Amazing Versatility, Delicious Foods

I received my Vitamix as a present from my brother, who has been trying to motivate me to eat healthier. Boy, did it work! On average, I make something in my Vitamix about 1-2 times per week. In the past 4 days alone I've made 2 breakfast smoothies (each recipe lasts me 2 days), roasted red pepper alfredo sauce to top my favorite pasta dish, and last night I made gingered carrot orange soup for dinner that was a HUGE hit. All made right in the Vitamix with minimal prep work, and all much healthier than similar products I could have bought at the grocery. The fact that I can make so many different things with a single appliance means I'll be using it for a long time to come, and not be getting bored with my new healthy eating habits!
Pros: Healthy lifestyle, Versatile, Convenient, Easy to use, Blend quality
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had two other Vitamix 5200s and they performed beautifully. Both were everything they should be for a high end blender. However, my new 5200 doesn't do the job. I've had a lot of experience making smoothies and this new Vitamix does fully blend fruit and veggies. I've tried a few smoothie variations with complete disappointment. I don't know whether the new container shape (48 oz) makes the difference or the machine itself. My older 5200 was better.
Pros: Other
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Simply The Best Kitchen Tool On The Market!

I would like to address the people who will read the review from the person who said that Vitamix has "overpromised and undersold". That is absolutely INCORRECT!! I have had my original Vitamix since the1990's and other then replacing the blades once in the original pitcher, have had no issues. The motor has never quit and I use it every day. My Vitamix is at least 25 years old and the motor is as strong and powerful as the day I bought it. It simply does not quit. I think it will puree a brick though I've never tried. I bought it when I was diagnosed with cancer and it helped me to change my lifestyle of eating habits and beat cancer. I eat a whole food diet and use it every day for either smoothies, sauces, dips, dressings, nut butters, nut milk, nut cheeses, you name it. I would never be without my Vitamix. It is by far the best tool in my kitchen!! No other blender even comes close to the Vitamix's power, durability and ability to transform food! For anyone who is contemplating buying one but is shy due to the price, BUY IT. You won't regret it! It will last you your lifetime!
Pros: Programability, Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power

This was bought to replace the original classic product purchased over 10 years ago and given to my daughter-in-law and her family. It also replaced the intermediate purchase of a rival product that is WOEFULLY undernourished. Compared to other manufacturer's products, this is clearly superior in virtually every way. I haven't embraced the new carafe design completely - I prefer the very solid, secure feel of the lid on the old unit. Overall, I am sure there is functionally no difference, but I genuinely feel the "look and feel" of the new unit doesn't provide the same confidence of reliability I had with the old one.
Pros: Versatility

Bought this about two months ago, and we are totally pleased. Makes the absolute best smoothies and veggie drinks almost instantly. Super easy to clean. Exceptionally well built - should last for years. And it comes with a durable easy-to-clean plastic-coated recipe binder full of excellent recipes. Made in the USA. My daughter saw it, and immediately purchased one for her family. Well done, Vitamix!

I use my Vitamix everyday. I have had mine for fifteen plus years. I bought my daughter a new Vitamix for Christmas. We both make our own almond milk, carrot juice, smoothies... everything that you usually get at the mall but cheaper and less sugar. I was in a car accident and broke my jaw. Thank God I had a Vitamix. Words can not describe how much I appreciated this machine. Hot soup was/is my comfort food! .
