Comparing Vitamix 5300 versus Vitamix 5200 Blender, What's the Difference?

Both the Vitamix 5300 and Vitamix 5200 offer high-performance blending to make your own smoothies, purees, hot soups, frozen desserts and more!

The Vitamix 5300 is the up-graded model of the Vitamix 5200 Blender, offering a slightly more powerful yet quieter motor and a lower profile to fit more easily under most kitchen cabinets.

The Vitamix 5300 utilizes a 2.2 peak horsepower motor compared to the Vitamix 5200’s 2.0 motor.  Both blenders offer variable speed control with a simple to use dial that can be rotated at any point during the blend to put you in complete control.  The Vitamix 5300 has the addition of a Pulse Feature which the 5200 does not have.  The Vitamix 5200 has a switch for High Speed, which the 5300 does not have.

Both the Vitamix 5300 and 5200 come with a 64 oz capacity container for medium to large batches, but the design of the container is different for each blender.  The Vitamix 5300 features a low-profile container that is shorter and wider, while the Vitamix 5200 features a classic taller and slimmer container.  Each container is made from BPA-free Eastman Tritan Copolyester.

Both the Vitamix 5300 and 5200’s container comes with a spill-proof lid with a removable plug so you can add ingredients as you blend.

The different design of the containers affects the size of the stainless steel blades, with the Vitamix 5300 having 4” blades while the Vitamix 5200 has 3” blades.  Some people have reported that the design of the Vitamix 5200 performs better for blending very thick smoothies using lots of frozen fruits.  Both blenders come with a tamper – a low profile one with the 5300 and a classic one with the 5200.

Given the difference in the design of the Vitamix containers, it follows that there is a difference in overall height of these 2 blenders, with the Vitamix 5300 measuring around 17.25” tall and the Vitamix 5200 measuring around 20.5” tall.  Both blenders measure around 8.75” x 7.25” at the base.

Both the Vitamix 5300 and 5200 utilize a radial cooling fan and thermal protection system for long-lasting reliability, and come with a Manufacturer’s Warranty of 7 Years.

Both the Vitamix 7500 and Vitamix 750 offer 10 variable speeds and pulse function for consistent blending.  Both blenders come with a low-profile container that is designed to fit under most kitchen cabinets yet has a large enough capacity (64 oz) to make blends for the whole family.  The container is made from BPA-free Eastman Tritan Copolyester and comes with a spill-proof lid which has a removable plug enabling you to add ingredients as you blend.

The Vitamix 750 is the up-graded model of the 7500 and offers the addition of 5 Auto Pre-Programmed Settings which the 7500 does not have.  The Vitamix 750’s Auto Settings are for:  Purees, Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, Hot Soups, and Self-Clean.

Apart from the addition of the Auto Settings on the Vitamix 750, the Vitamix 750 and 7500 are essentially the same machine, so if you’re confident about making your own blends without the Auto Settings, then opt for the lower-priced Vitamix 7500 and save yourself some hard earned dollars!

Both the Vitamix 7500 and 750 utilize a radial cooling fan and thermal protection system for long-lasting durability.  In fact, so confident are the manufacturers with the quality of their blenders that they offer a 7-Year Warranty for peace-of-mind.

Make light work of blending your own healthy smoothies, purees, frozen desserts, hot soups and more with the Vitamix Pro 500 and Vitamix Pro 300 Blenders.

The Vitamix Pro 300 has a slightly more powerful motor than the Pro 500, at 2.2 peak horsepower compared to 2.0 peak horsepower.  Both blenders offer variable speed control with a simple to use turn-dial as well as having a dedicated pulse function switch.

Given the different design of the containers, it also follows that the overall height of these 2 blenders differs, with the Vitamix Pro 500 measuring around 20.5” high and the Vitamix Pro 300 measuring around 17.5” high.

Both the Vitamix Pro 500 and Pro 300 incorporate a radial cooling fan and thermal protection system for long-lasting durability.  Vitamix confidence in their blenders is reflected in the 7 Year Manufacturer’s Warranty offered on both these machines.

Top Tips on How to Make Your Own Healthy Smoothies


Smoothie drinks are typically thick liquids made from fresh fruits that are blended together with either fruit juice, milk or yogurt.  Creamier recipes typically contain yogurt but you can adapt any recipe to suit your own taste, replacing yogurt with milk or soy milk for a thinner consistency.

Smoothie drinks are a great way of getting your daily recommended allowance of essential nutrients.


What is the difference between a juice drink and a smoothie drink?

A juice drink is typically made by extracting the juice from the fruit using a juice extractor or citrus press, thus separating out the pulp/fibre for a juice only drink.
A smoothie drink is typically made using the whole fruit and blending it with other ingredients like milk or yogurt.  Because the whole of the fruit is used, you get the benefit of the fibre included.

A juice only drink can be digested by the body quite quickly, thus it is a quick way of absorbing nutrients.  A smoothie drink will take longer to digest and can leave you feeling fuller for longer.  A smoothie drink could even be considered as a breakfast replacement for example.

Because smoothie drinks include the fibre of the fruits used, they are a good way to help keep food moving through the gut, helping to avoid constipation and aiding healthy gut bacteria.  Besides the nutrients from the fruit, you also get the added benefit of protein if you use milk or yogurt in your smoothie drink.


What equipment do I need to make a smoothie?

Making your own fresh healthy smoothies has never been easier – just a little preparation with your ingredients is required before throwing it all together into a blender and let the blender do the work for you!

There are many different types of blenders to choose from, with more being manufactured nowadays specifically for the purpose of producing juice or smoothie drinks.

What you really need to look at when purchasing a blender is how powerful the blender is, particularly if you’re looking to use hard fruits in your smoothies.  The more powerful the blender is, the better it will deal with harder fruits to produce a smoother consistency.
