OMG, Vitamix is not doing themselves any favors by having so many different models/options. It gives me anxiety just trying to figure out which one to buy (I currently have AT LEAST 10 tabs open for this). This is honestly the reason I haven't bought one yet (I've wanted one for years). This video and your website has really helped to clear things up so I think I will be buying one very soon, THANK YOU.
Sounds like the problem is you. But if you really need help with this, just do this, buy the cheapest reconditioned Vitamix you can with the 3 yr warrantee. IMHO, there is probably a 99% chance you will never need it serviced anyway. You'll probably have it 'till your dead! Then it doesn't matter anyway. Have it berried with you - I don't care but just buy it, use it and enjoy it. I bought ours on QVC and never regretted it whatsoever. Maybe I could have saved money buying from Vitamix directly but I really don't care because it's the BEST made. Don't wait anymore! BUY IT!! Geez! 🤨
They all do the same thing. Go for a strictly manual model without the unneeded digital display that adds to the cost and will likely breakdown. For God's sake, it's just a blender. The 5200 is a classic and popular choice
I feel you. I felt the same before I purchased mine in 2010. I got my VM0109 from QVC in Germany. Please check out their bargains, I am sure it won't be cheaper anywhere ❤ I would never give mine away.
My Vitamix doesn't especially have Model # or series. It was the only one available at the time. It is all 33 years ago and all metal. The selling points were a Lifetime warranty, it was shown to be so durable that it could turn wooden toy blocks into sawdust. A reversing motor, and that the speed of the blades heat the contents (soup,etc.) that is poured through the attached spout. Also using ice cubes, it freezes the contents into ice cream. I used my Vitamix to grind my grain into flour. Then the Vitamix would turn added ingredients together to make bread after kneading it. All in all, it was a great Wedding present, and shows no sign of problems. But with a Lifetime warranty shows that they put pride in their workmanship.
I just inherited my grandma's old vitamix. It doesn't have a model # as far as I can tell. It looks just like the 5200, only its an off white and says "vitamix total nutrition center" Just did my first blend on a partially homemade verde sauce. The thing is a boss! Love you, grandma. You'll always be with me. And for now in the kitchen too.
I too have the 5000 for the same amount of time. It's still working but I just bought the Pro 750 last week as n upgraded replacement with the intention of gifting my 5000 to my niece as a moving out gift after college (will buy a new container for her). The 5000 has been a dependable companion all these years!!
Purchased a 5200 series blender years ago, and at the time Vitamix were releasing the wide jar models. I called Vitamix and was told that both narrow and wide models blend well, but the narrow 5200 series does a better/faster job, especially for small batches due to the narrow blend vortex. The wide jar, as was explained in the video, is designed for medium to large size batches but takes a bit longer due to the wider blend vortex. I also asked about motor size, and was told the wide jar models need a slightly bigger motor to perform as well as the classic narrow models. A couple of years ago we also purchased a Explorian E310 with the narrow 48 Oz container and it performs the same as the 5200 series but is a bit louder. Not sure if it's louder because we use it in a much smaller area, or because the motor is different. One final note if you are a QVC shopper: They sell a Creations II blender that is essentially a 5200 series blender with a 5 year warranty rather than a 7 year warranty. They appear to be exclusive to QVC, and come in a variety of colors. I "inherited" a Creations II (after buying the Explorian E310) and it really is just a 5200 with a different name. Have thought about buying one of the new/advanced series, but already having three Vitamix blenders I'm not sure it's worth the money :) I was on the fence regarding the cost of Vitamix, but I'm sure glad I did buy one as it's an AMAZING blender!
I have the 5200, but find it is more than I need. For someone who only cooks for two, I think something a little smaller would serve us better like the E310 with the 48oz container, I'm sure that fits under a cabinet which I would prefer. Since I usually only use my blender for smoothies and an occasional soup, that would serve us the best. Thanks for the great comparison review.
just returned a 5200 and ordered a 5300 which i hope is shorter enough! considered snaller ones but wifey says if we're doing it we're really doing it probably should have watched this first
I have owned the Vitamix 5000 for over 25 years. It has been the workhorse of our home since it was new and I still use it almost every day. If you are looking for something that will last a lifetime Vitamix is the answer.
I have always wanted a Vitamix but was unsure which would be the right fit for me. With my new catering business fully underway, the A3500 is my dream machine. I love it!
I absolutely love my 6300! So much, in fact, it was the first household item I claimed in my divorce. It outlasted my first husband and was always far more reliable. Based on that alone, I will never get rid of it. However, because of its height, I have to store it in a cabinet. I think I would like to have a second model...Leaning toward the 3500 for its low profile aesthetic that would compliment my kitchen.
