It also blasted through frozen strawberries effortlessly to make a delicious, evenly processed daiquiri. We blended kale smoothies in all three jars, and all were uniformly smooth with no flecks. It features an “extract” button that blends smoothies at pre-programmed variable speeds. Both cups have lids that make it easy to take your smoothie to-go. It includes a 64-ounce pitcher for large batches and two different personal-sized cups (32 ounces and 24 ounces with a handle). 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 we also recommend the Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender that retails around $300. 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. Self-detect containers don't just come in personal size, but also a food processor attachment, new 48-ounce color containers, stainless steel container and more. 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. Besides its performance, noteworthy features include a touch interface, five program settings, programmable timer, variable speed and pulse.

A 2021 Kitchen Gear Award Winner, this was best-tested when we tested eight Vitamix blenders side-by-side and also came on top when tested against 25 other blender models.
