We've had our 5200 for over 5 years now and have given it quite the work out. We do green smoothies every day and I use it for tons of other things too. It is a rare day the vitamix isn't turned on at least once. I love this model and couldn't be happier. I just hoped on to look at getting a second one for our second home. Can't recommend this enough. PS there is a great Facebook group with recipes too if that is your cup of tea.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Versatility, Power
Third 5200, this motor hesitates before getting up to speed - an intentional feature to ease up to full power, or a defect? Reason I'm leaning towards the later is one time it hummed without turning like stuck, then finally turned when I dialed it up. It certainly is giving me pause. The other issue is that when the blade initially turns at low speeds, there is a clicking noise, as if the bearings had not been packed. If I don't hear back from you here, I will be in touch with Customer Service.
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use

Hello, we'd like to further assist you. Please call 1-800-848-2649 when you are with your machine.
This blender is seriously incredible. I made a smoothie with a lot of blackberries and it even made the seeds disappear. The variability of speeds makes so you won't end up with the problem of air bubbles around the blade, which is what happens when the blade is too fast for thicker substances. The jug handles heat well so you can blend soups.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Recipe Enhancement, Product features, Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this model for over 5 or 6 years now and I wouldn't/couldn't live without one! I use this daily, sometimes multiple times a day. There is nothing this cannot do and it is a must have in anyone's kitchen!

My 2007 Vitamix was still going strong but the container had become discolored after 12 years of weekly smoothies, occasional salsa and soups, so I bought a new model. It's definitely quieter than the old one. I expect to have the same longevity as before and love the 7 year warranty.
