Our Verdict

Vitamix 5200

KitchenAid Diamond

The Vitamix 5200 is a better full-size blender than the KitchenAid Diamond. The Vitamix has a significantly better build quality and makes better nut butter, smoother blends with fibrous ingredients, and crushed ice with better consistency. It's also easier to clean.
