Vitamix Propel Series 750 Blender, Professional-Grade, 4 Blending Programs + Self-Cleaning Program, 64-oz Low Profile Container, Black

This version I got to pick out. Love all the features that have been added since I bought my first vitamix. Not to mention I can use my older pitchers with this much quieter model. Blends my smoothies perfectly.

I debated this purchase for a very long time. I have a Ninja I love. I finally decided to get the Vitamix and I will say it has been worth the "hype" so far. First let me say it is louder than the Ninja, that does not bother me as long as it works well and works well it does. I drink a lot of smoothies and I am very pleased with just how smooth and well mixed they are. The size is great, it fits under my counter well. The best part is the cleaning cycle. No more removing blades and washing and each part, I just rinse it off, fill halfway with water, a drop of dish soap and in thirty seconds its finished, rinse, let it dry, done. I am glad a went ta little higher in the price and got the preset functions, its just easy to set and let it go. There is a weird burning small at first but the book does actually explain that will wear off and it has. Considering the price did make me cringe, I feel like it may just be worth it.

Started off having trouble with air pockets and what I assume to be thermal shutdowns. I did RTFM and I was putting the ingredients in with soft stuff (yogurt, banana, avocado) first but it's like it wasn't blending anything but the lower pitcher. Tried different speeds and the smoothie setting and all I was making was noise. Called Vitamix and got to a rep quickly. She said to add all ingredients, use the smoothie setting and when it ramps up use the "tamper" to press the spinach and kale down into the blend. Sure enough that did the trick. After using that process I got the "vortex" in the pitcher and a perfectly blended smoothie.

I couldn't be happier... I love my blender so far!

Super noisy but the worst part is the lid doesn’t fit right. Should have returned it immediately but it took over a month before I received. I wanted the red one so bought it when all colors were on sale. By the time I received it they were no longer on sale and needed it due to our large family coming for Christmas. I had to use it and just hold the lid down by hand. I was told that it took so long for my order because no warehouse in my area had red in stock. Dumb move on my part. Saying all that it is powerful but it’s also terrible at smoothies because it goes into faster speeds too quickly which causes an air bubble and it doesn’t blend anything. It’s crazy little plastic piece of junk is messy and doesn’t work for smoothies. The non fitting lid has the advantage here because I have to keep stopping the blender, taking the lid off and stirring the mixture with a spoon. I spent a lot of money just to be annoyed by my “pretty red” blender. It is pretty!

Best all around option if you need a blender and more. Nothing else measures up, certainly not a Ninja. Spend the money and get the best value proposition if you want a blender and more.

This can blend anything. Probably can blend rocks tbh.

It was probably a decade ago that I first heard about Vitamix from a coworker. He bought one for his wife for Xmas. After some research, I determined it was WAYYYY out of my budget.Many years later, older, and more health-conscious, I started making smoothies with a NutriBullet. It’s super-compact but struggled with blending frozen fruit and ice. The ingredients will get stuck, and the engine struggled.I’ve even had a Breville blender which was still $200 and didn’t do much better of a job. Finally, I took the leap and purchased one when I caught news it was on sale. Finally, I can afford it.Okay, let’s see what all the hype is about. I really liked how there were presets for each type of blending with preset variable speed cycles and timer. Don’t forget the proper layering of smoothie ingredients - the different cycling in the program. The cycle starts off slow to mix the liquid and greens. Once the bed of greens liquifies, the rest of the ingredients sink down into the blade. Once the blade reaches the frozen ingredients, the engine revs up and cuts through everything. You can feel the strength of the motor because anything lightweight behind the blender is sent flying. Even the chia seeds got obliterated.It is overall the perfect kitchen appliance - engineering at its finest. Did you ever wonder why the pitchers are so narrow and tall - making it difficult to store on the countertop under most kitchen cabinets. The reason behind this befuddling feature is that with a narrow pitcher, the ingredients will come into contact with the blade more. The type of plastic the pitcher was made of dries super-fast. I LOVE that. Ditto for the lid. The lid has a dome shape. Not certain of the purpose. The material rinses very very well and easily. Overall, I am ecstatic with my purchase. One thing of note is ALWAYS peel your produce. I got lazy one day and did not peel the apple skin. The Vitamix really struggled. I had to run the smoothie program twice. I’m afraid it would be bad for the blender. With the high price tag, I must treat this appliance carefully.I’ve noticed the feet on the blender left gray smudges on the white countertop. I started using a mat underneath to protect my counters.
