Vitamix 5200 vs. Professional Series 750 - The Apple Test

[@ureviews]

Pro 750 Product page: www.extrafudge.com/ref/B00C6MWPNK CIA product page: www.extrafudge.com/ref/B000RRKQKA Thanks for the awesome comments.

[@seekfactsnotfiction9056]

Have you done any comparison between the 750 vs the 5300?

[@AMBUSHREBOUNDS]

You know the Vitamix 750 is like Blendtec and the 5300 It’s like Oster Versa

[@arlofs]

Performance is the same across the Vitamix lineup. The difference is in the jar. Each jar serves a different purpose.

[@WarMage]

American test kitchen mentioned the taller narrower container shape in their video causes a “coarser” result like you got in your video, so you didn’t do anything wrong. But they also mentioned that if you taste the end product of something like a smoothie it feels creamier, less frothy, and overall tastier. So depending on what you’re doing and your own smoothie preferences, you may still want the taller carafe of the 5200.

[@hudharizzy795]

God I trusted the ATK and I bought the 5200 but after watching this video it’s a second guess. 😢

[@WarMage]

@@hudharizzy795 i also bought the 5200 a few years ago, and personally I love it for smoothies, really creamy almost silky texture imo... and also the not breaking down of every single last molecule put into it has come in handy when blitzing up chipotle peppers, i can just strain out some of the seeds after if i want to tone down the heat a touch... but yeah, some may prefer the 750, also note, you can you just buy the shorter carafe separately

[@EJ-jk7eo]

LOVE my fat 750. Super powerful! Impressed everytime! Worth every dollar.

[@GENOMCHAOS]

When I saw this test, I said sure it blended better. But the test from my eyes, was more of seeing it as the blender as a juicer vs a smoothie maker. So personally, I think it just depends on whether you like your smoothies juiced or thicker. I guess it depends on what your application is of the blender.

[@jokeymaster1183]

Would the jar from the 750 work on the 5200? If it does maybe switch the jars and compare the results.

[@paullanghorn7493]

I have a Vitamix 5200, which costs around $450. If you use the standard 64 ounce container which comes with the 5200, you will get a different result blending compared to the short 64 ounce container which I prefer and does a better job in my opinion.

[@rinadelaplane4904]

Vitamix is still the best!!! I have a Vitamix Commercial Max 4000. It has to be about 30+ years old. I use it every day for many things. It is still the best, since it holds up under constant use. Best money I ever spend!!!!

[@DelbertStinkfester]

Do the experiment with the same containers and then you will have a more accurate result

[@joshedwards8985]

they aren’t interchangeable.

[@harryingd2674]

Bruh they come with different containers so you test it in the ones that they come with

[@riptide10x60]

In reality you actually did a test between the tall narrow container and the shorter wider container which wasn't your goal but I still find the info useful.

[@terrijuanette486]

Riptide 10x You are so right! Wished I had seen this prior to buying my 5200! But I bought it long before this video was posted. Le sigh.

[@Jerry-me1fy]

@@terrijuanette486 yeah you should buy the more expensive models, the 5200 I think Is their cheap one. Then you can put whatever container on the top you want to use for blending👍

[@terrijuanette486]

@@Jerry-me1fy ​ I got a Blendtec because I could get the sound barrier with it for hundreds less expensive than Vitamix...still, it was around $1K. Ouch! The Blendtec blends faster but I'm not sure it's a stronger motor as I just blended up some hummus and the motor overheated. That never happened with my old Vitamix but it did with the new Vitamix which it why I had to take it back in under a year. Seems like the 'high end' blenders are going for non-metal parts underneath where we can't see them and charging us more for the the electronics. I don't care about the fancy stuff as much as I care about it lasting more than a year or two. When I pay more than $500 for a blender, every moving part in the engine should be metal or ceramic coated metal. Anything else is just asking for the customer to give you poor reviews. I say, "Charge me what you need to (but don't gouge me) and give me something that lasts or I will not be with you for long." The amount that Vitamix charges for their sound dampening cage is ridiculously overpriced. It's solid plastic, cheap to make, and it's identical to the Chinese versions on Amazn. It should not cost more than $50. Period.

