Know before you buy
Yes, the blender is designed to handle hot liquids. The friction from the high-speed blades can actually heat cold ingredients to steaming hot temperatures in about six minutes.
The Vitamix 5200 is quite tall at 20.5 inches. We recommend measuring the clearance between your countertop and the bottom of your upper cabinets, as it may be too tall to slide underneath them.
The variable speed dial gives you full manual control, allowing you to fine-tune the texture of your blends from coarse chops to silky purees. While it features specific settings for tasks like smoothies and ice crushing, the manual dial is what provides the professional-grade precision Vitamix is known for.
While the large container is excellent for family-sized batches, this bundle includes a Personal Cup Adaptor specifically designed for individual servings. This allows you to blend directly into a smaller cup without needing to use the large pitcher.
Cleanup is simple: fill the container halfway with warm water, add a drop of dish soap, and run the blender on high for 30 to 60 seconds. The container and lid are also dishwasher-safe for a deeper clean.
The 7-year warranty covers the entire machine, including parts, labor, and two-way shipping if a repair is needed. It is a comprehensive guarantee that reflects the brand's commitment to the longevity of their professional-grade motors.
