The ONLY Vitamix I’ll buy! I had a refurbished 5200 machine that needed to be replaced after 8 years and I originally went with one of the newer low profile Vitamixes. Don’t make the same mistake I did! The LP machines absolutely do not blend small batches of anything and they make a huge mess. The 5200 is the perfect Vitamix! The form is great and the function is even better. The .2HP increase in the new models doesn’t really do much. My 5200(s) have never met anything they couldn’t handle. Yes it’s an investment but if you use your blender a lot, or blend all sorts of foods, the Vitamix is always your best bet.
very good, very silent, the only think is that smells a little burn when you use even for short periods in medium-high capacity. but I believe that this is normal in the beginning. I hope with time the machine motor will adapt and get stronger.
I use my Vitamix every day for smoothies, salad dressings, and soups. This blender is so powerful. Absolutely wonderful. It chops everything perfectly and makes it silky smooth.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I have broken 2 nutribullets so I knew it was time to scale up to something that can handle my smoothie addiction. I am happy to report that this is worth every penny. My smoothies are smoother than ever, the clean up is easy and there are no signs of this baby breaking any time soon.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I bought the vitamin after my last blender broke. What a difference in the smoothness and texture of my smoothies. There are no lumps or problems with getting all the ingredients mixed together.
I brought the equivalent of this Vitamin, it was called the Super 5000 back then. I bought it over twenty years ago and I have never had a single problem with it. There's a skip nowadays at one speed but I'm still using the same pitchers and blades. I came on here to look around because I friend stopped by who saw me using it and has gone through multiple other brands and couldn't believe how old mine was. I may invest in a new pitcher one of these days for sharper blades but best money I ever spent. Anyway....gotta go make my morning smoothie.
Pros: Programability, Speed of Service, Durability, Power
