Does a great job. Nice that the power level can be increased and you are not limited by “on or off”

I like the fact that is stainless steel. Work great so far, no complaints.

I love it....got nice price match....it made my life easier and motor is powerful

Great kitchen tool. Heavy duty stainless steel. Quality product.

Received item ordered on time in good condition for Christmas present.

Excellent blender! Works even better than expected.

We replaced our kitchen aid with this blender. Although more expensive it is well worth it and works very well. Glad we spent the extra dollars and up graded.

Very smooth and quick, love it! Highly recommended!

Good blender, work very good. price high but good.

doesn't work the way I thought. , I would have liked to push on power button and adjusted speed , instead of holding power button

This is my first encounter with an Immersion Blender and it was a good one!! Out of the box I found a sturdy, well built blender! It is however heavier than I anticipated which is not a bad thing just didn't expect it. It was easy to assemble just twist the 2 pieces together and you are good. I like that the controls are right at your fingertips and it is a one handed appliance - being able to add ingredients with the other free hand if needed. There are 5 speeds and a LED light on the top of the handle to let you see which lever you are on. It also has a longer cord to make it easier if you are working a little further from an outlet. It has a hard plastic cover over the blade end, but it would be nice if this was a more durable longer lasting cover. It turns off as soon as you let go of the power button which I view as a great safety item! The immersion piece is dishwasher safe but I preferred to put it into a jar with soap and water to clean it - much quicker and easy. I found making a smoothie for my son so easy with this instead of pulling out the blender. Just added the ingredients as suggested in the booklet right into a large 4 cup measuring cup and then transferred into his blender/travel cup. He even stated that it was easy enough for him to do going forward!! I also made a broccoli cheddar soup that was smooth and creamy and so simple to do in the pot. I pulled out some of the cooked broccoli before I blended it and added it back on top with a little extra shredded cheese when serving. This is a great addition to my shelf of appliances that I'm sure will be used many times a week for smoothies and meals. Great job Vitamix!!

good machine for the price , can mix everything that i tried

Throw away your other immersion blenders. This one is heavy, sturdy and a monster at breaking down various foods. Whether its frozen, solid, cold, grainy or hot, this handles it with ease. My favorite part is that I’m able to use this in my slow or instant cooker without damaging the pots. I can also safely use it in other containers, like glass without worrying about it. It is quality made, no cheap plastics. The handle has a non-slip coating that allows it to feel secure and easy to hold and operate with one hand. It has 5 speeds, and lights up at the top when changing speeds so you can easily see what speed you’re at. You can easily detach the blender portion from the handle for easy cleaning. I usually make my smoothies in a big blender and make more than I need but this has changed the game for me in the last several days. I’ve made my daily smoothies and I’ve used this in my instant pot while making a soup. The only complaint that I have is I wish it came with a storage bag. For the price and the quality we should be able to protect it when storing it away.

Impressive, however, it was too heavy for me; returned it.

Full Disclosure: I received this product through Best Buy’s Tech Insider Network in exchange for an honest evaluation and an unbiased review. Weighing in at 2 pounds, 10 ounces and standing nearly 18 inches tall, this Vitamix Immersion Blender is a beast! I have never seen one this well-made. It is made mostly of metal with a little bit of a tough synthetic here and there. One of the places Vitamix used synthetics was in the bell or blade guard. A lot of professional chef-style immersion blending occurs right in the cookware like sauce pans. So Vitamix gave their Immersion Blender a unique bell guard that won't scratch the non-stick coating on your expensive cookware and bowls. The top four inches of the motor housing is the handgrip which is made of a rubberized material making it nonslip and very easy to hold on to. There are only two very simple controls: an on/off button and a speed control button. The on/off button is not a standard two position on/off switch. It is actually a push and hold switch. Pushing the button in activates the motor which will run as long as you hold the button in. Releasing the button will stop the motor. Think of it like a trigger. The speed control button increases the speed one increment with each push of the button. After you reach the fifth preset speed, which is the highest speed, another push of the button will drop the speed down to the first preset speed, which is the lowest speed. You can use the speed control button to select a speed prior to activating the motor or you can activate the motor and then change preset speeds while operating the blender. There are five LED lights on the top of the blender that light up to indicate which speed the blender is set to. Yes, of course, we used this blender way below its station by using it to make us some wonderful milkshakes. It wasn't insulted and it used its power to turn some pretty hard ice cream into some pretty pleasing milkshakes. Next, we used it to blend the yokes for a batch of deviled eggs. It gave us the smoothest yolk mixture we've ever had. The mixture was not grainy at all. They were a hit. We also used it to quickly whip up some scrambled eggs for breakfast several mornings. Each time we ended up with the smoothest, most fluffy scrambled eggs we've ever had. They were incredible! My 9-year-old granddaughter couldn't get enough of them and she's very picky about her scrambled eggs. After we fried chicken in a deep skillet we used this immersion blender right in the cookware to turn the leavings, flour, and milk into the finest gravy we've ever ate. It was so creamy we couldn't believe it. All the solids in the leavings were completely blended into the gravy. This only added to the flavor which was phenomenal. This Vitamix Immersion Blender is by far the best immersion blender our family has ever owned. Over the years, our family has worn out an unknown number of cheaper wand blenders. Maybe five or six. But, this Vitamix may be the last immersion blender we ever own. And if it does ever wear out, I guarantee you we will buy another one just like it. Vitamix does back up this blender up with a 3 year, best in the industry, FULL warranty, but I doubt you will ever need it. My whole family and I can enthusiastically recommend this Vitamix Immersion Blender to anyone looking for a premium immersion blender. So go ahead and spend the extra money because you won't be disappointed in any way.

great very convenient love this cordless reaches all my pots

High power, high quality immersion blender. The multi-speed feature enables you to match the power to the task. Use high speed to blend ice into smoothies or low speed to mix flavored butter or sauces. As easy to clean as non-stick surfaces, though I don't think it specifically claims to be. All you need to do is fill a cup with water, add a drop of dishwashing soap, blend it on low for a few seconds, then rinse and dry. Highly recommend.

This Vitamix blender is a very powerful tool for any kitchen warrior. It is a quality product and the design is very well thought. It’s easy to store the blender as you can disassemble the blender into two parts, which also makes cleaning job easy. Using the hand blender is very easy but I recommend people to read the manual and watch the demo video provided by Vitamix in order to learn the right technique when using the hand blender. Our family use hand blender to make smoothies and I particularly find it very useful to make a blend of Asian spices for traditional culinary dishes. It makes blending job more precise as you can control the speed and area of impact so that you would have more control over the texture. We’ve been using a hand blender from different brand before but this one is the more powerful. The blender is powerful enough to crush ice so it’s a great tool to make your favorite smoothies. Overall a nice quality product by Vitamix.

Over the years one acquires some blender experience. I think a blender was my first "adult" appliance purchase. This little guy is backed by a 3 year warranty and feels like it was built to last. 625 watts seems like a lot for a handheld blender. Depending on what you want to do with it, that might be more than plenty. What I loved: the lowermost part of the blade guard is plastic, even though the shaft of the blender is stainless steel. This keeps you from scratching any of your non-stick cookware if you're using it in those. The build is solid and this thing is well made. Easy to clean and durable, with multiple blending speeds available under your fingertip while you're using it. What I didn't love: You need a plan for using this blender. If there are things that need to be broken completely down in your smoothie/blended food, it might struggle a little. Chunks of ice or whole nuts will leave you desiring your countertop blender in this case. Overall this thing is great and was just the product to push me over the edge into the immersion blender biz. I will be keeping this at hand in my kitchen for a long time. I would recommend!
