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.

THE Blender of blenders!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 24, 2023

Color: BlackStyle: BlenderVerified Purchase

I have wanted this model for quite some time and decided to purchase it while on sale (a rarity for Vitamix). This blender was ranked highest on America's Test Kitchen and is one that I'd used before at a friend's house. This blender makes green smoothies that are smooth and taste better than the sum of its parts (some blenders make green smoothies that taste like drinking salad, very unpleasant). Life is no Yoke is a great reference for recipies and help on which vitamix to pick. To get a sense of why the 5200 is so great, watch America's Test Kitchen (ATK) review on youtube. I admit now that I own it, I would consider the stainless steel assent series for its purported quieter operation and perhaps the presets would be nice, yet I like that the this blender jar is supposed to make more velvety smoothies/ sauces per ATK. I wear a watch and know that 60 seconds is perfect for all the smoothies I've made, so living without the presets isn't so bad especially if you can buy this model for a few hundred dollars less (you can make all of the same recipes as the more expensive models). Another consideration is height, as it will not fit under typical cabinets. For me this is not an issue as I have a microwave oven above my countertop which provides the additional headspace for me to store my assembled blender on the countertop, alternatively, you could store the base next to the jar or buy a short jar (but be warned the jars are expensive). This is one of the few appliances I like to keep on my countertop for frequent use, it makes creating healthy sauces and smoothies a breeze, and if you're buying a blender at this price point, you'll want to use it frequently. Lastly, appearance: I don't mind this blender's aesthetics, but you may not like it, it's certainly more utilitarian than the metal trims, if looks are very important to you, you may decide to spend more for a blender that better suites your kitchen and style.

Bad Lid/Plug design; bad instructions, bad attitude, great smoothies

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2018

Color: WhiteStyle: BlenderVerified Purchase

Wanting to upgrade my smoothie processing, got the 5200, white, on sale at a good price (for it, but really it's a bit pricey). It happened; now it's easier for me every day compared to my old, smaller machine which was perfectly fine but not quite as good.

Out of the box my Plug would not lock in the lid. Didn't fit together right. Examining the parts, I ascertained that the Vitamix instructions, lock clockwise, unlock counter-clockwise (cc) made no sense. So I wrote to Vitamix as follows:

"….Your Owner's Manual instructs me (and everybody else) to secure the plug by turning it clockwise (Page 7, para 2) and, to remove it by rotating counterclockwise from "locked" to "unlocked". But my inspection of the two pieces informs me that the design doesn't care which direction is used to secure/ lock it, and equally doen't care which direction is used to unlock it for removal. Unfortunately I cannot test my analysis because my pieces don't fit, and don't lock.

The Plug has two studs, each a semi-cylinder.

The Lid has four pairs of studs, equally spaced around the inside of the opening for the Plug. The two studs constituting a pair are spaces approximately 9/32" apart, thus forming a nest for the Plug's stud to rest in. To try to avoid confusion, I'll now call the pair of studs of which the Lid has four, the "goalposts".

The goalposts have small inclines (or, perhaps, ramps) on the side of each post that is away from the other post. But on the side of each post that faces the other post, there is no ramp and the post has a straight wall.

One can see that the semi-circular side of the semi-cylinder Plug stud will, with an easy twist, ride up the ramp of a goalpost, continue over the goalpost, and fall into the space between the posts. It will take greater effort to twist it out, because there is no ramp to assist. But since every pair of goalposts has two outside ramps, it doesn't matter whether one locks clockwise or counterclockwise. The Plug stud will proceed to the next goalposts in the direction used and go up the ramp and over the post .

So I wonder why your instruction book says what it says. Ditto for the unlock. The geometry is symmetrical...doesn't matter which direction. One can both lock and unlock clockwise, or lock and unlock counterclockwise, or lock clockwise and unclock cc, or lock cc and unlock clockwise.

