This well-priced and high-powered blender comes with three (!) jars, making it super versatile and our pick for the best value. RELATED: Battle of the Blenders: Ninja vs.

This model produced margaritas and peanut butter that was just as tasty as the A3500 Ascent Series Smart Blender. If a $500+ blender isn't in your budget right now or you prefer a smaller model, we also recommend the compact Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender. Throw in a 10-year warranty and you've got extra security that you will get years of great use out of this blender. But the overall results are unmatched by the other models we tested. This blender was loud while grinding tough ingredients and the self-cleaning function with soap and water wasn't a complete match for sticky nut butter. Overall we were very impressed with this blender's ability to break down even the toughest of ingredients. Milkshakes were creamy, frothy and had great body homemade peanut butter was silky smooth without any peanut chunks remaining and margaritas were restaurant-quality with a super fluffy consistency. In our tests, this model produced the best-tasting kale and strawberry smoothie that completely went through a sieve without any flecks of kale or pieces of strawberry remaining.


This blender also pairs with all of Vitamix's self-detect containers which will recognize the cup and automatically adjust blend settings for its size. A 2021 Kitchen Gear Award Winner, this was best-tested when we tested eight Vitamix blenders side-by-side, but it also features a touch interface, five program settings, programmable timer, variable speed and pulse.
