OUR KIDS BOOK

WHO ARE WE:

[carloswashere]

The 5200 is the go-to for us chefs in top-notch kitchens—casinos, country clubs, swanky hotels, cruise ships, and nursing homes, based on what I've seen. Forget about Ninjas, Nutribullets, or Hamilton Beach. I've whipped up salad dressing, hot sauce, salsa, peanut butter, and more with the 5200—it's the real deal in commercial kitchens! 💪

[hkinley]

I didn't know the difference, and I purchased a 5200. And I love it

[chuckychuck]

Well, I love my Vitamix 5200 blender, professional grade, container and self cleaning 64 oz I'm a retired executive chef, All these fancy options doesn't impress me, a working, thinking multi tasking brain does.

I recently purchased the A3300 and on a separate purchase picked up the stainless steal 48oz container. I feel the stainless steal is a healthier choice container for making soups and as a bonus work well for smaller portions.

I have the 5200, the A2300 and the A3500. Love them all equally. My 5200 is my go to smoothie maker though. Love the tall container.

After watching this video, I went for the a3500 with the stainless steel container using your affiliate ID so I could get the recipe book. I also appreciate all your content! After using my old 5000 Vitamix for 17 years, I wanted a container that didn't stain from food. It is so pretty. BTW I love your recipes! Where were you 17 years ago? I had to figure many of those recipes out on my own. I got it 2 days ago and haven't stopped using it. I LOVE the walk-away feature and the simple controls for a smoothie! It is also so easy to make nice cream! Oh soup is a breeze! I'm in LOVE!

The colors of the smoothies are different because the 5200 is not incorporating air. As a result, it is smoother and velvetier and not frothy. Aside from the look, the mouth feel will be different. The 5200 is a better blender. The A3500 is a better all around machine. If you already have a good food processor, the 5200 is probably a better choice. I’d you’re short on space or need the multifunctionality, the A3500 is better.

[a.s.t.talanoa]

I had a 5200 and also bought the A2500 because the A series is also compatible with the Vitamix food processor attachment. I gave my 5200 to my sister because my husband bought me the food processor attachment and it was incompatible so he bought me the A2500 which I liked more than the A3500. I can fit the A2500 assembled under my cabinets easily. It also has presets and WiFi controls but the face and knobs are much more similar to the 5200 which I loved.

Great video. Still debating between the two but I will be a Vitamix owner by the Christmas Holidays.

[peggyunderhill]

My reconditioned 5200 still going strong after 12 years. Nothing else comes close.

[ssjordan]

I could listen to you talk about paint drying… relaxing.

[vickyn]

I wish vitamix would still offer the pro 750 brushed stainless steel finish with the backlit control board.

[tinacsomo]

The extra features on the 3500 sold me!

[peterdeduke]

Thanks for this video. My primary goal is for making hot sauces which need to be pasteurized which both would do so I’m thinking 5200. Great video.

[seerenita]

Love the jazz music in the background. Very enjoyable video.

[TanyaScorpio]

Sold 5200 because that's all I want and do is smoothies. I have a bteville buister (sp)...I have yet to use the juicer thinking I would. Thank you

[richiehimes]

We did the 750 Professional but no matter what you choose, he refurbished program is the way to go!
You get a great product with a warranty while keeping some money in your pocket!

[RonaldMCRAE-jj]

NOYOKE as always excellent details and explanation. I have Vitamix blender and food processor. When are they coming up with their own Vitamix Juicer.

[ramziasaleem]

Hi and thank you for your informative videos. A question please, I know it is best and you also suggest we better buy from the actual Vitamix manufacturer website, sometimes like this time in December there is a temporary table at Costco where they have brought A2500 Vitamix which I think will be available until December 20th with a little discount, will this be different from the one at the Vitamix website in quality, are they of a bit lower quality or are they of those refurbished returned ones …?
Will appreciate your response in advance.

[chevyguy]

I keep the 48 ounce container on my Vitamix TNC Blender when it's on the counter. It's the perfect size for 1-2 people, and fit's under my cabinets. Can't go wrong with the Legacy Series Blenders.
