I bought this vitamix as a gift and it’s just as great as the one I bought myself 12 years ago. (That’s still going strong, btw) It really is a game changer in the kitchen. We once remodeled our kitchen and used the vitamix and a microwave to cook all our meals for a month. I bring it with me on family vacations! It really does do everything they say it does. It is awesome!

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.

Wasn't sure whether to spend this much on a "blender", but I did and the smoothies are awesome. Now I can get my daily greens in something other than a salad, which I eat virtually every night for dinner. In a smoothie, I can barely taste the spinach or kale and with frozen fruit (berries, bananas), almond/cashew milk, whey protein powder, and NO added sugar, I can make a yummy and nutritious smoothie in this beast of a blender.

I’m very pleased with my purchase! I made green ranch dressing with fresh veggies and herbs. It’s so powerful you have to be careful not to liquify the ingredients. But for fruit smoothies that’s awesome! Can’t wait to make soups, hummus, and nut butters.

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.

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.

It’s been about a month and it’s used everyday for my Clean eating. Smoothies and soups blended easily. Easy to clean and to use. Not loud like other blenders. Fits nicely under the cabinet and love the off on switch so no need to unplug every time. Light but sturdy and great size for making 2+ servings for entire family.

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!

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...

Previously had the 5200. This one has lower clearance with the wider jar, but I think I prefer the narrow jar of the 5200 for smaller batches. The 5300 is at least as powerful and has has a pulse button. Both the 5200 and the 5300 are outstanding machines well worth the price.
