The new Vitamix 5200 costs quite a bit more than the 5000 model. How can I convince myself that it’s worth the extra money?
Easily. First, you have a new, extremely durable container with a no-drip spout, an all-new lid with easy-off “flaps”, a new twist-off lid plug with measurements and a stylish comfort-grip handle that matches the new lid. Next, you have what we determine to be the best small appliance motor on the market—one that will run cooler and more efficiently when handle a wide range or processes. Add to that the upgraded, soft-touch switches and dial, and you already have a real difference. The new bonus gifts are the real icing on the cake. The DVD cooking class is fun, informative and so user-friendly. You can use the convenient view buttons to watch any process you really want to work on over and over again. The all-new “Getting Started” guide has gorgeous full-color photography and is coordinated perfectly with the recipes in the cooking class. The “Whole Food Recipes” cookbook is improved and updated, too. This package is priceless!
