We all know about the Vitamix, either from personal experience or its widespread reputation as a modern legend. I’ve never owned one, until now, and after getting to put the latest version — the Vitamix Ascent — to the test, I can personally attest that it truly puts the majority of other blenders to shame. Intimidated by the price? Well, I’m about to tell you why you shouldn’t be.

First of all, if you’re used to the somewhat manual functionality of the OG Vitamix blenders, the Ascent series‘ interface may take a few uses to get the hang of. That’s because the Vitamix Ascent (specifically the 2300 series, the one I tried) has a smart detection system that blends your ingredients evenly by self-adjusting its speed as necessary. Not only does this make for quicker and silkier blends, but it prevents overheating (not great for cold recipes or your blender in general), jamming, clogging, overuse of energy, and the need to start and stop your blends just to scrape down the sides or shake the vessel.

Introduced to me by a personal chef who’s usually partial to old-school kitchen tools, the Ascent smart blender “isn’t cheating,” as he explained, but rather just a tool that elevates your kitchen skills by taking the place of a sous chef. He told me that while the Vitamix does the more labor-intensive tasks of blending and emulsifying, he’s able to work smarter and more quickly, reserving his energy for more creative or detail-oriented kitchen tasks, for the benefit of time-sensitive recipes and picky clients (who tend to also be in time crunches themselves).

For me, all I have to do is add my ingredients — whether for savory soups or fruity “nice” cream — and step away while it intuitively speeds up and slows down in order to blend everything evenly without any manual labor on my end. Its LED screen presents a timer, which not only lets me know exactly how long it takes to make my smoothies, soups, ice creams, and nut butters the exact consistency I want, but allows me to set the timer on whatever I’m making so I can be consistent every single time. As a wannabe chef, this is the single most effective kitchen tool when it comes to making me feel like a total pro.

Yes, Vitamix devices are expensive — and this one’s no exception. Luckily, it’s on sale right now, and it replaces a slew of different kitchen appliances, from ice cream makers and meat grinders to food processors, fondue machines, juicers, nut butter makers, blenders, and more. It also blends at a volume nearly 40 percent quieter than the competition. Basically, the Vitamix Ascent is as professional-grade as a home chef can get at a price like this, and since it’s $50 off at the moment, now could be the time to score one for yourself or the serious cook on your holiday gift list.

Vitamix Is Having a Huge Sale on Two of Its Most Iconic Blenders

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.

A great blender is a bit like a countertop sous chef: a workhorse that can dice veggies, make salsa in seconds, whip up nut butter and dips, and, of course, make the ubiquitous morning smoothie. And while any old blender can usually get the job done, there’s really nothing quite like a Vitamix. With airplane-grade stainless-steel blades that never warp and powerful motors that last forever, Vitamix offers superior construction and incomparable power. Its blades are so fast, just their friction alone can heat up your ingredients right inside the blender, giving you steaming-hot soup in minutes.

But craftsmanship like this comes at a price, which is why Vitamix’s Black Friday sale is a huge deal. Right now through Dec. 31, you can score $50 off Legacy Series and Ascent Series blenders, with some models and accessories marked down even more. It’s all part of their Cyber Weekend of sales, so if you’ve been looking to snag a Vitamix for yourself or for a holiday gift, now’s your chance. Not sure which one to get? We’ve spotlighted some of the best deals below. But act quickly — this sale ends soon.
