Community Reviews
The Vitamix 5200 stands out as a powerful, long lasting blender that excels at smoothies, frozen drinks, and even tougher jobs like blending cooked bones for broth or pet food. The tall 64 ounce container is a major draw, especially for those who prefer its narrow shape and vortex for drinks, and the motor has a strong reputation for years of steady use. The main drawbacks are the lack of preset programs, the tall footprint, and the lid design, which can leak if overfilled or run too fast. It feels best suited to buyers who want classic Vitamix power and the included tall container.
Common Questions (5)
Yes, the included tall 64-oz classic container is the main reason to choose it for many buyers. The tall jar can help create a stronger vortex for drinks and smoothies, but it also limits future container flexibility compared with newer bases that can use more accessory options.
It can handle very tough jobs, including blending boiled turkey and chicken bones into broth for pets and making ice-based smoothies and piña coladas. The motor is described as powerful and long-lasting, though the tall container is especially suited to drinks and liquid-heavy blends.
No preset blending programs or self-cleaning mode are included on the 5200. It uses a manual variable-speed control, while the Costco Alta Pro adds smoothie and hot soup programs plus self-cleaning.
The 5200 has a 2.0 HP motor, 7-year warranty, no preset programs, and weighs about 10.56 lb; the Alta Pro has a 2.2 HP motor, 10-year warranty, smoothie and hot soup programs, a tamper indicator, and self-cleaning. The 5200 is taller at 20.5 inches, while the Alta Pro is shorter and may fit storage better.
The lid mechanism can leak if the container is filled too high or spun too fast, and the center plug can sit loosely. Another report says an older Super 5000 lid fits snugly, so the issue may depend on the lid/container match.

I have a Nutribullet now. While it works for personal smoothies main container is too wide so chopping ice, and preparing other things. Looking forward to Vitamix based on the what I hear from folks including you.
