The latest model in its popular line of high performance mixer designed for home use, sets the Vitamix 5200 Vita-Mix Corporation decades of tradition as "the" trade name in the degree of mixing. That was 5200 in the United States in 2007, brought as a new and improved version of the popular 5000 business - even Vitamix sold best in the world. Improved design features and improved engine is the latest model of its predecessor,however. What follows is a thorough look at Vitamix 5200 The information and opinions in hand, in the form of information gathered from the company, my involvement in both the 5000 and 5200 models and applications from any number of mergers in the thousands, and my experience in selling high-performance industry Mixer since 2009. Should be considered only as reference material for all those who purchase a specific high-performanceBlender.

Package and Specifications

Each model from the Vitamix 5000 and was installed on site at the company in Cleveland, Ohio, world headquarters. Although still fully assembled in America, including the 5200 a Swedish-designed and manufactured engine, which are examined below. Vitamix 5200-The entire package consists of a base engine in the customers choice of color, with a glass blade unit mounted and two-piece lids, sabotage, for the first timeInstructions, tips card, DVD-themed cooking class, warranty card, registration card and recipe book.

The engine 5200 is based on the square, 7 ½ "wide and 9" deep and weighs right at 11 pounds. With the cup and lid in place, is the unity of all this 20 8.1 ". A standard 120-volt, three-pronged power cord with grounded with a maximum length of 6 meters from the bottom of the base extends . Some or all of the cables are stored under the car - a feature particularly useful when travelingis with the device or operating at short distances from electrical outlets. The base rests on four round, rubber feet, ¾ "in diameter. The machine's interface on the front of the base and consists of a plate with two levers on either side of a line in the middle. The switches are durable, "soft touch" rubber for added ease of use (one of many improvements over the model 5000). One is a speed control and a power supply is turned off for the machine on and off. The "soft touch"Dial controls the speed-controlled operation of the machine.

The exterior of the wear-resistant plastic base in the customer's choice white, black, red, platinum or brushed stainless steel surfaces. Inside is a new Swedish designed and manufactured engine developed specifically for the 5200 The 11.5 amp, 1380 watt motor is a 2-peak power (2 HP) applied. Although not technically stronger than its predecessor, the new engine is more efficient engineeringImproving the ability to cool during the operation term results, both energy savings and improved engine performance. Blade tip speed of about 5200 was measured at 37 000 revolutions per minute (RPM). Considerable discussion and debate continues in blender, what role PS plays with these machines as well as guidelines for the calculation, and on my site I offer an explanation lay in an article on high-performance mixer. Vita-Mixalso has its own statement in engine power output.

Most of the improvements to 5200 his bowl and lid sealed. In the spring of 2007, Vita-Mix announced a partnership with Eastman Chemical Co. for the construction of new container for this model. The traditional (and already strong) from polycarbonate containers have called with an even stronger Eastman Tritan ™ copolyester has been replaced. The new glass is not only strong but also a lot more and chemicalresistant to heat, is quieter in operation, and does not contain bisphenol A (BPA), commonly found in polycarbonate.

Tapering to broad and rounded at its top is too tight and square on the floor, the glass keeps the contents easily in the amount of 2 liters +. E 'marked in ounces and cups up to 68 up to 8 ½ on one side and milliliters to 200 liters and up to 2 other. Marked by a trademark "Max" to 68 ounces (8 ½ cups), the glass actually holds 80 ounces (10 cups). An outlet onlyTop of the container, opposite the handle has been redesigned for more efficient irrigation and is advertised as "no-drop". The grip has been updated and now features an ergonomic design with an indented thumb rest on its rubber "soft-grip" for an effective control on the glass. From the bottom of the container fits 1 ½ "lip safe in every corner of the square design on four rubber posts that extend upward from the base engine. Combined with the knife assembly groove andappropriately equipped socket drive, the glass is very stable on the ground during operation. The power unit is made of hardened plastic and the 5200 is four-sided (and wide), stainless steel hammer mill-type spin "wet" blades in a single, counterclockwise. Each of the four extensions of the blade is about 1 ¼ "long. If necessary, the blade assembly is removable from the glass using a unique key (not included) from Vita-Mix.

