We tried increasing the speed, and the vortex lifted the eggs up but again failed to beat them. But the eggs could not be tightly contained in the Vitamix’s wide blender jar, so they just whizzed around underneath the blades. For the sauce to emulsify, the eggs needed to be beaten for 30 seconds. The only test that the Vitamix failed was the Hollandaise. When we added more peanuts on our second attempt, the Vitamix achieved peanut butter in about two minutes. As we noted earlier, the width of the blender jar for this particular model necessitated our using a minimum of four cups of nuts otherwise, the finely ground peanuts got lodged beneath the blades. Making peanut butter was a little less stress-free. The tomato-basil soup we made in the Vitamix exploded with fresh tomato and herbal flavor, and although it was composed entirely of vegetables, the Vitamix blended it into a frothy emulsion that tasted creamy.
See Price at Īs we noted above, the soup function is a wonder, if you enjoy hot soup on a cold day, you can have it freshly made and piping hot in under six minutes. Its five programmed functions, laser-cut stainless steel blades and contoured blender jar make the best fruit and green smoothies. Vitamix processed it all without a struggle, and gave us a smoothie that was like a super-refined juice. Because of Vitamix’s marketing videos depict whole fruits and vegetables being processed, we threw in whole kale leaves, an entire apple - without coring or seeding - and un-cut stalks of celery. Vitamix doesn’t have a separate cycle for green smoothies, but no matter, it worked exactly the same, and our green smoothie was silky with no sediment. We strained the smoothie, and no seed bits were left behind. The ground seeds had texture but not graininess. No other blender we tested could beat Vitamix’s ability to grind the raspberry seeds in the fruit smoothie.
We were hypnotized by the cyclonic blur of the Vitamix’s vortex as the smoothies were blended. The cycle then speeds up to its highest level and processes the ingredients in 40 seconds. The cycle begins at the mid-speed, level 5, for ten seconds, during which it draws down the ice to the blades and pulverizes it to powder. Vitamix has a pre-set function for smoothies timed at a mere 50 seconds. So why is Vitamix so good? Let’s start with the smoothies since they will most likely be a major consideration if you’re thinking about buying one. Subsequently, we were a bit more stringent in testing Vitamix, but, except for one test, this powerhouse blender completely won us over. There’s so much hype around it, and the product demonstrations at stores can be overbearing. Initially, we were a bit suspicious of Vitamix.
The Vitamix’s powerful 1500-watt motor crushes ice cubes into powdery snow in seconds, purees and heats vegetables to hot soup in minutes, and pulverizes entire fruits - seeds, core, and fruit skins - and sturdy kale and other hearty greens into silky smoothies with no sediment. In the ongoing marketing battle between the most expensive blenders, Vitamix and Blendtec, Vitamix – A3500 wins hands down. Best mid-range blender: Cuisinart – CBT-2000