My pieces were not properly made. I don't know which piece is dimensionally wrong, but I don't get any contact whatsoever between the Plug studs and the Lid goalposts. The plug just spins around. I suspect that the goalposts are too short, perhaps a molding problem. But that's just a guess.

Please send me a replacement Lid and Plug, and a shipping label so I can then send you the misfits in the box you used to send the replacements. That way I can continue to make smoothies( being careful not to overload the container causing a spray of fruit through the plug opening after the Plug is shot across the room) whilst I await the replacement."

They sent the replacement but didn't want the original parts back. When I asked why they didn't want to find out what was wrong, they indicated that they already knew the part was prone to warpage. They said:

"As for the lid itself, the ridges when brand new should stop the lid plug from turning. It is possible over time that they become worn down or the lid becomes warp and the lid plug is no longer stopped by them"

Well, these were brand new parts, so obviously they weren't worn down, but perhaps they were warped? When the new parts came I compared all the pieces and realized that the original lid was very slightly (1/8") warped out of shape. It is a soft plastic-like lid and I wasn't surprised it didn't keep it's proper shape. Just the 1/8 inch removed the "lock".

When I assembled the new Lid & Plug, I confirmed my previous opinion (based on the visual of the design) that it would lock and unlock both clockwise and cc. Then I thought about Vitamix's statement that over time the ridges wear down, and that is a known cause of lock failure. then I had a "eureka moment". Not only are Vitamix's instructions ("lock clockwise, unlock cc") unwarranted because the plug will lock and unlock in either direction, BUT THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE ACTUALLY HARMFUL AND SHORTEN THE USEFUL LIFE OF THE LID. I told this to Vitamix and explained as follows:

"Well, if you always lock clockwise, and always unlock cc, the hard stud of the Plug will always ride over the same stud (or "ridge", as you call it) of the pair. Back and forth over that stud (and the same thing happens on the opposite side) and no travel whatsoever over the other stud of the pair. So all the wear and tear goes on one ridge, rather than being shared between the two ridges of the pair. Better practice would be to make all movement clockwise (or all movement cc) as this would put both studs of the pair in play for each lock-unlock episode ( and reduce the wear on the otherwise solo stud by a significant percentage).. The BEST PRACTICE, however, which might be a little hard to swallow or ordain in the instructions, would be to make all movement clockwise on odd days of the month, and all movement cc on even days of the month. OK, you think I'm nuts, so let me explain. The "Better practice", although it uses both studs of the pair, is always going up the ramp of one stud for the lock, but going against the vertical edge of the other stud for the unlock. Since the ramp makes it easy to lock, it is putting less wear on the stud (or ridge) to lock than to unlock, which requires brute force (a small brute) to blast through the vertical obstacle. Thus the unlock will put more wear and tear on the piece than the lock, and if you always twist in the same direction for both lock and unlock you will wear out the ridges unevenly. Yes, the wear goes to both of them for sharing, but the share is not even. The BEST PRACTICE will even it out, maximizing the useful life"

The Vitamix customer service reaction to all this bordered on total disinterest. I was told that the product was around some 20 years and if I wanted a better designed lid/plug I should return it and purchase a different model Vitamix. I should probably do that but I probably won't, because we spent so much time in deciding to purchase the 5200 that I don't want to go through that drill again.

I even found, on one occasion when my smoothie was quite large, and I was blending on high, the pressure of the fluid pressing up against the replacement lit caused it to flex (or warp) thereby unlocking the plug which then spun around and around pushed by the swirl (but did not fly out, for some reason). I might end up by simply making it a point to put my finger on the plug in that situation.

But what really galls me is that I asked for feedback from Vitamix engineering about my observations about the instructions for lock/ unlock, and I was flatly refused. "We don't give feedback. Period" or some such language.

Truly, I don't know how durable (had it less than a month) or versatile (all I do is smoothies) the machine is. Not at all. I gave three stars only because I had to give something.

