Like most comparable models, this blender comes with a mini tamper and recipe book. It offers settings for smoothies, hot soups and frozen desserts, plus a pulsing button for shredding up ice and other \"sticking\" foods.\r\n\r\nWhat really makes it worth the price is that this model is equipped to heat soups and make nut butter. Our testing team had to play around with the settings, but eventually, they blended all the peanuts into a passable\u2014albeit chunky\u2014butter. \"Of the four Vitamix blenders we tested, this was our favorite,\" says former tester Sheri Kaz<\/a>. \"The performance was outstanding.\"\r\n\r\n[quote-card quote=\"Vitamix has an extensive list of blenders, and the Propel 510 is a great mid-tier model. It performs well and will last you years, while still being reasonably priced.\" name=\"sydney Manning\" title=\"former product testing team member\" \/]\r\n\r\nAt around $500, it's definitely one of the more expensive blenders out there\u2014though the price point is pretty mid-tier for a Vitamix. Additionally, the tabs that secure the lids on each Vitamix model aren't our testing team's favorite. That said, this model has more preset options compared to less user-friendly Vitamix options, which is nice for newbies to the brand. Overall, those looking for a well-rounded blender that's capable of crushing up ice and built for years of use will find the Vitamix Propel 510<\/a> perfectly suited to their kitchen tasks.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Budget\" product_name=\"E310 Explorian Vitamix\" pros=\"Powerful motor\" pros1=\"Cord management\" pros2=\"Tamper included\" pros3=\"Self clean mode\" cons=\"Interface not user-friendly\" cons1=\"Lid design\" image=\"2089430\" image_credit=\"EMIKO FRANZEN FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Vitamix\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vitamix.com%2Fus%2Fen_us%2Fshop%2Fe310\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Vitamix\" retailers_2_name=\"Walmart\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FVitamix-Explorian-E310-Series-Black%2F438147733\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" retailers_3_name=\"Wayfair\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/www.tkqlhce.com\/click-9070496-13730087?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wayfair.com%2FVitamix%25C2%25AE--Vitamix%25C2%25AE-Explorian%25C2%25AE-E310-Blender-64068-L811-K%7EVTM1080.html%3F%26PiID%255B%255D%3D111234249&cjsku=VTM1080_111234249\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Wayfair\" retailers_4_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_4_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Vitamix-E310-Explorian-Professional-Grade-Container\/dp\/B07CVRZ1YJ?tag=tohmke-20\" retailers_4_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n\r\nThe E310 Vitamix<\/a> tops our list of the best Vitamix blenders on a budget. Our Test Kitchen used it to crush ice into a snow-cone consistency\u2014one of the ultimate assessments of a blender's capabilities. Due to its outstanding 1140 watts of power, it performed this task beautifully, along with emulsifying kale and heating roasted butternut squash into a soup. During our intensive testing evaluation, we were even more impressed.\r\n\r\nThis Vitamix features 10 different speed settings, which allows for greater experimentation and customization than other models. It can hold up to 48 ounces of liquids or solids. Its pulse feature and tamper allow you to liquefy lumpy, hearty ingredients like roasted carrots into a silky, smooth carrot ginger soup<\/a>. That said, most items blend smoothly without needing a tamper or scraping\u2014it's just that good.\r\n\r\nWhile we love most of its settings and features, our team notes that the lid is not user friendly due to the rubber tabs that must be clasped onto the side. Additionally, as with the other best Vitamix blenders on this list, the pitcher doesn't lock into place, so it can be knocked or lifted off at any point. However, it has all of Vitamix's best-known power and features yet comes reasonably priced. If you're going to get a Vitamix, you can't go wrong with this E310 model.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Splurge\" product_name=\"Vitamix Ascent X4\" pros=\"Compatible with hot ingredients\" pros1=\"Heavy-duty motor\" pros2=\"Cord management\" pros3=\"Performed well in smoothie test\" pros4=\"Nice preset functions\" pros5=\"Easy-to-use interface\" cons=\"No variable speed option\" cons1=\"Expensive\" image=\"2089431\" image_credit=\"EMIKO FRANZEN FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Vitamix\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vitamix.com%2Fus%2Fen_us%2Fshop%2Fascent-x4\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Vitamix\" retailers_2_name=\"Wayfair\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/click-9070496-13730087?