[@bigfoot4000]

The Next Generation (7500) has a 4" blade. The Classic (5200) has a 3" blade. Attempting to grind up anything that is larger than the blade diameter will require the use of the tamper.

[@kgv1997km3000]

Thank you so much for this video! This finally convinced me to purchase the 750 instead of the 5200! Worth the extra price! Thanks!

[@ninjanerdbjjandfitness9544]

i have no complaints about my 5200. its awesome. got it refurbished for $350. 750 is better though. buy it just for the shallower container.

[@sonofnothing]

i agree with Joe Momma The 5200 is half the price, refurbished, and for what, a tablespoon of applesauce? the reason the apple didnt blend to begin with, is because the narrower container doesn't allow the apple to reach the sides of the blades, and it kinda just spun on top. throw the wide container on the 5200, and the apple would be toast, just like the 750 does here.

[@danlivni2097]

My favorite smoothie to make is using fruits is. I use 4 slices of cantaloupe, 5 slices of Watermelon, 5 slices of Honeydew, half an Orange, one ice cube and a little spring water. This comes out great

[@Patrick10271995]

At first I thought taller container is better. But seeing this and another comment that wider container allows for longer blade thus higher speed at the farthest part of blade from the center at same rpm of shorter blade in taller containers with shorter blade. Also, wider container is easier to scrape stuff inside.

[@ureviews]

Agree!

[@lauraaustin1998]

I have the CIA Vitamix. It is great. You can't go wrong with a Vitamix. Enjoyed the video.

[@terrijuanette486]

It's nothing you've done wrong or 'differently'. It's just science. When the container is wider, though the inner speed is the same, the velocity of the outer mixture in the wider container would be faster. It's the same as if you're on a merry-go-round. The other edge of the merry-go-round spins faster than the center. This is the reason that the mixture in the wider container gets chopped up more finely than in the older, narrower container. I also noticed that the new low profile model actually incorporates more air as well and the resulting mix was lighter in color. Did you notice that too?

[@ClearAutumnFestival]

+Terri Koonce-Tom You seem quite knowledgeable. What top end vitamix should i go for?

[@riptide10x60]

+RedDuppers, I would suggest you go to www.blenderlady.com where all the different models are described in detail and you will get professional help choosing the right machine. I bought mine from her and she saved me a lot of money. I bought refurbished 7500 and we all absolutely love it.

[@bpdrafting7913]

+RedDuppers Like Terri said, it's not the model, it's the carafe. If you switched the carafe's on these machines, the results will show the "short fat carafe" as better than the "tall skinny carafe". The guy is actually kind of an idiot for making this video and claiming it's the blender... NOT the carafe. He REALLY needs to blend some brain food and drink a few gallons.

[@vulturnuszan]

+Terri Koonce-Tom while this explanation may seem logical, I dont believe its correct. And can offer an alternate explanation. if you observe the two blenders mixing side by side you can see that the mixture is more stable in the wider blender and in the narrow blender the mixture jumps up and down inside the blender. in the narrow blender while the mix is pushed up away from the blades it's not being blended/affected by the blades in the wide blender the mix spends more time being affected by the blades because it sits lower and doesn't jump around nearly as much. so essentially in in the wider blender the mix spends more time actually being blended in the same overall time.

[@terrijuanette486]

+cnx2022 I have been cooking and following recipes since I was small.and know that when you whip up something that's not white, (to incorporate more air) the color becomes lighter. So, to me, it was obvious but it might not be to others. You can go to 3:11 or thereabout and pause the video to look at the two carafes. The mixture in the wider container (on the left) is lighter than the one in the taller container which is due, at least in part, to the incorporation of more air. :-)

[@vbloc7577]

I went from cheap ass blender to cheap ass blender, then I got a Vitamix 5200. It does just fine... Mixes up ANYTHING... Just look at videos of it.. You'll never go back to a regular blender again. Do your research before you spend a lot more on the new blender when the 5200 will do everything for you. I did :) Good Luck Folks!

[@AngelGarcia-fm1su]

If you bought the new wide jar 48oz jar that fits the 5200 you will be able to get the same results as the 750 pro..

