Vitamix 5200 Blender Review

When it comes to blenders I highly recommend the Vitamix 5200. This blender has got some serious horsepower behind it and will blend just about anything. So why did I choose the Vitamix 5200? I was frustrated with my cheapo Osterizer blender that was severely underpowered. When I would make a smoothie with ice, the ice would still be in conspicuously large chunks. So I heard a lot about the Vitamix and was a little hestitant considering the price. But I remember my friend’s mom using it back in the 1970’s and loving it. Yes Vitamix has been around a long time!

Well I made the leap and here’s why I think the Vitamix is the blender of choice…

1.  First and foremost it blends anything and it blends it well! Ice is pulverized, smoothies come out awesome!

2.  It is the only blender on the market that comes with a rod that allows you to push down ingredients while the machine is running (it has a patent on this device so you won’t find it anywhere else). THIS IS ABSOLUTELY KEY! Because I don’t care how powerful a motor you have, any blender will have trouble blending ingredients when there is not as much liquid to blend it with. So that’s where this rod (or tamper as Vitamix calls it) comes in handy so you can push the ingredients into the whirling blade — SAFELY. And since I like my smoothies thick (I make them with a lot of leafy greens) this device is an absolute must. The tamper rod fits through the lid hole on top and has a “lip” design so it will not touch the blades.

3. It makes soups that come out hot. No cooking involved. The motor is so powerful that it actually heats up your ingredients at high speeds. So just put in your veggies, add water and you’ve got soup in less time than Rachel Ray gets finished with her cooking intro. Don’t worry about this heating feature with making smoothies. Smoothies come out cold and frosty. You have to run the machine on high settings for a while before the heat/cooking process takes effect.

4.  This Vitamix container is BPA FREE so you don’t have to worry about BPA leeching into your soups and smoothies.

5. Simple and Easy to Use. You have only 2 controls (high and low) with a variable speed control. Other blenders come with a lot of bells and whistles (ie about 20 different buttons with a dizzying array of options), but at the end of the day how many are you really going to use? One or Two! Keep it simple is my motto and Vitamix does this well – plus you don’t have to waste your time going through an instruction manual to figure out how it works or “what this button does?”

6.  Vitamix had been around a long time and they stand behind their product. The Vitamix comes with a 7 year guarantee! So if anything goes wrong, Vita-Mix will repair your machine for FREE! Now that’s a guarantee I like.

Now I will mention one downside to the Vitamix.. and that it is on the tall side, so it won’t fit on my kitchen counter under my cabinets. But other than this it’s the perfect machine for your blending needs.

Vitamix does not allow discounting, so you won’t find this machine available anywhere for anything less than the price on their website. However if you order your Vitamix 5200 through this link you’ll qualify for FREE SHIPPING.
