He's got the power! The Vitamix high-performance blenders are our number 1

Perfect consistency with the Vitamix high-performance blender

High-performance blenders differ from conventional appliances in terms of their power. The wattage is usually over 1,000 watts and therefore significantly exceeds the power of normal blenders (200 to 500 watts). The number of revolutions per minute is also regularly higher at up to 40,000 - for fine and creamy consistencies. These features make these high-performance appliances the ideal kitchen helper when it comes to grinding, chopping, blending or pureeing food with perfect results. With at least 1,600 watts (2.2 hp), the blenders in the Ascent series from Vitamix have a powerful motor that processes even hard ice cubes into crushed ice. With ten speed settings, the Vitamix ASCENT A2500i model, for example, is an all-rounder when it comes to processing. This allows different consistencies to be prepared: from chunky tomato salsa and chopped vegetables to creamy pesto, a smooth nut cream and, of course, a fibre-free smoothie.

Additional functions increase the convenience of the powerful appliances

If, in addition to perfect results, you also value particularly convenient handling, pay attention to the features and functions when buying a high-performance blender. These vary depending on the provider and model. Non-slip feet give the appliances the necessary stability, the number of blades and speed levels influence the quality of the consistencies and, depending on the size of the blender jug, different quantities can be prepared in a single pass. An integrated touchscreen as a control element, pre-installed automatic programmes or an ice crush function, for example, provide extra convenience. The Vitamix Ascent A3500i is one of the particularly innovative high-performance blenders. It has five automatic programmes for smoothies, ice cream and soups, among other things. It is also equipped with Self-Detect technology, which allows the appliance to automatically recognise the container. This allows the appliance to adapt the automatic programmes to the respective container and only starts when it is placed correctly. Containers and cutting blades can be exchanged within the ASCENT series as required.