[@LAKSHMIANGELES]

@@AngelGarcia-fm1su GRACIAS POR LA INFO, NO SABÍA ESO. ENTONCES, ¿EL MOTOR ES EL MISMO? TAMPOCO SABÍA Q ELLOS TENÍAN 1 CONTAINER ANCHO PARA LA 5200. NECESITO 1 PARA LA MÍA. BLESSINGS... ✌💚

[@matabdhillon3597]

Agree

[@kberken]

The low profile really works the same as the taller standard models. The differences are worth noting. Low profile (750) is quieter and sits under the counter. You can't blend small amounts in that container so you need to also buy the 32 oz container, which you will use a lot. The 750 costs more. I have the low profile 300 series, which is the same as the 750 but without the presets. I don't see the value in presets for the added cost. My son has the standard 5200 and loves it. It can take small amounts. The down side is that it's just a big container to wash when you're making only a couple cups of something. It can't fit under the counter. And it's noisier. But the performance is the same for a lower price. I'd recommend the low profile, no presets, add the 32oz container. This is going to be your blender forever. Get the best you can afford.

[@tajak]

The right apple was perfectly washed though...

[@peggyunderhill601]

The 5200 is the preferred model for ATK. The presets are an expensive option. I’ve had my refurbished 5200 for 9 years. Still going strong. I bought the small we carafe which I use most of the time, but the large one makes short work of chopping cabbage. About 3 seconds.

[@Scentobsessedemma]

I'm so happy because we just purchased the new 750 and I'm just going to sell my old 5200 (still under 2 years old). The 5200 did me so well but I'm way more excited for the wider, shorter jug and longer blades. The processing power looks so much better I think Vitamix have outdone themselves with this new design model! It looks like the tamper won't be needed as often and less air seems to get into the blend which also looks good! Excited!!!

[@elizabethG633]

[@lucilarodriguez4694]

Thank you very much for this video. You helped me to make my decision!!!

[@Shahrdad]

In all their tests, America's Test Kitchen also puts the 750 on top each and every time. They think it has something to do with the narrow container and the vortex it creates, which doesn't allow too much air to get sucked into the fluid.

[@zelmoziggy]

Cooks Illustrated magazine, which produces America's Test Kitchen, ranks the 5200 and the 750 both "highly recommended" but gives the 5200 an extra half of a star for smoothies. The 5200 is the one with the narrower container.

[@jsonger22]

It's the width of the jar. Try the test using the wide jar on the 5200 and the tall jar on the 750. Bet the results will be reversed. The wider jar allows the contents to pass easier into the blades. Make another video and try it. Look at the whole apple test. That's all I needed to see.

[@sonofnothing]

exactly. someone with a brain!

[@gladitsnotme]

So you're saying vitamix sells the 5200 with a wide jar? OH NO, THEY DON'T. They want to gyp you out of an extra $200 for it. So it looks like this video is accurate.

[@winkieman666]

Would like to know if the jars are interchangeable?

[@1auntievenom]

@@winkieman666 they are.

[@chrisart2211]

I think that the 5200 is for smoothies

[@davidbee8178]

The new "smart" Vitamix blenders(eg A3500 )compensate for the different sized containers (48oz vs 64 oz for example) and automatically adjust the time it takes to make the same recipe. The smaller the container, the longer it takes to make the same recipe. The way I understand things, the advantage of the smaller container is that it makes it possible to make smaller batches of the same recipe thereby helping us to reduce waste or having to store what we don't need. (the larger wider container will not mix SMALLER QUANTITIES of ingredients optimally )

[@LauraLutz-mv6ci]

I LOVE my 5200!! ❤️

[@frankjimenez1266]

Finally a good video comparison of vitamix!!!!

[@TheCAG1976]

A good test! I agree with others. The obvious is the wide contender. I have an A2300 Ascent which has a wide jar. Like the 750 it liquifies great!

[@Bubbles99718]

The one on the right made a creamy puree. Much preferred to an aerated watery liquid.

