Vitamix 5200 Blender - My FAVORITE & Longest Lasting Appliance

Our Vitamix 5200 is the longest lasting appliance that we've ever owned. After using it twice a day for over 8 years, it has never had a problem and is still the workhorse blender that it was on day one.

I purchased my 5200 in 2009. I thought I was crazy for purchasing such an expensive machine but after having it for thirteen years with no problems, it was the best investment in a kitchen appliance that I made. The newer models out now are nice with pre-sets but they are a drag. I actually prefer the 5200 using the flip switches and speed dial for complete manual control of my blends. Great video thank you for posting.

Yes. I can attest to the longevity. I had mine about 9 years. Only thing was socket just needed replacing - minor and normal. I wanted a smaller footprint with the pulse feature and preferred a legacy model (just a preference) so just replaced with a refurbished 5300. 💚💛🧡 Vitamix

Picked up the 32 oz today! Thanks for the vid.

Appreciate you showing the 48oz container. The 48oz is item 56085 for those interested. The 64oz doesn't fit under our cabinets, but the 48oz container is good for everyday use and fits.

yep getting this one!!! thanks was tired of looking!

Came to see if my 5200 was making the right sound when I turned it on. Six minutes in, you turn yours on but drown it out with generic background music. So darn helpful.

I have the pro 750. And I just bought a 5200 used for a family member. They both blend well, just the 750 is "cuter" with presets that i never use. I always use the variable speed. The end product is similar, difference is in price and looks.

Just purchased mine thru your link--thanks!

[Nick-odln]

Can you post the link or a model number for the smaller container u used instead of the 64 oz one??

You said it right. It does what it is suppose to do. That's the second important part.

It will be a truly sad day for America if Vitamix ever stops making the 5200 Legacy. Not counting on that ever happening but if it did, then did I'd have to buy one of the last ones off the production line even though I don't need one. I'd just keep it as a backup in storage, in the event my 20 year old 5200 were to somehow become unfixable. That machine is so tough, I'm convinced it will outlast ME. And it's just way easier and more straightforward to use than all their new models with programmed timers and digital gimmicks. The 5200 is the best investment you can make after real estate and a diversified stock portfolio. 😄

I have had my 5000 for almost 30 years. Great investment.

Your 5200 is practically new compared to our 1969, 2200. again it is virtually every day and has met the test of time and still working.

Have you looked into the advanced jar container with the different blade? Can't find out much on the difference

I like the simplicity of the controls on the 5200. I hate the electronic controls of the newer Vitamix models and of the Blendtecs. Just more unnecessary complexity and more stuff to break. I'm still using a 5100 that I bought in the last century.

Does this blend better than the E310 or is it the same?

[hstyxlg]

hello. I want to ask the rpm of the high button of the 5200 model, does it correspond to the rpm of 10 speed of the e 310 model? because I hesitate between the two models. and the small 5-year warranty of the e 310 is it because of the low price?

can the E 310 model work well with the jug of 5200? or is it not recommended?

[zeilafrade]

I wish this video would not have music when the actual blending is taking place so that one could hear the sound the blender makes.

[yolandaratliff]

The new blending cup won't fit on it. Help?!

[MrEcted]

I have gone through two Ninjas now and a couple super cheapies. Time to just bite the bullet and go for the full Vitamix, I really wish I would have just gotten it to begin with!
