What I’d email a friend wanting to know about the Vitamix Immersion Blender

By Blending For Good’s Co-Founder, Lenny Gale

If you want a built-to-last, professional grade immersion blender for soups, batters, and even smoothies and shakes, consider the Vitamix Immersion Blender. It’s not going to change your life like a full-size Vitamix will, but you’ll be thrilled having it as part of your kitchen tool arsenal.

The downsides are practically zero. Just that it cannot do certain Vitamix-specific tasks like heat ingredients and power through frozen ingredients to make ice cream.

The upshot is that if you’ve ever had an immersion blender, this will be the best one you’ve ever owned.

What can the Immersion Blender make? The Immersion blender can make smoothies, shakes, sauces, and batters.

Who the Immersion Blender may be for…

Smoothie and Shake Enthusiasts (with limited space) Perfect for those who want nutritious blends without dedicating counter space to a full-size blender. Quick cleanup makes morning smoothies hassle-free.

Home Chefs For cooks who want professional-level control when making soups, sauces, and purées right in the cooking pot. Ideal for creating restaurant-quality textures at home.

Single-Recipe Specialists Whether it’s weekend crepes for the kids, homemade mayo for sandwiches, or that perfect butternut squash soup, this is perfect for home cooks who have their signature dishes down to a science and want reliable results every time.

Single-Recipe Specialists Ideal for those who cook for 1-4 people and want the flexibility to blend smaller portions directly in serving containers.

Who It May Not Be For

• Bulk Meal Preppers: If you regularly blend large batches of food (over 4 servings), a traditional countertop blender might better suit your needs
• Multi-Attachment Seekers: Those wanting a single appliance that can handle food processing, chopping, and whipping might prefer an all-in-one system
• Heavy Smoothie Bowl Makers: If you regularly blend frozen fruits and ice for thick smoothie bowls, a more powerful countertop blender might be better suited

“Perfect for my small kitchen”

★★★★★ I make morning smoothies directly in my Mason jar and blend hot soup right in the pot. The 5-foot cord means I can reach anywhere on my counter. Super easy to clean – just run the thing in cup of soapy water.

“Secret weapon”

★★★★★ As a weekend crepe maker, this is my favorite thing in the kitchen. I feel like I’m wielding a magic wand for special breakfast miracles.

“Night and day”

★★★★★ After burning through three cheap immersion blenders, I finally invested in this one. The difference is night and day

“Frustrated about the plastic bell”

★★★ I know it works well and that it’s designed to not scratch up my appliances, nut I wish this was a plastic-free tool.
