Arrived with a loose part that I had to snap into place. Wish that there was an option to just buy the smaller canister rather than the big one plus an ancillary canister. Also tabs on base that hold cord in place are now plastic. They used to be metal. Otherwise blender is quiet, powerful, and functions well as designed.
Pros: Texture Quality, Versatility, Power

Hi, we are sorry to hear that you had a part out of place on your blender. We will defiantly pass along the feedback about a smaller container.
I love the Vitamiz blender and had an older model from 2012. When it started to go - I bought as close to the exact same thing to replace it. My old pitchers are interchangable, which is just what I wanted. I regularly make an oatmeal waffle mix - and this blends it much finer than other blenders I've had. It's great for smoothies as well - handling ice and frozen fruits exceptionally well.
I love my new Vitamix 5200 Series blender. Finally, I was able to purchase it. It is worth every penny!
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Power

I can finally eat strawberries again.

We have had the 5200 for 2 months. I cannot eat strawberries because of the seeds. Wife has wanted one for 48 years. I finally broke down and granted Her wish. I kick myself now for not granting Her wish 48 years ago.
This vitamix has been invaluable! I would love it no matter what, but I have been diagnosed with Crohn's disease. I have to be very careful with foods. Smoothies and soups are my life! Thank you!
