Pricy for a hand blender, but AMAZINGLY POWERFUL.
5 Stars
Pricy for a hand blender, but AMAZINGLY POWERFUL.
IMPORTANT NOTE about ICE: I use immersion blenders for food, (e.g., soup, casseroles) but never for ice. So if you're using ice in smoothies, ignore my review. Sorry, I'm afraid this won't be helpful.REVIEW: I've had three previous hand/immersion blenders. This kitchen tool is used at least daily in my home, so it gets a decent workout. Each one lasted +/- five years before motors failed or parts fell off. That's pretty good since they cost approximately $45 - $65. My Vitamix Immersion Blender, Stainless Steel, 18 inches cost a lot more!I haven't had the Vitamix nearly five years, but I have been using it a lot for almost six months. Will it last? Man, I hope so!But, BOTTOM LINE, it WORKS SO MUCH BETTER than any of my earlier ones. This is one powerful little blender. Want some examples, see below?CLEANING: The instructions to spin the blades in clean water work perfectly. HOWEVER, my kitchen is very small, so I clean every food-prep dish the moment it's done it's work. Instead, I rinse the head/blades and use a little brush in case there are any food bits left. Works brilliantly.PARTS: Vitamix Immersion Blender, Stainless Steel, 18" doesn't come with attachments. Just handle and blender. The only accessory thing I miss is the whisk attachment. And I only missed it the one time my mind wondered while whipping cream and got butter. Heh, that's my fault. On its low (one light) setting, whipped cream, fluffy frosting, meringue, etc. puff right up faster than ever. So pay attention, remember it's not my/your old blender :)Some Examples:No-cream Roasted Cauliflower Soup (3 heads roasted) +/- 3 qt: 1 min low (1 light), 2 min (3 lights). For reference, was: 8-10 min high.Baba Ghanoush (3.5 med eggplant) +/-1.7 qt: 1 min low (1 light), 1 min (3 lights). For reference, was: 7-10 min high, with lots of scraping bowl sides.I know this is just a review, but if ya want recipes, just. (Though I'm into heart-healthy, almost-all plant-based food for my little fam.)

I've wanted an immersion blender for years and finally decided to go for it. I did my research and decided on the Vitamix. It has exceed my expectations and I'm very happy with my choice. The blender performs exactly as it does in the video provided (watch it!) and blends very smoothly and thoroughly. I've made a few smoothies (frozen banana, ice, berries, yogurt, spinach...even carrot and apple with the skin on). It came out great each time. I also made a pureed soup right in the pot which was extremely easy (see photo). The Vitamix churned through the cooked bacon, tomatoes, onions and carrots with ease and my pot was still pristine. You don't need to worry about anything damaging your pot. The sturdy black plastic portion surrounding the blades provides complete protection. Clean up is very simple. The lower blade portion twists off for rinsing. I like the fact that it's comprised of only two pieces. The motor is somewhat heavy, so if you are looking for a lightweight immersion blender this may not be right for you (if physically holding about two pounds is a challenge). However, the weight is well worth it for the powerful and efficient motor. The design was well thought out, it's user friendly, and it more than does the job. I personally didn't want any accessories (it doesn't come with any) and the clutter of additional pieces I may not use. If you have a wide mouth jar or glass (three inches or more) you're good to go. I highly recommend this Vitamix blender (and no...nobody asked me to say this...it's just really awesome).

Look, I think spending $149 on an immersion blender is plain ludicrous but I did, and here is why: I have an 18-year-old cat who is my absolute love and she has gotten to the point where she will not chew her wet food; she will only lick the juice and then leave the part that she has to chew. I think she has lost some teeth and chewing probably hurts. My remedy for this problem was to use my Hamilton Beach immersion blender to liquefy her food for her to make it easier for her to eat it. Well, after about 3 years of use, my Hamilton Beach immersion blender has started to slowly die on me. I could not run the risk of not being able to blend her food for her (because she literally would rather not eat than have to chew her food) so I researched the best immersion blenders. This Vitamix immersion blender was at the top of the list on every single list. All I could think was, there is no way that I am going to pay $149 for an immersion blender when I can buy one for about $30. Well, I did spend $149. Why? Because my hubby told me that I may as well go ahead and spend the money on something that will last for a long time because we recently got a rescue dog and the only way he will take his monthly pill is if it is blended into his wet food. *Le Sigh*

