Necessity or Luxury? By Pat Srinivas
Necessity or Luxury: Depends on if you have experienced it (& if you plan on using it regularly)
As a guy who takes his smoothies and soups very seriously, it is a necessity for me. While some might argue about the price (Covers the purchase of an average blender every year into perpetuity if purchase price is invested in an annuity), I find comparisons to other blenders moot as the results from the Vitamix is not reproducible by an average blender (no strawberry/blackberry seeds in your smoothie, no bell pepper seeds in your soup). And, cleaning takes seconds!
The Motor of the Vitamix 5200 is the same as the CIA Commercial blender and costs a little less. The CIA edition comes with an exhaustive recipe book and a CD. Did I mention the blend sound reminds me of a revving Ferrari? (All the more reason to go RED!)

Good for smoothies not to grind coconut chutney By Kureli
I read many reviews and looked at the all 5 ratings in Amazon before I decided to order this Vita mix. It arrived on time for our party. I decided to use for the very first time it to grind coconut chutney. Within 3 min. it had a thermal shutdown for 45 min as mentioned in the manual. I was heart broken and fell back to my Sumeet blender (costs about $100) from India. It did the job without a hick up as usual. I thought of returning it for money back. It is still within 30 days. I think I have changed my mind and decided to just keep it along with my Sumeet blender. This sure makes amazing smoothies and margaritas in record time.
With the blade spinning at 240 miles an hour, I didn't doubt that it would struggle to grind coconut but it did.
