I have the 5200 model which I bought in 2014 - powerful, works great!
The 5200 model comes with the classic 64 oz tall container. I also bought a 48 oz low profile container. It is the C-Series base.
The 7500 model is a G-Series base and comes with a 64 oz low profile container.
The motor on the 7500 is 2.2 HP - 5200 is 2.0 HP.
The blade on the 7500 is 4” - 5200 is 3”. The tips of the blade on the 7500 turn a lot faster which gives you a quicker and thinner blend.
The shorter low-profile container fits under most cabinets which many people prefer.
The 7500 has a pulse option, 5200 does not.
Check out the Vitamix website - there are many new models and you can do a comparison on-line. Vitamix has come out with a number of accessories and some will only work on a specific base.
Note: Brian Hill, OCF founder, provided the comparison of these models in a OCF post a few years ago.
