Overview
Vitamix's Propel 510 is a 48-ounce countertop blender with three preset programs for smoothies, hot soup and frozen dessert, built around the same high-performance motor platform as the brand's higher-end models.
It sits below Vitamix's 750 in the lineup, aimed at buyers who want the presets they actually use without paying for extras they don't. Reviewers new to blending say they got professional-looking results quickly, but the tradeoff for that motor strength shows up as noise and, on high speed, some movement from the jar or base itself.
- 48-ounce BPA-free Tritan container sized for 1-2 servings
- 3 presets: Smoothie, Hot Soup, Frozen Dessert, plus manual speed and pulse
- High-performance motor built for professional-grade blending
- Ships with motor base, mini tamper and Simply Smoothies cookbook
Who it's for
Good for someone replacing a worn-out blender who wants walk-away presets and doesn't need the largest jar Vitamix sells. Less suited to anyone needing near-silent operation or a unit that stays planted on the counter at full speed.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Owners consistently praise blend quality, several calling it smoother than their old blenders with no chunks left in greens or fruit. The self-clean cycle and the smoothie and soup presets also draw praise. The complaints are mechanical: multiple reviewers say the unit is loud, and one noted the container, and at times the whole base, moves across the counter when blending on high speed.

What's the difference between the Propel 510 and Vitamix's 750?

How loud is the Vitamix Propel 510?
Reviewers describe it as loud during operation, a tradeoff several called worth it for the blend quality.
