If you've been flirting with the idea of purchasing a Vitamix but have been waiting for a worthwhile sale, now is the time. Black Friday is without a doubt the best time to buy these much-loved but not so cheap appliances, but you have to strike while the iron is hot.
For those who aren't familiar: Vitamix makes some of the greatest blenders on the market. They have dominated our best blenders list for years because they're powerful, quick, and efficient. They have heavy-duty blades and motors that easily crush ice, cut through fibrous vegetables, and blend creamy smoothies, hot soups, and nut butters with ease.
From November 25 through December 1, the brand is offering up to $220 off of some of its most popular models from the Legacy, Ascent, Propel, and Explorian lines. The brand is also offering discounts on various Vitamix kitchen systems (a blender/food processor combo), bundles, and immersion blenders.

Our favorite model: Vitamix 5200
A favorite of customers and BA editors alike, the iconic Vitamix 5200 is one of the best blenders we’ve ever tested. It reliably turns out velvety soups and delicious smoothies, and pulverizes ingredients like tough greens and whole almonds with ease. Available in three colors, the 5200 has a 2-horsepower motor and user-friendly control panel with an on/off switch, a 10-speed dial, and a switch that lets you blend on high. The self-cleaning blender comes with a BPA-free plastic 64-oz. jar and a 48-oz. stainless-steel container that’s dishwasher-safe and resistant to odors, stains, and scratches. Grab this set while it’s $150 off.
State of the art upgrade: Vitamix Ascent X5
Part of Vitamix’s premium blender series, the Ascent X5 boasts a 2.2-peak horsepower motor, 48-oz. container, an interface with 10 preset blending programs, and special features like a tamping alert and a button that instantly adds 15 seconds of blend time. In our tests, the X5 excelled at making smoothie bowls, frozen cocktails, and grit-free almond milk. It swiftly ground spices down to a perfect powder and produced a nut butter worthy of a spot on a grocery store shelf. “If you want to make nut butters or alt milks regularly, if you love creamy frozen margaritas and Starbucks-worthy frozen coffees, or you’re a fan of grinding whole spices on the regular, this will be a great blender for you,” said our tester. The Vitamix Ascent X5 is currently $150 off for Black Friday.
Why it's great
If you thought the Ascent X5 couldn’t get any better, think again. The Smart Kitchen System gives the powerful blender a major upgrade thanks to this bundle that turns it into a large-capacity food processor. Vitamix’s 12-Cup Food Processor Attachment includes a multi-use blade for chopping, mincing, and kneading dough; a small disk for fine shredding and thin slicing; and a large disk for coarser shredding and thick slicing. The time-saving accessory is also a space-saver, with nesting and stackable parts for easy storage.
Why it's great
Like the X5, the Vitamix Ascent X3 is a high-tech blender with a touchscreen control panel, preset blending programs (smoothies, frozen desserts, and soups), and special features like a programmable timer that automatically turns the machine off once it’s finished its job. A whopping $220 off for Black Friday, the X3 comes in black and white, includes a tamper and tamper holder, and has a self-cleaning program that makes cleaning the 48-ounce plastic container effortless.
The (very good) budget pick : Vitamix Explorian E310
Vitamix’s more wallet-friendly Explorian series doesn’t have bells or whistles, but it also doesn’t need them. Vitamix's basic blenders hold their own against lots of other brands' pricier models, even without fancy features like preprogrammed settings and sensor technology. The Vitamix Explorian E310, which has a 2-horsepower motor, keeps things simple with just an on/off switch, a pulse switch, and a 10-speed manual control knob. Available in three colors, the blender has a 48-ounce capacity that makes it perfect for medium-batch meal prepping.
Why it's great
Bundle up this holiday season with this Vitamix set that includes the classic Explorian E310 blender, a personal cup adapter, and two 20-ounce blending cups that are ideal for tackling smaller jobs as well as making juices, shakes, and smoothies. Just toss in your favorite ingredients, blend until combined, then twist on the included flip-top lid and take your sip on the go.
For a little more power: Vitamix Propel 510
A step up from the Explorian E310, the Vitamix Propel 510 houses a 2-horsepower motor and comes with three preset blending programs: smoothies, frozen desserts, and hot soups. It also has on-off and pulse switches, plus a 10-speed manual control knob. Currently $200 off, the Propel 510 includes a 48-oz. container and features a compact design that anyone with a small kitchen will appreciate.
Why it's great
What does the Propel 750 have that the 510 doesn’t have? More horsepower (2.2 versus 2.0), and two additional presets (self-cleaning and dips & spreads), for starters. And thanks to this bundle, which is $200 off for Black Friday, you also get an extra blending jar: both the standard 48-ounce size, plus a larger, 64-oz. container.
A compact alternative: Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion Blender
There’s a lot to love about Vitamix’s 5-Speed Immersion Blender. It’s quiet, has a 625-watt motor that can power through tough greens and frozen fruit, and can run continuously for three minutes straight. Best of all, it can be purchased as a bundle that includes a whisk attachment, blending jar with lid, and a mini chopper. In other words, this powerful handheld kitchen tool can replace a full-size blender, hand mixer, and food processor, freeing up valuable counter and cabinet space.
