Here at Kitchn, we take our recommendations very seriously: Whether we’re on the hunt for the very best bottle of olive oil, trying out every cooking tool we can get our hands on, or meticulously testing the world’s supply of sheet pans (I mean, hello, it’s fall baking season!), we don’t mess around when it comes to sharing our favorite products. And, when the essential in question is a blender, there is one, clear, treasured brand among us Kitchn editors — Vitamix. While we would happily snag any of their tried-and-true, Best-List-winning kitchen workhorses at full price, nothing sweetens a good purchase like a little discount!
Right now, you can get your hands on one of these blending beauties for a total steal on Vitamix’s site because — drum roll, please — the fan-favorite brand is hosting their Annual Vitamix Days sale! That’s right, from now until 9 a.m. EST on Wednesday, Sep. 21, you can stock up on loads of blenders and bundles for up to 50 percent off. You better hurry, since with deals this good, these kitchen MVPs are bound to sell out — fast.
Here are some of our must-buys from the sale:
This 12-Cup Food Processor Attachment Bundle will make your weeknight meal prep a breeze and eliminate the hard work of daily slicing and dicing. Simply attach it to your Vitamix motor base (it's compatible with both Vitamix's Ascent and Venturist models), take your pick from one of the six different disc attachments, and voilá — that mirepoix will be ready in no time.
Keep things simple with this entry-level Vitamix blender. Sure, it's pretty darn user-friendly, but don't let that fool you! This thing mixes just as well as its more complex counterparts. Three speeds (low, medium, and high) combine with a pulse feature to achieve a wide range of textures suited to any number of culinary creations. Plus, if you buy this versatile appliance right now, you'll also get a classic cookbook included and $150 off!
Choosing the right Vitamix model for your kitchen can be a tough task (check out our cheat sheet here!) but knowing that the popular 5300 model has over 1300 five-star reviews certainly helps. With a low-profile, 64-ounce container, it's perfect for storing on your countertop or in your cabinets, where it'll fit with ease. When it comes to your smoothies, this do-it-all machine still packs all the power thanks to its 2.2 HP motor that can tackle even the toughest ingredients.
Originally $559.95, this short-lived annual sale brings one of Vitamix's most popular models down a whopping $260, making the 7500 even more enticing. Available in red, white, or black, this powerful machine features 10 variable speeds, allowing you to dice up a chunky tomato salsa, puree silky-smooth pasta sauce, or whip up an icy batch of margaritas. It also has a powerful 2.2 HP motor, a pulse feature, and an easy-to-store, 64-ounce container. For that price, what's stopping you?
It’s never a bad idea to snag a refurbished Vitamix! The company rebuilds them and puts them through a 17-step process to make sure the machines will give you the same performance as brand-new products. As for the powerful Venturist V1200, it comes with a digital timer that helps you avoid over-processing ingredients, plus self-detect technology that allows the motor base to recognize the container size you’ve chosen and adjust program settings accordingly. It's also compatible with the food processor attachment!
The top-of-the-line A3500 Vitamix blender is one of the most powerful models available (it even has the added benefits of wireless and Bluetooth connectivity, so you can control it from your phone). It can create creamy nut butter in seconds and hot soups in minutes — and once you're done, it also self-cleans! Right now, it's bundled with a whole slate of blending superstars: The set includes a tamper, a 64-ounce self-detect container, an Aer Disc container (which will whip cream effortlessly), two cookbooks, a booklet, and (of course) a do-it-all Motor Base.
