The machine is not working well. I followed the instruction but the smoothie is very coarse. With the green grape, I can even find lots of grape skin in the smoothie. With frozen berries, there are also big grains left in the smoothie.
I purchased VItamix 5200 for my daughter who has major gut issues. She has found this machine to be a lifesaver and a powerhouse. Very convenient and easy to clean also.
Pros: Easy to clean, Durability, Easy to use, Power
This is the second 5200 machine that I purchased. The first one lasted just over eight years. I use it everyday for a healthy life style. I hope this time, I can get more than eight years out of it. The 5200 is far superior than any machine I used in the past.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
I've wanted a Vitamix for over 5 yrs and now i've finally got one for my 32nd birthday (thanks to hubby)!!!!
