My old Vitamix finally broke. I have been using it around 2-3 times daily for the last 16 years or so. The container and socket drive had enough. Instead of sending in for repair, husband bought me a new one. I was thrilled to find out there were more colors than standard black. This red model is a beauty and works like a dream. I tried using regular blender and food processor to get me by until it arrived. It was a 2 week nightmare but I got through. I am so happy with this blender and the Vitamix company. Some day I will send in my old model for repair. Thank you!
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Versatility, Power
My first 5200 model was purchased around 2013, and used very often. Daily smoothies for many months/years. The canister began leaking/cracking but still usable. I decided to gift myself a new 5200 model Dec 2025. The original motor still runs though! When replacing it I got the exact same model.
This Vitamix is well worth the price. Quality product with a powerful motor to handle blended soups. smoothies and hummus without a problem. Easy clean up.

Returned, does not do the job for the price. Tiny pieces is what you get not smooth texture.
