I have used Vitamix products for over 25 years and have nothing but high praise. I just gave away my 25 yr old 5200 and treated myself to a new one. Now, there are two of us who are happy with Vitamix

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a Vitamix previously that did not have the Variable option, only High and Low. I like this one so much better!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this machine. It makes next-level smoothies that are so very smooth, so free of chunks. It is powerful and easy to clean and care for. My only struggle is that I live in an apartment building, and this blender is LOUD. Every time I make a breakfast smoothie, I worry that someone is going to come pound on my door and complain about the noise.

I recently broke my jaw and cracked my eye socket in two places. I was told I would only be able to suck broth like substance through straw as jaw wired for 3 weeks. This machine is amazing. It purees the tiniest seeds. I do have to add extra liquid to all foods pureed to enable sucking through my teeth but has been a lifesaver as far as being able to eat anything at all.

My 2007 Vitamix was still going strong but the container had become discolored after 12 years of weekly smoothies, occasional salsa and soups, so I bought a new model. It's definitely quieter than the old one. I expect to have the same longevity as before and love the 7 year warranty.
