Is this the same as the Vitamix 5200?

No. The Drink Machine Advance is a commercial model with a shorter 48 oz container and a dial-and-switch control panel. The 5200 is a home blender with a tall 64 oz jar and a variable-speed dial.

Can it crush ice and frozen fruit?

Yes. It is designed for frozen drinks, and owners report it handles ice and frozen fruit without stalling.

Is the container dishwasher-safe?

The container and lid can go on the top rack, but the motor base must be wiped clean by hand.

Does it have preset programs?

No. Speed is set with a variable dial and a high/low switch, so you control the blend manually.

Cafes, juice bars and smoothie shops that need back-to-back frozen drinks. Home users who blend daily can use it too, but it is loud and heavy.

About the Vita-Mix 5085 Drink Machine Advance Blender, 48 oz

The Vitamix Drink Machine Advance is a commercial blender built for smoothies and frozen drinks, with a 48 oz container and variable speed control. Its 2.2-peak-HP motor and hardened stainless blades are made to run back-to-back cycles in cafes, juice bars and busy home kitchens. Compared with the Vitamix 5200, it trades the tall narrow container and manual controls for a shorter, wider container and simple dial-and-switch operation. Owners say it crushes ice and frozen fruit without stalling, but it is loud and heavy, and the container is smaller than the 64 oz jars on home models.