The 5200 isnewly designed two-piece lid is made of a molded rubber cover edged with a lip at the opening of the container lying on another inside edge of the vessel itself protects formats. The redesigned cover has two tabs, "grab" a second lip on the outside of the glass, insurance coverage will remain in operation. These "easy off" the boards are solved with one finger when removing the lid. A hole 2 "by 2" at the center of the lid is taken for handling, whichThis hole in the delivery of 5200 is the second part of the lid - a removable plug copolyester with multiple functions. Can be completely removed from the main-lid with a simple twist, creating an opening for adding ingredients during operation. After inserting the plug acts as a relief vessel is, in order to escape pressure when making content like hot soups and syrups. Finally, and not vice versa, is the center of the cap is also a perfect mask for ingredients and liquidsin fact, is marked with 1 and 2 oz. On the one hand, and 30 ml and 60 other.

For the grinding of whole grains and legumes into flour, powder and sugar to make bread crumbs, Vita-Mix is ​​a "Dry Blade" container that has a different design and blade configuration. It is separated from the package sold 5200. The Vitamix Vitamix Super 5200 and 5200 are luxury packages that include these containers, however.

Its superior performance, despite the function that generatesPerhaps the greatest amount of discussion around the machine to manipulate her. This is a tool to use when mixing the ingredients of a larger or more dense in the path of the blade, and air pockets that develop during cavitation to relieve live conceived. Almost 13 "in length, is the tubular handle with plastic handle and a lip at its upper end which, when inserted into the container through the opening in the main cap, will prevent the bottom of the formSabotage by contact with the blades. When not in use, which can manipulate stored in the container. The total height of the machine including the tamper-resistant bowl and is 22 ¼ ".

This introduction is a 40-page manual contains an overview of the machine and its components, care and cleaning recommendations, tips for using the machine in different sizes and 20 individual recipes to use most of them. Let's start! a cooking class themed DVD shows the currentPrepare fruit juice, broth, ice cream, bread and pastries. The focus is on the order of ingredients in the pot, security is loaded when the sabotage and the operation of the machine knobs and levers attached. The lessons are also on the chopping and grinding of wet and dry ingredients added, and finally, how to clean the machine. The format provides the user with options to skip specific demonstrations or watch DVDs without interruption from the beginning.

The recipe is included with the 5200has a right, recipes food whole, and is designed as a loose-leaf binder with a higher coverage. If in his crease, the cover acts as a display easel and flip bar allows easy folding of individual recipes. Color-coded and labeled dividers to separate the book 250 recipes in categories such as drinks, soups, sauces and spreads, sauces, bread, breakfast, desserts, sauces and marinades and recipes for children. There are also several blank pages for entriespersonal recipes. Each recipe includes the power, performance, nutritional information, preparation and processing time, and numbered, step-by-step instructions.

A 14-page manual includes the car warranties, Registration Information, a division of machine parts, usage tips, and special care and cleaning. Completing the package is a fast card Vitamix 5200-Tips, registration card, warranty and bonus offers. As the recipesitself, a fist start guide and manual flip fast and openings may be required throughout the food recipes binder for safekeeping.

Operation

To operate the Vitamix 5200, a user must register with the functions of only two levers and a knob, all on the surface of the central panel of the base of the engine removed. The lever on the right side of the dial is only used to drive the car on and off. In the upper part (a) the position of the machine is running. Down (off)Position will not. On the left side of the dial is a lever, both started by two speed settings for the machine. If the device is turned on and the lever is in the upper position (above), is the highest speed (240 mph at the blade tips), run without interruption until the user turns the switch is in the down position, or used the levers of power to turn off the machine. In the lowest position (variable), allows the machine to perform this step the same for all speedsother than higher. The exact speed is then selected by a rotating wheel in the center of the surface. The panel interface is numbered along the line 10-10 of the scale, where 1 is the lowest rate.

