“If any piece of it gets run down or stops functioning properly, they take care of it,” Frenkiel says. Plus, as with all Vitamix blenders, it comes with a great warranty - something noted by Green Kitchen Stories co-founder David Frenkiel and recipe developer Sophia Roe. And unlike the One, it can easily handle tougher ingredients like nuts and grains (which means it’s also extra-efficient at crushing ice for smoothies).
It comes with five pre-determined settings for smoothies, hot soups, frozen desserts, purées, and a self-cleaning option (more on that below). It’s expensive, yes, but according to everyone who owns one, well worth the investment. Despite the name, it is beloved by professionals and regular cooks alike. On the lowest end, there’s the Vitamix One for $250 - a no-frills-but-still-powerful option if you don’t need or want a bunch of settings, buttons, and attachments. That being said, if you don’t use a blender with a ton of regularity, can’t splurge on something so pricey, or are living in a small space that doesn’t accommodate big appliances, there are plenty of other options with ringing endorsements to back them up.Ĭapacity: 64 ounces | Function: Automatic | Size: 8.5” x 8.5” x 17.25” Many of the people I spoke with own various models - it is, hands down, the most lauded brand across the board, making the kinds of pieces that will last you an actual lifetime. But there are also a lot to choose from, and in an attempt to narrow down the wide and overwhelming field, I asked a bunch of pros and avid cooks about the ones they rely on in their own kitchens.įirst things first: Vitamix reigns supreme in the blender universe. They’re truly so useful, as much of a staple for many people as a stove or microwave. Blenders can purée vegetables into soup, crush nuts into butter, whir dressings and sauces into silky emulsifications, chop ingredients into salsas, and, of course, make smoothies.