I also have the 6300 and love it. Got it about 5-6 years ago at Costco but this morning when making hummus, something was making a horrendous sound under the load, but relatively no noise with no load [i.e. water or just running without the container on it]. I'm dreading its probable demise but holding off until its last gasp.
"I love my Vitamix. I claimed it in my divorce. It outlasted my marriage and is far more reliable." 😂🤣😵💀 Based on that review alone, i know what blender to get.
I chose to go with the 5200, a year and a half ago, because of the container that can go from small to large batches. I really didn't want a touch screen, although I might have gone with the pro 750. You made everything very clear, and I would have loved to see this video a year ago. Thanks so much
@@alingeorge8791 me too! I like the shortness of the 750 but it seems like the narrow container is important for thick smoothies? Let me know how you like it!
Chiming in to say the 5200 has been in my household since 2014-ish and I’m currently using it to give my 10 year old a liquid diet which he’s now in love with. Like another comment or said, it’s outlasted my ex husband and was the first thing I wanted to claim. It’s done everything me and my three children and mother need so I have zero complaints 10 years later ❤
I bought my first Vitamix a year ago, the 5200 and love it. I have been toying with purchasing the dry container as I recently started milling my own wheat. I would love my next one to be one of the Accent series. I make everything from shakes to smoothies to nut butter in my Vitamix.
It will be a truly sad day for America if Vitamix ever stops making the 5200 Legacy. Not counting on that ever happening but if it did, then did I'd have to buy one of the last ones off the production line even though I don't need one. I'd just keep it as a backup in storage, in the event my 20 year old 5200 were to somehow become unfixable. That machine is so tough, I'm convinced it will outlast ME. I've tried the other models and they're alright. The newer machine designs aren't so much of an issue, but the newer wide jar designs don't work as efficiently as the classic tall jar design. The wider jars with longer blades cause "ingredient hop" which makes everything bounce around violently inside, ricocheting off the blades and slamming into the sides of the jar, rather than forcing it to cycle smoothly and vertically through the jar. This has the unfortunate side effect of aerating and whipping the ingredients because the jar design does not restrict their movement, making things come out more frothy and bubbly than they did in the classic jars. This is most noticeable when you're only filling up half the jar to make a single serving item. It's simply not the same kind of mixing vortex that the classic designs became famous for; that pattern has been right there in their logo for ages. And you didn't hear it from me, but in every circumstance I've tried, the classic jar designs seem to work just fine on the newer blenders, so give it a whirl if you have a newer machine and see if you don't agree. It's also a sign of our times that people think they need timer settings to use a blender. The "automatic programs" and "wireless jar detection" features are ultimately gimmicks to get people with short attention spans to part with their money. They're completely unnecessary if you posses more than a single brain cell. If you adjust your recipe in any way on a timed program, the ratio of ingredients means a timed setting won't produce the expected result, so you'll end up altering your blending time along with your ingredients anyways. This is all very easily solved by ... blending it yourself with manual controls! It doesn't take a lot intuition to know how long something needs to blend; you don't really even need to count seconds in your head, you can just see and hear what's going on inside the jar. It's ultimately your money to spend, but if you want some life advice from someone who's tried a fair share of overpriced kitchen gadgets with unnecessary features, just save your money for more important things and stick with what's worked for decades. You can't improve on perfection.
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful. I decided to get the 750 pro because I found a brand new one on Facebook for 300 bucks so that fit my budget. I have my eye on the ascent for the future.
At this point I might want to try a smart system model that could work with other self detect attachments and the longer warranty, although I am very happy with my 5200. We do use it mostly for smoothies, frozen fruit 'icecream", and for grinding flax seed and flours, and it's used mostly everyday.
The motor underneath lets off a slight smell and it's a little loud th-cam.com/users/postUgkxCKuMxLnvr6fJd_M4SE-n7trcGj3zEUHq but considering it's size and how hard it works to do the job, it's sort of expected. I assume the smell will go away over time. Overall, I love this cute little blender. The extra cups and lids are great too!
One of my friend gifted me a vitamix blender long back and it's still running solid after a decade, my mom already replaced 4 mixers in that period. Solid build quality and super powerful motor compared to the other brands, it can blend anything with an ease...
Thanks for this, I think this is the only video I've found on the entire internet that actually answers what the differences are between these blenders instead of just talking in circles. I'll be going with the A3500. Cheers!
So glad to help you make your decision finally! The A3500 is the one I have on my kitchen counter and I LOVE it!