Most of the mergers with the 5200 is with the use of both the lever and the dial. The high setting will cause most of the mix, but we recommend that users of "work" the way to this setting, rather than simply starting there.In general, the machine always starts in the frame with variable speed control knob 1. After the machine starts, the user must move the wheel to the variable setting, faster speeds, 10, shortly before, high frequency switching speed of the lever. From this point the only person treated for how long the machine is working. This is the preferred approach is needed to make the most of all fruit juices, smoothies, soups, syrups and ice, and with very little practice is a simpleProcess to master.

Load ingredients into the pot with the softer, liquid ingredients first, and the solid ingredients and / or frozen will last significantly improve results and reduce the mixing time. The 5200 design of the vessel and blades create a vortex to draw with liquid ingredients will be charged the highest in the glass in the path of the cutting blades. Each recipe in the book suggests the Whole Food Recipes "low liquid / solid-top" method of loading the container andLists of ingredients on the side in the order in which they should be loaded. It 'a simple concept that will be rooted easily by the user mixing routine, if the recipe book, with minimal practice.

The more closely the loading process is followed, the less often the use of manipulation that comes with the 5200 will be required. In my personal experience with the Vitamix, I have to handle in less than half the recipes I have used applied to him, andI have hundreds of 5200 owners who have spoken almost never using the complaint. That is, if the use of manipulation is necessary, it is essential to be used only with the lid on the glass and created only through the hole in the lid about to pull the plug. This will ensure that manipulation reaches the blade. It 'only a matter of time, not when the user needs to replace the handle (not to mention ruining her milkshake), if a practice, no coverage is availabledone.

Cavitation is a common occurrence in all the mixer - the Vitamix 5200 include - through which an air cushion around its blades during mixing. A combination of high speed belt and thick, fibrous components can be such an event can be extremely cold temperatures from deep-frozen food and ice. The biggest advantage of manipulation in its effectiveness against cavitation. Because of the constant air sacs relief, as required, while a process of mixing, handlingthe device continuously assisted in its performance class. In general, the user has the highest demand for manipulations with the use of large quantities of frozen ingredients found in milk shakes and ice, or make in carrying out wet grinding process, such as peanut butter from roasted peanuts.

Blending techniques also allow different but equally simple to use the 5200 for everything from food processor into a churn. For example, the machine starts with an empty glass over a childSpeeds and then fixed, fibrous ingredients such as carrots fall, nuts or cheese through the hole in the lid allows the user to cut into cubes results on the levels of certain coarseness without creating completely pulverized.

After most of the mergers, cleaning the tank 5200 is a simple procedure. Just fill the container half way (4 cups), adding a small amount of liquid detergent and running the car at highSetting for 30 seconds to 1 minute is all that is required. And 'possible to hand wash the glass as well, but must be paid on the blades, as they are relatively strong. It is recommended that the container can not be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Performance

The power and versatility of the Vitamix 5200 is nothing less than remarkable, and is clearly unique in several practical applications. As might be expected, are dense, fibrous vegetables and fruit is easy to implement perfectSmooth juices and smoothies. Similarly, if not more important than the texture created this drink, but the health benefits derived from added that makes them in this machine. The 5200 is one of the few elected blender on the market for home use, strong enough to be interpreted micronized raw fruits and vegetables during the mixing process. This leads to a maximum value of nutritional whole foods to be made easily accessible to the user in the form of juices and allSmoothies. In short, secondary plant compounds, cellulose fiber, skins, seeds and cores of fruits and vegetables that would otherwise remain trapped (not digested and used) in cell structure of the food industry, when just eaten or processed in a blender containing less powerful "unlocked" through the power of 5200 and blade design. This feature is of great importance for most buyers of high-performance mixer as the 5200

5200 is the power and design also makes it much more diverse thanany standard blender. Advanced mixing time at high belt speeds produce unusual environment, with a given set of ingredients that creates enough friction in the glass, even to boil the ingredients in soups, syrups, fondue, etc. The temperatures are determined solely by the length of the process of mixing. There is resistance in the machine. Raw, fresh vegetables and water at room temperature is warm soup in less than three minutes.

