Works as expected. My only regret is that I waited so longer to purchase one. I replaced a Waring that was high priced but sorely lacking in mixing ability. I use it multiple times daily for soups, sauces, whole food plant based pancake mixes, etc.
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power
It was a very hard decision between 5200 and latest model. Glad I got 5200! It’s just perfect for my kitchen needs where I usually make smoothies for one or max two. I don’t think it’s loud for a blender...have made many batches of almond butter to perfection! Easy to clean.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Power
This is a big and strong blender with a massive motor that is loud and throaty like a good appliance should be. Unlike the cheap brands that leave chunks in your smoothie, the Vitamix machine gets the roughest ingredients into a smooth liquid.
I bought the Vitamix 5200 about one month ago. I absolutely love this blender! I use it daily to make smoothies and shakes. My son, who often makes proteins shakes, uses it as well and he loves it. Easy to clean. This blender does such a beautiful job of blending up anything we throw in it! I’ve made hummus from scratch and it’s the smoothest hummus ever! So easy!
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
I bought this for my sister and she loves it. It’s exactly what she needed to make her juicing and her blending. The only problem is that it takes a long time to blend small things in small amounts. It blends very well for things that take up space and usually larger.
Within about a month of very basic use making smoothies from steamed veggies the blender broke. I’m now facing a repair and really regret this purchase.
