I bought a refurbished Vitamix 5200 a few years back and it has been worth every penny spent. If I didn't have one, I'd buy this.

Just don't run it for too long - Vitamix and Blendtec blenders are powerful enough that you can literally boil water in them just with the friction of the blades moving through the liquid.

One of the best investments we have made. Soups to fruit/vegi smoothies. All regulated for health by what you put into the blend. Not what store bought processed foods come with.

Highly recommend

That's about 1/2 what I paid for my Vitamix in 2003. 16 years later and it works good as new. Should last a lifetime ... and then some. If I didn't have one, I'd jump on that deal !!!

Another satisfied customer. I’ve never seen anything like it. That blending monster puts the smooth in smoothies.

Welcome to the Cult club, guys!

I’ve got a killer “clean” pancake recipe that is very high in protein that requires the Vitamix.

Yeah... I don't normally like using raspberries or strawberries in smoothies because of the seeds. A Vitamix will actually grind up the seeds in a smoothie to the point that there are no discernable bits left.

It is called friction cooking and makes for some mighty fine soup!

Ninjas lasted about a year here. We burnt through 2. We then got a Vitamix Professional 750 and it is going strong after 8 years.

That is a smoking deal, but I already have one and am VERY happy with it.

Highly recommended for anyone on the fence. Don't pass this up!
