Give yourself the gift of great health!
My Vitamix 5200 quickly earned a dedicated space in my NYC apartment where countertop real estate is a valued commodity. I use this commercial grade blender several times everyday to make whole food juices, fresh nut and grain milks, sauces, velvety smooth purees and emulsions, all in minutes and without attachments. The Vitamix blender even 'cooks' soup and hot chocolate. Clean up is a breeze too. Excellent customer service and a 7-year warranty are the icing on the cake!
