Vita-Mix 5200 Blender Review

I love my VitaMix, my mother had one when I was little and she made everything in it from juices to soups and pizza dough. Her original unit is still working today, with no repairs since purchasing it. The VitaMix brand has been around for a while and is reliable company regarding repairs and quality of the unit itself. The unit is a versatile kitchen appliance that I have found to be indespensible in my own kitchen. My VitaMix is easy to clean with water and a squirt of soap, it never has to be put in the dishwasher. Unlike a juicer, the VitaMix breaks down the pulp and solids that a standard juicer would dispose of, so the liquid is smooth, all the nutrients are there along with the fiber and nutritional benefits still remaining in the pulp. I find it odd that more people aren't aware of VitaMix since it's the blender/juicer used on the Food Network's Iron Chef, and can also be seen at the bar in some restaurants because of it's superior ability to crush ice and frozen fruit with ease. I highly recommend the VitaMix as a healthy alternative to a standard juicer, because of it's versatility and quality.
