I don’t understand all the hype.... I actually liked my Ninja better for thick smoothies. The vitamix blade jams up easily if there isn’t enough liquid in the bottom.
Obsessed!! We use our new vitamix twice a day. Our smoothies have gotten healthier since now I can add tons of greens and seeds and everything gets blended into an ultra smooth mixture. Also love that it heats our sauces so our plant cheese is ready to go once the macaroni is cooked. I don’t know how I lived without this machine!

Great Blender with some room for improvement

I love my Vitamix, because it is so powerful, however — if I flip the switch to high speed, Sometimes it moves on the counter. It also has a hard time with thicker smoothies. That said, with enough water and without switching to the high speed, it does a great job. I do wish these problems could be fixed however, especially for the price.
I purchased this blender in January 2016, and I absolutely love it! I had borrowed a family members before I purchased mine--same model 5200 Standard--and I was instantly sold the very first time I used it. I was shocked at how quickly this blender blends greens and then frozen fruits all within under 30 seconds. The clean up is super simple and easy to maintain. I would highly recommend this blender to anyone who is looking for a blender that will last. Even though the price is steep, it is definitely worth it! I love how this blender can make a thick smoothie or an almost like juice smoothie if you add more liquids.
Everyone raves about the Vitamix, for the money it’s not what I expected. I’ve used it maybe 5 to 6 times. Follow recipes to a T and does not blend properly. Im starting to think something is wrong with it and returning it for a new one. Disappointed. Haven’t used it in over three weeks. It’s more of a hassle than anything. Nothing blends properly
