Why Vita-Mix?

Choosing the best blender to suit your needs can be a daunting task — just go into any kitchen specialty store and look at the wide variety of choices available from different designs, to varying colors, to a plethora of containers and blades.

How do you choose? Vita-Mix Corporation has been in business for over 80 years, so we know a thing or two about what makes a blender last. Vita-Mix sells tens of thousands of blenders a year into homes, restaurants, hotels, bars and clubs, coffee shops, cruise ships, and more.

"Best and only blender you will ever need or use. Every morning I whip up a smoothie in no time or puree a pot of roasted butternut squash soup. Done in minutes. Not only is it quick, it's efficient. The Vita-Mix is so much more than a blender!"

Joanne Weir
Award-winning author, cooking teacher, chef and television personality.

"Vita-Mix is one of my essential kitchen tools. Whether I'm making a Mexican mole, or liquefying ingredients for a soup, or powdering spices for an Indian curry, or simply crushing ice for Margaritas, the Vita-Mix is the most efficient and quick blender made."

Hugh Carpenter
Award-winning cookbook author, cooking teacher and host of Camp Napa Culinary in Oakville, CA

“My mother let me borrow her Vita-Mix, and I have now been using it for more than a decade. It is an essential kitchen tool in both my home and restaurant, and I use it daily for creating my signature dishes such as Smoked Tomato and Buttermilk Blue Cheese Soup and Spicy Carrot and Almond Sauce for my Rabbit Strudel.”

Michael Symon
Executive Chef/Owner, Lola Bistro in Cleveland

“The Vita-Mix is high powered, easy to use and a breeze to clean. It does everything from blending the creamiest soups, sauces and smoothies ever to making delicious nut butter and rich dips…It’s the one machine that I tell all of my students they must have in their kitchens.”

Brenda Cobb
Founder & Director, Living Foods Institute in Atlanta

“My Vita-Mix is one of the most important tools in my kitchen, both at the restaurants and at home. It guarantees me perfectly smooth purees, soups and emulsions.”

Michael Schlow
Chef/Co-Owner, Radius, Via Matta and Great Bay Restaurants in Boston

"Using the CIA Professional Series for pureeing actually extracts more flavor and nutrients from the food than food processors or inferior blenders. The reason is that at high speeds, the cells within the food actually explode upon impact, releasing both flavor and vitamins. Believe it or not, the taste difference is very noticeable."

Jimmy Sneed Las Vegas, NV

“Kitchen Magic. Countertop real estate is a valued commodity in most kitchens. But for many home cooks, the siren call of new gadgets and electric appliances can be hard to ignore. We tested the newest arrivals and found a few worth making room for… The Vita-Mix Professional Series is one expensive blender. But this commercial-grade appliance not only emulsifies, grinds, and chops; it also turns raw vegetables into steaming hot soup in five minutes.”
Time Magazine

“Gentlemen, start your engines, rotating at 240 mph, this blender can cook soup…This is definitely not your average blender.”
HGTV I Want That

“My favorite blender was the Vita-Mix. The 2-horsepower motor, more than twice as powerful as that of the nearest competitor, enabled the Vita-Mix to grind coffee-none of the others could-and puree avocado soup in a flash. And at 8.5 cups, it had the largest container capacity.”
Wine Spectator

“The Vita-Mix Professional Series is not your average blender: It can turn raw vegetables into piping hot soup in a matter of minutes. The stainless steel blade generates speeds up to 240 mph, creating enough friction to bring soup up to serving temperature. Throw in fresh soup ingredients and you’ll get a steaming hot soup in minutes. The blender’s other tricks include juicing, grinding, kneading dough and even making ice cream.”

“Note:This damned machine is so powerful that you don’t even have to peel most fruits and vegetables! It reduces tomato skin, for example to froth. And as a “raw foods” chef who’s a good friend pointed out to me—unlike juicers, the Vita-Mix allows you to waste nothing, nutrient-wise. Every raw food freak worships the Vita-Mix, she told me!”
Rosengarten Report

“… the Vita-Mix Professional Series Blender brings the power of a professional tool to the home kitchen. It has a variable speed dial that allows it to tackle disparate tasks, such as juicing fruits and vegetables, making frozen treats, grinding nuts and chopping tomatoes. It even gets hot enough to cook soup!”
Cooking Pleasures