[@piercetheveil5]

I bought the 5200 and i love it!at least its better than other brands

[@TonyMontana-rv2yq]

I have bought the 5200. Sure, the Pro 300 is certainly a little better, but that is not worth the high price difference. The 5200 in Germany costs € 544 ($ 605) and the Pro 300 costs € 694 ($ 772)! Pro 750 is € 894 (995 USD)

[@peggyunderhill601]

Just cut the apple into quarters. Takes 10 seconds, then it blends perfectly in the 5200. And saves a bunch of cash. Mine going strong after 8; years of daily use.

[@HavokBWR]

Maybe watch the whole video?

[@kat32256]

Thankyou for this video I was tossing up between these two models and this has convinced me that the 750 is worth the extra money. To the commentors who had an issue with the different container size. The wider (low profile) container does not come with the TNC 5200 so even if that is what makes the difference this is still a unbiased, fair comparison of the differences between these two models.

[@danlivni2097]

I like the wider jar better on the 750 than the very tall jar on the 5200

+Oat Milk You're welcome. Downsview (north Toronto) and Etobicoke (southwest Toronto) are the locations. I think there's a "special events" link on the front page, not sure though. It usually lists all shows for the various locations. But they told me to be sure to phone the warehouse first just in case an event gets cancelled on a day. The last time I was there Blendtec was doing their show. Their blenders look flimsy compared to the Vitamix, though.

[@oatmilk4454]

Sashine B. Oh ok... Sashine im a bit confuse thou in what to choose.. I would love both the 32 oz wet and dry container.. But really dont know what model vitamix to choose.. If its the 5200/7500.. What do you suggest?

The texture is different I like the 5200 cause there is no foam, the vortex tunnel is smoother

[@riptide10x60]

If you are making an expensive long term investment like a Vitamix it makes sense to buy the best model available, even if it cost a little more. You will thank yourself everytime you use it for the next 10+ years!

There is no "best model."

[@dawnwagoner8307]

I have the 750. I’m happy with it. I can’t use the new food processor accessories it has to be a digital vitamin machine

[@smoked1bluefish]

Did the 750 run directly out of the wall, and the 5200 off an extension cord? If so, was it a long cord? Also, if so, were there other things running off its (the 5200's) source?

[@greenparrot7360]

It's all about the container and the blades just get the 64 oz low profile container and you will get the same quality in both blenders

[@sealand000]

Have you tried switching the containers around?

[@bl6973]

It’s literally jar width, the tapered jar is better though, it can do smaller batches and incorporate less air. There is nothing different just jar width, things just blend faster.

[@Daniel-hy1kc]

does the Vitamix jars still emit the black Teflon particles in the drinks, smoothies etc.? Has Vitamix corrected the problem especially with the 750

[@susanmeehan2023]

I wish this test was done with the same kind of container. I totally agree with some earlier posts. First thing I thought of is that it's the containers more then motor. You aren't comparing apples to apples. he he.

[@martincarlberg9671]

That is the whole point, its the container that makes the diffrence.

[@Marathonracer]

+Susan Meehan You cannot use the low profile container on the 5200 since the longer 4" blades require the 2.2 horepower motor of the 750. You are trying to compare apples with oranges by calling them both "apples' (the same container used on both, which he cannot do)) and that's not too bright, since Vitamix warns theyr'e not interchangeable on the two machines. he he . He could have tested the 5200 container on the 750 , which IS compatible, but it's meaningless because the low profile container would probably win. However since it comes with the 750, it's a moot point. he he.

[@JH-tj9jd]

That would be like comparing the red 750 to the stainless 750, same motors. It's the design being tested here, not the motors.

[@ThePanapower]

Thank you men after several videos. This is best video comparasion👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@rochajohanna]

I did that demonstration but it is normal that the juice was warm after blending the apple?

[@jimmyzelski7742]

Yes. At Vitamix demos they often show how they can make hot soup by blending the ingredients at high speed for about 6 minutes. The friction between the high-speed blades and the food heats it up.

[@llllcryptxllll]

That's the big problem of all those high speed blenders, they kill nutriments quite fast if you don't care enough. For example from 45° to 50°C certain enzymes have been killed. From 60° - 75°C Destruction of vitamin C... etc.

