I think this might be one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. I really enjoy making smoothies of all kinds. This blender is really powerful, never struggling to blend what I include. It even seems to pulverize small fruit seeds. How? I don’t know. But it does.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
This is our second of the same model. We use it at least once a day and sometimes more. First one lasted almost 10 years and only went in once for warranty work.
We bought the 5200 10 years ago and we use it daily. The warranty is great! We had a problem with the drive wheel and it was immediately replaced. I even bent the blade when I left a spoon in it and they replaced the container! This is a workhorse! We’ve done soups, purées, daily smoothies.
Though this blender is pricey, my first thought when I started using it was, why did I wait so long to get one! Now I can make purees or soups without having to use a strainer! Saves so much effort and creates better food! No regrets on splurging that much money!
