If you were playing a word association game with the word “Vitamix,” three answers would likely come to mind: blender, powerful, and expensive. While you’d be correct on all three counts, calling a Vitamix a blender is a bit like calling an air fryer something that just reheats leftover fries — it doesn’t capture the full picture.
If the price has been keeping you from experiencing the joy that is owning a Vitamix, we have good news. As of Oct. 11, the Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series Smart Blender is on sale for $524.95 at Amazon.

We understand that over $500 can still feel quite steep for a blender, so we’re going to break down what makes this Vitamix special. Vitamixes in general are known for their high-speeds and power that allow you to not only make drinks, but also dips, frozen treats, nut butters, and even fully-heated soups (that’s without the assistance of a stove). This model in particular comes with presets for these concoctions (and the self-clean mode) on its touchscreen interface.
Here’s where it really justifies its price though — this is a smart blender. For one, that means that the base reads the container sizes and adjusts the program settings and blend time accordingly (though additional containers from the 64-oz one are sold separately). That blend time also shows up on the touchscreen and will shut off as soon as its done to avoid over-blending. As with any good smart product, you can connect the A3500 to an app, where you can access 17 more programs and over 500 recipes to try out. Basically, there’s a lot you can make with just this one blender.
This Vitamix definitely is not for the casual user, but if you’re in the market for a blender that goes beyond — well, there’s a reason this was our pick for the best smart blender of 2021. Check it out at Amazon while it’s on sale for a limited time only.
