of vitamix and think it's a superior blender, but am disappointed that they still haven't moved to glass, particularly after all of the research out now about plastics (even BPA-Free plastic isn't safe). Wish they would update their product!

Its amazing! I love all details of the Vitamix 5200. The one thing i would change is i would make it lock in place because my blender came up once and grinded metal off the motor.
Love love love otherwise!!!!!!

This is my second Vitamix. The first was a refurb and the second was new. It is great for smoothies, and such, but it cannot handle Hummus, which we make a lot of. OMG, It shakes, smells of an electrical fire and will vibrate off of the counter top if not held in place. I called Vitamix and they gave me instructions for when making Hummus. It, still, does a very poor job.
Pros: Easy to use
Response from vitamix.comBy hhcc, April 28, 2020
Hummus is a dense recipe that requires the use of the tamper that came with your machine. Once you add your ingredients to the container, start the machine and turn it up to 10 quickly. As the unit runs at high speed, insert your tamper through the lid plug opening and press it into the recipe repeatedly. This will break up air pockets that can put a strain on your motor. With high speed and the tamper, your recipe with flow freely through the container and your cooling fans will prevent the machine from overheating.
