Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The carafe is 100% perfectly shaped. This functions far better than all other vitamix carafes (aka containers). Works everytime. Noise level is not too bad. I rarely need to use the tamper but you may sometimes have to use it. Blending power is tops, ...  Read More

Mainly, i use the 5200 to make amazing sorbet as an amazing summertime thirst quencher that really cools me. The classic models of vitamix seem to be easy to get away with and the reviews to watch out for are the ones that claim they received a used m...  Read More



Cons

Gotta disassemble to clean it properly, and gotta buy their extra cost wrench. The vitamix has a burning smell when used. Cheap styrofoam packing. The blender sounds like the spline is ready to rip out when put into high speed.

The vitamix doesn't blend well. After a lot of blending, i was still left with frozen strawberry bits in my smoothie.

Quality


This has a super strong motor and it is very well made.


It feels solid and durable, ready to handle everything from frozen fruits to tough leafy greens.


The powerful motor and sharp blades effortlessly pulverize even the toughest ingredients, leaving no chunks or gritty textures.


Instructions are to unplug the machine and allow it to sit for at least 45 minutes to reset the shut-off.

Price


Although i did not buy this on amazon, it appears amazon offers a better price than i paid!


Not going to drive all over the place for a mixer and waste precious $$$ on gas.


Yes the price tag is a bit steep, but i think of it like an investment.


Pricey but again it is the best.

Shipping


This highly anticipated vitamix 5200 blender arrived today, even earlier than amazon originally promised.


I ordered this blender and it arrived really quickly.

Packaging/appearance


Everything came in perfect condition and properly packaged.


Pulled it out of the box, grabbed some ice and mixers and made margaritas.


The only thing i would say i did not like was that they sent it in a brown box and i didn’t get the original box it came in…kin...  Read More

Competitiveness


The 5200 is good for smaller batches, eg a one-cup serving, since the carafe is narrower than larger models, but still just as powerful.


My cuisinart food processor did a good job with peanut butter, but the vitamix is so much better.


Others you buy in walmart, macys, etc don’t compare.
