This machine definitely meets my expectations. Glad I bought it.

My husband and I have had our Vitamix 5200 for about three years. We use it Monday through Friday every week of the year. It works as well now as it did when we first got it. We have never had a problem. I would buy it again hands-down!

I wanted a Vitamix for my daughter and son in law who are expecting their first child. I looked at several stores selling Vitamix and the best value was at SAM's club. The kids love it and we took it on a family vacation this year. Outstanding!

This is a great machine. The cookbook with it has great recipes that actually taste delicious. Much bettert than my wife's "juicer" which wasted so much produce. This makes use of the whole food. Orange sorbet was so easy. Made it 5 minutes out of the box. Delicious. This was a better deal than I could find anywhere else and is very all inclusive. If you are going to get a Vitamix - this is the deal to get!!

I hemmed and hawed for years - decades, maybe - over buying a Vitamix due to the very high price. However, having bought it, I am so happy with it. It handles all sorts of kitchen tasks with ease, and is a breeze to clean. I wish I had bought it long ago. I love that it's made in USA and keeping some of our people employed, too.

We have tried many blenders during 37 years of marriage and I am pretty sure if we could get them into the Vitamix it would pulverize them into dust. Does everything you want it to better and faster than you would believe. With a 7 year warranty this will be the last blender we buy, wish we hadn't wasted the money on all of the others.

After my mother loaned me her Vitamix for a year, she decided she wanted it back. My husband and I had been using it on a daily basis for green smoothies. In addition, I was making soups, dressings, etc. several times a week. It had become part of the family! I researched Blendtec vs Vitamix on several websites, many had video demonstrations. I have two friends with Blendtecs and one with a Vitamix -- all love what they have purchased. I talked with the manufacturers who were very helpful and not pushy. In the end, I decided on the Vitamix. The moment I plugged it in and made that first green smoothie, I knew I made the right decision! The base was solid and stable, and the motor purred! Also, the Sam's Club price includes everything you need for less than if you purchased items separately from the manufacturer.

I began having second thoughts about the money I'd invested after placing my order. I've only had my mixer for a few weeks and I've used it at least every other day. It's better then I expected. Does everything it claims. Worth every penny. Glad I bought it

We are very pleased with our purchase of the Vitamix 5200. This is an excellent blender and has all of the accessories you need. It is very powerful and versatile and well worth the investment. It did take a little longer to ship than expected (but it was shipped from California to Ohio). It was packaged very securely so that along with the value made it worth the wait!

I own a Vitamix and value it greatly. I bought the 5200 set for my daughter and her husband, who are into growing their own veggies, chickens for eggs, goats for milk. I paid more for my basic Vitamix than this set cost with all the accessories that came with it. It really is a great value. There isn't a better blender/mixer/juicer on the market. If they are going to do it, do it right!
