More from this brandAll Vitamix countertop blendersOverview
Pressing the touch buttons starts one of the preset programs on this brushed stainless blender, while an on-screen indicator tells the user when the tamper should go in for thick blends. A recipe book is packed with it.
Hands-off programs with a digital timer and an extra-time button are the reason to look, for cooks who blend daily. The limit is footprint, since the unit is tall and the listing names a single container.
Who it's for
Home cooks making smoothies, soups and grinds regularly who value programs over manual control. Those short on counter height, or wanting personal cups, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Ten preset programs
- Touch buttons with digital timer
- Tamper indicator on screen
- Add 15 seconds button
- Tall for low cabinets
- One container included
- Heavy zinc base
Performance notes
A large motor spins laser-cut stainless blades through the container, and a metal drive system carries the load. Preset programs set time and speed, and the tamper indicator prompts the user to push thicker mixtures toward the blades. The self-cleaning program handles the wash.
