When it comes to top-of-the-line blenders, you simply can’t go wrong with a Vitamix. It’s no surprise that Vitamix blenders are regularly editor-favorites around here, thanks to their long-lasting, powerful motors and strong airplane-grade stainless steel blades. It’s only natural that we’ve ranked one model (the Vitamix Professional Series 750, to be exact) as a repeat best blender winner Kitchn’s annual Essential Tools list. 

One thing about Vitamix blenders, however, is that they tend to be pretty pricey. While they’re totally worth the splurge, there’s no doubt that the best time to invest is when there’s a Vitamix sale taking place — which just so happens to be right now! From now until Mar. 6, you can take up to $50 off two top Vitamix blenders, the Explorian E310 and TurboBlend Three Speed. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to treat yourself to a Vitamix, now is the best time to do so!

While some of these blenders can cost upwards of $600, the more affordable Vitamix Explorian blender is a great option for anyone new to the Vitamix family. Coming in at under $300, this is a blender that will last you for years without any complicated or over-the-top controls. It comes with ten variable speeds for the perfect consistency depending on whether you’re chopping, blending, or puréeing. The laser-cut stainless steel blades can chop through nuts and fibrous greens, making it the perfect tool for professional-quality smoothies or juice. And, with its 48-ounce container, it’s the perfect size for two without being overly clunky on your counter. 

If you’re looking for a larger model, then the Vitamix TurboBlend is a great option. With a 64-ounce container, it’s ideal for large batches of smoothies or soup. It includes three easy settings, designed to allow you to turn your blender on and walk away while it goes to work. It also has a pulse button for chopping and food prep as well.

Reviewers of both models attested to making hot soup, gazpacho, smoothies, nut butter, hummus, and so much more with ease. One person wrote, “Absolute beast of a blender! Smoothies have ZERO chunks and I love how easy it is to use and clean.” Another added, “Previously I had to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth after my smoothies just to get all the bits and pieces and fruit skins out of my teeth, but the Vitamix blended my morning smoothie up into a completely uniform liquid. It was amazing!”

While it goes without saying that these Vitamix blenders will seriously upgrade your morning smoothie routine, investing in one will also improve your cooking in general. Whether you’re making frozen desserts, peanut butter, pizza dough, or homemade baby food, these blenders will make life in the kitchen so much easier.

In the middle of the summer, there’s nothing more refreshing than a fruity smoothie or a yummy glass of frosé. If you want to try your hand at making some yourself (and avoid spending $18 for a single frozen drink at that rooftop bar), then you’re in luck: The Instant Ace Nova Blender is on sale right now for 50 percent off. Not only does this blender boast the high quality of all of Instant Home’s products, it’s got the bells and whistles of a fancy blender at a fraction of the price — it’s currently retailing at just $59.99 (normally $119.99)! 

This versatile blender comes with nine pre-programmed settings: smoothies, purée, crushed ice, frozen desserts, soy milk, rice milk, nut milk and oat milk, chunky or creamy soups, and keep warm. Basically, you can use it for pretty much anything — reviewers report loving it for whipping up potato soup, baby food, applesauce, frozen cocktails, hot chocolate… the list goes on. Plus, the blender has 10 manual speed settings for extra control. 

The Instant Ace Nova Blender comes with eight stainless-steel blades that will quickly and thoroughly chop and grind your ingredients, whether they’re hot or cold. You can fit up to 56 ounces — about eight small smoothies — into the heat-resistant glass pitcher, making the blender a great tool for food prep or serving a crowd. 

The handy keep-warm setting keeps your meal hot and fresh, while the pulse setting can chop through tough frozen foods. Other unique features include the digital screen, which displays the temperature inside the pitcher as it changes, and the built-in safety measures, including overheat protection, auto-off, BPA/PFOA/PTFE-free material, and more.

One of the best parts about this product is how easy it is to clean. The self-cleaning program allows for hands-free wash-up — just pour in some water and a few drops of dish soap and press “clean” — and the blender comes with a brush for scrubbing and spot-cleaning. The brush can be conveniently stowed inside the dishwasher-safe tamper, which also features a concealed measuring cup. According to one happy customer, the tamper comes in handy when making ice cream and smoothies with frozen fruit, saying, “You just press the pause button, use the tamper, and then restart when you are done and the countdown continues where you left off.” As an added bonus, the blender also comes with a lint-free strainer bag for nut milks and other homemade liquids.

The price of this incredibly versatile blender is currently slashed to just $59.99 — aka the price of three restaurant glasses of frosé, plus tax. So whether you’re wanting to whip up some smoothies and sorbets for summer or looking ahead towards warm, wintery soups, snag this multitalented blender on sale while you can!
