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.
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.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
Love it! Has the power of a log chipper shredder and the results are prefect every time. Our morning smoothly routine has been simplified, my soup game has improved and we are enjoying fruit sorbet in the evenings.
