Exploded on my newborn granddaughter! Absolutely unbelievable! My daughter in law was holding my 1-week old granddaughter in a front pouch and was making a smoothie with Raspberries, blackberries, beets, blueberries, spinach and kefir. After successfully blending those ingredients and drinking half a glass, she decided it wasn't sweet enough so she tossed in a chopped apple to sweeten it up. While blending the apple, the unit suddenly exploded a shard out the bottom of the pitcher! I'm not talking about an explosion out the top (like what happens when you leave the lid off). I'm talking about a one-inch shard of the unit itself suddenly blowing out. It was such an explosive force that the red juice flew more than 10 feet and covered almost every inch of my kitchen.

Anyway, I'm going to make this short and sweet. Our 3 year old son has autism and severe sensory issues making him the pickiest eater on the face of the planet. That being said, he will drink just about anything we put in his cup as long as it passes the look, smell and texture tests. If it weren't for the Vitamix I don't know how we would've fed our child and made sure he got the protein, fresh fruits and vegetables etc. that his little growing mind and body need. We can sneak ANYTHING into his smoothies and he has no idea because the Vitamix works so incredibly well at blending everything flawlessly. No chunks, no pulp, no fuss! Smooth and creamy and delicious no matter what we throw in there!
Not only do we use this every day for his "dinner", but I use it every day for my green smoothies and my husband uses it for his protein shakes. This thing has taken a lot of abuse and gets a pretty intense daily work out of frozen fruits and ice cubes etc. and it still works like it did when we bought it FIVE YEARS AGO. We haven't had to replace parts or have any maintenance done. Just regular cleaning and care. Boom. This is so much more than a blender, it's a way of life.

This isn't just a blender. That's what you have to tell yourself to actually spend the money on one of these things. I know there is that age old debate about Vitamix vs Blendtech but I've never tried a Blendtech because our Vitamix has been a work horse for years of daily use and still keeps going! It's what my parents had, it's what everyone in my family has and they all love it as much as we do. I guess it's kinda like Ford vs Chevy. ;)Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2016

So again, ill update shortly after I have blended a few more things, but hopefully Vitamix is going for quality and be happy with current profits, cutting costs may have unintended consequences and open door for competitors to further expand this category. So maybe someone from Vitamix has some answers for future purchasers, but at this price point I am a little concerned. I posted a picture so people don't think I'm just some critic. I'd give it a 3 or 4 star if the price was $150.00 cheaper to compensate for the cheaper components, which I assume is what the leadership team at Vitamix thought was best. And if Vitamix differs, then they better address their Quality Control department. Cause I'd bet it's one of the two.

Has Vitamix tried to cut costs and stay at the same price point?

HMM, I owned a 5200 black model from about 7 years ago. My ex still has it and so I bought this one from amazon. I have only used it once so far and so I will update this post after a few more uses, but I must say something is different. Runs fine, but I'm concerned that something has changed as I remember my other unit being more powerful than this. In addition, the turn dial is definetly a different component as it is not nearly as smooth. It tends to feel slightly restrictive and the workmanship is absolutely not the same as I remember. My old unit dial rolled smoothly and just the correct amount of resistance. I am unaware if all 5200 are the same, or possibly year made, but someone at Vitamix may know of a parts supplier or change and everyone might have the finger to the chin going oops.Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2018
