The 8 Best Vitamix Blenders

1. Vitamix 7500 Blender – Best Overall

Our overall favorite is the Vitamix 7500 Blender, a sturdy model with plenty of capacity and quite a few speed options. This blender combines many of Vitamix’s best qualities, with a very powerful motor and a great warranty.

At 13 pounds, this blender is on the heavier side, but it’s also moderately priced and powerful. The black plastic body comes in a choice of red, black, or white accents, and the all-metal drive has a strong, cool-running 2.2-horsepower motor. There aren’t any presets, but you will have a pulse feature and a choice of 10 variable speeds, and we found the switch and dial interface somewhat clunky but very functional. The four-tip blade assembly is made of hardened stainless steel.

This model won’t work well for smaller quantities and doesn’t have any single-serve features. The low-profile 64-ounce plastic blending container feels fairly durable and fits more easily under cabinets but doesn’t blend as smoothly. The package does include a plastic tamper to ensure smoother blending. The 7500 comes with a lengthy seven-year warranty covering parts, labor, and shipping.

All in all, we think that this is the best Vitamix blender this year.

2. Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender – Best Value

If you’re working with a smaller budget, the best Vitamix blender for the money is the E310 Explorian Blender, a smaller model that’s plenty powerful and very fairly priced.

This 11.5-pound model is light for a Vitamix and has a strong two-horsepower motor with a radial cooling fan and automatic thermal protection. The interface is inelegant but simple to operate, offering no presets but a pulse feature and 10 variable speeds. The plastic blending container has a smaller 48-ounce capacity, and the package includes sturdy four-tip stainless steel blades, a mini-tamper, and a cookbook.

We found this model very loud. It also doesn’t work well with drier ingredients, so it’s a better choice if you typically blend with lots of liquid. The small capacity also means you’ll have a harder time blending for a party. Vitamix offers a shorter five-year warranty on this model.

3. Vitamix 750 Blender – Best Premium Choice

If you’re willing to spend a bit more, you may be interested in the added features of the Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender, our top pick in the premium category. This high-end model has an appealing design, a good range of presets, and a strong motor.

This 11.5-pound blender is surprisingly light given its extra features and powerful 2.2-horsepower motor. The base comes in an elegant range of metallic finishes, and the simple switch and dial interface offers a pulse feature, 10 variable speeds, and five presets, including soup, smoothie, and self-cleaning options. This model comes with a low-profile 64-ounce plastic container, which doesn’t blend as smoothly but fits nicely under cabinets, a compatible tamper, and a cookbook.

This model is significantly more expensive, and we were disappointed to find that the motor doesn’t feel especially durable. Vitamix offers a good seven-year warranty for this model.

4. Vitamix A3500 Smart Blender

The Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series Smart Blender is heavy and pricey but offers a range of smart features and an impressive warranty. If you’re looking for an automated blender that will optimize its settings for you, this model could be your pick.

The 14.92-pound A3500 has a strong 2.2-horsepower motor, a sturdy four-tip stainless steel blade assembly, and a sleek but fairly complicated interface, so you’ll have to spend some time with the manual. The touchscreen system offers five presets, including self-cleaning, smoothie, and frozen dessert programs, plus a range of manual speeds and a timer. This machine is designed to work with any of Vitamix’s Ascent Series blending containers, as the smart base reads the attached container and automatically adjusts its settings. This model also connects to the Vitamix app for extra programs and recipes.

The package includes a low-profile 64-ounce blending pitcher, a tamper, and a cookbook. In testing, we found that the lid can be difficult to remove and the motor doesn’t feel durable enough to justify the price point. Vitamix does offer a very lengthy 10-year warranty for this model.

5. Vitamix Blender (A2500 Smart)

The Vitamix A2500 Ascent Series Smart Blender is a lighter, slightly less expensive smart blender with fewer features but plenty of functionality.

This 11-pound model has a sleek, streamlined interface that offers a timer, 10 variable speeds, a pulse feature, and three presets, for smoothies, hot soups, and frozen desserts. It comes with a smart base that reads the container you place on it and automatically adjusts for a smoother blend. It has wireless capabilities that work with Vitamix’s app to bring you additional programs and recipes.

