[upcycle]

what is the difference between the "professional series" and the "5200" models?

[metrokitchen]

@upcycle They are mechanically the same. The only differences being that the 5200 is exclusively sold through Vitamix and the CIA features a different recipe book.

I've had my VitaMix 5000 for SEVENTEEN YEARS and it works as well today as it ever did (and I use it practically every day). One of the best gifts I've ever received in my 51 years!!! AWESOME machine!!!!

YOU CAN MAKE SOUP!!! WTF!!!!

@NeoQuello where did you find that out?

[talentdetective]

Wellness Detective says I have had my vitamix for about 1 year now and really enjoy it. I use it mainly to make green smoothies for breakfast in the morning. I have a 5200 series and didn't realize that i could make frozen drinks as well as sorbet. Thank you for the new ideas.

@upcycle the 5200 is a little more updated

[josephtapper]

I bought my Vita Mix about 30 years ago for almost $300. It still runs like new. The old 3600. That's $10 a year! You can buy a cheap blender if you want but it will cost more than $10 a year. Vita Mix price may be high but the cost is low. Try to crush ice in a cheap blender and you will go through 2 a year. At $50 a pop that's $100 a year. NOW THAT'S AN EXPENSIVE BLENDER!!

@upcycle "5200" is made from industrial parts.. "professional" is made from aircraft and military parts...

[Skylark2020]

@TheLoserKingdom Yep... My Vita-Mix is about 20 years old (might even be a bit more) and I use it virtually every day. [Last used this morning...] Not only does it function like new, it LOOKS just about new, and is hardly distinguishable from whatever model they're making these days. And I've never had to have it repaired, or have any parts replaced (although I did buy 1 additional "wet" container). Truly worth every pretty penny to me...

@Skylark2020 Is it now 19 years old? That's amazing!
