I've made purees, jams, it's especially useful for finely chopping things that would otherwise take a small eternity to chop (nuts, herbs, etc). Fine for pulse-chopping pecans and the like, but I am dreading what will happen if I try to whip cream."
"I am a little disappointed in this product, it feels like the blades of the cup part (processor) should be tilted diagonally to mix in the upper stuff (whatever you want to process). Used the whisk works well in the cup that comes with it, just don't let it touch the bottom of the cup, it might stop the motor from running."
"The handheld part controls the whisk, mini chopper, and hand blender and the attachments just snap on to the handle with a push button release. There is also a “turbo” button that gives it an extra burst of power as needed without having to turn the dial. The set includes a large tumbler to use the hand mixer with and the food chopper base."
"When you first plug it in a blue ring around the speed dial quickly lets you know the unit has power and is ready to go. You press 2 buttons on either side of the motor unit to release the current attachment and the new snaps into place. We tried making meringue out of egg whites, the whisk attachment handled that beautifully and very quickly."
"Latest: the plastic teeth broke between the hand held motor and the chopper/immersion blender broke."

Anywho, I used the immersion blender to puree up some sauteed mushrooms and onions (chopper would have been better), and it did just fine. Then, when I had a bunch of chopping to do for stuffed acorn squash, I found the chopper was more than sufficient for the job. I threw in the dry spices with the garlic, short pulse or two, and everything got mixed and ready for addition to the pan."
"Then my son and wife joined in and needless to say, our fruit intake has gone up and the family I loves this product."
"After a time I decided to invest in a better blender and spent plenty of time researching to find the perfect one. This blender is so heavy duty and has so many different speed options to find just the right setting for what you are doing."
"(She asked for a hand blender, but didn't expect to receive one this handsome or high quality...she's very impressed with it."
"I like the adjustable speed dial on the hand blender and that the dial lights up to know power is on."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The plastic mixing container is nicely designed with a handle for securing the container while blending, and the top when inverted and placed underneath acts as a skid proof cushion to keep the container from sliding around on the countertop while blending. The container and top can also be used to store soups or other liquids in the refrigerator. The only potential negative is someone with very small hands may find the grip too large, however, I find the cushioned grip and trigger switch to be ergonomically pleasing."
"This blender has a lot of great features."
"This issues even though very annoying, some how resolved itself with a few attempts and I still had a working blender until about 3 months ago when it stopped working all together."
"You should have seen her eyebrows when I told her we were getting the model she had never heard of, the one that cost twice what the next most expensive model we were looking at did. Bells and whistles are nice, frills are pretty, and something that looks a lot more expensive than it is can start a few conversations, but if I'm shelling out this kind of money on a kitchen appliance, I expect it to do the job assigned in a way that makes my (or, more often, her) day easier or more efficient."
"The Blender itself is exceptionally well constructed and functions great."

Find Best Price at Amazon"We bought this for when I went back to work after having a baby so that I could prepare smoothies quickly in the mornings."
"I get up in the morning and making my breakfast protein shake is so quick and easy. I would never dream of using my blender to make my morning shake."
"Another thing I noticed is the vibration actually starts to loosen the cap when it's on the machine."
"ALSO also, if you're using regular size onions and tomatoes, this product actually sux, because it's not really built to handle the larger fruits and veggies, as the 'single serving' size canisters are narrow and the products can get stuck(hence the shaking technique). What this product does best, is, making single serving smoothies."
"The plastic parts under the blade (where it meets the motor) came apart and started smoking."
"I also realize this is a smaller blender so I make sure to chop things up a little smaller than I so for my full size blender at home."
"The solid leaks with liquids, and the perforated lid has 2 sides, which would presumably let you dispense 2 different amounts of seasoning, but what ends up actually happening is dispense throught the large and small holes simultaneously."

Find Best Price at Amazon"FOR PEOPLE BAD AT PLANNING: • If you're on your way home from work and realize you don't have any food at home, you can pick up any combination of greens and fruits at the grocery store on the way home that you can slam in the blender. • If you get home and you find you have a weird collection of fruit and veg that would never make a proper balanced salad, fear not! Disclaimer: Kale still tastes like kale (gross), so maybe just don't try that) and wheatgrass should be clipped in half/thirds so it doesn't wrap around the blades like hair around a vacuum cleaner's brush."
"After doing a lot of research we decided to go with the refurbished one as a lot of reviews are saying this is the best deal with the Vitamix. We saved over $100 going with the refurbished one."
"The container is significantly shorter (but holds the same amount). It now slides under my counter tops with the container on the base. With the 5200 you had to use the on/off switch as some sort of makeshift pulse if you wanted to dice veggies. I've been using Vitamix machines for years, so you'll be happy with whatever model you get."
"I decided to try out the 5300, and there were a number of things I'd like to comment on after reading other reviews here. And they are easier to reach for any cleaning beyond the usual Vitamix's after-blend soapy water cleanse. In a world of instant everything, pushing one more button -- with a pretty blue light, i might add -- hardly seems a point to quibble when the machine itself is a thing of functional beauty. It performs just as the 5200; I do not see a difference, and I'm making smoothies, nut butters, soups, chopping veggies, etc. Vitamix -- again, no matter what model -- remains a U.S. built machine by workers in Ohio. The fact that it is made by U.S. workers AND is the best blender in the world makes us a Vitamix family for life."

The splash guards are keyed and must. be twisted/rotated into place to seal and mate properly with the jar. The multi-level blade assemblies contribute greatly to its chopping efficiency, so much so that one has to be careful not to overdo it."
"I think they could do with an improvement here and I'd be willing to pay extra for that, hence 4 stars instead of 5 which this product would otherwise have richly deserved. This review was written solely to share my experience with this product for the benefit of the Amazon community. As such, just as I disclose having received a review sample when that is the case, I thought it prudent to state that this is not one of those cases."
"There was very little plastic to protect the item and the shipper did not box the item in a separate box to protect it."
"I got rid of my blender. But now 4 months later, I noticed the medium blender bowl has a crack in the bottom of the bowl straight through where the pin is."
"This will be my first and last Ninja product."
"I've had this just under a year."
