I usually never do reviews. However, I rely on vitamix everyday for every meal due to not being able to swallow whole food. Vitamix is the best, hands down. The last 5200 I had went for 15 years and used everyday. I think I can actually repair it and fix it too. Great product. Nothing else blends as fine.
I'm loving my Vitamix and use it everyday to make smoothies and healthy snacks! It's easy to use and a bit more quiet than my last blender. I'm super pleased with it over all. I recommend buying the tamper holder also. It's pricey, but so convenient and handy to have right there and to store easily.
This product is well made, powerful, simple design, clear instructions. I use it mostly to make smoothies and soup. It handles ice, frozen fruit in big chunks, yoghurt, fresh fruit, and liquids with no problem, so long as the instructions for the order of loading, and using the supplied stick to push down and stir are followed. It feels solid. It's easy to clean. It's a daily workhorse in my kitchen. I didn't need or want any fancy controls or wireless or app or anything like that - just two dials and chop up my food without me having to think about it.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
