CONS

Vitamix 5201 XL Variable Speed Blender
Vitamix Immersion Blender
Yes

• For a juice blender, this appliance is kind of expensive and overpriced but with all the good features, it definitely is worth it. • Unfortunately this is not dishwasher safe; therefore cleaning it is a chore. It is wise though to clean it immediately after blending for then the increase easily comes off. • There is a bit of a learning curve needed when using this blender but it becomes fun after you get the hang of it. • A few people complain about the noise and loudness. • Not the most affordable blender. • Pitcher is difficult to pour for some customers. • Harder to clean because blades aren’t supposed to be removed. • No pre-set programs like the Vitamix 750 Professional Series or other models. • No pulse mode, but can still do pulsing jobs. • Plastic top can be annoying. • Fairly bulky and large (you can buy low profile container).

Yes

• There aren't any attachments. Hopefully, there will be some available in the future. • You can unintentionally touch a button and change a setting when you don’t want to. • It doesn’t make the silkiest smoothie. It also is not great if you want really velvety soups. • For an immersion blender, it’s quite expensive • Not dishwasher safe • Can struggle with fibrous ingredients like kale. • Can't crush ice. • Motor body can get very hot.
