Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender

Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender, 64 oz Container

Aircraft-grade hardened steel blades spin fast enough to create friction heat, turning cold vegetables into steaming hot soup in 6 minutes.

Real Kitchen Testing & Daily Experience

There is a reason professional commercial kitchens swear by the Vitamix 5200. It doesn’t have fancy digital screens or preset programs. Just a speed dial and a High toggle. The tall, narrow pitcher creates a violent hydraulic vortex that pulls whole apples, raw ginger, and chia seeds down through laser-cut steel blades spinning at 22,000 RPM. The friction alone heats cold broth and raw squash into piping-hot vegetable soup in 6 minutes. It is an heirloom tool.
