Best value — strong crushing power, big 72-oz pitcher, and preset programs for a fraction of premium prices.
The Vitamix 5200 is the blender serious cooks keep for years. A powerful motor and aircraft-grade blades pulverize fibrous greens, frozen fruit, and even hot soup from friction. Loud and pricey, but the silky results and durability mean most people never replace it.
