What customers say about "Key Specs"

Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade, Self-Cleaning 64 oz. Container, White

Shreds everything you put in it (usually works best with a good amount of fruits/vegetables with high water content).
Easily adjust speed to achieve a variety of textures. The dial can be rotated at any point during the blend, so you’re in complete control.
The very large capacity 8+ cup mixing vessel is made of a strong plastic which makes it lighter than expected. The blade assembly is sharp and sturdy.
This blender has a variable speed rheostat so you have very good control and it also has a max speed mode which is faster than max-variable.
For things that you want to blend carefully you have to learn the blender's speed settings. It doesn't have automated settings like "chop" "puree" etc, its just numbers. I tried making a blended coffee with milk and it got whipped up a little more than I would have liked.

Vitamix 7500 with 32oz Dry Grain Jar and 2- 20oz To-Go Cups (Red)

Makes hot soup in 6 - 8 minutes and blends dry grains into fine powder.
I wanted the pulse button (because I have used that feature a lot with my Cuisinart) as well as the variable speed dial and the shorter, low profile jar. This Vitamix is fantastic.
The container has more than enough capacity for my personal needs. The motor is more than capable of handling the raw or frozen fruits & veggies I put in it.
After buying this 7500 I was very disappointed this model is just as loud as to 5200...and the speed is the same as the 5200 as it was stated in the write up.
Top speed seems to be a bit less, so some foods like hummus don't become as smooth.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade, Self-Cleaning 64 oz. Container, White

itamix jar has a nice rubber handle and solid feel to it. Feels heavy and substantial.
The plastic base exterior is solid and heavy.
It is relatively heavy because it is quality.
The size and shape of the 64-ounce container is ideal for blending medium to large batches.

Vitamix 7500 with 32oz Dry Grain Jar and 2- 20oz To-Go Cups (Red)

Nothing compares to this product. Heavy, Durable and works better then anything I’ve ever bought seems expensive yet it’s worth every penny.
The base is heavy and solid, with good feel to the controls.
Very versatile and powerful. Heavy and well constructed.
It is a little bulky and I wish the machine was a little quieter, but overall I'm happy with my purchase.

What customers say about "Features"

Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade, Self-Cleaning 64 oz. Container, White

VERY easy to clean! I was impressed that almost nothing sticks to the pitcher. Of course using sticky stuff like whey or peanut butter will require a bit more cleaning, but when I am just using veggies or fruit I can just rinse it out with some water.
Not as loud as many would have you believe. It's a blender, people. It sounds like a BLENDER. I'd put it a titch louder than your everyday blender, but the tradeoff is worth it.
The container is shatter-proof, and it is BPA-Free which is another huge plus. The parts are dishwasher safe.
Vitamix features a damper, which was nice when the contents stick.
The plastic top can be annoying to remove from the jar.

Vitamix 7500 with 32oz Dry Grain Jar and 2- 20oz To-Go Cups (Red)

Love the video instructions that came with this blender (such an ordinary name for something so extraordinary!). They made me feel like a pro.
It's easy to clean. Fill it up with water and a drop of soap (and for me occasionally I'll add a little white vinegar to get something greasy off of it) and let it whirl.
It has a 7 year warranty and they stand by their product. Made in the USA. I'm happy with that!!
It's super easy to clean - just don't use anything abrasive, it will scratch the plastic and I highly recommend avoiding the dishwasher. Hand wash only!
Crapped out making soup after 8th use. Have barely had it a year. Electrical smell and Motor froze after only using pulse mode.

What customers say about "Power"

Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade, Self-Cleaning 64 oz. Container, White

Powerful enough for thick recipes, like hummus.
This machine is even more powerful than my current machine, so I'm thrilled with this purchase.
Love the cord wonder under the base. Lots of power for smoothies and crushing ice.
The cord is exceptionally long, and it reaches any of my outlets (of which i have few).
As far as it's functionality, it has an incredibly powerful motor that crushes ice instantly.

Vitamix 7500 with 32oz Dry Grain Jar and 2- 20oz To-Go Cups (Red)

Awesome! fast, powerful and EASY to CLEAN!
I had the 5200 for about 6 years and liked it very much. Vitamix had a trade in program which I took advantage of. The 7500 is more powerful, fits under the counter, and I wanted red.
It is a wonderful, powerful blender that surpasses all others and the nice wide container is easy to empty and clean.
Powerful motor that blends smoothies and frozen drinks better than my previously owned blenders.
The powerful motor has no problem with frozen fruit/veggies, making awesome smoothies (use it almost every day!).
