Product Description

Vitamix fuels passions. It’s why we’re the brand most trusted by professional chefs. But you won’t just find us in restaurant kitchens. You’ll also find us in home kitchens around the world. Because whether you’re interested in the culinary arts, making healthier choices, or enjoying restaurant-quality smoothies at home—when you’re ready to move on and move up, when you’re ready to invest in your passion, you’re ready for Vitamix.

Built to Last
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
Since the number-one reason people purchase a blender is to make smoothies, it’s important to get them right. Whether you prefer an icy blend or a perfectly smooth purée, nutrition-packed with veggies or a light, fruity treat, Vitamix smoothies give you a delicious, even blend in every sip.

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.

Fantastic engineering and construction makes this a value
I just cannot get over how well this works. Very well thought out design. It’s vibrationally isolated on 3, possibly 4 levels so it’s quiet and doesn’t drive a lot of energy into the countertop. Simple operation. Huge power. Over-spec’ed and overbuilt. Thick power cable. I use a blender about daily and have gone through several others over the years. This is so remarkably superior. I also bought the stainless carafe and love it

    5.0 out of 5 stars Its a Vitamix!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2025
    Color: WhiteStyle: BlenderVerified Purchase
    I've been using it multiple times a day since purchase. It's replacing a top of the line Ninja blender. The difference between the two is astounding. These guys must have really good patenting lawyers or something, it's a wonder that nobody can reproduce What a Vitamix does. It crushes the finest Berry seeds in your smoothies. They are exactly that. Smooth. It might not seem like that big of a deal to some people, but for somebody like myself who enjoys Whole Food smoothies everyday, it is a game changer. Yes you can make soup in this. Raw vegetables, some soup base, some cheese, some water, let it work for 5 minutes or so and you have hot soup ready to enjoy full of nutrients with zero preservatives. I would recommend watching people use these on YouTube. There is a certain way to use them and a certain way to load the machine. Use the tamper! When you are making smoothies or things like hummus or nut Butters, pesto ect.....nothing is going to happen unless you use the tamper. I see complaints on here about how the blade just spins and nothing happens. Air pockets and everything freezez above the blade blah blah blah......That is impossible if you are using the tamper. After experimenting a little bit you will be able to use this blender to do absolutely anything any blender can do plus more. It's hard to spend this kind of money on a small kitchen appliance. I have held back for over 20 years and have been through countless cheap piece of crap blenders. Find a refurbished one if you want to save yourself a few hundred dollars. But it is worth every single penny. Not because they cost that much to make, but because they apparently are the only ones that can do it. They have the market cornered for truly the best blender in the world.

    2nd Update: Initially was very ticked with customer service for taking so long to get to me. After placing a call and waiting on hold for 30 min I have to say it was worth the wait. They supplied a label for shipping all I had to do was deliver to my local 'Goin Postal' who packed and shipped it. It was mailed 7 Feb. They provided tracking and it was received by Vitamix on 11 Feb and returned to me repaired on 15 Feb. They replaced the pitcher with a new one and it looks like they replaced the sprocket on the base as well. So far so good, havent mixed anything 'thick' yet but was very impressed by the turnaround time and ease of returning the product under warranty with no cost to me other than the time involved.

    Update: 4 Feb 2025..Finally called Vitamix instead of messing around with the countless emails. Spent 30 minutes on hold before reaching a customer service rep. Had to go thru all the same things I went thru with the email correspondence but eventually got around to them sending me a return shipping label so that I could return it be checked out. I will update my review when resolved. I was told it would take about 10-14 days for turnaround. Mailed on 2/7/2025.

    Feb 2025: I bought my Vitamix in 2019 and it worked just fine with occasional use for smoothies, humus and soups. Recently it has started to grind in high speed. Understanding it has a 10 year warranty I contacted the company on Jan 19, 2025. It's now Feb 3 and I still dont have any resolution. I've been asked multiple times for information and each time I send info it takes another week for them to get back to me. Really disappointed in their customer service.

    Blender sent without blades... for 600.00 I expect all the promised parts along with a manual. Waste of time!

    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars If you're on the fence due to pricing

    I've had cheap blenders in the past few years, including Ninja and other "affordable" models, and they never lasted. They survive for a few months or a year before breaking, fracturing, or simply not giving the power I require for something like a standard silky smooth smoothies. No matter how much water to fruit or vegetable ratio I used, all of my smoothies turned up lumpy, unfinished, or goopy.

    The amount of money I have wasted on cheap brands compared to this high quality blender specifically the 5200 is upsetting. Very pleased with the power, but as one would always say, could be cheaper, but you can't really put a price on quality.
