Customer Ratings & Reviews

At every turn, can’t help but endorse the Vitamix brand, especially since my 5200 blender has been doing daily heavy lifts in my kitchen for over 30 years. Yet another testament to the durability of their product line, I still have their long discontinued VitaVac, a beast of a vacuum cleaner that will outlive me. Back to 2020, Vitamix has delivered another level of convenience with its version of a stick blender. For blends of soups, sauces, hummus, guacamole, salad dressings and single serve smoothies or fruit bowls, I find cleanup faster than with the 5200 blender’s large carafe. I just add water to the used container, add 1-2 drops of liquid detergent, bring the blender up to level 3 or more of its 5 speeds. In seconds, the container AND the wand are clean! For storage, the base gets a quick wipe then one twist separates the wand from the base. No clean up required of a full sized blender’s rubber top, plunger, rubber platform with its creases and crevices and those of its large carafe. So, even on a hectic day, the immersion blending option doesn’t leave me with the attention to detail required by my full sized blender, resulting in the pressure of a time consuming cleanup before I leave or after returning home. For my first try, at 625 watts (less than half the watts of my countertop blender), just a little extra run time turned ice, kale, hard chunks of ginger, a few layers of frozen fruit, drops of stevia, and almond milk into a smoothie that competes with the big machine. So, for boats and RVs, this would be the lighter, more space and energy efficient tool to satisfy a smoothie habit while making fast work of other small and large recipes. Attachments are forthcoming. I suspect, as well, the Immersion Blender will soon be posted for buyers to receive purchase points at the www.Vitamix.com/rewards program. In my book, a cordless version of this stick blender would be much appreciated; but, only if a lithium battery can make the unit lighter to maintain one-handed ease. Otherwise, cord length is not stingy, affording a good range of mobility. Great tool for the foodie!

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!

I was surprised at just how heavy - for me - this blender is. That is my big con with it and why it lost a star. Now, on the plus side, due to the coating on it, I am able to rest it in my pan without worry about scratching the pan. It does have a good grip on it and, someone with more strength than me, will easily be able to use it with one hand. My gourmet SOL loves it and has no trouble wielding this blender. I regularly add riced cauliflower and broccoli to my sauces but that means you can see the little lumps. I used this on my spaghetti sauce and it pureed the veggies that were in it so now I was able to have a hearty sauce with no lumps - a benefit as the grandkids don't like lumpy spaghetti sauce. As long someone has the strength, this is a good option.

The unit was easy to assemble and the instructions/recipe book was a nice extra. The blender feels very solid and well made and the extra weight seemed to help reduce vibration when chopping/blending. We made vegetable soup and the blender was a great deal better than previous methods - very smooth and even consistency. Washing up the unit afterwards was painless, the stainless steel finish looks great, being able to break it down after use also means we could store it in a shallow drawer. We are very pleased with this hand blender.

I got this as part of the Best Buy Tech Insider Program, and I am loving it. I love making soups but always stuck to the basics like chicken noodle and stews. Getting the Vitamix Immersion blender has opened the door to more exciting and tasty soups. It has no problem blending up hearty vegetables and potatoes to a creamy consistency. I also love that it has a silicon base so I don't have to worry about scratching my ceramic or Teflon pots. I love this blender and highly recommend it to anyone who likes to cook.

There is an expression, you get what you pay for. I had a much cheaper hand blender that was difficult to use. I got the Vitamix knowing they make quality products. THis item is great. It has multiple speeds and does a great job blending. It requires much less effort than cheaper models and is more robust at blending. What i love is it detaches form the motor making cleaning much easier without worry of getting electrical components wet. Vitamix make great products and this did not disappoint.

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.

Great at blending up and breaking down some seeds and nuts in an emulsion of other vegetables. Some leafy greens get stringy and plugs the holes. Getting food from under the blades is a challenge. The switch to change speed is positioned where its too easy to hit when holding and running the power button. Gets a little warm.

Great handblender, use it commercial kitchen, Speeds make it great for creating different consistencies.

Vitamix always makes a good product and this is no exception. We've already made some great soups with it and we anticipate being able to make some great baby food in a few months as well. The one drawback this unit has is that you have to hold down the power button and can't change the speed while the blender is running. I wish there was a feature that allowed you to lock the unit to the on position and change the speed on the fly. Other than that, I would highly recommend this product.

If you are looking for a powerful handheld blender look no further! Vitamix. Its easier for me to use this to blend things and the clean up is extremely easy. It is a must have for the cooks in the family and makes are great gift.

I've only used this once so far, but I do like it. I made some broccoli soup from scratch. It blended the cooked broccoli perfectly. I've got no complaints and do recommend!

It’s very powerful and doesn’t take up kitchen space. The best blender I’ve ever had.

Excellent product. I know I will enjoy for years to come!

Great blender, a lot of power. I have a vitamix and they are great products to own.

More sophisticated than I needed and just too heavy to use for extended period of time