So now that you know why I bought it, let me tell you what I think of it. I tried my best to HATE it, but I do not. Granted, it is a lot heavier than my Hamilton Beach and it does sit up higher than my Hamilton Beach which is the only thing I can say I do not really like because a can of cat food is a very small amount and it takes a lot of scooping and scraping to get it all ground up, but the end result is a very nice paste that my cat enjoys quite a bit. That alone is worth the money. I ground my dogs' pill into his food yesterday and OH MY GOODNESS there were no little chunks of pill leftover! Just an extremely smooth consistency. That has me so impressed because as much as I liked my Hamilton Beach, it would not blend up his pill well and he would take the time to pick the chunks of his pill out of his food and spit them out on the ground before he would finish his food. I can not begin to explain my irritation with him doing that, but this time there was none of those shenanigans! He ate it all with no problem. It is also super easy to clean which is always a plus!

So all-in-all I am highly impressed with this immersion blender. I did not want to be. I wanted it to be trash and I wanted to fuss about it. I wanted to say to myself that I should have gotten another Hamilton Beach in the first place, but instead, the opposite has occurred. I love it so much that I bought the full-size blender which will promptly replace my Hamilton Beach blender. I also have Hamilton Beach personal blender cups and when I get the money I will be replacing those with some from Vitamix. Dang. I never thought I would become one of those "Vitamix people" (you know what I mean!) but I guess I have seen the light.

If you are on the fence, get it. You likely won't regret it. Ugh, it is just that stinking good. Enough said.

Another reviewer asked if this is worth 2 to 3 times what the kitchenaid sells for. I replaced my kitchenaid when it finally failed after years of service and I think it is. Heres why:

1. This blender is more powerful - the suction is very strong
2. This blender has 5 discrete blend modes and can work on low power. I generally always use 4 and 5 for my protein shake with ice. And the result is very smooth and creamy.
3. The construction is more substantial and feels of better quality
4. The spade has 4 points instead of 2 and it also includes a small 3D (depth) pair of edges to get down to the bottom of your drink.

Finally, there is a design feature of this blender that I really like. The blend attachment is bottom heavy. This means that you can safely leave it in the cup as you are working and it does not spill or tip the drink! I really grew to dislike the top heavy construction on my old blender and when I first learned to use it I left the handle in and spilled a couple drinks leaving a messy cleanup. I really like that I can detach the blender and leave it on the counter as I work in the kitchen.

If your using your hand blender every day, as I do, then it is worth the extra cost.

One constructive criticism I have is that there are two many blend speed settings and the blender should "remember" the last setting. Since I almost always use 4, I'd love it if the blender stayed there. As such I have to press the speed select 4 or 5 times every time I use the blender. I'd be perfectly fine if the blender had 2-3 good speeds rather than many.

Best blender we've ever had. Love that it accelerates. You can feel how heavy the motor is and it translates to power. With the four blades, blended things are so smooth. We never realized how grainy our previous immersion blender left things until we got this!

First of all, I am a huge fan of vitamix. I have the ascent blender, the food processing attachment, aerator, and the various size jugs. While I use the blender for various jobs, it is quite big. I saw an ad for this immersion blender, I thought why not give it a go! We do have the kitchenaid stick blender as well and next to this, it’s like a not even on the same scale, not even close. If you have ever used a vitamix, you know it’s built to last a lifetime. It’s a brand you can trust. If you can’t see yourself splurging on the big blender, this is a VERY good alternative that does the job just as well! In seconds, it pulverizes ice to make the perfect consistency smoothies. No chunks! The design of the bottom ensures the liquid is sucked into the blade and not the blade sucked into the container. It has the perfect weight and is easy to hold in any size hand. Yes, one hand is all you need on the stick itself. It looks great in the kitchen, too! I’ve also ordered the food processing attachment and the whisk, and can’t wait to try them out. This will be our go to for single smoothies from now on. I highly recommend, especially if you can get it on sale! $119cad for this is unbelievably cheap for what you get. At 625watt power, you really cannot do better.

The vitamix immersion blender is heavier than other immersion blenders which makes it feel solid and a well made product. The power is amazing. I purchased it to make my protein smoothies in the mornings. Since it is so powerful, it makes it like a frosty which is just yum.

Cleaning is a breeze and since it is 2 pieces, it is compact and storage is not an issue.
