Vita-Mix 5200 Blender Review

This is by far the best blender I've ever used!!!  

   I've had it for a couple of years & I've used it nearly everyday...sometimes several times a day!!!!  It's great for smoothies, custom coffee blends, nut milks, nut butters, soups, fruit & vegetable juices, pancake batters, syrups....you get the point....it's great for everything!!!!!!!  I can't say enough about how wonderful this blender is!!!!!!!  The best part is; after all of those things you can make...it's super easy to clean!!!!!  :D

   The only small complaint I have is that while The Vita-Mix comes with a 7 year warranty, it didn't cover the tamper when I needed a replacement.  One of my friends' kids put my tamper in the dishwasher when I wasn't paying attention & it fell to the bottom during the cycle, burning a hole in it & making it unusable.  I called Vita-Mix for a replacement & I was told that it wasn't covered by the warranty because they're not supposed to go in the dishwasher...I was a little disappointed, although of course it made sense.  The customer service woman that I spoke with was very friendly & helpful, so I purchased a new tamper and I was thrilled when it arrived within days!!!!!  

   I also have a friend that had a little older model (I'm not sure which one) and she also used it daily.  It suddenly quit working after about 5 years, so she called Vita-Mix & they sent her a brand new blender, free of charge.  They really are a wonderful company, and they honor their warranty!!!!!

Random Tip:  The best way to clean your Vita-Mix after making nut butters....is to make ice cream!!!  :D

LONG STORY SHORT:  GET A VITA-MIX....YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!!!  :D
