I really like that the container tapers down smaller at the bottom so it’s easier to make small batches. I’ve been making a lot of plant based salad dressings, mayo, and sour cream. I even made a cashew sauce and cooked it right in the Vitamix.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power

Great so far, but technique matters!

So far, I have made peanut butter, salsa, margaritas, smoothies, and crushed ice.
It's extremely powerful and hasn't struggled in the slightest to grind down anything, however, it's important to note how big of a deal technique is. I struggled with my first smoothie because my apple slices were too large and got stuck, preventing things from being ground down. You need to ensure you have your tamper ready or cut the pieces to an appropriate size for it to free blend.
Finally, there definitely is an art to what speed you use for different goals and recipes. For this, Vitamix's recipes on their website are really good about including instructions on what speed to keep the blender at or change it to.
Overall, there's a bit of a learning curve, but the device is awesome! It's also a lot quieter than I expected (though noisy ingredients like ice always cause extra noise, the motor/blender noise is fairly small compared to the Ninja blender we had before).
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power

I've had this for a short time (about 1 month) and have used it for smoothies, soups, and sauces. So far its working great for me.
Time will tell if he excellence continues.

The machine is much quieter than i though it would be especially on the lower settings. Its quiet enough that my 2.5yr old doesn't mind it. She's normally averse to louder kitchen appliances but actually doesn't mind this blender. (maybe she just likes smoothies.)

Wow. I wondered if I was buying into the hype and getting more blender than I need...but this has been so great. I've never been a big smoothie person, but now I'm making them just about every day. The Vitamix grinds through frozen fruit like it's nothin'. I've made soup as well, and intend to explore more recipes--but I'm still excited by the smoothies.
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Power

One blender that does it all. I didn’t know how to use it properly. Called Vitamix and they patiently helped me understand. Since then no looking back. I use it for grinding my indian spice mixes to smoothies. This blender never fails me.

I've used my Vitamix almost daily for the past 12 years, and it's still running strong! I use it to make my daily smoothies most often, but have also used it to make soups. I love it!

OMG! The 5200 is AMAZING!

I purchased a refurbished 5200 blender. I'm making hot soups, whipped drinks, smoothies and who knows what next! Having only owned typical blenders I had no idea how incredibly easy it would be to create healthy alternatives to store bought items. Additionally, the refurbished unit is just like new. So happy with my purchase!

Excellent blender-- but it's loud

This blender does an amazing job at blending smoothies (kale stems, ice, flaxseed, etc.). It was easy to learn how to use it because it came with instructions and a recipe book. I use it once or twice a day and it has really helped me to adopt a healthier lifestyle because I can blend perfect smoothies with ease.
That said, there are some things I wish were different:
*It's TOO LOUD. Everyone in my household is worried that we're all going to lose our hearing because it is far too loud. We cover our ears and/or run for the hills when it is in use. Not ideal, but you can work around it.
*It can't go in the dishwasher. That said, it is very quick/easy to clean if you follow the instructions in the manual.
*The suction cups that help it to stay in place can leave a faint mark on your counters.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and I think it has already paid for itself in less than a year. I am truly grateful for it. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend it. I had disappointingly weak blenders for years, and this machine puts them to shame.
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Power
