Vitamixes are the Ferrari of blenders, capable of speeds and power that sub-$100 appliances just can’t match, but their price point reflects it. Their Propel Series 510 blender typically costs just under $500, but it’s on sale for 42% off its regular price, its lowest price of the year on Amazon.
Down from $479.95 to $279.95, this is the lowest price this Vitamix has reached all year on Amazon just in time for holiday gifting and gathering, both of which demand an engine that can purr. SPY Editors have tested a range of blenders and Vitamix appliances function on another level, pulverizing frozen fruit and mixing together liquids and powders faster and more efficiently than any other brand.
The 510’s 48-ounce container comes with stainless steel blades powered by 10 variable speeds and three pre-programmed settings including Smoothie, Hot Soup, and Frozen Dessert. Each is tailored to a different consistency and texture, and the Pulse feature helps this device double as a food processor at the same time.
The friction of the blades not only helps chop up vegetable seeds and skins but also cools chunky chilis to room temperature while thinning out the texture, making this a huge time saver for hostesses rushing to get the first-course bisque on the table.
Amazon reviewers praise the 510 for its compact size, self-cleaning function (just add a drop of soap into the water and turn on the clean cycle), dishwasher compatibility, and how quiet it is compared to other blenders.
This steeply-discounted, top-tier device is still a splurge, but you’re unlikely to get a device this powerful at this price.
