I don’t understand all the hype.... I actually liked my Ninja better for thick smoothies. The vitamix blade jams up easily if there isn’t enough liquid in the bottom.

Great Blender with some room for improvement

I love my Vitamix, because it is so powerful, however — if I flip the switch to high speed, Sometimes it moves on the counter. It also has a hard time with thicker smoothies. That said, with enough water and without switching to the high speed, it does a great job. I do wish these problems could be fixed however, especially for the price.
I purchased this blender in January 2016, and I absolutely love it! I had borrowed a family members before I purchased mine--same model 5200 Standard--and I was instantly sold the very first time I used it. I was shocked at how quickly this blender blends greens and then frozen fruits all within under 30 seconds. The clean up is super simple and easy to maintain. I would highly recommend this blender to anyone who is looking for a blender that will last. Even though the price is steep, it is definitely worth it! I love how this blender can make a thick smoothie or an almost like juice smoothie if you add more liquids.
Everyone raves about the Vitamix, for the money it’s not what I expected. I’ve used it maybe 5 to 6 times. Follow recipes to a T and does not blend properly. Im starting to think something is wrong with it and returning it for a new one. Disappointed. Haven’t used it in over three weeks. It’s more of a hassle than anything. Nothing blends properly
