It's not as loud as my previous Vitamix. I like the low profile for storage but I like the performance of the less wide base in my previous Vitamix better. I have to start and stop more and push the ingredients around more with the low profile wide base.

My parents had a vitamix blender before I moved out and I absolutely loved it. I figured it was about time I invest in my own. I use this blender all the time and I am still learning how to use it proficiently with different foods. It is a bit loud though, but I don't mind.

I like the low profile container. I find it superior to my old Vitamix tall container. I like that I can put the container on top and the motor unit and they neatly fit under the top kitchen cabinets. Plus in use it blends frozen items much better than the older tall container requiring much less tamping if any at all. It's also easier to clean than the tall one. The last unit lasted 8 years of near daily use. In addition the new base is red giving a nice pop of color to the kitchen. Mixed feelings on the power switch. It prevents parasitic power draw with is good however after throwing the switch it takes a few seconds before you can use the blender. Nowhere near a deal breaker, I don't think it even amounts to an annoyance, just different.

Had it for a month when I was blending hummus, increasing speed gradually from 2, and the motor just quit. After a lengthy sulk it did resume operation. It also is prone to the same air bubble issue my original blender was prone to, even when the liquids go in plentifully and first. Overall, it's a decent but not great purchase.

Ordering was easy and simple, delivery was fast! I had a Vitamix blender over a decade ago (loved it) and discovered 2 unopened pitchers while cleaning out my garage. So, I ordered this blender make use of my old pitchers. To my delight, the old pitchers fit the new base!

We picked up a Vitamix 5300 after a Ninja blender began to show its age. After all the impressive reviews, we were disappointed to learn it was all power and no refinement, not to mention being noisier than most shop tools! Plus, you can't pour the blended product without removing the top (unlike my old Ninja). And cleaning was not fun due to the integrated blade. Finally, the 5300 went back, and I picked up a new Ninja to replace it.

I use my Vitamix on a daily basis it seems since receiving it. Sometimes twice a day! I love the smoothies I have made in it along with hummus etc Super easy to clean up. Love the color red of mine. It seems powerful enough for my recipes. I look forward to making hot soups in it this fall/winter season.

I love it! But it is noisy !

The best blender I’ve ever used. Smoothies are creamy and well blended. I highly recommend it
