Vitamix 5200 Blender

The Vitamix 5200 is the blender that built Vitamix's reputation - it's been in production for decades with only minor refinements, and for good reason. The tall 64-ounce container creates a powerful vortex that pulls ingredients into the blades better than shorter, wider containers. The 2.2 HP motor is slightly more powerful than the E310, and the 7-year warranty is two years longer. The tall container fits under standard cabinets, but just barely - measure your counter-to-cabinet clearance before buying. If you regularly blend large batches (family smoothies, party margaritas, bulk soup), the 5200 earns its premium over the E310. If you mostly blend for 1-3 people, save the money and get the E310. Either way, you're getting a blender that will easily outlast its warranty. Check Price on Amazon → As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
