If you’re willing to shell out more cash for a blender that’s built to last, and can perform a whole host of duties beyond what’s typical of blender, we’d go for the higher end Vitamix Explorian or, better yet, the A200. Overall, if you’re looking for an inexpensive non-high-powered blender, I’d opt for something cheaper, like the KitchenAid blender we recommend in our blender review. And the design and finish quality don’t offer more luxury than what you’d get from an inexpensive blender, either. Until this past summer, when the company released its most inexpensive model to date, the. However, it’s also two to three times the price of those blenders-and it still doesn’t perform to the standard we’ve come to expect from Vitamix. Vitamix blenders run from around 350 to upwards of a thousand dollars depending on the model. It produces a velvety-smooth blend-in less time than other non high-powered blenders. Overall, this blender performs ahead of the curve if you’re not comparing it to $400 or $500 models. In order to really crush fruit with little to no liquid, I find that you need to use the food processor attachment, which is currently not available for this model. That said, I’ve had trouble with this in the other Vitamix models as well. It didn’t do well, and would only blend when enough almond milk was added to the frozen strawberries and mango that the consistency could no longer hold up to smoothie bowl standards. Controls: The touchscreen can be a bit temperamental at times. I also attempted blending frozen fruit with virtually no liquid in this blender, to make an extremely thick smoothie bowl. Price: The 719 price tag makes this Vitamixs most expensive household model ever.
I also made a particularly creamy, delightfully smooth-textured batch of butternut squash soup in the Vitamix One. My Zwilling mini blender blended the smoothie in the same 20 second time window, however, the result was noticeably less smooth and creamy in texture. However, the larger containers would often require scraping down flung-up pieces of kale, which wasn’t necessary here. When I tested higher-powered Vitamix models, I found that this particular smoothie usually takes 10 to 12 seconds when there’s more horsepower involved. It blended this in about 20 seconds, without needing to be scraped down.
I made the smoothie Epicurious always tries when testing blenders, consisting of a tough-to-crush combo of kale, whole almonds, medjool dates, orange, and banana.
It made creamy smoothies, velvety puréed soups, and a smooth batch of Frozen Rosalitas. And my tests found that the Vitamix One is a high-functioning blender. With just the one dial on front, the Vitamix One is ridiculously easy to use and set up out of the box.
