Vitamix’s Black Friday Sale Is On and Includes Huge Discounts on Their Most Popular Blenders
There are several high-end items you should consider splurging on to make your kitchen more functional (and enjoyable to spend time in). Some are particular to your own needs: A quality coffee maker is a must for those of us that need some daily caffeine, and so is a stand mixer if you bake regularly. However, some splurge-worthy products are universal, and one of those is unquestionably a blender. Besides the obvious perk of making the perfect smoothie, blenders can grind down ingredients, make fluffy scrambled eggs, and produce soups that are the perfect consistency — and the options don’t end there.
A blender that checks all of the boxes in terms of power, speed, and size will be a game-changer in the kitchen, and with how many tasks it can accomplish, it’s worth investing in a pricier option. Still, if you’re strategic, you don’t always have to pay full price. Kitchn Essentials List-making retailer Vitamix has slashed their prices by up to $125 during their annual holiday sale, and we’ve got you covered with all of the sale items you can’t miss. Treat yourself!
KT Vitamix Sept 2023 Sale
This well-reviewed blender features a 64-ounce container that whips up large batches, but it still fits in a cabinet easily. It’s built with a 2.2 HP motor, which is the brand’s most powerful, so it can tackle anything you toss in it. There’s even a pulse feature to layer coarser chops over purées.
If you or someone in the family has an allergy, this A3500 bundle is for you. It comes with a 48-ounce colored container that makes keeping ingredients separate a breeze. When we tested the Ascent series blender, we discovered that it “make[s] for quicker and silkier blends” and “prevents overheating … jamming, clogging, overuse of energy, and the need to start and stop your blends just to scrape down the sides or shake the vessel.”
This version of the Ascent blender is constructed with stainless steel, so it can handle steaming hot or ice cold ingredients, and you can be extra sure that it’ll hold up without obtaining any scratches or stains.
The immersion blender is a lifesaver for small kitchens with limited counter space. “It clicks on super smoothly,” says former executive lifestyle director Lisa Freedman in her review. “And it’s impressively quiet — even when blending up frozen fruit for smoothies. In tests, I’ve found that it can blend up a pot of silky-smooth soups in less than 40 seconds.”
We loved the Explorian series when we put it to the test and think it’s an especially great model if you only intend to use it for the basics — it's ideal for producing medium batches for a small number of people.
Composting will have never been easier once you add this nifty device to your kitchen. With a perfect 5-star rating, the Eco 5 FoodCycler turns up to 5 liters of food scraps at a time into a dry powdered plant food. "That same power and efficiency that I love about my blender translates quite well to the grinding and processing of food waste," says contributor Kristina Vänni about the FC-50 version.
This set covers all of your meal prep needs — it includes the standard 64-ounce container for producing medium to large batches, as well as a Self-Detect Base, 12-cup work bowl, two food pushers, and two reversible slice and shred discs for food processing.
