A bargain blender’s not a bargain if it doesn’t last. We know purchasing a Vitamix blender is an investment. But Vitamix blenders are built to last, helping you buy dependable, not disposable.

Easy to Clean
Just blend warm water and a drop of dish soap at your machine’s highest speed, and watch it self-clean in 60 seconds or less – no disassembly required.

The Difference Is in the Blend

Power
We don’t aim to have the highest horsepower. You don’t need more horses; you need trained ones. The focused power of our complete blending system causes every component of the Vitamix machine to work together, creating faster, smoother blends packed with flavor.

The Universal Tool
Make smoothies & juices, hot soups, flours & dough, nut butter, frozen desserts, batters, dressings & sauces, non-dairy milks, and more.

Manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio USA

Troubleshooting All Vitamix Blenders include thermal sensors designed to shut the unit off when overheating. When this occurs, turn the power off for up to 45 minutes, allowing the blender to cool down or reset. Always check your speed: Vitamix blenders perform best on High speed to pulverize food and process thick mixture. Check the quantity and density of your blend. Follow the order of ingredients. Use the Tamper. When in doubt, refer to your owner’s manual for tips or visit the Vitamix homepage for techniques videos.”HP: 2-peak.

    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 had major dental surgery which has restricted me to a liquid diet for several months. This blender has been a life saver in its ability to blend all my foods. Clean up of this blender couldn’t be easier either; just blend water and a few drops of dish soap for < 1 minute, then rinse completely, done! The plunger with this blender is great for working with harder to blend items and prevents anything from getting stuck while blending. Smoothies are silky smooth, even when using frozen fruits.This blender replaced a 20+ year old Kitchenaid blender that struggled with simple blended cocktails. There is a night and day difference of improvements between these blenders.For noise level, I wouldn't call this blender quiet, but I've heard louder blenders at businesses and friends homes. This Vitamix blender instead gets the job done quickly, so the blender isn't on as long as other blenders.I'm not surprised that this blender has a 7 year warranty. It's heavy and built like a tank. I could see this lasting for a long time even with my frequent usage every day.

    Absolutely the best kitchen appliance. It is so efficient at blending, unbelievably (may even unnecessarily…!?) powerful, and super easy to use and clean. Honestly, it may be overpriced compared to other blenders, and I mostly use to make smoothies, but few things have felt like a better purchase. It is bulky and heavy, and somewhat hard to store, but I quite like its utilitarian design so I’m fine with just having it out. I remember the ‘will it blend’ videos – believe the hype. If you are able to buy one, I would highly recommend.

    The blender is an absolute superior product. We had an issue with the first delivery but it was quickly fixed by the company making their customer services also superior.

    I sent this back before even using. I own several older blenders that both cost under $150, and the lid design on both are FAR superior to this one. This one has a “snap-on” design, and directions say to push down on lid until lid flaps “lock into place”. The lid itself, and especially the flaps are flimsy (made out of what feels like a light weight, cheap, thin, somewhat hard and inflexible rubber that has no strength to it and feels like it will either break completely, or lose what little strength it does have in a short order. There was no “locking” sound or any other indication that the lid was actually secure, and I had to instead get down at eye level and inspect the bottom of the flap from underneath to see if it was indeed under the ridge it was supposed to snap “over”… and I STILL wasn’t sure!!! The flaps did not look or feel firmly in place, and I knew immediately I would never feel comfortable using this blender, as a tight a secure blender lid is ESSENTIAL. Also, you have to sort of pry the flimsy flaps off the same ridge to take the lid off, and they felt like they might break right then and there! The removable “lid plug”, which you can remove to add more ingredients without taking the lid off, also felt flimsy and poorly designed. PLUS, the food container itself felt REALLY cheap compared to either of my inexpensive blenders (one has an actual glass container that has lasted over 15 years, and the other is made of a MUCH heavier and more solid plastic).The only part that felt worth the $400 price tag was the base with the motor, which was really heavy compared to my other two blenders. I just think Vitamix went the cheap route on everything else. The blending power may well be far superior to my other blenders, but I’m just not willing to pay $400 for a blender with ANY cheap parts, especially such important ones. I was so excited about finally owning a Vitamix, but was so immediately dissatisfied that I packed it up10 minutes after taking it out of the box and requested a refund.Perhaps they have recently redesigned and cheapened the lid and container, as I saw only one other person with my same complaint. For what it’s worth, this is only the second negative online review I’ve ever written about a product.

    Powerful, effective, fun to use and easy to clean
    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.

    Amazing Vitamix blender
    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.

    An *absurdly* good blender.
    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.
