Vitamix Immersion Blender, Stainless Steel, 18 inches

I'm not a professional cook but I do cook a lot. I wanted an upgrade when my Kitchen Aid immersion blender just wasnt doing the job. It was between the Vitamix and the All Clad but the Vitamix, while more expensive, has more power and has a higher build quality. Watch for it to go on sale. The power is simply ridiculous - 650 watts with 5 speeds and 4 blades. Frankly full speed is enough to liquify anything and create a serious vortex. No issues with making Hollandaise or mayo and purees are fast and easy. If you can part with the money, this is the immersion blender to get.

super robusta

The Vitamix 5 Speed Immersion Blender has been outstanding. It delivers powerful, consistent blending with excellent control across all five speeds. The motor is strong enough to handle tough ingredients, yet smooth enough for soups, sauces, and purees without splatter. Build quality is solid and feels premium, as expected from Vitamix. Cleanup is quick, and the ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use for extended periods. It performs reliably, saves time, and produces professional level results at home. A high quality immersion blender that fully lives up to the Vitamix name.

Wow! This is a fabulous immersion blender true to the Vitamix brand!! I’m a happy owner of a Vitamix Pro 750 (used daily since 2012). This little, cute immersion blender has so much power! My boyfriend presented it to me as a Christmas gift but knew better than waiting until then to present it to me (because I already used it yesterday to make us pasta sauce from whole tomatoes, shallots, fresh basil and spices. It took me 45 seconds on level 2 to make dreamy sauce. I’m a power smoothie person and knew the true test would be my breakfast smoothie this morning. I layered the ingredients as instructed in the booklet (which is the opposite of what I do in my 750 Pro): cacao powder, sesame seeds, roasted peanuts, medjool dates, banana, water. I was skeptical it could produce a smooth smoothie in my actual big smoothie glass. Alas, I turned on the power, immersed this beauty into the ingredients as far down as it would go, started at speed 1 as they suggested and then cranked it slowly to speed 5. Ha! Speed 5 is so powerful I couldn’t move it so I put it down to 3 and blended for about 30 seconds. I was impressed! It made a creamy, dreamy smoothie! It wasn’t as smooth as my 750 Pro mainly because I still need to get the hang of moving the immersion blender around, up and down and figuring out the best speed and duration. It is awesome that I can easily clean it in a glass with water and a few drops of dish liquid in 10 seconds! I LOVE this immersion blender and look forward to making soups, sauces, nut butters and traveling with it once this pandemic is over. Thank you for another fabulous product, Vitamix family :-) ————— December 20, 2020 update. I’ve used the immersion blender 1-3 times a day since December 7. My smoothies are very smooth. I made carrot/ginger/cashew soup yesterday and it was creamy, smooth and blended on speed 3 for about 45 seconds. I made coconut milk hot cacao with spices this evening and used speed 3. After blending, I heated it and it was smooth and delicious on a cold day. I also made fresh, chipped ginger /freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice using speed 5 and the juice came out pretty smooth. It had ginger pulp which I expected. What I really love is that I can blend it in any container (as long as it’s wide enough) so I don’t dirty as many dishes. I also like that I can blend snall quantities that are too small to blend in my Vitamix 750 Pro. I’m very happy with it.
