I have been using Vitamix more than 25 years. To tell you the truth, we use it every day, even make soup in vitamix, we have not changed the blades yet. We bought this one for our daughter So we bought this for our daugter,
This is the second 5200 I've purchased. I had the first one for 20 years and gifted it to our son after buying the second one. Hopefully, he will get another 20 years out of it.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
I bought this Vitamix almost 2 months ago and it's my favorite kitchen appliance. I've perfected hummus, make smoothies every day, and have tried everything else but soup. I love the tall canister. It is a bit loud but I expected that. I wish the lid snapped on (once I didn't have it on all the way). But really, I'm not complaining. I love this thing.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power
I bought my vita mix over the holidays and I absolutely love it! I make multiple nutritional smoothies and smoothie bowls everyday and this machine stands the test.

After an epic fail of refurbished one, I bought classic 5200. love it. It works like they are known to work. I love the way it makes my smoothies very smooth and creamy, no lumps. Ice is crushed very well. I love it.
I've had my Vitamix for over a month now and I'm happy I got it. I've only made smoothies so far and I like how it blends so fast. I usually drink my smoothie a couple hours after I make it and it's still blended, it does not separate. I look forward to using it for dressings and other things as well.
