We bought our Vitamax 5200 three months ago and couldn't be happier. The machine is a little intimidating at first, but once you get comfortable with it, it's super easy to use and lives up to the hype about its performance capabilities. I use it nearly every morning to make smoothies, and the best part is that it's so easy to clean. Just some water, a few drops of soap and the blender does the hard part.
Would recommend this model to anyone.

I received my Vitamix as a present from my brother, who has been trying to motivate me to eat healthier. Boy, did it work! On average, I make something in my Vitamix about 1-2 times per week. In the past 4 days alone I've made 2 breakfast smoothies (each recipe lasts me 2 days), roasted red pepper alfredo sauce to top my favorite pasta dish, and last night I made gingered carrot orange soup for dinner that was a HUGE hit. All made right in the Vitamix with minimal prep work, and all much healthier than similar products I could have bought at the grocery. The fact that I can make so many different things with a single appliance means I'll be using it for a long time to come, and not be getting bored with my new healthy eating habits!

I've had this for a few months now and there is no doubt in my mind that it won't last for decade or maybe longer. It was for sure made to last. I took the advice of many raw-foodist and they didn't steer me wrong. I wouldn't purchase any other blender after experiencing this high of a performance. Theres a reason it's so expensive.. it's worth it. If you can afford it, get it and you will not be unhappy. NOTE: I WAS worried about cleaning the blender since the bottom blade isn't easily removable like the Ninja, which was my old blender, but It's *easier* to clear than the ninja. I didn't believe it would work at first, but the Vitamix dvd that came along with my purchase said to blend soapy water on high for about a minute or so and then just rinse and wipe clean. So yes, it's very easy to clean. Just get a long neck 'bottle' brush to scrub the bottom for stickier stuff like peanuts, sauce etc. Still 2 thumbs up!!

I owned another juicer for many years, and I have to say, I was satisfied with it. However, the clean up was more than I really had time for. When I decided to cross over to the Vitamix, it was JUST what I needed in terms of clean up AND quality of juice!
