It can easily make bar-quality crushed ice, almond butter, and smoothies, and it can even hot blend. However, this blender is pretty straightforward, and it doesn't have a Pulse mode or any preset modes. It also isn't dishwasher-safe, but it's still quite easy to clean by hand.

That means the unit is ready to use when you first get the unit wash the removable parts and warm soapy water and dry to put the unit together place. ...

They emailed me a UPS label and let me ship (free)the mechine to repair. Only a week, fixed and returned it to me. No questioon, no more a word. Simple, easy, quick

For the refurb price it was OK. At full price, especially compared to a decent blender (even a 450 watt one), I'd feel robbed. (I also can't resist pointing out the absurdity of the "nutrient extraction" claim. Hey, if it EXTRACTS the nutrients, I don' want to use it

Vitamix 5200, but for a more budget (but still excellent) option, I would highly recommend the Breville Hemisphere Control for a shade above 150. I will recommend against the Ninja blenders. They're a lot cheaper, but there are good reasons to get at least the Breville.

I was not disappointed! At first, I made almond milk on the milkshake setting, but there were pieces of almonds left. But when I tried making more almond milk on the high setting - perfect almond milk!!! Also, it makes thick sauces, almond butter, and blends things like kale, etc. that I could not do with my other one. This blender is fantastic! Also, Oster is the only blender in this price range that has a glass jar base that does not break on you! (see the pic) The cheap plastic parts of other blenders break by just pushing on them!!! And this blender is quieter - nice!!! And the glass jar is a bonus!!!! I would never buy a vitamix due to their plastic jars

Breville products - after replacing all sorts of items breville hold up. Their larger counter top oven gets 3-4x/week use and nearly never use the “regular” oven any longer.

The blade turns a little, but obviously not enough to process anything. Oster is using cheap plastic gears that seem to only have one use. This was Mothers Day gift and I paid extra money for the food processor attachment. I'm upset because it feels like I've been robbed

However, in order to use it for dry ingredients, you have to purchase a dry blade for it. For the price, it should have come with it. I liked it but it didn't fully serve the needs of my lifestyle. I took it back and bought a cheaper brand that I could use for dry ingredients

This is the Triton jar that they have so, as you can see here, it's a nice, hard plastic, nice blades inside four blades, well, two out sides and then...

Better practice would be to make all movement clockwise (or all movement cc) as this would put both studs of the pair in play for each lock-unlock episode ( and reduce the wear on the otherwise solo stud by a significant percentage).. The BEST PRACTICE, however, which might be a little hard to swallow or ordain in the instructions, would be to make all movement clockwise on odd days of the month, and all movement cc on even days of the month. OK, you think I'm nuts, so let me explain

I did also ad about a half cup of milk. I used the "smoothie" setting and all this did was make the smoothie stuck at the bottom. I felt as if the motor was going to burn since the blades were stuck at the bottom and not even moving the liquid around. This blender has so much power, I even used the high setting and boy that couldn't even get through that

Disappointed with the 5200 Blender. Purchased the 4500 Vitamix in the late 90's and it just now stop working. This newer model has terrible blending/juicing power. Not sure what the problem is but I wish I would have purchased the 4500 Vitamix again

after about a couple months of use it began to make a really loud rumbling sound and 2. just last month, the food processor stem stripped and wore out. I called Oster to address the issue and they had no problem in replacing my blender. [This review was collected as part of a promotion

Yes, I expected noisy but this is more like noisy I expect it to come flying apart at any minute. It also still has a burning smell to it when you turn it on. As someone who is intimately familiar with what burning electronics smells like, this thing smells like burning. I get the distinct impression Vitamix was trying to cut as much cost out of the product as possible to increase margins

I chose to return it promptly because 1. it had these blades that looked cheap and so much molded plastic everywhere. 2. the spindles were too loose

Received my 7500 Reconditioned and the first thing I noticed was the variable speed knob seems to have zero effect to the speed of the blades. I read the manual, followed the steps to 'reset' and still nothing. I have not had a great experience so far with Vitamix customer service. The first rep told me this was totally normal (which I've watched enough demo videos of this model to know that it is not, also just visited a friend yesterday with a Next Gen and their variable speeds work as expected)
