FAQs

What is the downside to Vitamix? ›

Vitamix blenders are known for their powerful performance in breaking down tough ingredients with ease and their high-quality construction. These models are also long-lasting and easy to use. The main downsides of these blenders are that they can be expensive, heavy, and harder to clean than more compact options.

Vitamix machines should last up to ten years with proper care. They don't come with a lifetime warranty, so following care instructions is essential. Can you use a Vitamix as a food processor? Vitamix blenders can perform food processor functions like blending and chopping but can't slice or do more controlled tasks.

Full Container Blending

Vitamix blenders are powerful enough to pulverize a full container of ingredients. Then, when they start to blend down, you can add even more through the lid plug opening while the machine is running.

The bottom line

A general rule of thumb? If you're making something you can drink, drizzle, or dip, use a blender. If you're making something that requires utensils to enjoy, you probably need to use a food processor.

The motors in their blenders are much larger than anything found in a box-store blender. Cheaper blenders will use plastic gears and lower-quality plastic jars that can break down much more quickly over time, which means you'll be replacing your blender more often.

The machine stopped because its thermal protector sensed that the machine was about to overheat. Turn the power switch off for up to 45 minutes, allowing the machine to cool down or reset. Reset time will be extended if high room temperatures exist.

Does Vitamix really clean itself? ›

A Vitamix can clean itself… literally. After blending a smoothie, soup or other delicious recipe, simply add some warm water, a drop of dish soap and let the high-powered motor do the rest. Some models, such as the Ascent series, even have a self-cleaning program that automates the process.

In the event that you need service or repair, please call Vitamix Customer Service at 1.800. 848.2649 or 1.440. 235.4840. You will be asked to provide a date of purchase and proof of purchase for any blender that has not been registered with Vitamix.

Vitamix is the brand used by your faves Starbucks and Smoothie King while Jamba Juice is team Blendtec.

Vitamix products are engineered and assembled in the USA.

Nutribullet full-size blenders offer three simple blending speeds. Whereas Vitamix blenders offer around 10 blending speeds. So with a Vitamix blender there's more scope to fine tune the degree to which something gets blitzed.

Opting to blend ensures you keep all the goodness of the produce in your smoothie, virtually eliminating waste. When you juice, you increase food waste as you end up throwing out the pulp. And because you can't separate all the juice from the pulp, you're also wasting some fresh, nutrient-rich juice.