Happy Blending! ~Tarashaun
What an awesome video! Thank you!! I’m used to the 5200 and need a second one…after all the explanations I think it’s what I’ll stick with! Recently started trying soups and ready to go 2 at a time 😂🎉
Vitamix Ascent A3500 blend, quiet, digital programming, recognizes container, 10 yr warranty. I have my original VitaMixer from the 80's. Hope to win this contest.
Thanks for a great video. Before watching I was going to start purchasing one of those green powders such as AG, but now thinking I should simply invest in a Vitamix and make my own.
I always think I want bigger but after buying one with a large container that has no option to add any smaller containers, I find I want smaller containers because they'd be easier to handle and clean. And I won't be able to overfill and make more than I really want to make. I think I'd prefer the Vitamix E310 with the 48 oz container, or maybe even better would be the Venturist V1200 with the really small container. I want to make smoothies and nut butters. I also just saw a video on grinding meat in the blenders, so I'd like to do that because ground chicken and turkey prices have skyrocketed. I'd also like to make mayo and some sauces. Bigger isn't always better, that's for sure.
Just wanted to thank you for your very informative video and the coupon code! Thanks to you, I decided to go with the Ascent 3500 I just got $100 off along with a cookbook and free shipping. This machine is going to help my whole family eat easier, and much healthier!
Thank you so much for helping support my small business Michael, I really appreciate it. Please be sure to forward your purchase confirmation email from Vitamix to freegift at blenderbabes.com to redeem my $50 in free gifts offer. :) ~Tarashaun
I would love the ascent A3500 as my husband would also be able to use the touch screen with ease. Smoothies and ice cream would be awesome with soup in winter
I watch a lot of TH-cam videos and have my favorite channels. I can tell this one will be one of my regulars. You've packed a lot of information in this video without a lot of lah-dee-dah. My Ninja blender/food processor broke (second one) and I told myself the next one would be a Vitamix. But which one? Now I know. I checked out your "deals" page and found a smoking good deal on a refurbished V2500. Sold. I'lll be back for the recipes. Thanks a lot!
I finally got a vitamix, FOR FREE! My grandmother passed about a year ago. I moved into her place with my aunt, my aunt needed help, i needed a place. Its all worked pretty well. She is also a member of AA and wont drink alcohol at all. I noticed she had inherited a vitamix. One day we were discussing kitchen organization, trying to place things better and gain a little space if possible. She noted that the blender and this big huge pot could go. I asked her, "you dont want that thing?" Pointing to the vitamix. She said nope, i figured it had to do with drinking. I told her i would love to take it if she didnt want it, and that i would love to use it for smoothing out sauces. She told me to have at it and that its mine. She said she was planning on throwing it out! I blended my first sauce tonight! Im one happy boy. Its an old model. But it means 1 million times more to me, knowing it belonged to my grandmother. Its like the tall skinny model in this video, only its white/offwhite. I didnt see a model number. It says vitamix total nutrition center on it.
I have vitamix blender almost 15 years, changed the container one time only , finally it’s time to buy new one now, this video gives much idea and make choosing more easier !
WOW! Thank you for such a great comparison. I was so lost. We currently have a Ninja, but when I did a smoothie last week as we prepare for a liver detox, my husband pulled out a branch of cilantro. Yep, was not good. SO... on my way to find my Vitamix! Thanks again!
Just got the E320. Love the simplicity of it yet able to attach a cup adapter for smoothies without having to go with a smart style blender. Has a 7yr warranty also! Thx for the info!
Wonderful video! You were awesome at explaining how everything works. I have never owned a Vitamix and I now know which model would work for me. Thank you so much! 😀
Good afternoon, my mother encouraged me to purchase one though it's pricey and took me a while, but finally I got one, which I want to send for my daughter in Trinidad who sells food and drinks and will do her great , because it's too too expensive there, then I'll try getting another one for myself, so this will help me with my purchase.

