Vitamix 5300 Reviews

Most owners find the Vitamix 5300 a long-lasting workhorse, with many still using one after a decade or more and often bought refurbished. It blends smoothies and fibrous produce very smooth. Downsides are noise, and parts wearing out eventually, such as container bearings and drive sockets. The low-profile container is awkward for thick or small batches.

Of the 45 reviews with a clear verdict, 53% are positive, 24% mixed and 22% negative. The praise mentioned most is solid build. The most common complaint is broke down.

The praise reviewers mention most: solid build (7 reviews), smooth blends (5 reviews) and powerful (4 reviews). For example: Has had their Vitamix for 12 years and it is still going strong; the speed knob trick fixes the jolt on startup.

The complaints reviewers mention most: broke down (4 reviews), hard to clean (1 review) and loud (1 review). For example: Their 5300 reconditioned in 2017 now stalls instantly whenever the speed is changed, even with nothing attached.

It's how well reviewed Vitamix 5300 is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a appliance needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed appliances here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
