I am so pleased with this purchase. I appreciate all those on YouTube who demonstrated recipes as it helped me decide which one to buy. My old blenders could not process the ingredients well enough to create the smooth sauces and smoothies I wanted. I would buy this one again in a minute!!
We had this model before for 10 years. It worked great and finally wore out. We bought this same model and it does not operate near as well as the old one. It is like there is now a “clutch” of some sort and it sounds horrible and just does not blend as well.

Hi! We are sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your new Vitamix as much as your previous one. Please call us at 1-800-848-2649, so we can troubleshoot it with you and make sure it is working as it should.
We've had our Vitamix for a few months and make smoothies daily. It blends raw and frozen fruit in less than a minute and is easy to clean per instructions. Total time from prep to cleaning is less than 5 minutes.
I wanted to share my experience with the Vitamix 5200. Honestly, it has been such a wonderful addition to my kitchen.
I’ve found so much joy lately in the process of creating, searching for, and pondering new and different recipes. It has opened up a whole new world of culinary possibilities for me, and I’ve become truly happy exploring what this machine can do.
I would highly recommend that everyone have one in their household. It’s more than just a blender; it’s an inspiration to try new things every day!