The low-profile 64-ounce pitcher isn’t particularly well-designed, so you may end up spending more money on other compatible blending containers. It’s also quite loud, and you’ll probably have to use the included tamper to get a smooth blend. We found the machine’s gears less durable than anticipated. This model comes with a great 10-year warranty.

6. Vitamix Blender (5200)

Less expensive, with a basic interface and limited features, the Vitamix 5200 Professional Grade Blender is a decent option. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have a very durable motor or any preset options.

This model comes with Vitamix’s classic 64-ounce Tritan pitcher, which we found to produce smoother blends. At 10.56 pounds, it’s fairly lightweight and has a basic switch and dial interface offering 10 variable speeds. The included tamper works well, and the two-horsepower motor is equipped with a radial cooling fan and thermal protection.

This machine doesn’t work as well for small quantities and is quite loud. It’s easy to use but somewhat bulky and not particularly good-looking. Vitamix includes a good seven-year warranty.

7. Vitamix A2300 Smart Blender

The well-priced Vitamix A2300 Ascent Series Smart Blender has a sleek interface and several smart features but doesn’t work as well as the company’s other smart blenders.

At 11 pounds, this model is fairly lightweight, with a generously-sized low-profile 64-ounce blending container and an included tamper. The streamlined interface is easy to use and includes a digital timer, which can keep track of how long you’ve been blending but doesn’t shut off automatically. This machine has a pulse feature and 10 variable speeds but no presets, though it does connect to the Vitamix app. It’s also compatible with all of Vitamix’s Ascent Series containers and can automatically adapt to their varying sizes.

The A2300 is loud and doesn’t feel as durable as we’d like. In testing, we found that it has an odd range of features, combining smart capabilities with a lack of built-in presets and a very limited digital timer. It does come with a great 10-year warranty.

8. Vitamix Blender (Quiet One)

Our least favorite blender is the Vitamix 36019 36019-1 Vita-Mix Quiet One Blender, a very expensive, heavy machine that offers an impressive array of features but has significant drawbacks, like a lack of durability and a surprisingly short warranty.

As its name suggests, this blender is designed to be quiet, with a magnetically-secured sound-dampening hood. It weighs a hefty 23.6 pounds and has a surprisingly small 48-ounce Tritan blending pitcher. It’s very powerful, with a three-horsepower motor, and the complicated interface features six optimized presets, 34 programs, and 93 variable speeds.

This model is very quiet but is also bulky and too expensive for many budgets. It’s not very durable and the hood has an unattractively industrial appearance. The short warranty covers the motor for three years, with one year of labor and accessories coverage. This model is intended for commercial use, so you’ll void the warranty if you use it at home.

Buyer’s Guide: Factors to Consider When Choosing the Best Vitamix Blender

Vitamix is known as a powerful, dependable brand, so any blender you select should work fairly well. Their blenders are engineered and assembled in the United States, and the company is known for having good customer service and generous warranties.

Because we’re looking at appliances from the same brand, there are a lot of similarities between these models. They do vary in ways that could affect your experience, however, so how do you know which model to buy? Keep reading for a guide that will help you choose the best Vitamix blender for your needs:

Blending Power

Vitamix’s blenders have strong motors, with strengths ranging from two to three horsepower, which is the equivalent of 1,500 to 2,200 watts. These powerful motors are at the high end of the blenders available from other companies and should be able to handle any ingredients you throw at them. If you need an especially powerful model, you’ll probably want to look for one with a three-horsepower motor.

Capacity

What quantity do you like to blend? If you regularly blend for a party, you may want a blender with a high capacity, like the 64-ounce option. If you don’t need as much capacity, the 48-ounce pitcher may be enough for you. If you’d like to be able to blend in a travel cup, you may need to purchase a model that’s compatible with Vitamix’s Ascent Series containers.

Our tests found that the low-profile 64-ounce blending pitchers aren’t as well designed for smooth blending. The taller classic design does a better job of pushing ingredients onto the blades without missing any larger chunks.