Hi there! I get it ;) I do offer a quick sales call to help you decide! You can schedule here: www.blenderbabes.com/blenderhelp

I would never give mine away.
My Vitamix doesn't especially have Model # or series. It was the only one available at the time. It is all 33 years ago and all metal. The selling points were a Lifetime warranty, it was shown to be so durable that it could turn wooden toy blocks into sawdust.

I used my Vitamix to grind my grain into flour. Then the Vitamix would turn added ingredients together to make bread after kneading it.
All in all, it was a great Wedding present, and shows no sign of problems. But with a Lifetime warranty shows that they put pride in their workmanship.
Our 30 plus year old Vitamix 5000 is still going strong. Simple off/on switch and variable speed knob has served us well.
I just inherited my grandma's old vitamix. It doesn't have a model # as far as I can tell.
It looks just like the 5200, only its an off white and says "vitamix total nutrition center"

I use a small 32oz jar for 90% of my uses on a Pro 750. Works very well and as you say, the narrow jars mix very well.
I have had the Vitamix Quiet One for 10 years. it is very durable!
Loved this video, it was very helpful in deciding which Vitamix to get for myself. The Vitamix E310 is the one for me.
i have wanted one of these for years it just blows my mind that u can fix hot or cold food in them so cool love it

Yes I’m between the same two blenders. I just got the pro 750. But I’m really leaning towards the 5200 because of the narrow jar.

Dry container has lots of great uses, grind coffee, Indian spices, grains.
Great information!! thank you so much
It will be a truly sad day for America if Vitamix ever stops making the 5200 Legacy. Not counting on that ever happening but if it did, then did I'd have to buy one of the last ones off the production line even though I don't need one. I'd just keep it as a backup in storage, in the event my 20 year old 5200 were to somehow become unfixable. That machine is so tough, I'm convinced it will outlast ME.
I've tried the other models and they're alright. The newer machine designs aren't so much of an issue, but the newer wide jar designs don't work as efficiently as the classic tall jar design. The wider jars with longer blades cause "ingredient hop" which makes everything bounce around violently inside, ricocheting off the blades and slamming into the sides of the jar, rather than forcing it to cycle smoothly and vertically through the jar. This has the unfortunate side effect of aerating and whipping the ingredients because the jar design does not restrict their movement, making things come out more frothy and bubbly than they did in the classic jars.
This is most noticeable when you're only filling up half the jar to make a single serving item. It's simply not the same kind of mixing vortex that the classic designs became famous for; that pattern has been right there in their logo for ages. And you didn't hear it from me, but in every circumstance I've tried, the classic jar designs seem to work just fine on the newer blenders, so give it a whirl if you have a newer machine and see if you don't agree.
It's also a sign of our times that people think they need timer settings to use a blender. The "automatic programs" and "wireless jar detection" features are ultimately gimmicks to get people with short attention spans to part with their money. They're completely unnecessary if you posses more than a single brain cell.
If you adjust your recipe in any way on a timed program, the ratio of ingredients means a timed setting won't produce the expected result, so you'll end up altering your blending time along with your ingredients anyways. This is all very easily solved by ... blending it yourself with manual controls! It doesn't take a lot intuition to know how long something needs to blend; you don't really even need to count seconds in your head, you can just see and hear what's going on inside the jar.
It's ultimately your money to spend, but if you want some life advice from someone who's tried a fair share of overpriced kitchen gadgets with unnecessary features, just save your money for more important things and stick with what's worked for decades. You can't improve on perfection.

I think the best one for me would be the Vitamix Iconic 5200 - it's so versatile!

First time anyone has actually explained the differences and what would be suited for me! Thank you.

