The Vitamix 5300 is a full-size blender with a large, 64-ounce main jar, two-part lid, and tamper. It has simple controls, with no automatic blending programs, but it offers a wide range of speed settings. You can easily clean its components using hot water and soap, but unfortunately, you can’t wash them in your dishwasher.
The Vitamix 5300 is fantastic for multi-purpose use. It’s extremely well-built and has a big 64-ounce capacity. It offers a very versatile performance since it can hot blend, make snow-like crushed ice, and create a smooth blend with fibrous ingredients like kale. It’s also very well-suited for processing hard ingredients like nuts. Unfortunately, it’s not dishwasher-safe, but it’s easy to clean by hand. Pros Very well-built. Large capacity main jar. Hot blends. Smoothly blends fibrous ingredients. Cons Not dishwasher-safe. Loud.
