Start a culinary revolution on your countertop with this commercial-quality blender, prized by chefs for decades. The Vitamix® does it all: makes smoothies and cocktails, frozen desserts, nut butters and hot soups from raw ingredients in just a few minutes. A 2 peak horsepower motor propels the laser-cut stainless-steel ice-crushing blades up to 240 MPH, blending raw ingredients while retaining the vitamins, minerals and enzymes – even the nutritious seeds and rinds of produce. Three pre-programmed settings plus variable speed control and pulse function offer maximum blending flexibility and creativity. BPA-free container creates a powerful vortex to promote thorough blending, with the help of a patented tamper for use with ice and denser ingredients. Spill-proof lid with removable cap allows for tamping and addition of ingredients during blending. Pre-programming feature includes an indicator light that alerts you when the blend cycle is coming to an end. Vitamix® 500 Professional Blender. 64 oz. 8.75"Wx7.25"Dx20"H
