Vita-Mix Vita-Mix 5200 Review

I recently purchased the Vita Mix 5200, with a 10 speed, 1500-watt motor.  After much research, comparing Vita Mix brand with Blendtec and other less expensive blenders, we found that overall the ratings for Vita Mix were excellent.

My husband and I were first introduced to the Vita Mix 5200 at a local Home Show, where a demonstration was taking place.  We were fascinated with the capabilities of a blender.

My pervious experience with a blender was making a fruit smoothie with a 450-watt motor blender that struggled to crush the ice.  Now we were watching a young lady put whole fruits and cups of ice into the machine and within seconds a wonderful fruit smoothy was produced.  We were also amazed as she put vegetables into the blender and with a couple of minutes we were being served hot vegetable soup.  On and on the demonstration went.  Now months later we are the proud owners of this high powered machine.  It is fun creating new recipes using our blender.
