Vitamix 5200 Reviews

Has used the 5200 for over a decade making milkshake-thick smoothies; there is a learning curve with cavitation and the tamper, and an overheat breaker trips if pushed too hard.

Says to get the 5200 on sale: smoothies and milkshakes are restaurant grade and their daily kale, nut and chia smoothie is silky smooth.

Got a new-in-box 5200 for $140 as their first Vitamix; its smoothies have much better texture than their hand immersion blender.

Bought the refurbished 5200 for vegan cooking and has had zero complaints, calling it amazing for hummus.

Their 5200 from Amazon arrived and has already made the silkiest tomato soup and great açaí bowls; they don't miss their Ninja.

Their 5200 makes perfect, silky smooth peanut, almond and cashew butter, though pistachio butter needed a food processor.

Says the narrow 5200 container does very well with small volumes and little splashing, though it is tall.

Chose the 5200 as a single smoothie maker, paid a little over $400, and says its first use was excellent.

Bought a new 5200 for about $330 and is impressed: its narrow base handles large and single-serve smoothies, giving silky mixed berry and kale smoothies with no seeds.

Makes lots of single and two-serving smoothies, plus small quantities of dips, sauces and dressings, in their 5200.

Got the 5200 on a sale after a Ninja container cracked and finds it incredible so far, with velvety smoothies.

Finds from their own experience with a 5200 and bagged kale with stems that it breaks the greens down finely.

Makes smoothies in their 5200 with whole kale, stems and all, and notices no weird textures.

Chose the 5200 after lots of research and loves it, valuing the tall narrow container's vortex for small batches.

Paid 550 euros for a new 5200 but green smoothies stay slightly sandy and skins from frozen strawberries remain; their old 80 euro blender isn't much worse, though it is otherwise a good blender.

Says their Vitamix paid for itself many times over making and freezing baby food, and makes killer smoothies that put the smooth in smoothie.

Bought a 5200 for their mom and makes smoothies every day with great consistency and no chunks; much better than a Nutribullet.

Makes peanut butter every second week and macadamia butter in their 5200 in one to two minutes without stopping or overheating.

Makes smoothies almost daily in the 5200 and says it works flawlessly.
