Vitamix A3500

The Vitamix A3500 is outstanding for multi-purpose use. It doesn't have any trouble with hard food like nuts, makes incredibly smooth blends with fibrous ingredients, and can process ice into a snow-like consistency very quickly. It can also hot blend and offers a wide range of speed settings to suit different recipes. This blender is easy to clean, and the jar and lid are dishwasher-safe.

The Vitamix A3500 will blend almost anything you throw at it, it excels at larger quantities but struggled when we tried a very small mayo recipe and it didn’t have the finesse to produce evenly chopped nuts. That said if you’re looking for serious blending power and a strong and sturdy machine, look no further, it can crush ice in the blink of an eye and produces silky smooth smoothies. But it’s a big, heavy blender with an expensive price tag.
