The Vita Mix 5200 blender is a 2 hp blender. It
is perhaps the most advertised Vita Mix blender on the high performance
blender market. The Vita Mix Corporation sells it, demonstrators travel
the Costco stores, and affiliate marketers are lined up to advertise
them on the Internet. And while everybody visiting Costco, thinks "this
is the birthday gift for my wife, etc..." really, big deal, it is only
a 2 hp blender. ... and the commercial V ita Mix Vita Prep 3 hp blender( Vita Mix 1005) costs the same as the Vita Mix 5200 model when you buy it at Vita Mix Corporation.

The 2 hp Vita Mix
blender costs at Costco $ 395 plus local applicable sales tax and at
Vita Mix Corp or your favorite affiliate marketer it costs $ 449 plus
your local sales tax. The coupon code offered for free shipping valued
at $ 25.00 is of course a lure or a gimmick to get you to bite. It also
ties the affiliate marketers to the sale so they can get a commission
at about 15%. Vita Mix Corporation offers however free shipping anyway.
If you want to buy this blender, call your local Costco, to find out
when the next demonstration is going to take place. The advantage is
that you can try it out and see if the 2 hp Vita Mix power is
sufficient for you. (Call 801-623-3225)
We want to tell you of course, also out of a biased reason, you can buy for just about the same investment the Vita Mix Vita Prep 1005 / 3 hp blender,
a commercial blender made for the nursing home industry. Compare for
your self and find out which blender is best for you. For example, you
might want to consider also the Blendtec 3 hp HP3A blender (right image below) -  FREE SOUND ENCLOSURE WITH PURCHASE OF Blender. You get the most power for the money when you buy this incredibly sophisticated power tool.
The Vita Mix 5200 blender
(aka Total Nutrition Center) comes with a Eastman Tritan container
which is equipped with a soft-grip handle. No big deal, in our opinion.
The BPA topic is rather questionable in its credibility. Bi-Phenol is
used in the production of Polycarbonate containers as such to get the
production started. Whether Bi-Phenol (BPA)
is really a poison is uncertain. Of course the company that
manufacturers Bi-Phenol says it is totally safe (LOL), according to the
EPA. Not biased at all, right? Of course it is. But the BPA-Free
campaigns by Blendtec and Vita Mix could merely be out of marketing
reasons also.
So, just to be on the safe side, Vita Mix Corporation and also Blendtec Corporation now have containers completely BPA free.
But both companies still are selling commercial containers marked and
certified for commercial kitchen and restaurant use with the famous
'NSF' sticker, which identifies equipment for restaurant compliant
usage. Just to shake things up a little, why do you think the BPA-Free
containers are supposed to protect consumers from some kind of a poison
that leeches into your food during the blending of your smoothies or
soups while both organizations still have their regular blender
containers in circulation and in production?
OK, back to the Vita Mix 5200 blender; The popular Vita Mix 5200 blender has a customized Swedish 2+ Peak hp motor
with a cooling fan that has a lower drag on the motor than the
apparently the Vita Mix 5000 model, which was replaced by the Vita Mix
5200 in January 2008.
Variable speed knob,
in the center, and the left-sided override switch to FAST PULSE are the
main features. The Vita Mix blender concept is easy to operate. Not
even a  blender
operations guide for dummies exists for this 2 hp blender. Other Vita
Mix models, such as the Vita Mix 3 hp Vita Prep 1005 / 3 and the 2 hp
Vita Prep 2 are completely the same in its simple operation. The Vita
Mix 3 hp blender however for the same money, and that being a
commercial blender, is much more powerful than the Vita Mix 5200
blender. We have often wondered, and also inquired at Vita Mix
headquarters why they didn't make the Vita Mix 5200 with the 3 hp
motor? Well, its probably a money and profit thing. As you know, you
get a 7 years warranty with the Vita Mix 5200 blender purchase
(upgradable to a 10 years warranty for like $ 75.00), but the Vita Mix
3 hp commercial Vita Prep 1005 has a 3 years warranty.
Of course, we could argue about the integrity and the real reason of extended warranty.
One is that you might expect value out of it. To the other hand, it is
probably unlikely, the Vita Prep 2 hp blender having exactly the same
powerful but commercial motor version of the Vita Mix 5200, nothing
will ever happen after a 3 year time frame. You may have just spent an
extra $ 100.00 for the 7 years versus the 3 years warranty. But, it is
certainly true, extended warranty does give a piece of mind.
 The Vita Mix 4500 Turbo Blender (FREE SOUND ENCLOSURE) has also a 2 hp motor. The only difference is that it does not have the middle / center variable speed turning  knob. The turning knob for variable speed, which the Vita Mix 5200 blender, the Vita Mix Vita Prep 2 and Vita Prep 3 come
with, is usually handy and fancy to chop nuts and other ingredients
into larger pieces. You can control the speed of the sharp knives on
the blade. Faster speed in these 2 hp and 3 hp Vita Mix blenders with
variable speed yields in smaller fragments and slower speed yields in
larger fragments, respectively. The 4500 Turbo blender, can chop with
its slow speed switch position. The slow speed is a great way to begin
your ice blending and get larger ingredients chopped smaller. Then
commence with fast speed while holding on to the lid. The Vita Mix 4500
Turbo Blender can blend hot soups and ice cold fresh smoothies, just
like the Vita Mix Vita Prep 2 (right) and the Vita Mix 5200 blender. And of course, neither of the 2 hp Vita Mix blenders is an equal in their power to the Vita Mix Vita Prep 1005 / 3 hp blender. The Vita Mix 4500 Turbo Blender (left) is advertised at MAP for $ 399.95, (for $ 399.95 you get a free sound enclosure with it).
