The 5300 measures 17.25 inches tall and weighs 12 pounds. The low profile container is shorter and therefore allows the blender to fit under a kitchen cabinet. The 64oz low profile container does struggle with small batches and recipes with less liquid as the wider base makes it hard to create a proper vortex. Thick recipes are slightly easier to clean out compared to the tall narrow container. The 64oz Low profile jar works well for blending larger amounts of thicker recipes, crushing ice and food prep where you don’t want to puree the ingredients. It is taller and therefore does not fit under a typical kitchen cabinet when sitting on a Vitamix blender. The tall 64oz classic container has a narrower base which allows it to blend any batch size and creates a good vortex for consistent blending. Tall Classic versus Low Profile Container : Whereas, the new low profile containers have longer 4 inch blades and a wider base than the traditional tall Vitamix containers and therefore require the slightly stronger motor. Understanding the low profile container: The traditional C-series Vitamix models have a 2 horsepower motor and are designed to work well with the narrow tall container. Therefore it lacks the new airflow design and noise dampening features found on G series blenders.
The stronger motor and low profile container are key features found in the newer G series product line.Īlthough the 5300 has the same power and blending container as the G series blenders, the 5300 is not built on the G series blender base. It is technically part of their C series product line and is built on the classic legacy C series base but offers a more powerful 2.2 horsepower motor and new low profile 64 ounce container. The Vitamix 5300 is commonly referred to as a hybrid model in that it is a mix between their classic C series and next generation G series product lines.
In this Vitamix 5300 review I will cover all the details you need to make the best decision including comparing it to other popular Vitamix blenders.
Other Vitamix models have been introduced since the 5300, so the big questions are if the 5300 is still a good Vitamix model to get in 2021 and is it the best model for you? The 5300 became known as the Costco Vitamix model since it was designed for Costco and used extensively in Vitamix demonstrations at Costco. When the Vitamix 5300 first came out it was a little confusing because it combines features from multiple product lines.
