Though this blender is pricey, my first thought when I started using it was, why did I wait so long to get one! Now I can make purees or soups without having to use a strainer! Saves so much effort and creates better food! No regrets on splurging that much money!
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Recipe Enhancement, Power

Had a 5200 series machine for many many years and decided to get a new red one! Also bought a 32 ounce container to go with it for single smoothies. Love it!!

We had an 18 year old Vitamix that we loved! I died a few months ago. Of course, we bought another Vitamix. However, we are having it shipped into to be looked at less than 9 months after buying it. It has a burning smell when using it, and it overheats when making things like black bean dip (using canned black beans). I thought the burning smell was due to it being new, but there continues to be a faint aroma. We purposely bought the more "basic" machine so that it would last longer. We have learned the things with more bells and whistles tend to break quicker. I am so incredibly disappointed in my new Vitamix. I don't understand how you can mess up such a good thing!

Hi! We are sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your new machine. To avoid overheating your machine in the future, be sure to ramp the machine up to the highest speed within five seconds of turning it on to activate the cooling fan in the motor. This will also give you the best blend in the quickest time. It is important to know that this new machine is more sensitive to overheating then your older one was, this is a safety feature for the protection of your machine. Please reach out if you have any further questions, 1-800-848-2649.

I love my white Vitamix! I can’t believe I waited this long to get it. It’s is a big purchase but it is so worth it. After trying different cheaper versions I quickly realized you get what you pay for. I did my research and finally, after seen this was recommended by the NYTs wirecutter I decided to take the leap and I am so happy! This one is powerful, easy to use and clean and does the job in seconds. Great for green juices and smoothies and so much more!

After 12 years needed a replacement and decided to stick with the 5200. Works just like the original. Looking forward to many years with this one.

Love the 5200. We've had a refurbished one for years and it finally gave out. We been so pleased with it and have used it so much with our family of 8, that we immediately ordered the exact same modal. And the new one has not disappointed!
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power

The power is a bit disappointing. I use to blend soup with lots of cooked veggies, so already soft, but still takes a long time to puree. Would select higher powered style next time.
Pros: Easy to use

Easy to use and works perfectly. Good idea to wear hearing protection. Easy to clean if done right away. Get the stainless steel container if using for one or two people.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility
