Suitable Vitamix - 5200 ?

I am pretty sure it will work with the 5200, but go to the Vitamix website, www.vitamix.com You can find definite answer there. This is a nice size container; I use this one much more than the large one. Good Luck.

it will work with any vitamix. just keep in mind, as with the wet container for the vitamix, some recipes will have to be adjusted because of the size of the container.

I have an OLD Juiceman II which still works great. Last year invested in a Vitamix. The best solution I've found is putting the Apples, celery, greens, lemon juice (helps keep things fresh!) in the Vitamix and blend it then poor it through the juicer after the root vegetables are done. It gives out a decent (not great, still leaves it wet) amount of juice that way. The spinners don't work well with the leafy greens. My next purchase will be an Amish juice press to press out the rest.

It came with Professional Series Model VM0103. I will ask Vitamix corp if compatible with 5200s.

I LOVE mine. I just got it from Costco (5200) on Sat. Got it to make green smoothies, cooking prep, etc. My smoothies initially came out a bit thick for my taste but found that I didn't run the blender long enough AND did not add enough water. The result? Today's green smoothie was delicious, creamy and not too thick- it was just right! I was really tending towards the Blendtec and was on the verge of purchasing one but after reading wonderful reviews on here and online with the SEVEN year warranty sealed the deal for me. I read more about poor customer service with Blendtec compared to Vitamix (hardly read any and believe me I read ALOT of reviews! lol) I don't have a stake in Vitamix- I just love the blender because it's American -made (keeps jobs here), excellent quality and the company stands by its products. I look at it as an investment in my and my family's health. HTH!

I have used mine for making rawfood mornig shakes that include frozen fruit and seeds -- sometimes kale. It works very well. The Vitamix I have is the only one I've tried, but it is a great product, and I assume the less expensive ones would work as well. When you look at less expensive models, read the product description carefully. I would think they should describe the capabilities of the machine.

I did not try- you could take the part # and run a compatibility inquiry - call Vitamix for example.

No, this one is too long for the low profile 64 oz. container. Call Vitamix Customer Service. You can get a replacement tamper through them.

I have not used a Vitamix but I've read the literature on it and believe the Oster Versa and the Vitamix 1782 (for example) are in the same category- commercial grade blenders. I suggest you read the reviews for the Vitamix.

I don't know...we have not used a Vitamix. All we can say is that we are not disappointed by this appliance. From what most reviews say, the two manufacturers make blenders of similar quality and performance.That being said, I'm pretty sure this model is considerably smaller (shorter) than a typical Vitamix, and taking up less space on the counter is a plus. Also, this model is much lighter than I expected....our KitchenAid food processor, while much less powerful (fewer watts) is much heavier. I think this is also a plus -- it shows that you can have power without the added weight. I don't know how much a comparable Vitamix weighs.... I don't know...we have not used a Vitamix.

I too own a Coolpix 520 and had lots of problems like you are - its a 58mm. Bought a uv filter and went through several before found the right size.

I bought a Vitamix many years ago (about 15?). I only lasted about 5 years, then fell apart. Honestly, I prefer the concept of getting the whole fruit/vegetable, but I would never buy another Vitamix again.

Sure. The Vitamix costs probably five times as much. This is much more cost effective if all you want a machine for is the frappes.

The 800BLXL is in no way comparable to any VitaMix because this Breville only has two pre-set speeds. That's the major drawback to this model. The Breville BBL605XL Hemisphere Control Blender, on the other hand, has five speeds, so that model stands a chance of doing some of the things that a VM can do. The 605 is also the model that Cooks Illustrated chose as a best buy a while back.

The difference between the 6300 and 5200 is the addition of more blend settings. Anything you make in one can be made in the other. Vitamix has a special container for dry blending.

Hi John, It's available in Australia. I know because I live in NZ and am searching for the blender myself. Here are a couple of links to help: http://www.yourhomedepot.com.au/products/vitamix/blender-tnc5200-black-18-5-x-22-5-x-52cm-wdh/electric-blenders, and http://au.pricedumper.com/vitamix?campid=5337194773&ggkey=vitamix. But check this out, too! http://www.froothie.com.au/store/optimum-9900 Happy shopping! Regards, Cori in Christchurch

I think so but have had my vitamix 5000 for a few weeks and have not taken it apart yet. I would call vitamix, they are very helpful.

The voltage isn't the point. This is a terrible blender. We used one at my mother-in-law's house and it finally broke after very little use. It is junk in comparison with the Vitamix. I would definitely go with the Vitamin instead. You might also try a new company called Cleanblend...supposed to be similar to Vitamix.
