I loooove my Vitamix! I’ve always seen and loved these blenders from afar (at other people’s houses) I’m so glad we bought one. We use it every day and it is simply delightful to use. Powerful and quick, easy to clean, love it!
After years and years of use, moving, and honestly being brutalized by all the weird concoctions I make, my Classic Series 5200 Vitamix is still preforming like a champ.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Product features, Power
My wife's sister liking her meat but could not swallow it due to health reasons, suddenly decided that her favorite sister and her husband was at the top of her favorite people, all because of taking and pureed the meat she wanted, using spices she likes and now being able to enjoy the taste she was longing for, I asked about the texture and she said that didn't matter, the flavor is what she was longing for. My brother in-law tried using a regular blender and ended up throwing it away. Vitamix machine is the best way to go in my opinion. Thank you Vitamix for a Great product!!
This Vitamix does everything I read it could do. I have made almond mild and flour, coconut flour and milk, both of which I have used in cooking and smoothie making. It's easy to use and to keep clean.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
We purchased and have been using this unit for 13 years and it is still running perfectly with use several times a week at minimum. This has been the most capable and impressive blender I have ever used!

So far, I have made peanut butter, salsa, margaritas, smoothies, and crushed ice.
It's extremely powerful and hasn't struggled in the slightest to grind down anything, however, it's important to note how big of a deal technique is. I struggled with my first smoothie because my apple slices were too large and got stuck, preventing things from being ground down. You need to ensure you have your tamper ready or cut the pieces to an appropriate size for it to free blend.
Finally, there definitely is an art to what speed you use for different goals and recipes. For this, Vitamix's recipes on their website are really good about including instructions on what speed to keep the blender at or change it to.
Overall, there's a bit of a learning curve, but the device is awesome! It's also a lot quieter than I expected (though noisy ingredients like ice always cause extra noise, the motor/blender noise is fairly small compared to the Ninja blender we had before).

We have had our blender for years and it blends so much better than any other brand we’ve owned. It blends smoothies quickly and smoothly. We’ve even made hot soups in it, they turn out great! It’s quick and easy to clean.
