Our Verdict

Vitamix 5200

KitchenAid K150

The Vitamix 5200 is a better full-size blender overall than the KitchenAid K150. It feels better built and performs better overall. Its main jar has a bigger capacity and comes with a tamper. On the other hand, the KitchenAid is a lighter and more compact blender.
