Vitamix 5000 Variable-Speed Blender

Pros: Great for grinding and mayonnaise
Cons: Not a great juicer

You have probably seen the Vitamix at County Fairs or Home shows. That's where I saw my first one and fell in love with it! I have owned a Vitamix for almost 20 years. It is probably the most heavy duty blender/appliance on the market today. What ...

Pros: Behemoth, Easy Clean-up, Professional, Durable
Cons: Pricey, bland styling

I have a fondness for blended drinks, I’m not what you would call a “Heath Freak” but I do like to keep my diet healthy. One of the easiest ways to improve your lifestyle is through drinks, and smoothies are a delicious choice. Finding the ...

Pros: It does EVERYTHING it was advertised to do....extremely well constructed
Cons: 400 bucks for a blender ?!?!

If anyone had ever predicted that I....would have a 400 dollar blender, I would have laughed out loud in their face.

The fact remains, that I (we) do have a 400 hundred dollar blender. And, frankly we like it. It's well built, blends...

Pros: Capable with power to spare! Does things other blenders can only dream of.
Cons: On the loud side.

We have had a Vita-Mix 5000 for several years now. I guess I am one of those who are of the opinion that only the best is good enough, or that having something that does MORE than you really need it to is better than having something that just does "enoug ...

Pros: Great power, awesome machine
Cons: A little hard to clean

The Vitamix is an expensive machine and hard to find. But it is worth every penny! I have had my Vita-mix for quite some time and would not live without it! It is a regular appliance in my kitchen. You will not believe all the things you can make...

Pros: Excellent blending capabilities, multiple uses, easy to clean and maintain
Cons: Pricey

Simply an amazing machine

My new vita mix joined the rest of my appliance family early this month. I researched this purchase for over six months. I started asking on cooking message boards and health related message boards for advice in...

Pros: Replaces many machines
Cons: loud

I think I have wanted a Vita-Mix since back in the 70's. I never knew though this machine would be so versatile, it can do just about anything. I have used it to make fresh fruit smoothies, (they are the best). Just cut up your fruit and anything you...

Pros: powerful and convenient
Cons: expensive and loud

Aside from the time my dad tossed a metal spoon into the container, our two Vita-Mix 5000's have performed flawlessly for the past couple years.

The Vita-Mix is the same blender as the ones used in some commercial smoothie shops. Its powerful...

Pros: lives up to hype
Cons: expensive

This product truly lives up to the hype.

For years, I had been getting long winded advertisements from Vitamix on their blenders. From the description of all it could do, it really sounded too good to be true. I already had a blender, juice...

Pros: Definetly
Cons: How can anyone be against the Vita Mix

I bought my Vita Mix about five years ago. It does not wear out. I use it for everything. It chops vegetables, mixes quick drinks, grinds coffee, aides in cereal making, and much more. It is a simple machine but yet does so very much. I can't imagine...

Pros: Versitile, healthy, easy
Cons: a little expensive

I've had this product for over 2 years and I still use it all the time. I bought the product because I was tired of buying blenders that didn't crush ice, and I didn't want a bunch of appliances (Ice-cream maker, food processor, etc.). So I decided to...

Pros: Most Perfect Blender In the World!
Cons: Very Expensive

The Vita-Mix is beautiful. Not terribly attractive, but it is the only blender I've ever had that actually does what I expect a blender to do. I've had nice Kitchen-Aid blenders and tried some others, but the Vita-Mix does everything. It crushes ice,...

Pros: 5 stars
Cons: none

Finally found a machine that we can use to make all kinds of veggies and fruit drinks.Lost 10 pounds this first month using this machine and drinking the healthy foods required everyday.And you can eat as much veggies as you want without feeling you are...

Pros: Makes delicious, healthy drinks in seconds
Cons: Expensive

Although I'm a self confessed boob around the kitchen, I've mastered the many uses of our Vita Mix 5000 and have learned to love this product since we bought it last summer.

After a lot of research last year, my wife and I decided to upgrade...

Pros: Over powered, and Great to work with
Cons: it is a $300 dollar blender!

1st I would like to say 2 horsepower! The Vitamix has 2 horsepower. You could make a block of ice turn to snow in 10 seconds with that amount of power. It has to be THE NUMBER ONE BLENDER on the market today I would say it is the easiest to clean put a...