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wayfair.com%2FVitamix%25C2%25AE--Vitamix-Ascent-X4-Blender-07-L811-K%7EW111840946.html%3F%26PiID%255B%255D%3D1674777646&cjsku=W111840946_1674777646\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Wayfair\" retailers_3_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Vitamix-Professional-Grade-Container-Self-Cleaning-Stainless\/dp\/B0D9ZVZWKX?tag=tohmke-20\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n\r\nThose seeking a blender that never backs down from a challenge will appreciate the crushing chops of the Vitamix Ascent X4<\/a>. Its automated smoothie setting, attractive digital screen and powerful 1500-watt motor make it a perfect choice for pureeing soups, producing smoothies or processing peanut butter. It's also available in several colors, including graphite, white, black stainless and brushed stainless.\r\n\r\nUnlike the other best Vitamix blenders on this list, this one doesn't feature a rubbery lid. Instead, it boasts a hard plastic top that easily slides on and off without the use of those pesky tabs. That said, the container still doesn't lock into place\u2014something the team found consistent across all of the tested models. The blender includes several additional presets, including smoothies, frozen desserts, soups, frozen cocktails, dips and spreads. There's also a pulsing mode that makes short work of ice cubes.\r\n\r\n[quote-card quote=\"Although expensive, you know you can count on Vitamix to be a long-lasting purchase. The motor is heavy-duty, so you can rest easy knowing you'll have this for a long time.\" name=\"sydney Manning\" title=\"Former product testing team member\" \/]\r\n\r\nOne of the things that makes the higher price point worth it is the generous 10-year warranty that comes alongside this model. Unlike the others on this list, this option also boasts a self-cleaning mode. Additionally, we like the digital interface. It's nice and intuitive; there's even a handy knob for scrolling through the programmed options. Those hunting for a blender with all the bells and whistles will certainly fall for this futuristic option.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[SINGLE_AFFILIATE_PRODUCT superlative=\"Best Handheld\" product_name=\"Vitamix Immersion Blender\" pros=\"Powerful motor\" pros1=\"Sturdy design\" pros2=\"Nice grip\" pros3=\"3-year warranty\" cons=\"Hand-wash only\" cons1=\"No accessories\" cons2=\"Pricey\" image=\"2089429\" image_credit=\"EMIKO FRANZEN FOR TASTE OF HOME\" pr_name=\"Vitamix\" pr_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vitamix.com%2Fus%2Fen_us%2Fshop%2F5-speed-immersion-blender\" pr_display_text=\"Shop on Vitamix\" retailers_2_name=\"Walmart\" retailers_2_url=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=131817X1598243&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.walmart.com%2Fip%2FVitamix-Immersion-Blender-Black%2F939329138\" retailers_2_display_text=\"Shop on Walmart\" retailers_3_name=\"Wayfair\" retailers_3_url=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-9070496-13730087?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wayfair.com%2FVitamix%25C2%25AE--Vitamix-%25C2%25AE-Hand-Immersion-Blender-67991-L811-K%7EVTM10035.html%3F%26PiID%255B%255D%3D110795822&cjsku=VTM10035_110795822\" retailers_3_display_text=\"Shop on Wayfair\" retailers_4_name=\"Amazon\" retailers_4_url=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Vitamix-Immersion-Blender-Stainless-inches\/dp\/B08DDJMBZM?tag=tohmke-20\" retailers_4_display_text=\"Shop on Amazon\" \/]\r\n\r\nTiny but mighty, this\u00a0Vitamix Immersion Blender<\/a> does not disappoint. Its motor has 625 watts, so it can<\/span>\u00a0whip up tasty foods like\u00a0cream cheese dip<\/a>, but it is not designed for making things like homemade almond flour. Its charm is in its convenience. Rather than dirtying a bulky blender, this Vitamix allows you to blend directly into your favorite cup. It also features five variable speed options and a four-pronged blade for smooth results.\r\n\r\n[quote-card quote=\"This machine feels nice in your hand and churns out a great finished product, whether you're making soup, whipped cream or salad dressing.\" name=\"annamarie higley\" title=\"former Product Testing Team Manager\" \/]\r\n\r\nOur product testing team was incredibly impressed with the performance of this option despite its lower price point and handheld nature, which sets it apart from other Vitamix options. It even stands out from other handheld blenders we tried, thanks to a comfortable rubber grip. Tester Dylan Fischer<\/a> notes, \"It should go without saying that you'll be getting a powerful motor with Vitamix, but we were so impressed with this one that it deserves to be called out again.\"\r\n\r\nThanks to the power level bars located on top of the motor handle, it's user friendly enough for almost anyone. A slower start that gently ramps up also prevents too much splashing. This 9.75-inch, compact model will easily store in a kitchen drawer, so if you're tight on space and don't want to spend big bucks, this Vitamix immersion blender<\/a> is a great place to start.\r\n\r\n
