I just cannot get over how well this works. Very well thought out design. It’s vibrationally isolated on 3, possibly 4 levels so it’s quiet and doesn’t drive a lot of energy into the countertop.Simple operation. Huge power. Over-spec’ed and overbuilt. Thick power cable.I use a blender about daily and have gone through several others over the years. This is so remarkably superior.I also bought the stainless carafe and love it

I use it pretty often, and it builds to last.

Blender sent without blades... for 600.00 I expect all the promised parts along with a manual. Waste of time!

I was satisfied for years with my Oster12 speed blender but it was about to wear out after regular use making smoothies, and that’s about all I could use it for. I never had a Vitamix but had many friends and relatives over the years tell me it’s the one, so I bit the bullet. I read many reviews and was looking for some thing that would make a good plant milk too, which means nuts get pulverized to smooth consistency. I have an almond cow, so I was curious how well a Vitamix would do. After reading many reviews, the 5200 was what seemed to have the best user satisfaction from repeat Vitamix owners, saying with the narrower jar that particle size was smoother. My first test was a smoothie using some frozen fruit, roasted almonds (which would be too hard to make plant milk out of), Chia seed, frozen fruit and spinach. I followed the instructions for order of loading and running time, and was quite impressed that the, nuts and seeds were basically smooth as cream. Sure beat my almond cow on those almonds! Cleaning isn’t as thorough with just whooshing water at high speed, so I do have to wipe the walls down inside the jug to remove plastered protein powder. Can’t take it apart to get it the blades bottom. Occasionally a few chia seeds still pop up in another batch of some thing so it’s not getting it off the bottom of the blades that well, but it’s food. The noise is remarkably loud and the power is like my worm-drive circular saw powered up on the kitchen counter (Tim Allen would be impressed). I felt like I needed a jet pilot’s license to operate it the first week I had it! I have had it about a month now and make a huge smoothie almost every day and follow the instructions on ramping up/down and using high speed to keep motor cooled. It still gets that hot electrical smell so finally tried making soup running it on high for less than 5.5minutes as instructed to see if that would “break it in” or just break it. -it still has that hot electrical smell but it’s not broken. Well, sounds like Vitamix warranty is solid and there’s years left on it so hopefully it’ll go away and not a sign that it’s burning up. It should come with hearing protection, but I’m impressed with the machine other than that.2023 update- Made in China without Quality Control- I had to send it in for repair., It was wanting to walk off the counter at about speed 4. Vitamix took it back quite agreeably - the drive shaft was wobbling and they replaced that and the container.. It doesn’t smell like it’s burning anymore but I don’t think it’s fixed that well because it still runs a little rough from 4 to 7 before you get to high. I called in again…They tell me to just get it to high right away so I do and to use the pusher so I do…. So, why have all those “useless” lower speeds then?

upgraded 1 star to 5 star due to customer service - called Vitamix and they said it is under warrenty and they will send a shipping label and I can send it to them get it fixed and back at no cost to me (other than the trip to the post office) - so I am fine with that - had not registered the thing and expected a bunch of excuses and lecture on what I should have done - none of that - very pleased with the company for standing behind the product and love to use it when it works!!***********We got our first Vitamix from Costco and fell in love. When working properly the Vitamix is awesome and we have used the first one to make soups and sauces and smoothies. The first one started having a problem with the gears not catching and the machine sounding terrible - burnt wire/electrical smell coming from the machine while it was still working sometimes - have now seen another review mentioning this smell - then it stopped to work.Since we liked and used it so much, we decided to chalk the first one failing up to a bad individual machine and decided to give it another chance.The second one is now acting up the same way after only one year and maybe 30 uses. Very disappointed and now thinking this must be a pattern with Vitamix, maybe gears produced abroad with poor quality control? It says engineered and assembled in USA but God knows where the parts are actually made. Really feeling cheated for the money we spent on this and feel a fool for trusting them a second time.*************
