Confused by all these models?
Many people are a bit overwhelmed by the selection that VitaMix offers, so we thought that this recent buyer's email might help:
Question:
I'm looking for advice on which VitaMix model to buy. It's for home use but want to be able to make smoothies (with ice), frozen fruit, margaritas, etc that are consistent, blend smoothly and the machine will hold up over time with regular use. Most blenders I have tried have broken or leave chunks of ice and take forever to blend.
I have been looking at the BarBoss, BarBoss Advance, TurboBlend and commercial grade drink machine. Can you provide some advice and pros/cons on what would be appropriate?
Answer:
First, a word on containers, because that is pretty much the only major difference between the models you've mentioned. The BarBoss uses the standard VitaMix container, which is also used on the VitaPrep series and most other models. It holds 64oz and if you go with it, your best bet would be to get the one with the ice blade (VitaMix offers ice, wet and dry blades).
The BarBoss Advance comes with an XP container. It's smaller at 32oz but also wider and has a monster of a blade for crushing ice. It also has no tamper because it doesn't need it and because the machine is made for busy bar settings. That's also why it's electronically programmed, so a bartender can just hit one button and walk away, leaving it to do its thing.
Finally, the TurboBlend has been upgraded. It used to come with the same carafe as the VitaPrep but it now has a new BPA-free container and an improved lid. The blades are the same - it comes with an wet blade by default.
All of the models you mentioned have 2+ peak horsepower and you don't really need the timer feature at home, so I guess your deciding factor is the container. In our opinion, the new TurboBlend is probably your best choice. The cost is a bit less than the BarBoss Advance and it has a longer warranty (5 years for the 2-Speed and 7 years for the Variable Speed "VS" model, versus 3 years for the other models mentioned, which are all commercial units).
Question:
Is the Vitamix 5200 a newer or more powerful model than the Vitamix TurboBlend?
Answer:
The 5200 is not a newer or more powerful than the Vitamix TurboBlend. Both models have the same motor and use the same container. The TurboBlend 1782 is a 2-speed (high and low) machine. The Vitamix 5200 is a (high and variable) speed machine, identical to the TurboBlend VS. The variable speed dial on the Vitamix 5200 and the TurboBlend VS enables the user to adjust to a slower blending speed than the TurboBlend 1782. All three machines have a 2+ peak hp motor. The two TurboBlend models are sold through retail dealers and the Vitamix 5200 is sold directly through Vitamix.