With ingredients and frozenmuch shorter mixing times, ice creams and sorbets can be created with the 5200 textures and temperatures for all types of recipes are simple, like a lot of friction allows the user to enter content specific ingredient. The recipe is a great source familiar with the order of these mixing times, as detailed, step-by-step guide is available to all device functions. The experience is perhaps the best teacher, however, and the intimate knowledge of the 5200"Secrets" to good results can be achieved with a little 'practice. The user will have his way with particular combinations of drugs during the mixing of prescription seen as evidence of completion. Be easily learned and engine sounds different pitches during mixing, which means that in the various stages of mixing.

Users will soon discover, there is very little in terms of content, the component is not capable of handling 5200 if the limits are tested,However, the automatic machine with overload protection, which engages when the engine is an internal temperature that may damage the merger has also achieved its components. The engine is simply switched off when they are tested beyond their capacity safe operating condition. In thousands of mergers with my Vitamix machine, once I have ever personally experienced this function to work. During the manufacture of peanut butter, stirring the mixture thickens prolongs myto the point where you have applied an excessive load for the engine and the car stops. Restore was giving as easy as unplugging the mixer, therefore, allow the engine to cool for about an hour. It is worth mentioning that I had to stop when the peanut butter mixture first reached a soft consistency, it would have been no problem, and I made peanut butter and almonds in my car Vitamix happened several times since then. I personally do not even have the container, blades, or damagedBlade available in the life of my machines. I bought several Stampfer, however. That is, manipulate, without existing coverage - Each time it has become necessary because of user error. As already mentioned, the proper use of the machine to eliminate the risk of this ever happened.

Performance Issues

Blender is not without its limits, though, and my only experience is with the overload protection Vitamix clearly. I talked to many ownersMachine, have reported similar experiences to stop the engine even under high load. I am of the opinion that this should not be a very negative phenomenon in itself. The machine's performance is undeniable and it is clear during use. If the engine is under pressure to stop that, instead of burning due, I think it's a minor inconvenience in connection with the purchase of a new machine - an ordeal that most of the owners have all of minor Blenderexperienced at one time or another. Although I have not personal experience with customer service guarantee in relation to the Vitamix use (the proof of the quality of the machine), I have more times of their service was useless information regarding the repair and replacement of engines to be made used to be normal. A little due diligence on-line warranty Vitamix 5200 shows its unique customer base of service experience, and based on my conversations realOwner of the car, I have no doubt that theirs is among the best in the industry.

Standard overall height of the upper kitchen cabinets are usually 17 "to 18" above the bearing surfaces. With just over 20 "tall, with the container for the engine block is too large to store in most cabinets 5200. This is an obvious disadvantage, given the layout of my kitchen. Camped in my car after each use.

The security seal is in progress in the larger components of inestimable valueCutting path of the blades and the elimination of air bubbles during mixing generated by cavitation. Users will quickly discover that it is not needed for most of 5200-features. If you must, but it is the only tool that will help in the proper installation of certain combinations of drugs. In other words, to run properly must be used for some formulations. Personally, except for those brief periods when I was without my manipulationsNegligence by the user (see above), I never considered the need to push to a negative. Customer feedback shows me, however, that the requirement for manipulation is a less desirable feature of the model for some.

Finally, users will have the 5200 that the machine is noisy when in use is to resign. Acoustics of various cuisines and ingredients of the glass content and scope, of course, have an impact on the noise level during a certain relevantMixing process, but in general the machine is louder than a sound quality much less. Given the superiority of the other mixers in 5200, should not be a complete surprise. It is worth noting that the best project results vase in 5200 than the previous model, significantly reducing the noise in my personal experience.

Summary

As mentioned earlier, the Vitamix has done in the high-performance mixer market for almost 80 years. Theirtheir machines with the same (or worse) as the engines found in 5200 bars, restaurants and culinary schools around the country. However, competition exists. There are other comparable mixer motor power, functionality and usability on the market today. All of them, but their benchmark as a standard Vitamix. In fact, during my stay in this business I have yet to meet 100 percent of dissatisfied customers of their products. However, I encountered several seconds andThird-generation owner of the Vitamix machine - were handed down from family member to another. Are built. The quality of these American-made brand is unsurpassed. And, as the model 5200 is not only the best in the Vitamix and crafts found in previous models, but also includes many newfound technological advances, there is no reason that many, many 5200S believe, are not in the cuisines of different generationsto come.
