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.
