We’ve found they’re overkill if you mainly want to blend the occasional smoothie after a workout or serve up a batch of homemade frozen drinks to friends. The Vitamix home-use models we rate range from $130 to $630. That kind of power, design, and functionality, while impressive, comes at a premium price. ( Wolf is the other.) That may be partly because its blenders use high-quality materials-the blades are made of hardened stainless steel and the jars are Eastman Tritan copolyester-to withstand lots of torque. In fact, Vitamix is one of only two blender brands that garner top ratings for both predicted reliability and owner satisfaction in CR’s member survey. They’re built to last, too Vitamix models often outlive their five- to 10-year warranties. Others can perform culinary feats that the average blender can’t, such as grinding nuts into nut butters and heating up ingredients as they’re being transformed into soup.īlenders from Vitamix, which are considered premium or high performance, have dominated our ratings since we began testing the brand in 2006, earning an excellent score in many of our tests (and currently occupying the top three slots in our full-sized blender ratings). Some models boast a wattage equivalent to 2 to 3 horsepower (hp)-as much power as a 50-cubic-centimeter engine on a moped-which means they can pulverize ice, fruit, vegetables, and most other foods in less than a minute. And their versatility has advanced significantly, far beyond the classic milkshake. Nearly a century later, blenders are still a kitchen staple-never mind at restaurants, bars, and Starbucks. Well before microwave ovens and air fryers came along, blenders changed the game.
The first blenders to hit kitchen counters in the 1920s were for whipping up malted milk and gave busy home cooks a handy option to quickly prepare food and snacks.
