How does this compare to the 750 that comes up on woot for $300 from time to time? Admittedly the woot 750 are the more out-there colors that are tough to match in the kitchen.

Renewed one seems to be the Vitamix e320, whereas this deal is the 5200. Seem like very similar models though

Taller base can be better as it creates the vortex.

I have the 750 from a price mistake (paid $241 a year ago) and think it's very nice. I only make shakes and smoothies so I can't comment on every preset but I haven't had any issues with anything Vitamix. It's definitely more powerful than 5200 but I don't know if it's enough to justify the extra cost especially at full price compared to this.
It's not 5200 is the gold standard and essentially all subsequent models are based on this, everything above and beyond is fluff and frills

Aren't all blenders self cleaning with a drop of soap and water? Well that is what I have always done anyway…
That was my first thought when I saw the post laugh out loud

Is this "self-cleaning" just because you can put soap and water in it and turn it on to clean? Or is there something else that makes it self cleaning? I've cleaned my old Vitamix that way for years - just didn't know why it was being marketed as self-cleaning.
Yeah I have the 5200, the self cleaning is just as you describe. Nothing special but it does do it very well. Half water and some soap and it gets just about every speck in 60s. It shouldn't be part of the title, but I guess it does do it technically.

This deal has a 7 year warranty from Vitamix whereas the renewed one only comes with 3 year.

Going to have to agree. The 5200 is almost under advertised as Vitamix would love for you to buy the new "smart" models with expensive attachments that have some sort of software self-detection when attached.

I spent way too long researching all the different and confusing models, watching youtube reviews that were clearly from paid shills pushing the newer versions (lookin at you life is noyoke), and reading descriptions from Vitamix themselves. I then got into reading user reviews. It became clear that the 5200 is the gold standard, the tall container lends itself to the best "Vortex" they're known for despite shorter smaller containers seeming more convenient. The smart features are not needed and too new to stand the test of time.

It's opinion and I haven't tested the newer ones. But as someone that works in software, I've found myself leaning towards tried and true products with no frills. I have no fear of a touchscreen button failing or something like that cause all the buttons are mechanical for example.

Anyway this wasn't supposed to be a huge rant but I did feel some frustration trying to decipher what model I actually wanted. Feels like Vitamix intentionally makes it unclear with Costco only models, ascent series, odd numbering schemes, etc. What ultimately pushed me over the edge was walking into a smoothie store and seeing them use what was basically a commercial version of the 5200. Not a smart series. If huge corporations swear by the more basic models, I figure that's the one to go for. It's been about a year and I love it.

Whatever you get, make sure it comes with their warranty. It's one of the best out there.