[@ericgoeffrey4189]

The whole idea of the Vitamix is to make hot soup without boiling away the nutrition. When you make soup with the Vitamix you are getting all the nutrients. Not sure what you are talking about Phillip

[@sehryn]

Id like to see almond milk comparison. I am torn. Do I buy the last new now discontinued 5200 with 7yrs warranty or a rare hard to find 5yr old Pro 750 for the same price? Which one? I’m vegan and need a good blender especially for nut milks.

[@ureviews]

Get the 5200, I think difference is negligible. But depends on price....

[@tenore8]

Clearly because the 750 has a wider container.

[@VRRider]

I think its all in the containers. The low profile is wider and allows for the stuff to spread out where as the narrow there is little room to spread out and can only go up and come back down. I would say run the tests with the same container

Hmmm. Wouldnt it be easier if you cut the apple in four quarters or even in half? I dont know. I would be nervous putting a whole apple into any machine. I"ve seen so many other reviews comparing the 5200 to the more expensive, updated models and the general consensus is usually the 5200 consistantly out-performs the others.

I think so,. This is not exact science... Because organic stuff have different levels of water you have to adjust to your liking of thickness.

[@NytronX]

I went with the 5200, a.k.a. Professional Series 200. It was under $300 on amazon prime via amazon.com, factory reconditioned with 5yr warranty. Couldn't find a Professional Series 750 for under $500-ish. Seems like a giant price difference when technology is same platform. As for that first apple test. I bet if you restarted in the same manner, the apple wouldn't have gotten stuck like that. It was a fluke. But that's the thing that makes vitamix the best blender, sometimes things get stuck and need encouragement with tamper tool. Your last test where to strain shows a measurable difference. I think that is due to the jar design. I actually prefer pulp in my drinks, so no biggie for me.

Also ice cubes will make a difference. I have the 3600 model and have had just as little pulp after the ice was gone.

[@M.J.2012]

That is a good comparison video, at most the second part, impressive. About the first part: If you would not beginn at the lowest speed I guess the apple would have gotten blended in the 5200 too.

[@1timby]

Don't these units have the same motor's? So then since the only real difference is the blades & jar then the test is invalid.

[@scottytc]

It's good for picking model, they still sell both and there's a huge price difference.

[@S0LIDUS]

+1timby You can always get the wider bottom jar for the 5200, all the jars are interhangeable, so there's no point in getting the 750 unless you want the extra presets. The 2.2HP motor thing is a joke cause you will never be able to get the whole 2.2 HP out of a 15AMP circuit.

[@Marathonracer]

+S0LIDUS You can't use the low profile container on a 5200. It demands the 2.2 horsepower newer motor because of the 4" blades. Being able to use the standard container of the 5200 on the 750 does NOT mean that the reverse is also true , but he should have used the tall container from the 5200 with the 750 and that would have proved whether it was the container or the power. But it's a mute point, because even if it is the container, you can't use it with the 5200.

Obviously the machine with the less pulp is the slightly better machine. Both did excellent jobs

[@paulsmith4220]

Has the 5200 been used a lot more than the 750? If so it is reasonable that the blades are sharper on the 750. An apples for apples test would be two new blade units.

Wouldn't matter, Vitamix uses dull blades. They start that way so that the blades would perform the same day 1 and day 1000. (I sell the machines)

[@TheDietGod]

+KRAKEN910 Yes I've noticed (as many other pissed off Vitamix customers) that after blending water for a few seconds that small black particles show up in the mixture. There's a video of this you can easily find, youtube "Vtamix black sludge" and you shouldn't have a problem seeing it. But I've noticed that it's primarily on the tall 64 & 48 oz jars found on the 6300/5200 models. I haven't seen this on the new 7500/350/750 Pro models, they use the shorter wider 64 oz jars. But the New Gen Vitamix cost more and if you're a fan of leaky blade gaskets then the Blendtc is famous for that. The Waring MX models might be the last solution yet I've heard rumors of even the Waring having black sludge too, but they do offer a large steel jar so that automatically puts Waring ahead of Vitamix & Blendtec.

All 100% organic. My breakfest before work :D

Samma här! :D

shit man that's a lotta spoons

[@lovablevietboy]

Can you use the low profile for the 5200?

[@ureviews]

I believe you can, I would call Vitamix and confirm though.

