With the overwhelming popularity of this powerful blender, it’s not surprising that there are so many positive Vitamix reviews being shared each and every day. The Vitamix 5200 has literally revolutionized the way people think of blenders, and over the years it has become a staple appliance in many people’s kitchens.

Vitamix Review – Is a Vitamix Worth It?

Let’s face it. A Vitamix blender isn’t exactly what most would consider to be an inexpensive appliance, so are they really worth the investment?

There are two types of people in this world, those who will always buy the cheapest products on the market (even if quality is subpar), and those who true believers in the concept of "buy once, cry once". Personally, we happen to fall into that camp.

While there are obviously blender options that are much less expensive than a Vitamix, they don’t typically have a long life-span — and before long, you’ll wind up having to replace that cheap blender model that you ended up compromising on. On the other hand, Vitamix blenders are backed by a 7-year warranty which will fix or replace any manufacturer problems for up to 7 years from the original date of purchase.

Add to that the fact that there’s simply no comparison between normal blenders and a Vitamix when it comes to blending capability and owner satisfaction, and we’ll shell out a little extra for a Vitamix any day of the week.
