I'm in love with my new Vitamix. I use it almost every day. From whipping normally heavy batters into light & airy glory to grinding oat flour/coffee to veg heavy smoothies, this does it all! It's an alternative foodie's best bud.

This blender is amazing! I've made soup in it and it comes out hot, steam and all. It also blends things like whole charrots, potatoes and oranger extremely well. Yes its pretty expensive, but its well worth it for all the things you make and blend in it.

I called Vitamix directly since the box was sealed with a label saying quality control checked which I had never seen on a new Vitamix carton that you would see, for example, department store. I gave the representative the serial # and he said that it was a certified refurbished unit. I asked if it still had a 7 year warranty, since refurbished models only have a 5 year warranty. He said it was 7 year warranty. The price at Sam's is still below what a refurbished 5300 model is, but that fact should be noted in the description on the website. that it is a refurbished model.

By the time I was married, I had already owned more than a dozen blenders (Blender Queen, Breville, Cuisinart, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Oster, Vitamix, and Waring Commercial). I never owned--but have used--Blendtec machines. Over the years and after thousands of blend cycles with the above mix of blenders, the Vitamix remains my top choice. My Vitamixes have been utterly dependable (going back to my 1974 Model 3600 that still works well); are backed by top customer service; are straightforward to use; and produce the best product, be it the smoothest of smoothies, cold and hot soups, chunky dips, nut butters, or perfectly pureed sauces that pass the sieve test. I use my 5300 every day, and it never fails to impress, especially in an age of cheaply made, poorly performing appliances.

Working great thus far!

Our family uses the vitamix 2-3 times per day on average making smoothies and smoothy bowls with almond milk, frozen bananas, frozen fruit and veggies. We used a regular blender for years, but we heard this was the next level. Our machine has been in twice now for repairs. It is under warranty, but it’s been the same issue and honestly we are not pleased. The Vitamix rep said our warrenty last through 2024. Our only option is to upgrade our machine and they will give us a $100 voucher for ours if we upgrade to a fancier model vitamix. I would love to hear from other vitamix owners. Have you upgraded to the pro series? Was it worth it for you?

I purchased this blender in hopes that it would be as good (or better) than the 5200 that I've had for 8 years - which is absolutely amazing. I was excited to try out the low profile container and have the extra .2hp motor. While blending my daily smoothie (which I prefer to be the consistency of frozen yogurt), the low profile container design had me using the tamper nonstop trying to get the blender to "catch" my ingredients so that they would blend. The dial also seemed a bit janky (i.e. it when dialing back down to 1 it seemed to have a lag, then an audible drop in power before leveling out). The entire time I could smell a faint electrical burning smell as if I was putting a strain on the motor. Sure enough, half way through the process it shut off due to overheating. I can not imagine trying to make a nut butter or anything remotely worthy of putting a legit strain on the motor. I returned it the very next day and bought another 5200. I'm really hoping that I received a lemon and that their quality standards have not dropped because Vitamix's products and customer service have been nothing shy of outstanding!

This Vitamix blender is a beast. It has a 7 year warranty on everything. Free shipping both ways if it needs repaired. Made in Ohio I believe. Phenomenal customer service! I called when I first got mine so they could register it and adjust the date for my warranty because it was manufactured a year and a half before i bought it. The lady was surprised because she said they usually don’t sit on the store shelf more than 6 months. I submitted my receipt to Vitamix and my warranty started from the date on the receipt. This blender does a heck of a job making smoothies and protein shakes. Very very powerful!!!! Can’t beat the warranty. Comes with a mixing stick if you need to mix anything up while it is running.

I bought that 2 weeks ago when my husband and I went shopping at Sams club, I could not believe how great that blender was. I call it "Monster". The first time I used it I made a superfood power drink, mixed al the greens included moringa, kale, fruits, protein powder, chia seeds, hemps seeds, flex seeds. OMG! It was a real, my family could not guess the ingredients in that drink. I tried the soup with my own recipe, I am telling you, everything they said about the Vitamix are real, NO LIE! BUY IT, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. I KEPT ASKING MYSELF WHY I WAIT THAT LONG BEFORE I GET IT!

I love how this works! It is an amazing blender. Although we only had it for one week and it started turning itself off. I have not done anything but smoothies and hot chocolate in it. We are currently working with the company to fix the problem. I am hopeful that it is something simple and they have been good to work with. Just disappointed that we got one with a problem. Hopefully after we get it fixed/replaced we will only think it is amazing and not have any other problems.
