Shopping holiday sales can be overwhelming, especially when Black Friday deals start rolling in. With hundreds—Nay, thousands! Millions!—of discounts to sift through, it’s hard to know what’s actually a great find. Here at Serious Eats, we’ve found a better way to shop the sales: We look for products we’ve rigorously tested and recommend. So this Black Friday-Cyber Monday weekend, I’ve got my eyes on some unbeatable Vitamix deals.

Vitamix blenders don’t go for cheap, and they’re rarely on sale for hundreds of dollars. But they’re incredibly well-made, and after testing almost every Vitamix model, we know them inside and out. Here are the best Vitamix Black Friday deals this year, including our favorite blender ever.

The Best Vitamix Deals, at a Glance

  • Vitamix 5200 Professional Grade Blender

    Amazon

    We’ve been saying it for ten years, and we’ll say it again: This is the best blender for most people, and it’s the one we use in the Serious Eats test kitchen. Its tall, tapered jar creates a vortex with ingredients, which results in better-blended, super creamy, perfectly emulsified sauces, soups, and smoothies. There are 10 speeds, which we’ve found to be the most helpful for thoroughly blended ingredients (start slowly and work your way up!). The TL;DR of it all? If you want a great blender and don’t care about flashy features, you’ll fall head-over-heels for the 5200.

  • Vitamix Professional Series 750

    Amazon

    Curious about the 5200 but still want some preprogrammed settings? The Vitamix 750 is a great mix of analog controls and presets (smoothie, frozen dessert, soup, purée, and self-clean). It also has the same 10-speed levels as the 5200, with a lower-profile jar that fits nicely under countertops. This blender typically retails for $630, but for this weekend, you can snag it for a staggering $400.

  • Vitamix Ascent X3 Blender

    Amazon Vitamix Ascent X3 Blender

    Amazon

    The Vitamix Ascent X series is the brand’s most techy lineup. The X3 has a sleek, “keep it on the counter” aesthetic and comes in black or white finishes. It has four presets, including self-clean, variable speed, and pulse options. To make the most out of any Ascent X blender, grab a self-detect container: The blender base automatically adjusts its settings and features based on the blender or food processor jar you’re using. I’ve been testing an X series blender (the review is coming later this year!), and I’ve been seriously impressed by the smart features. It’s on sale for $150 off—a rare drop in price for the brand’s premium line.

  • Vitamix Ascent Series A3300 SmartPrep Kitchen System

    Vitamix A3300 Ascent Blender

    Amazon

    For a long time, blenders and food processors existed within two different worlds. You needed both, and neither was easy to store in a cabinet. The A3300 Kitchen System marries the two crucial appliances with its smart base. It works with the brand’s blender jars and food processor container, and you can swap them out at the snap of your fingers. This is an incredible gift option for a cook who’s just starting out or building a kitchen from scratch, and right now, it’s over 25% off.

  • Vitamix 12-Cup Food Processor Attachment with Self-Detect Bundle

    Vitamix 12-Cup Food Processor Attachment

    Amazon

    Already have a Vitamix Ascent blender? Feast your eyes on the brand’s food processor attachment. It works with all Ascent bases (like the A3300 and the A3500) and comes with additional slicing and grating discs. When we tested the food processor attachment, we were impressed with its emulsifying capabilities—it makes incredible mayonnaise—and the easy-on, easy-off discs. The $50 Black Friday discount makes this an even better buy for cooks who already own a compatible Vitamix blender.

  • A Petite Blender for Smoothie Lovers: Explorian Seris E310 with Personal Cup Adapter

    Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender

    Amazon

    There’s a reason every one of our blender reviews includes a smoothie test. If they can’t blitz greens and frozen berries into a smooth, luscious drink, we don’t want it. The Explorian Series is an excellent option for smoothie drinkers because it comes with a personal blending cup—no need to dirty the big jar. It’s a little less powerful than some of our other faves, but it holds its own. Plus, its price is already reduced to $399 for Black Friday.

  • The Best Immersion Blender with a Pan Guard: Vitamix Immersion Blender

    Vitamix Immersion Blender

    Williams Sonoma

    Yep, Vitamix makes immersion blenders, too. When we reviewed them, we were blown away (blended away?) by their ability to turn fibrous celery into a silky-smooth soup. The powerful blades are tipped in plastic, which means you can use the blender directly in your favorite cookware without fear of scratching. It’s biggest selling point? This immersion blender can handle a whole pot of soup at its highest power, so you don’t need to blend in batches.

The fact is, any of these Vitamix products are smart buys, no matter the price. But Black Friday deals make a good investment even better, so our team will be keeping an eye on the sales all weekend long. Check back here to see if prices drop, but don’t wait too long to check out. Vitamix products rarely go on sale, so they’re sure to move quickly.

FAQs

Not frequently. Vitamix blenders tend to only go on sale during big events, like Black Friday (that’s now!), Cyber Monday, and Prime Day.
