   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.

   I purchased this blender primarily to make tomato sauce from our garden tomatoes in the summer, but I like it so much that I find myself using it frequently to make fruit smoothies as well, which are wonderfully frothy and done in less than a minute. It has a powerful motor which is extremely effective. The blender is easy to clean. It doesn’t fit under my counter but that’s okay; I store it there anyway, with the jar beside the base; it looks just fine there. I’m glad I chose this style because I feel that the tall slender jar is more efficient at blending.

   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.

   I use it daily for thick smoothies and it blows my old Nutribullet out of the water.

   My husband researched for hours to decide on this one. We use it for smoothies every day. We fill the cup all the way to the top with frozen or fresh fruits, spinach, chia, walnuts, ginger, etc., and the blade liquifies it all. The blender is easy to rinse out. It mostly comes clean with just a rinse, but we designated a kitchen brush just for that purpose. We wash it in the dishwasher about once a week. It will make sorbets by throwing frozen fruit into the blender with some chilled coconut milk. The blender has a motor similar to a lawn mower’s power, so it can make HOT steaming liquid soup in 6 minutes. No joke. We used it like this 3 times, but it was too much trouble. I also want some chunks of food to chew, so we felt it was lacking in that.

   We use it 5 days a week for smoothies and occasionally for fruit ice cream (chill coconut milk and other ingredients for best results), whipped cream, etc. We’re both still very happy with it after a year and a half. Great quality. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

   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.

   I am not – WAS not – much of a “blender guy”, but the Vitamix 5200 changed that. And even though I am typing this all out in a product review, where that sort of sentiment belongs, it still sounds absurd to me. Who gets impressed by a *blender*? Me, apparently.

   Prior to this Vitamix the only blender I had ever used in my *entire life* was an ancient Osterizer from the 70s. The thing is literally older than I am, but beyond all reasonable expectations it still somehow works. Go Osterizer, I guess? This year I grew way too many hot peppers, decided to make a bunch of hot sauce with them, and suddenly the Osterizer showed its age. While it was fine blending a couple of smoothies a month for us, it struggled to blend up 12 litres of hot sauce in one night, so I figured maybe the time had come to get a “real” (I.E. manufactured in this century) blender.

   After some internet research I selected the Vitamix 5200 as being the most likely not to struggle through my new hot sauce hobby, only to find that I was basically swatting a fly with a nuke. That old Osterizer took about 2 hours of blending and cooling down to do 12 litres of my (admittedly very thick) hot sauce puree. The Vitamix 5200 did all 12 litres in less than 2 minutes.

   The Vitamix 5200 is *absurd*. And that has made it life-changing for us.

   It doesn’t matter what you put in there. You can just shove the most fibrous of vegetables in there, right up to the brim, and *bvvvvvt*, instantly pureed. Shove a bunch of ice in there…instant slushy. Anything that is a solid that you no longer want to be a solid anymore this blender will handle.

   So we went from a household that might make a couple of smoothies every month to one that is now bulk-making sauces, soups, and so forth. We even just toss hole grains of various types (wheat, oatmeal, rye, flax, etc.) and turn them into our own multi-grain flower, then into pre-mixed dry bread ingredients.

   When we are “low spoons” – I.E. we just don’t have the jam to cook properly – we can just pull out some of our pre-made sauce from the freezer, drop it on some noodles, et voila: actual food groups get consumed.

   As an ADHD household we have been familiar with the concept of “a critical threshold of ease of use” for some time, but we never expected to find that in a *blender*. Somehow, however, the thing is both just easy enough to use and powerful enough to handle whatever we throw at it with zero prep work that has managed to make the “pre-cooking your nutritious meals” parts of adulting just easy enough that we can actually do them on a regular basis.

   If you’re looking for a top-of-the-line blender for your home, you’d be hard-pressed to find anything that would top it, I think. All those rave reviews on the internet were, for once, actually not lying.

   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!
