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...

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'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'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 !

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.

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.

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 the Vitamix a month ago and I love it. My smoothies are perfectly blended with no chunks or seeds. I had a Ninja before this and the Vitamix works better and it’s easier to clean. I’m looking forward to finally being able to make my own almond milk with this high powered blender.

We picked up a Vitamix 5300 after a Ninja blender began to show its age. After all the impressive reviews, we were disappointed to learn it was all power and no refinement, not to mention being noisier than most shop tools! Plus, you can't pour the blended product without removing the top (unlike my old Ninja). And cleaning was not fun due to the integrated blade. Finally, the 5300 went back, and I picked up a new Ninja to replace it.

I had the 5200 for over 10 years before the motor finally burned out. I use it almost every day, sometimes twice a day. When looking to order a new one, the 5300 seemed to have more capabilities. I used it over 2 weeks, and found it to be louder and did not think it was as powerful. Also, i worried about having an electric click switch for off/on vs the manual switch on the 5200 - seems like something that could need repair with as much use as I get from the vitamix. I opted to return it and order a new 5200.
