Shopping holiday sales can be overwhelming, especially when Cyber Monday has 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 Cyber Monday, I’ve got my eyes on some unbeatable Vitamix deals that you don't want to sleep on.
Vitamix blenders don’t go for cheap, and they’re rarely discounted by hundreds of dollars. But they’re incredibly well-made, and after testing almost every Vitamix model, I know them inside and out. I think every cook should own one, so I've done the research on what's worth buying on sale. Here are the best Vitamix Cyber Monday deals this year, including a blender we've recommended for over a decade.

The Best Blender for Most People: 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, and 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 nearly-$200-off 5200.

A Classic, Powerful Vitamix: Vitamix Propel Series 750 Blender
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, pulse, 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 this week, you can snag it for a staggering $370. (That's over 40% off!)

40% Off a Vitamix with Presets: Vitamix Propel 510 Blender
Amazon
Can't decide between a basic blender or one with lots of good presets? Get this blender! It has the same toggle switches as the 5200, but the speed dial includes three handy presets for smoothies, hot soup, and frozen desserts. Its original price of $500 is very fair, so I would leap on this limited-time $200-off deal!

The Best Vitamix for Shoppers on a Budget: Vitamix Explorian E310 Blender
Amazon
This is the Vitamix blender I recommend to my friends and family who don't want to spend a ton, but aren't willing to sacrifice in quality. The Explorian E310 doesn't have presets—just those 10 powerful speeds and a pulse option that's fantastic for crushing ice. It's a really great blender that I wish more people knew about—and you can knock $80 off the price through the rest of Cyber Monday.
Serious Eats
Vitamix Ascent X3 Blender
Amazon
The Vitamix Ascent X series is the brand’s newest lineup. The X3 has a sleek, “keep it on the counter” aesthetic and comes in black or white finishes. It has four presets, including smoothie and hot soup, and its self-clean feature works really well. Like all of the X Series blenders, it's compatible with Vitamix's food processor attachment. You're going to love the tamper holder. The X3 is on sale for $250 off—a rare drop in price for the brand’s premium line.

Vitamix's Techiest Blender: Vitamix Ascent X5 Blender
Vitamix
This is the blender I own, and I wish everyone could try it. It has such cool, tech-forward features like a digital icon that prompts you to use the tamper (such as when you're making a smoothie with hard, frozen fruit.). In addition to the obligatory Vitamix 10 speeds, the X5 has 10 presets that essentially make it a non-sentient sous chef. You can use this baby to cook soup, make nut butter and non-dairy milk, and even grind your own spice blends. I rarely see it go on sale, so I encourage you to take advantage of this 20% discount!

An Outrageously Powerful Immersion Blender: Vitamix Immersion Blender 3-Piece Set
Williams Sonoma
This is one of the most powerful immersion blenders we've tested. It has a takes-no-prisoners motor and sharp blades that turned celery into a smooth purée, but the best part was its plastic pan guard. This clever feature keeps the metal blades away from the pan's surface, so you can use it on all kinds of cookware, including ceramic and enameled cast iron. With this Cyber Monday deal, you'll also get the whisk attachment and a storage case, all while knocking $70 off the price.
Serious Eats
The fact is, any of these Vitamix products are smart buys, no matter the price. But these Cyber Monday deals make a good investment even better, so this is your time to add to cart. Vitamix products rarely go on sale, so they’re sure to move quickly.
