Pleased with the Vitamix and the emails and links that came with it. Not just the best blender I’ve ever used but I also gained a family who wants me and my family to be healthy. Thank you to all who work with vitamix in every nook of the company, you are appreciated.

About a decade ago, our family got a Vitamix 5200 Standard Blender (in white) as a gift. Hundreds of soups, smoothies, etc later, it works just as well as day one! As a graduation gift, I was allowed to choose any blender I wanted for my new apartment.
A thing about me: I'm very very particular about appliances, usually accumulating knowledge over years of observing other peoples experiences, whilst also doing days of research before buying any appliance. I can tell you right off the bat from first hand experience that you should only ever consider Vitamix, Blendtec, or Waring (for those that like the "classic" look) blenders. Yes these blenders are more expensive, but they will cost you less in the long run, because they will last the rest of your life. All three of these manufactures make their blenders in the USA.
So which blender did I choose? The Vitamix 5200 Standard in white (I really like the white as it gives it that "classic" look)! Why, when there are other more expensive models of Vitamix blenders, such as the Professional 750? My reasoning is this: the 5200 Standard is SIMPLE and RELIABLE. It does not have unnecessary programmed presets and other bells and whistles that can break or decrease the lifespan of my blender. Also, the 5200's taller jar blends smaller quantities far better than the shorter/wider jar that comes with other Vitamix models. The Vitamix 5200 standard is the simplest, most functional, most reliable blender period. It is pure perfection which cannot be improved upon, regardless of the fact Vitamix offers more expensive models.
I will end on this: even if you have unlimited money to spend, go with the Vitamix 5200 Standard, and I would highly recommend getting it in white. DO NOT buy any of their digital/programable blenders. It's a blender; all it needs is an on/off switch and a simple potentiometer to modulate the current fed into the motor. The digital trash does not enhance your experience, it only makes the blender more complicated to operate and less reliable. Seriously what's next, a blender that connects to the internet and has a digital clock that is perpetually set to the wrong time?
Get the best blender. Get the Vitamix 5200 Standard.

I bought my blender over 2 months ago and so happy I went this route. I have had other blenders in the past that haven't been able to blend a smoothie for me.This blender hasn't had a problem blending it for me. I have also used it to make nut milk and works perfect on that. Next I want to try to make is soups but I'm sure it will do fine making those too. So happy with this product.

I come from a Vitamix family!! My niece purchased a Vitamix 15 years ago and told me about wonderful it was to use when making smoothies. I watched her in action and was amazed at how easy it was to operate. I’m a Vitamix fan for life!
This is the second Vitamix I've purchased. The first one lasted for close to 14 years and I couldn't be happier with their warranty policy how's I had to replace the blade about five years after purchasing. I trust this blender will last just as long if not longer :-)

My mom bought one some years ago and I was impressed with it and I had to get one for myself when my old blender quit working. I love my Vitamix blender! Very well worth the money spent on it, I could only imagine everyone would agree.

Well, after feeding 4 infants, and now teenagers and one in college, my vitamix finally conked out. I called support and they offered to recondition it.. wow thrilled. I'll be shipping it back, and look forward to it making "baby" food for me.