I also just saw a video on grinding meat in the blenders, so I'd like to do that because ground chicken and turkey prices have skyrocketed. I'd also like to make mayo and some sauces. Bigger isn't always better, that's for sure.
Great comparison, but curious how loud each model is relative to the other.
Seriously this video answered all the questions I had. Thank you.
You're very welcome! Glad I could help. :) Which blender did you decide is best for you?
Thanks for putting together this comparison!
Just wanted to thank you for your very informative video and the coupon code! Thanks to you, I decided to go with the Ascent 3500 I just got $100 off along with a cookbook and free shipping. This machine is going to help my whole family eat easier, and much healthier!
I really want the A3500 blender it will work the best for me and family
Have had a Vitamix for years now still works great .
Thank you for your review! My father wants to get one and I want to make sure we get the right one.
Hi I used your link an bought the A3500 Gourmet SmartPrep Kitchen System and a few accessories. Thanks for the review, it was very helpful.
Thank you so much for helping support my small business Michael, I really appreciate it. Please be sure to forward your purchase confirmation email from Vitamix to freegift at blenderbabes.com to redeem my $50 in free gifts offer. :) ~Tarashaun
@@BlenderBabes I did that the same day you sent me the note. When will I get the response?
@@michaels5705 Hi! I'm not seeing it in my inbox. Can you please send to freegift@blenderbabes.com again?
Very informative video, thank you so much. This makes it easy to decide what blender is best.
i want the 5200 to start with and make some orange juices
I would love the ascent A3500 as my husband would also be able to use the touch screen with ease. Smoothies and ice cream would be awesome with soup in winter
Awesome review. Thank u!!
I watch a lot of TH-cam videos and have my favorite channels. I can tell this one will be one of my regulars. You've packed a lot of information in this video without a lot of lah-dee-dah. My Ninja blender/food processor broke (second one) and I told myself the next one would be a Vitamix. But which one? Now I know. I checked out your "deals" page and found a smoking good deal on a refurbished V2500. Sold. I'lll be back for the recipes. Thanks a lot!
Yay!! So happy to help and THANK YOU for purchasing through me! ~Tarashaun
I finally got a vitamix, FOR FREE! My grandmother passed about a year ago. I moved into her place with my aunt, my aunt needed help, i needed a place. Its all worked pretty well. She is also a member of AA and wont drink alcohol at all. I noticed she had inherited a vitamix. One day we were discussing kitchen organization, trying to place things better and gain a little space if possible. She noted that the blender and this big huge pot could go. I asked her, "you dont want that thing?" Pointing to the vitamix. She said nope, i figured it had to do with drinking. I told her i would love to take it if she didnt want it, and that i would love to use it for smoothing out sauces. She told me to have at it and that its mine. She said she was planning on throwing it out!
I blended my first sauce tonight! Im one happy boy.
Its an old model. But it means 1 million times more to me, knowing it belonged to my grandmother.
Its like the tall skinny model in this video, only its white/offwhite. I didnt see a model number. It says vitamix total nutrition center on it.
I started with that Vitamix! It will last you many more years! Congrats on your first one :) ~Tarashaun
@@BlenderBabes Salute!
I have vitamix blender almost 15 years, changed the container one time only , finally it’s time to buy new one now, this video gives much idea and make choosing more easier !
i cdont have a vitamix anymore so this is great to decide which i will get
Great comparison, thanks for the video!
You're welcome Andre! :)
Great video thank you. Makes me want a Vitamix
Thank you for the contest!
Thank you for the great information. I'm in the market for a good blender and all the choices are overwhelming.
Thank you for the informative video. I have an old off brand blender & would love to upgrade.
Nice video. Thanks for making it!
WOW! Thank you for such a great comparison. I was so lost. We currently have a Ninja, but when I did a smoothie last week as we prepare for a liver detox, my husband pulled out a branch of cilantro. Yep, was not good. SO... on my way to find my Vitamix! Thanks again!
Would love to be able to gift one of these to my mother. She’s been looking to buy one of these for awhile now
I just got a new E310 haven't tried it yet but look forward to that
Just got the E320. Love the simplicity of it yet able to attach a cup adapter for smoothies without having to go with a smart style blender. Has a 7yr warranty also! Thx for the info!
You're welcome Norma! Glad you got the blender that's best for you! :) Happy to help ~ Tarashaun
I just bought one ..the recipe book is very small...misses instructions..I also thought it could make hot soups..
@@jeanninemarion4902 All vitamixes do, if you blend long enough. 6 mins is roughly how long, but look up recipes.
Thanks for the great information!
The Ascent A3500 looks incredible! I would love to make soups and hummus with it.
Can I grind whole grain into flour or sugar in powder sugar?
Awesome stuff.
This is awesome! Always wanted one
Which one is the quietest of the group?
thank for the update
I love it, thanks for review
Been wanting to get one of these.
Wonderful video! You were awesome at explaining how everything works. I have never owned a Vitamix and I now know which model would work for me. Thank you so much! 😀
So glad to hear it! thank you for sharing. So which vitamix did you decide on?
I decided on the Ascent Series. Mainly because of the 10 year warranty.
Really informative, thanks!
I love how you have a choice of hot or cold food.
thanks for the info
A friend showed me her Vitamix Blender and raved about it so I'm definitely interested!
I want Ascent 3500 the most. The types of things I want to make in your blender is smoothies,blend soups !
Thank you!!!! I finally know what blender to use. I used to use whatever was in my parents house, but now I actually have a choice!!
Good info, thanks
Thanks for the chance to win guys!
Love the programmable one
I would love town one of these blenders someday but right now I couldn't afford it but someday I will. Its on my wishlist.
What a great blander thank you for showing!
Nice informative video, with some handy information.
I would love this blender for making hummus
I love my Vitamix - healthy smoothies for breakfast every morning. Thanks for the video
Think I prefer the Vitamix 5200 for its cool set of features
Good afternoon, my mother encouraged me to purchase one though it's pricey and took me a while, but finally I got one, which I want to send for my daughter in Trinidad who sells food and drinks and will do her great , because it's too too expensive there, then I'll try getting another one for myself, so this will help me with my purchase.
What an amazing mom you are!
