I purchased a refurbished 5200 blender. I'm making hot soups, whipped drinks, smoothies and who knows what next! Having only owned typical blenders I had no idea how incredibly easy it would be to create healthy alternatives to store bought items. Additionally, the refurbished unit is just like new. So happy with my purchase!
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Power, Other
I've used my Vitamix almost daily for the past 12 years, and it's still running strong! I use it to make my daily smoothies most often, but have also used it to make soups. I love it!
We've used this machine daily and multiple times a day for 10 years now. We make soups, nut butters, smoothies, dressings, frosty drinks, you name it. Does it all.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power
Got mine a month ago, it's just what I wanted, I was whising and waiting for one and now I'm just so glad to finally have it, we use it almost every day and it's simple fantastic!
I finally upgraded from my old Magic Bullet and I'm so glad I did. The 5200 is super easy to use, no frills or confusing complicated attachments. I could immediately start using the blender to make smoothies, ice-cream, pina coladas and shakes. Even the clean up is simple because it self cleans with a small squirt of Dawn dish soap. I like my smoothies thick and creamy but my nephew likes his smoothies with a thinner consistency like juice. It's such a piece of cake to customize because of the powerful ability of the motor to blend finely the toughest ingredients. I can't wait to try more recipes.
I’ve had a lot of blenders in my life and none of them have been as straightforward and reliable as this one. It does everything great, without the fuss of a ton of special mixing options. I’ve make smoothies everyday, and never had an issue. I’ve done purées, soups, and blended up some pretty tough ingredients…. Never an issue. I once didn’t add enough liquid to a smoothie. The machine recognized its overheating, shut off off 15 min, and then I got back to using it without issue. (It’s a safety feature on these, as to avoid permanent damage) This is just a no nonsense tool for the kitchen. Oh, and bc it’s not pack with, what I consider to be, unnecessary features, it’s a breeze to clean and maintain.
I have had a 5200 for over a decade, and only decided to replace it with the same exact model after I very carelessly broke off the grounding prong of the plug during a move. It was devastating until I received the replacement in the mail and unboxed the shiny new base, container, and tamper. There was nothing wrong with the motor of the base I replaced, yet the new one sounds and seems to work even smoother. I use this blender for smoothies, soups, ice cream, sauces, dips, spreads, creams, grinding coffee and nut butters, and I can’t imagine life without it.
