Is the Quick & Quiet worth the price?

It is the pick if noise is your main complaint about blenders. If you blend rarely or don't mind the sound, a standard Vitamix costs much less and blends just as well.

How loud is it compared with a regular Vitamix?

The sound enclosure surrounds the jar and motor, so it is clearly quieter than an open Vitamix jar. It is not silent; you still hear the motor, just muffled.

The blender base, the 40 oz Tritan container, the lid and the sound enclosure. The dual advance blade assembly is built into the container.

Will the 40 oz jar be big enough?

It suits one to two servings of smoothie or a batch of sauce. For family-size batches or soup for four, a larger 64 oz jar model fits better.

Does it fit under kitchen cabinets?

It stands 18 inches tall with the enclosure on, so measure your clearance first. Many upper cabinets sit lower than that.

How does it compare with the Vitamix 5200?

Both blend with the same Vitamix motor power and variable speed control. The 5200 is an open-jar machine that is louder and shorter, with a 64 oz jar; the Quick & Quiet trades that capacity for the sound enclosure.
