Smart-Review Commentary: The Vitamix brand has an excellent reputation for some of the highest quality blenders on the market. The Vitamix 5200 Series blender maintains this tradition. The 5200 model is very powerful, with 1,380 watts and a 2.0 HP motor. (Garbage disposal motors are only 1/3 to 1 HP). A really nice feature is the Variable Speed Control Dial, which allows you to finely tune your power while blending. To prevent premature shutdown, which can occur with powerful blenders, the Vitamix 5200 has a thermal protection system with a radial cooling fan. What sets Vitamix apart from cheaper blenders is the higher quality components they use, including the 3-inch Laser-cut, stainless-steel cutting blades, and a Long 7 year warranty. This model has received outstanding consumer and professional reviews. Vitamix are leading blenders used in Starbucks, and fine restaurant kitchens. This model includes a tamper (for pushing ingredients down). This Vitamix model is a Smart-Review top pick in Blenders under $400.