[@Dobemandan]

I have the 750 and it's awesome! You did nothing wrong

[@rostharan]

Here is the difference, it's all about physics. When you use blenders at high speed, you create air bubble -> Foams, which pushes pulps upward. Therefore, when you have a narrower tube, the foam forms a layer on top of the convection process, thus making the process less efficient than the wider one. Because the foam layer of the wider one is thinner for the same volume. But that's how i see it.

[@rostharan]

@@ureviews hmm, are they the same price? cuz the tall one would cost less in material to produce (shorter blade, less plastic). Maybe that's how they optimized their sales. Considering by doing so, they can also keep a bigger variety of container in stock ready, if a client ever needs a peculiar size and type. But yeah, i do see the point of a winning formula and just go for it.

[@ureviews]

Apologies I answered about a different product 😊

[@samgab]

I just about pulled the trigger on a 5200, but after watching this I'm seriously considering going to the 750 pro instead...

[@Mike-rq1pt]

I'm getting the 750

[@desmirage]

Fiber is good for you. What's the big deal? I'd prefer the 5200

[@kennash7736]

The blenders have blades of different diameters @ 3" & 4". The larger the diameter, the faster the blade tip moves at the same RPM. A faster blade speed results in a smoother texture. Same deal why a windmill, which looks like it is moving slow, kills birds. Here's the math for erudite types on a 100m windmill @ 15 RPM has a 175 MPH tip speed: Speed, S, is simply a change in distance over a change in time. Miles per hour, or mph in North America, is the most common unit. The equation looks like this: S = d/t To find tip speed, we need the rotor diameter and rotational rate. So assume a rotor diameter of 100m and a rotation rate (ω) of 15 revolutions/min, rpm. Distance in this case is the circumference C of the rotor’s circle, which is found with: C = πD Where D = diameter in meters, m So our 100m rotor describes a circumference of: C = π x 100m = 314m, therefore S = 314m x 15 rotation/minute = 4,710 m/min A Google search says to convert m/min to mph, multiply by 0.0372 [mph / m/min]. Hence, Smph = 4,710 m/min x 0.0372 = 175 mph. I'm assuming, increased tip speed = increased motor resistance and the reason for the .2 HP increase in the 7500. I'm also assuming, you never thought you'd be getting the environmental dangers of, some types of green energy sources...... In a Vitamix review! lol But seriously, windmills on land are reckless and show lack of foresight for flying species. In a Vitamix bring on the speed for the best green smoothy. Thanks for the practical test guys proving the theory. 7500 it will be for me.

[@wesleyjordan8349]

Except that the Vitamix 7500's 4" blade tip speed is actually slower. It runs at 24,000 Rpm's. The Tall container with the 3" blade runs at 37,000 rpm's at tip speed. In order to achieve the same blend quality (which they do) blade tip speed could not be equal, but internal rotation is the same. You're not getting any better blend with the 7500 vs. the 5200.

[@Goodforyouliving]

does the wide jug (low profile) work on the 5200?

[@russ5024]

Some say no, it fits but it also strains the motor due to the bigger blades in the wider jug/carafe/jar.

[@stogies3]

Shape of the container made the difference,too bad the 5200 doesn’t come with the wide container, but you have to pay an extra $160 for it,which brings it very close to the 750pro pricewise.

[@chevyguy6961]

Just don't make hot soup in the low profile jar with your 5200, you'll overheat the motor. Otherwise it works fine.

[@gordonapihema743]

It will give me food for thought, just wanted to see the difference thanks

[@CallistoAshus]

This video was very telling. Thank you

[@PopcornSimulationGaming]

you account for the difference with the jugs not the moter fail test

[@lintaichen]

謝謝你 我可以考慮買 750型號…

[@paulsmith4220]

Thanks Jonathon - fair enough.

[@gipstetz6720]

Both are Great. Somethings work better in the 5200...some in the 750. Just ask America's Test Kitchen.

[@edmundooliver7584]

the 5200 looks like a smoothie the 750 looks like apple juice

[@randygreen7871]

Excellent video thank you!