I shouldn't have waited so long

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 17, 2023

Color: BlackStyle: BlenderVerified Purchase

My daughter is fed via g-tube. We do home blending instead of formula.

My old blender was a really nice Ninja, probably $100 or more brand new. The first picture is my daughter's food on its 4th straining after blending with the Ninja. Meaning I had strained it already THREE TIMES before taking that picture and deciding it was good enough. I had to use pre-pureed meat from the baby food aisle (opening a million little jars and trying to scoop it all out with a spoon) because the Ninja would not blend meat enough and it kept clogging up the tubes.

The second picture is the FIRST STRAIN on Vitamix. I never strain it all now, and I blend home-cooked meat now. The Vitamix completely liquefies everything.

If you're a tube family just get it. I didn't believe it was that big of a difference. It is. I was so, so wrong. I'm never going back. Everything is getting blended now. No more chewing in my house, it's no longer allowed. I don't care if you don't like steak smoothies, that's what I'm making so quit yer fussin.

A good blender... but it's just a blender

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 3, 2022

Color: BlackStyle: BlenderVerified Purchase

It's a good blender... but it's just a blender.

The controls are nice. One on/off switch and a dial for speed. There's also a switch for high speed... but that's not so useful. When you change speeds or turn it on the speed ramps up/down to avoid splashing or pulling in a bunch of air.

I don't imagine making peanut butter is a good use of time (sounds messy), and making soup heated by the friction of the blades sounds terrible because you have to run it for minutes. (It's incredibly loud on the highest speed: measured 90db! My son literally put on industrial ear muffs).

If you like slushes, smoothies, or milkshakes, it can do those very well. Very smooth. smaller ice crystals than a slushy machine.

The rod for pushing stuff into the blades is useful. It's nice to have a thing that is exactly the right length... saves you from the extra fiber added by a ground up wooden spoon.

one worked great but having problem with 2nd & 3rd one, nasty noise & smell of burning wire!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 25, 2020

Color: BlackStyle: BlenderVerified Purchase

I bought 3 of the Vitamix 5200, one work wonder and I love it, even though super expensive but worth it, however, one operates like a charm but the other one makes a very funny noise and also looks like motor hesitates to strut running at the beginning where as the other one is absolutely perfect (for now tgat is) as I only had them for a few weeks but will rewrite review after few months. For now I love the one that doesn’t make funny noise and do recommend it to anyone wanting a good quality mixer for home use or even proffesional use.

Now the 3rd one which I bought about 3 weeks ago and used it to make cold sauces it worked pretty good for a few weeks then started the same nasty noise when running at half speed like the second machine did but now this one also started smelling like burnt wire which scared me wondering if it’s safe to use it.

Out of 3 of these mixers 2 had issues but one was and still is working great after several moths, this shows QC isn’t the fist priority with Vitamix or perhaps they’re just going with cheaper parts to save cost but the forgetting quality will go down at the same time, in any case I’m not sure if I’ll buy another one, maybe next mixer will be a different brand even if more expensive!

Really is a great blender. So powerful

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 29, 2022

Color: WhiteStyle: BlenderVerified Purchase

I had a Blendtec before and it was great too but finally gave out after 10 years. Vitamix was always the other leader in the power blender league. This model is simple. There are no programs, just on/off and the turn up the speed dial and turbo. The programs on the Blendtec we’re rarely used so I’m not missing them.

The Vitamix is also quieter, though that may be because the Blendtec was misbehaving in it’s final months!

If you want a good, reliable workhorse for your blender I believe the Vitamix is it.

Came defective with a leaking container

The media could not be loaded.

I was very excited to get my first Vitamix, especially since this is the 5200. Incredibly disappointed when washing the container to use it for the first time that water started dripping out of the bottom. See video.

Had to return it as there's no fix for this, according to Vitamix. I reached out to Vitamix via their Facebook page and they wanted to help but it was easier just to return it to Amazon.