All of Vitamix’s blending containers are made of durable, dishwasher-safe Tritan plastic. These pitchers are easy to clean and won’t break if you drop them. However, they’re not as attractive or durable as glass pitchers and may become stained, pitted, or even cracked with heavy use.

Weight

Vitamix blenders can range from around 10 pounds up to over 20. How much space do you have in your kitchen, and how much will you be moving your new blender around? If your space is limited, you may want a more streamlined model. If you have the room to leave your blender on the counter, you may prefer the added features of a larger model.

Noise

Most blenders are loud appliances, and Vitamix’s models are no exception. If you’re very noise-sensitive, you may be interested in special noise-dampening features like the sound hood on the Quiet One blender.

Interface

You have a choice of interfaces in Vitamix blenders. Button interfaces are generally the easiest to use, with straightforward labeling. Switch and dial interfaces can be simple to use but are also clunkier and less elegant. The sleekest option, available on higher-end models, is a touchscreen interface, which may take more time to learn but often offers the largest number of features.

Presets and Variable Speeds

Vitamix blenders all offer the option of at least 10 variable speeds. These are manual speeds that you can adjust via a dial or a touchscreen interface. You’ll set the speed and hold the start button for as long as your ingredients take to blend. Some models have count-up timers that will allow you to monitor how long you’ve been blending. These basic timers are just for your reference, so you won’t be able to program them and the machine won’t automatically shut off.

If you prefer a more hands-off approach, you may want to look for models with preset options. These are built-in programs that optimize the speed and duration of the blend for specific tasks, like cleaning, heating soup, or blending frozen drinks. With these convenient programs, all you have to do is add the ingredients and push the button, and the machine will automatically turn off when it’s finished.

Some Vitamix models, like the Quiet One blender, offer a significantly larger range of speeds and presets. If you want more than a few programs, you may want to look more closely at those models.

Smart Features

If you’d like a more automatic blender, you may be interested in a model with smart features. For Vitamix blenders, this means wireless capabilities and container reading features. Keep in mind that smart blenders are often more expensive and may be more difficult to operate.

A Vitamix blender with wireless capabilities can connect to the company’s app, which offers a range of extra programs and recipes. If you’re willing to take the time to learn it, this can extend your new blender’s functionality.

Some Vitamix blenders offer a feature called Self-Detect, which is a component in the blade base that’s designed to read information printed on the company’s specialized Ascent Series blending containers. The computer learns the size of your blending container and automatically adjusts its settings for smooth blending. You can buy these containers in a range of sizes, from small chopping bowls and travel cups to larger 48- or 64-ounce blending pitchers. This is convenient if you’re interested in blending a range of quantities but also means you may end up spending more money.

Commercial vs. Home Use

Are you shopping for a blender to use at home or in a commercial setting? Commercial blenders often have more powerful motors and may offer extra features like a wider array of programs or sound-dampening components. They’re also significantly more expensive and heavier.

Personal blenders are smaller and may have fewer features but will likely be less expensive. If you don’t need the power and features of a commercial blender, you’ll probably find plenty of functionality in a home model.

Warranty

Though all of these blenders are made by the same company, their warranties vary quite a bit. For the residential models, the warranties range from five years of coverage up to 10 years, and many models will allow you to buy an extra coverage period. If you’d like your investment to be as protected as possible, you’ll probably want to choose a model with a lengthy warranty, and you may want to consider purchasing the warranty extension.

Commercial models have shorter, more limited warranties, and these warranties will be voided if you use your blender at home. If you purchase a commercial blender, like the Quiet One, for your home, you won’t have any warranty coverage.

Conclusion

Our top pick is the Vitamix 7500 Blender, which is sturdy, powerful, and offers a good array of features. If you’d like to save money, the E310 Explorian Blender offers great value, with a simple interface and a good motor. Are you looking for a high-end model? You may want to try the Vitamix Professional Series 750 Blender, an elegant machine with useful presets and a generous warranty.

Choosing among Vitamix’s blenders can be a difficult task, but it doesn’t have to take up all of your time. We hope this list of the company’s eight best models, complete with detailed reviews and a comprehensive guide to the available features, helps you shop more efficiently.
