I've always cooked at home a lot, and this blender has absolutely changed my morning smoothie bowl game, made me much more likely to bother with pureed soups and has encouraged me to add quick sauces to many more meals. It's been a very welcome addition to my kitchen - it's just so EASY to use!

my old 5200 ran smoother - this one slows down/stops after I turn down the knobs to the left of the on/off switch - when I turn the knobs to the left off - the blender slows/stops and then starts again.
When everybody told me that a Vitamix was the way to go I thought they were name dropping. My boyfriend has a close friend who is a chef that reassured him it was not named dropping and that this brand was legit. 2 months later my boyfriend and I are still astounded on a weekly basis and how fantastic of a blender we received. We purchased the 5200 series and my boyfriend is gaining local renown for a macaroni and cheese that makes the sauce using nothing but the Vitamix. Absolutely a fantastic company and product, for anyone who's wondering if it's worth it the answer is yes.
