Christmas came early: Vitamix’s buy-for-life blender is almost 50% off right now
The blender — which is at its lowest price in six months — has more than 10 speed settings.
The Vitamix 5200 blender has a 64-ounce (around 8 cups) capacity with a container made of BPA-free copolyester. It has stainless steel blades and more than 1,300 watts of power, which is more than enough to blend soft ingredients like yogurt, leafy greens, fruits and vegetables, and firm foods like ice and nuts. (For reference, I have a portable blender with 900 watts and it blends ice and other ingredients with little effort). You’ll also get a tamper to push ingredients down to make sure they’re evenly incorporated.
It’s suitable for cold and hot foods, so you can blend warm soups without worrying about the blender container cracking or breaking. It has 10 speed settings and a switch on the side to choose between either a high-speed blend or a variable one, which lets you customize the texture more easily. While the container isn’t dishwasher safe, you can clean it by adding a small amount of soap and water to it and rinsing it out.
