5200 Professional Grade Blender for Smoothies, Food Grinder and Emulsifier, 64oz Pitcher, Black

Owning a Vitamix blender was a goal for ages, and I finally got this one almost 3 years ago. This awesome blender still works like it did when it was new. I’m a vegan and the value of an excellent blender really comes into play every day. This blender is so fast and powerful that it has no trouble making things like silky hummus and cashew cream. Smoothies blend thoroughly in just a few seconds. This Vitamix lets me make my own nut milks and turn pumpkin seeds or lentils into tofu. It’s opened a whole new world of cooking. This blender is so top notch that if you don’t want something blended into the consistency of a shake, like pesto for example, then you need to set it to low speed and don’t walk away to load the dishwasher or something. Just wait a moment and you’re done. Clean up is no problem with this Vitamix. They’re built with a smooth general surface and don’t have annoying gaps that fill with liquids. Just a heads up on use - I start mine on the lowest speed then turn up the power to blend. It only takes a second and avoids the jolt of 0-100 instantly. In any case, I haven’t experienced any sort of leakage with this awesome Vitamix and everything fits perfectly. Three years in and I’m still so happy with my Vitamix blender. Never had any problems with it. There is a reason that Vitamix has a loyal fan base. Yes, they’re more expensive upfront but it’s saved me a small fortune too. I haven’t needed to replace or repair anything. Prior to getting the Vitamix, my blenders were not the inexpensive type and they still only lasted a year at most. Vitamix is the best blender you can buy.

It's the best blender without any bells and whistles. Pricey but again it is the BEST. It is THE restaurants' standard peace of equipment that last decades under heavy use, and restaurants will use this machine more in a week than you will in a lifetime. You most-likely will never need another blender (at least not for 15-20+ years) The design coupled with its power gives you smoothe and most consistent results. If you get into making, smoothies, purees, nuttbutters, or any blending (like soups, refried beans, and even hummus) you can't get much better outside of some fancy setting/buttons (which I find unnecessary) and maybe some safety features/failsafes (which again, I also don't find necessary, because a good rule of thumb too not stick your hand in it while on the motor...) The only con I have is it is tall and usually doesn't fit in spaces between the counter and cupboard when you put the blender on the motor. Easy solution just pull the motor out so it isn't under the cupboard. I do wish my cupboard are hight so i can have the whole blend just chilling on the counter like my Toaster. But I just do that with the bottom motor and store rest of the blender away. I would have gone for a shorter blender, but this size gives me opinions making it less of a hassle when I do need to blend more or if i need to make more than 1 or 2 smoothies. Plus I find the narrowing design towards the bottom of the blender helps with the product. Personally this size is just right for all my bending projects and it fits in most standard dishwashers, if blitzing some soapy water doesn't already do the trick. So IF you are finding yourself needing a bender, wish your smoothies felt more like SMOOTHies rather and Slushie from a certain drive-in, or want a better consistency for purees and have a easier time makingemulsions . Your journey ends here. Disclaimers: -Obviously this an investment, but if you want a great appliance this is a "buy once cry one" kind of purchase. If you DO NOT have a blender, think of how (or if) a blender be helpful to you. If your not satisfied with your cheaper bender, it's probably because it isn't a vitamix or at least not the 5200 -With the Vitmix 5200 blender MAKE A HABIT of always turning the dial to 1 and flip the switch to "Variable" before and after turning it on. The power of this bad boy need a little bit of responsibility. Flipping it on while it is switched on "High" or dialed to a "10" (especially without a lid) can splatter all over the place. -This blender is also loud, you won't suffer earing damage but you'll get an earful if a baby is sleeping in the next room. Also, Late night smoothies can also run the risk of head trauma if you have a wife... blend responsibly.

The Vitamix 5200 is hands-down the best blender I’ve ever owned. It’s super powerful — it blends everything to the perfect smooth consistency, whether it’s smoothies, soups, or frozen shakes. I’ve even made hot soup right in the blender, and it comes out creamy and steaming in minutes! It’s really easy to use with just a few simple controls, and cleanup is a breeze — just a little soap and warm water, and it cleans itself. It’s a bit of an investment, but the quality is outstanding and you can tell it’s built to last. I have been using mine since 2021 without any issues. If you’re serious about cooking or just want perfect smoothies every time, this is 100% worth it. Total game changer!

Lemon Scent who sold this blender are a fantastic company, I was initially disappointed that this blender came with an American plug and chose to return it. But Lemon Scent bent over backwards to meet my needs, they will supply an adapter to use in a UK kitchen. I purchased a Vitamix blender many years ago and fell in love with this versatile machine. Easy to use and clean. Worth the investment for sure. Thank you Lemon Scent.

Es de excelente calidad a mi mamá le encanto además llego antes de la fecha que decía que llegaría

Excellent product, easy operation, cleanup is a breeze. Strong motor, Ideal for individual portions.

We’ve had many mixers before, but this one is an industrial machine. I’ve never had one so strong and durable and effective and still quiet by the way, it is designed. Very functional.

This thing BLENDS y'all. I put it through the paces every morning for the last two months with a fairly fibrous smoothie (frozen spinach, flax, frozen berries, etc.) and it blends it to what I thought was an impossibly-smooth state. Also have used to with hot cooked items to create sauces (e.g. roasted veggies, curries) and it handles those extremely well. It also cleans very easily. I have two complaints: - With thicker substances, the whole thing vibrates violently. Enough that it starts moving across the counter! I need to hold it in place so that it doesn't send itself to the floor. I worry what impact this has on the life of the blender as well, but they have a decent warranty (7 years). - The Variable speed setting does not max out at the same speed as the High setting. I exclusively used the Variable setting for a few days until I discovered this! Now that I know it's fine, I just use High when I need more power, but I didn't expect this to be the case. That might be a "me" issue. Overall very happy with it. I'm also quite sensitive to sound, but this is bearable enough on the highest Variable setting. High is a bit much after a minute, but I can get through it.
