It blended our green fruit smoothie much faster than any other model tested, taking just over 30 seconds and absolutely pulverizing all the ingredients. It was only one of only two models (the other was the Breville) to feature a plastic coating on its bell, a feature we love because it means you won’t have to worry about scratching up any non-stick pans or cutting yourself on the blade cage.īut best of all was the Vitamix’s performance during our recipe tests. The stainless steel blending wand with its four-blade design (all the others had three blades) attaches easily to the motor unit with a simple twist, locking into place, as does the whisking wand. It rose above the pack for its thoughtfully designed ergonomic handle that makes it super easy to control speeds with one hand, even while in use. A single-button control lets you select from five variable speed settings that are clearly displayed via LEDs on top of the handle. The 110-volt Vitamix version boasts a 625-watt motor, the most powerful of those we tested. The whisk was of clearly superior construction to the whisks supplied with the other models, and while the jar’s mouth was a bit narrow (it was hard to dig hummus out with a spatula) we liked the dual sets of metric and imperial markings.īut first, the motor. Adding them does get the cost of the unit up near $200, so it’s something to keep in mind.įor testing purposes, we added the 32-ounce blending jar ( $19.95 at Vitamix) and whisk attachment ( $19.95 at Vitamix) and we recommend investing in both. Since one of the selling points of an immersion blender is that you just use it in the container you’re preparing your food in, we don’t really mind the lack of accessories here, but they do come in handy. At around $150, it was the third-priciest immersion blender we tested, and only includes a motor body and blending wand, unlike some other models that included a range of accessories. Like its big sister blender, the compact model is relatively expensive compared to the competition. So we’re really not surprised Vitamix’s take on the immersion blender performed just as strongly. Able to eviscerate, well, pretty much anything, the brand took top luxury honors in our review of the best blenders. Vitamix has developed a cult-like following for its powerful - albeit pricey - traditional countertop blenders over the past several years.
