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.

Replaced an Oster (old) I know, there is no comparison except, what what taking almost 15 minutes to blend up (smoothies) now takes less than 60 seconds. I use the order recommended and yes I do have to use the helper stick especially if most of my content is frozen. But still 60 seconds and I have my smoothie ready to drink. It is amazing. Of course this produce will perform as well as the user pays attention to the instructions. So if you throw stuff in willy nilly and are frustrated try reading the instructions and how to build the pile in the blender to get optimal results. It is much quieter than my old blender and even the new cheap blender I got because it said it would, but it didn't. Don't waste your time and money. Buy right the first time. The warrenty is why we purchased this. The results are stellar.

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 !

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.

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...

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 have used 3 other brands of blenders, with Vitamix being the only one that ground seeds (chia, raspberries, strawberries, etc). without knowing they were there to begin with. It is an awesome machine. I’d been putting off getting one bc they are expensive but I found out not for the work it does. Sam’s Club had a great sale offering $80 off; I snagged one!

I have been wanting vitamix for a long that because it was a little pricy, I had to really think about getting it, when I saw the sale I could not pass it off. This is a great small appliance to have! It’s really a big difference from what I had, it saves me time in the kitchen from making smoothie, dips and different beverages. I love the fact that there is no assembly required and easy to clean... Love it!

This blender works like no other blender I have ever owned. I looked at the more expensive models but found this one can do everything they can do with a little work on my part. Having gone through several blenders, finding one with a warranty this strong will keep it on my counter for years. And... they are made in Ohio, hve been since 1921.