[@jvr002]

For this competition to be fair the jars have to be the same size or switch them and then check the results

[@calvinburr1248]

Not a good or thorough test for comparison. America's Test Kitchen compared several high-end blenders including both of these Vitamix models. Their conclusion was that the 5200 was their top choice because it incorporated less air into mixtures compared to the wider jar models. And the narrower jar worked better by producing a better vortex. Your comparisons were with a test that does not imitate how these blenders are typically used....for one thing, and it is important, you were blending a small amount of product which resulted in the bouncing of the liquid up and down. Better tests, like those done by American's Test Kitchen, are done with larger quantities in the jars that are more typically used, and they did a series of different tests...crushing ice, making smoothies and purees, making nut butters, etc. The only advantage they gave the shorter, wider jar models was that they could be stored under cabinets. Their second place choice was the Pro 750.

[@oOKazeKitsuneOo]

Calvin Burr I feel like you’re pretty biased towards this America’s test kitchen. Not only that, but you’re coming off kinda rude. This was just a demonstration and people can make their own conclusions about the outcome.

[@calvinburr1248]

@@oOKazeKitsuneOo What part of my comment came off "kinda rude"?? Nearly the entire comment was a description of this test and that of ATK. You claim people can make their own conclusion about this test's outcome....the first sentence was my simply stated conclusion. Why are you criticizing me for making and voicing my own conclusion together with an full explanation of how I reached that conclusion and why? As far as being biased...I'll gladly plead guilty to being biased towards tests and trials that are more thorough and that make an effort to duplicate typical uses and conditions. I believe America's Test Kitchen does a wonderful job in that regard compared to any others I've seen so far.

[@oOKazeKitsuneOo]

Calvin Burr the part that was kinda rude was the very first sentence where you disregard the effort put forth by these people to provide a perspective on these machines that I personally found very valuable. Then you shill ATK results like you’re suddenly an expert on the matter because you watched their 5 minute video. I watched that video myself and found it was full of holes and not nearly as comprehensive as other videos I’ve seen, including this one. This video may only be one test, but as someone who’s interested using a blender to make whole juices, it was nice to see the process from beginning to end, as well as the results. I don’t think it’s a wrong or bad thing to voice your opinions and explain your reasoning, but you came off like a rude, know-it-all, who was attempting to put down these people and tell everyone else what to think. But hey, that’s just my opinion too after all.

[@smoked1bluefish]

Interesting results. OK, new one wins,...a little. And as progress goes,...progress should make better things. Well,... otherwise it's not progress. I don't use WOT often. Could you please compare them for seed/nut butter manufacture? That is when I use WOT. Thank you so much for spending the money to buy both just because we can't leave it alone. We just have to compare and know.

[@greyhnd001]

It's the wider container. My 5200 has the wider container and has no problem with anything I throw at it

[@stevenlowe9446]

Well, considering one has more horse power than the other, would make only sense that the one with the higher hp will do a better job...

Wow!! thank u!!

[@meridelmoss1802]

I bought the 750 in November 2013, and have used it everyday since, usually to make green smoothies, but also for an occasional creamed soup. My only complaint (and it's a small one) is about the handle connection. It's a bit wobbly. My concern is that, in time, the handle will sheer away, and, in addition to a mess, I want to avoid an expensive replacement. I decided to admire the handle as a piece of art and hold the jar directly when pouring, or when washing and drying it. (I loath the dishwasher for anything except my restaurant porcelain dishes.) I'd be interested to know if anyone else has noticed the handle.

[@meridelmoss1802]

Correction: November 2014.

[@amandacottman3567]

+A Merry Dell: The container is covered in the warranty. Why not call them and tell them what is going on? I bet they will ease your worries and/or replace the container for you. I have seen others get replacements even after the warranty period at discounted prices. The best thing is to call Vitamix and tell them what you told us. Let us know what happens! I hope you and your loved ones are well! Sincerely, Amanda C. P.S. Check out Henry PJ's KZbin Channel. He addresses this issue in one of his videos.

[@meridelmoss1802]

+Amanda Cottman That's a good idea. I'll do it. Thank you. I'll also watch the video your mentioned. 😊

[@JJaani]

should have used the wider container for both

[@PopcornSimulationGaming]

I had my 5200 11 years and I've never had that junk left after blending anything on high

[@WedgeBob]

Seems the "You get what you pay for" effect comes into play here.
