I have three other vitamixers: and just bought another one for a new home. This newer version is very light and plastic feeling. It is not nearly as solid as my other three. Plus, this newer version has that automatic stop if it senses any over heating ; which it days quit the first time I used it ; and I felt it was not over heating to cause it to shut down. The new one does puree very well - which is the main reason I like vitamixers. I love my other three older models. The new model is very disappointing- except it does purée wonderfully. Something must have changed as far as the quality during manufacturing…..
Pros: Texture Quality, Recipe Enhancement, Other

It's great. Powerful. Simple. Everything I wanted except for one thing. My Cuisinart blender was glass. This one's plastic. I wish it was glass. That's why I dinged it one star.

My old 5200 was a champ! The new 5200 motors aren't up to par with the Vitamix brand that once was. New motor is light and allows the base to move around on the counter. New motor over heats easily. Disappointed I paid full retail for this new machine that isn't as good as my old one. Looking for a different company with higher quality standards.

Hi! We are sorry to hear of your experience. Please know that newer machines are more sensitive to overheating to protect the motor. The best way to prevent this is to take the machine up to its highest speed within the first 5 seconds of blending. This will give you the best blend, keep the motor cool and lessen any vibration you are experiencing.

I have have a Vitamix 5200 for maybe 20 years. I realized it wasn't working as well as it once did so we decided to replace it. We basically use it for smoothies using essentially the same ingredients as we always have for many years. Sadly, the new 5200 doesn't work nearly as well as the old one. About once a week I have go dig out the base unit from the garage to finish our breakfast because the new one once again shuts down. There is no way this unit could make ice cream or anything else remotely heavy duty like the old one could when it was new. Very disappointed in this product.

Hi, we are sorry to hear of your experience. Please know that the newer units have a more sensitive thermal protection system to protect the motor and will shut off when they get too warm. To avoid overheating your machine in the future, be sure to ramp the machine up to the highest speed within five seconds of turning it on to activate the cooling fan in the motor. If you have tried these tips and still are having an issue, please call us at 1-800-848-2649, so we can further assist.

I owned another juicer for many years, and I have to say, I was satisfied with it. However, the clean up was more than I really had time for. When I decided to cross over to the Vitamix, it was JUST what I needed in terms of clean up AND quality of juice!

I've been wasting money my whole life on cheap blenders and food processor attachments that rarely do their job well or last more than a few years. The Vitamix was the best addition to my kitchen since my wedding registry.

I originally had purchased a less powerful Vitamix and they happily exchanged in for this fabulous machine. I use it daily and I especially like the cookbook of recipes that came with my new machine, a great way to get your vegetable in-take in for the day.
