With so many blenders on the market, selecting the right one is a process that requires careful consideration. Not all blenders are made alike, and as such, elements such as size, speed, and wattage are important to think about.
Vitamix is a brand that needs no introduction, with legions of celebrities among their fans. Kourtney Kardashian is one of them – Poosh, her lifestyle brand, shared a photo of her with a Vitamix, one of the best blenders on the market, which she used to make an organic smoothie.
Fortunately, we not only found the model she uses, but it is also on sale. The Vitamix 5200 Blender (available on Amazon) is typically $428.00, but it's now on for $349.95 (as part of the most noteworthy Vitamix deals currently live for Black Friday). H&G's appliance editor, Lydia Hayman, warns these deals are selling out fast, and she's not sure how long they'll last, so why wait to follow Kardashian's lead?
This black and grey Vitamix is just as sleek as it is powerful, with a 64 oz. container and stainless-steel blades. A bonus? It self-cleans – just add dish soap and water and blend for 30 to 60 seconds.
With a speed dial that gives options from 1-10, this Vitamix model is ideal for anything from soups and smoothies to sauces and salsas. The 64 oz container also allows for large batches, making this a great option for families or those who host.
Additionally, the blender also has the ability to heat up food with its blades, using friction-based technology to warm items like soup in six minutes. It's no surprise that Hayman counts it among the best Black Friday homes deals of the year.
'Tall, sleek, and slim enough to deserve in kitchens with spacious kitchen islands,' Hayman comments. 'The distinctive angled sides ensure a smooth, even blend while enhancing its ability to heat soup and self-clean efficiently. It’s the perfect choice for kitchen islands, but its height isn't suited to counters with low-hanging wall cabinets.' If your kitchen falls into the latter, then fear not. We've rounded up some other H&G Vitamix favorites, all of which happen to be on sale right now. Act fast.
With five presets and the ability to make soup as well as smoothies, this powerful and versatile blender was a fast favorite. It has over ten speeds and is universally beloved. It's an expensive choice, so it's definitely worth making the most of any discounts available.
The Vitamix Professional series is the original blender that earned Vitamix its formidable reputation. Boasting a phenomenal 1640 watts of power and five preset programs for easy blending. It also has self-cleaning features, so you can simply add a drop of dish soap and warm water and watch your blender clean itself in 30 seconds to a minute.
The variable speed control and pulse features of this blender can whip up every texture, perfect for catering to a whole host of family needs. Due to this blender's self-detect technology, the base will adjust the settings according to whichever container you choose.
