[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my Vitamix about 2 months ago and I honestly couldn’t be happier. It was a bit of an investment for my household but worth it to say the least. The blender gets used at least once per day in my house and has converted us from eating fattening snacks to healthy alternatives like ice cream and smoothies.
We bought this at a show 15 years ago for making fresh baby food for our first child. Three kids later and 15 years still going strong. We had to replace the tamper and container several years back but that is all. We think that it is starting to finally show its age and might need replacing soon.
We have used this for making baby food, shakes, smoothies, and my wife bought the scale a year back and started using the recipes with it. Our daughter was diagnosed with arthritis at a young age and we used this to make vitamin enriched shakes to help her with the necessary vitamins she needed.
We constantly sharpen the blades with ice. We highly recommend it so much that my brother got one and loves his for fresh tomato soup.
Favorite appliance I have ever purchased! Well worth the money! And this model seems more powerful than the less expensive ones. Such a great purchase! I bought this for my daughter - I have had the same one for about 5 years and LOVE it!! It will chop through anything!
I recently broke my jaw and cracked my eye socket in two places. I was told I would only be able to suck broth like substance through straw as jaw wired for 3 weeks. This machine is amazing. It purees the tiniest seeds. I do have to add extra liquid to all foods pureed to enable sucking through my teeth but has been a lifesaver as far as being able to eat anything at all.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Product features, Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this machine. It makes next-level smoothies that are so very smooth, so free of chunks. It is powerful and easy to clean and care for. My only struggle is that I live in an apartment building, and this blender is LOUD. Every time I make a breakfast smoothie, I worry that someone is going to come pound on my door and complain about the noise.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Recipe Enhancement, Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had a Vitamix previously that did not have the Variable option, only High and Low. I like this one so much better!
I have used Vitamix products for over 25 years and have nothing but high praise. I just gave away my 25 yr old 5200 and treated myself to a new one. Now, there are two of us who are happy with Vitamix
