Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender

I picked this one for anyone who wants a powerful, no-frills blender that handles smoothies, soups, and frozen drinks with ease. I like that the large 64-ounce container and variable speed control make it simple to get smooth results, whether you are blending for one person or a whole family. It earned a spot here because it is a proven, professional-grade workhorse for everyday kitchen use.
