Well since Vitamix had such bad reviews for their personal blender cup set that was usable with the regular size blender I was so excited to see they just came out with this. Well I just opened this and used it for the first time and I have to say I wasn't blown away. With designers who are at the top in their field a much better design could have been accomplished. The cord is huge ugly and black so when you buy a white one you still have all that black sitting on your white quartz counters. There should have been some kind of cord storage built in and a white cord should have been used. Second around the top of the blender and the knob there are ridges going all the way around. It is going to be a royal pain to keep that clean. Third the way this closes with the gasket is confusing. More details about this should go into the instruction booklet with better photos. Also after every use you are going to have to remove the gasket to rinse it off and the gasket has 4 ridges that are going to be really painful to keep clean. They should include 'at least' 10 extra gaskets because with washing and having to tighten it so tight to get the line lined up with the lock they are going to wear it out very soon. I cannot comment yet on how well it blends because I just made a very small portion of banana with milk so it is not a true test. I just was so disappointed with these design flaws I never used it again and returned it so I cannot comment on how well it works. I hope when they come out with an updated version they fix these flaws and then I would buy it. I took some photos next to my 5200 that does come with cord storage.

Great product. Had a Ninja, and a ZWILLING, both had leaked around blade bearing. Vitamix seems to be well thought of (cup and blade cover have to be aligned to sit on the base), and more sturdy where it matters (blade has metal coupling connection to base instead of plastic). Great construction of cup (Tristan) which would be safest food grade plastic. The sensing mechanism to adjust motor speed based on content is great…. Time will tell if it’s durable especially blade bearing, but it’s also backed by 3 years warranty.

I really wanted to love this new product from Vitamix. We’ve had several personal blenders over the years and was in need of a new one. Sadly, the nano has not been great. Every morning, my husband and I make a smoothie before leaving the house. It is not easy to seal the lid on the cup and I have not been able to get my frozen banana or spinach to blend on the first time. We also use Daily Harvest frozen smoothies and they don’t blend the first time either. I’ve followed the recommendations of what order to add the ingredients and that doesn’t change the outcome. Not the product we were hoping for.

I have a full size Vitamix and I wanted something a little bit smaller and easier for me I bought the nano and was amazed at how perfect the blend was it's just like a big Vitamix, the only difficulty I did have was lining up the arrows before putting it on the mixer my motor skills are not that good at times. The blend came out perfect no lumps perfectly smooth no worries I personally would definitely buy another if I needed.

Great blend, great quality. Handled greens, seeds and dates just really well! Love using this when I have time to make different/favorite smoothies for two people instead of always making one large batch. I messed up my first blend becuase I didn't read the directions, but when I followed the directioned (e.g. liquids on top) it was awesome.
