Rated 5 out of 5 by Pearl from Vitamix Makes A HUGE Difference!!! I'm still in awe at how powerful the Vitamix is, truly amazing! My smoothies are so super smooth & creamy, will be moving on to bigger/better recipes soon. I've made number berry, green, coffee smoothies ... the Vitamix is definitely a life changer, and it looks fantastic on the counter, got mine in white, just b/c am a little old fashion & prefer white kitchen appliances. I've joined a couple Vitamix Facebook groups; they share a wealth of information, only wish I would have got this beast a few years ago, but it's never too late. If you're riding the fence line whether to indulge in a Vitamix, go for it, you won't be sorry . . . Cheers!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by marciawxyz from I Love It! I used my Vitamix EVERYDAY! For breakfast, I blend a lemon or orange with 4 glasses of water; green smoothie for lunch, and salad dressing for dinner! It blends chia seeds, celery and leafy greens like kale and collards and frozen fruits like bananas, nice and smooth! We are vegans and I am raw vegan and the Vitamix has really enhanced our lifestyle! East to clean too! I wish we purchased it years ago! A standard blender does not compare! At first we were surprised that the container was plastic and not glass but after using it we were impressed and very satisfied! We highly recommend it to people who make green smoothies and dressings! A+!

Rated 4 out of 5 by MaggieBee from Love it but would prefer a glass container I’ve had my Vitamix for a little over five years. It’s the one product I use every single day. It blends our smoothies better than any other blender I ever owned. I also love to make soups using it. However, I’m a bit concerned to have hot liquid in a plastic container due to all the negative research on plastics releasing toxic chemicals. Please make glass containers. I would probably update my Vitamix if I could get a glass container bc the container is the only negative thing I have to say about the machine. The plastic gets really cloudy and almost dirty looking over time. Overall though, it’s totally worth it. My family loves it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by JohnZastrow from Perfect set of features After a few months using it a few times/ week we've decided this was money well spent. Zero issues, cleans up better than expected, does a great job with everything we've put into it, and it's easy to use with enough adjustment for what we need. We have done lots of smoothies, various nut butters, and (ahem) a marg or 3, and it's handled them all fairly gracefully. Getting raw kale to to grind up smooth enough took some fiddling, but we put in first without too much other stuff and it did fine. I think I do still wish the vessel was glass for durability reasons. But no issues so far with the plastic with careful, gentle washing outside of the dishwasher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jim MsKraken from 7 years and still blending We bought one 7 years ago and still it blends like new. Why am I reviewing it now? I was buying another one for my son and came across the reviews and thought I would chime in. My only complaint would be to make it a bit more dummy proof. You can accidental leave it on high and if you turn it on with the top off everything in the blender will be on the ceiling - or your face depending on where you are standing when you flip the switch. Yes, it happened once to us (not me I am glad to say) and it took hours to clean up and we actually laughed the entire time - and we have 12 foot ceilings!!! I wish I had a photo to share so everyone could share the laughs.

Rated 4 out of 5 by sandishore from Powerhouse I had my Vitamix 5000 for nearly 20 years and was very sorry when I killed it by turning it on with a spoon inside. I tried to replace it with a blender in order to save money, but that did not work out. The new 5200 works as well at smoothies, chutneys, soups, etc. and is still very easy to clean. However, it seems louder than the old machine despite now sitting on a sound absorbing pad. Also, the lid is much harder to remove because the side flanges are slightly shorter than the 5000, and the center insert to the lid rattles because it does not fit snugly. Fortunately, the 5000 lid fits the 5200.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mumbi from Powerful. Easy. Smart looking. I make a smoothie every morning. I usually use all frozen ingredients as well as protein powder and ground flax. With my KichenAid, I would mix my dry ingredients with coconut water by hand in a cup and then cajole my blender to finish the process. I used my KichenAid for 5 years. It was so much work. With my Vitamix, I use the dry mix container to grind enough flax seeds for several days. I blend the dry ingredients with coconut water for a few seconds on low, then I add frozen greens and fruits and blend for about 60 seconds. So easy!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jo_Dan from Best X-mas gift ever! My partner has been talking about the Vitamix ever since we have been together. His father, & best friend all have one. I know for him to get one would be a big step for both of us. Not only as a couple but that idea that we could be able to afford it! To him, its that 1st stamp into middle class. We both grew up pretty good life but to most it would have seemed hard. Once we both received great Jobs/Careers I knew that the next step to make him feel great was to get a Vitamix! As silly as it might sounds, it was just want his needed for that bust of confidents. Ha the Payment plans helps so much more than you can even image. Thank you!
