I debated on a lot of blenders and decided to just jump in and splurge on this one. Such an awesome purchase, my kids ask me for smoothies every day and I sneak in all kinds of vegetables and healthy seeds, teehee! My own veggie/fruit consumption has gone way up and that’s the best part for me. I never worry that it can’t handle whatever I decide to throw at it. I read that the warranty is really great but hopefully I won’t have to use it; so far so good! And the cleaning by blending soap/water is the BEST. No scrubbing or working around the blade. Woohoo!

I received a vitamix years ago and it is well worth the money ! This one day sale was outstanding as it was half what my husband paid. So I bought one as a wedding gift for a family member and did the bill to ship to, and another as a Christmas gift. This blender is used on the food channels, in retaurants, smoothir bars, and I have made everything from a fruit"ice cream" to tomato and basil soup during the cold months.

I've been wanting a Vitamix for quite some time and after having this a short time, I would say it is worth the investment. Yes, this is a pricier product compared to other blenders on the market, but in my opinion it is well worth the extra money to have such a quality product in my kitchen; something with lots of power to do the job. I've used it mostly for my protein drink smoothies at this point, but it's an obvious cut above the competition and will perform as needed for the future.

I bought this through Sam’s club on sale. It is the best blender I will ever own. The sale price was excellent, but now that I know what this blender can do, I would’ve definitely bought it at the regular price. I’ve owned others that can’t compare. Don’t waste your money!

I finally found this on sale for a price that didn't break the bank! It hasn't disappointed. Super easy to use and clean. I've used it pretty much everyday since I bought it about a month ago. I make "smoothies" which turn out more like sorbet (even better!) It is loud- fair warning. And I have to use the tamper the entire time - but that is because I'm pretty much making a sorbet-like ice cream out of frozen fruit and greens- it gets very dense and I have to move the fruit around myself because it is so thick. I enjoy this everyday! I hope you'll enjoy your as much as I enjoy mine.

I have been wanting a vitamix for years and I finally decided to get one when I saw it on sale for $80 off. My aunt has had one for over 20 years and it’s still working great. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks and I’ve mainly been doing my morning smoothies but I can’t wait to try making other recipes soon.

My family has really enjoyed this machine. It is like no other “blender“ that we have ever had. It is extremely powerful. With the power comes speed of processing which is also nice. it takes no time to blend frozen fruit for a smoothie. We also use it for other applications such as making hummus. Although the price tag is high, it is well worth it. Consider it a blender and a food processor to help justify your purchase. It also comes with a several year warranty.

I've always wanted a Vitamix. I can drink a salad much faster than I can eat one. My only negative comment is how loud the blender is. It's like having a lawn mower in the kitchen, and I have to wear hearing protectors when operating it. The neighbors know the noise, and so they know what I'm having for lunch. Something blended !

We love the vitamix. We had one before that was over 20 years old and was finally starting to give out. I was so excited to find one in the same red as my kitchenaid mix master... but anyway - this new one is SOOO awesome!! And it was a great price...

Bought this lower profile for my daughter and her family. Same as mine (5200) but shorter pitcher, same volume. Fits better under variety of cabinets. Same great motor. They love it. Shop around. I think the 5300 has a model# change so ask them then shop around or wait for their sales.
