Bought the 5300 in March 2023, returned first unit 2 weeks later due to motor issues. Received new unit beginning of April and returning again just 4 months later due to another motor malfunctioning. Blend simple foods such as yogurt, fruits and veggies, nothing crazy or overly hard or large. Very disappointed in quality of Vitamix so far as I had higher expectations from their products. Going on third unit after only 5 months.

I have been using my Certified Reconditioned 5300 vitamix for a week and it has been great. I use it every morning for my green smoothie. I have more energy and do not feel sluggish at the beginning of the day. I am in the process of making soy milk now. I can't wait to see how that comes out and if I will be able to make Almond milk also. It fits nicely under my counter which I really like because I don't like having to hall out something to use it every day. The wide base pitcher is also so much easier to scrap things out from the tines. Thanks Vitamix

qqI finally pulled the trigger and bought myself this Vitamix blender after wanting one for several years! I was so excited when it arrived yesterday. Indeed it does fit under my cabinets but only for storage and without the plunger thing in the blender. I have most of my appliances put up on shelving in my garage but this baby is going to be proudly displayed on my countertop! Afterall, it IS the mack daddy of all blenders! I made a smoothie this morning and it was awesome!!!

Quite possibly thee best money anyone as ever spent anywhere!!! I've had my 5300 for a month now and have used it every single day. I still marvel at it's power, ease of use, end result and easy clean-up. This is an investment in a new lifestyle. Never, 'just' a blender.

Bought this Vitamix mainly to make smoothies. So disappointed. I have to tamp the ingredients the entire time because the 5300 does not pull the ingredients down into its blade to swirl around. Therefore it not only doesn't do its job, but the smoothies are chunky, not smooth!! Also, no benefit getting the lower container as it still does not fit under my counter! I want my 6300 back!!!!

I bought this model 5300 two months ago during one of Vitamix's "flash" sales for what seemed like at the time a very good price. Last night we plugged it in and tried to turn it on. It tripped all the electrical circuits in the kitchen which had to be reset. Once we got our kitchen outlets reset, the blender would not turn. The base now has an odor like burnt electrical. We've owned many Vitamix blenders over the year and never had any major issues until now.

The vitamix is the BEST ever blender! We are very happy with this product and even happier with the price! The Vitamix makes all the seeds, ice, and lumps into a yummy smoothy with zero lumps. If you hate the seeds and bits of green that are usually left in your smoothy, then this is the blender for you. You literally get smoother drinks in lest than a minute! Bam!

Love this blender. So much better than my ninja blender and I loved than. This blender does a great job making smoothies and margaritas. I really don’t write reviews, but want to review this one. The price at Sams was a good deal. I was looking at the other models of Vitamix blenders and they were a lot higher in price. This one does the same thing as the higher ones. I do recommend this blender.

I bought the Vitamix 5300 as my home blender, I do have other equipment for my restaurants. After using it on daily basis to see if it will pass the daily strenuous restaurant load for 10 days in a row, now I regret spending all the money I spent on the other equipment I have. This model is not the biggest capacity nor power that Vitamix offers on the larger models,. Can you imagine how much more I would be pleased if I added the larger model to my list of equipment in my restaurant kitchens ? I am beyond impressed. It actually does what it says. All I can say is, BUY IT you will not regret it at all.

I bought a reconditioned Vitamix 5300 2 weeks ago and have used it everyday since. I am nursing a sick relative and he requires soft food so the blender has saved the day in that I can cook food and regulate texture depending on how me relationship is is able to swallow on a given day. It has made my life so much easier and clean up is a cinch! Love my Vitamix!
