Vitamix 5200 Blender, Black
Create every course of your home-cooked meal-from frozen drinks to creamy desserts-in minutes. The Vitamix 5200 is the universal tool for family meals and entertaining.Blending too long at too low a speed setting will overheat the machine and cause the Automatic Overload Protection to turn the machine off. Use the High speed as often as possible to achieve the most uniform consistency. Blending on High speed also maximizes the motor’s cooling fan to avoid overheating.When making nut butters or oil-based foods, do not process for more than one minute after the mixture starts to circulate in the container. Processing for longer periods can cause dangerous overheating. The size and shape of the Classic 64-ounce container is ideal for blending medium to large batches. The blades in the Vitamix container reach speeds fast enough to create friction heat, bringing cold ingredients to steaming hot in about six minutes. With a drop of dish soap and warm water, your Vitamix machine can clean itself in 30 to 60 seconds.

ðWHIRLED ð Famous Blender ð. . . As Good as it Gets In the last 20 years Iâve owned no fewer than 5 different blenders â some better than others, but not one of them worthy of a good review. The last one was this which I was reasonably pleased with until the pitcher started leaking. So I bought a replacement pitcher and eventually it sprung a leak too.Iâve easily spent more than $600 on…
This is not a blender, it’s our way of life This isn’t just a blender. That’s what you have to tell yourself to actually spend the money on one of these things. I know there is that age old debate about Vitamix vs Blendtech but I’ve never tried a Blendtech because our Vitamix has been a work horse for years of daily use and still keeps going! It’s what my parents had, it’s what everyone in my family has and they all love it as much as we do. I guess it’s kinda like Ford vs Chevy. ;)Anyway, I’m going to make this short…
Not what I expected After 5 years of considering the purchase of a Vita-mix I finally took the plunge after seeing it at a Costco “roadshow”. I am not a big smoothie person, but I was motivated by my constant efforts to get more greens into my kids. Green smoothies sounded like a great way to do this painlessly. Also, I was enraptured by the demo of the tortilla soup, one of my favorites. I justified the price (yikes!) with the thought that this was going to be great for our ongoing efforts to get more veggies…
