This is the hand-held Vitamix: a 625-watt motor in a grip housing with a stainless-steel blending arm and a four-point blade. It goes into the pot, the pitcher or the mixing bowl, which means soup gets pureed where it was cooked instead of being ladled into a jar in batches and poured back.
Five speeds cover the spread from folding a vinaigrette together to breaking down cooked vegetables into a smooth soup, and the arm detaches from the motor housing so the part that went in the food can be washed on its own. For small jobs it saves the cleanup that makes a full-size blender not worth hauling out.
Vita-Mix Corporation has been headquartered in Olmsted Township, Ohio since 1921 and employs roughly 700 people across its Northeast Ohio operations, where it has built high-performance blending equipment for commercial kitchens and home cooks for over a century.
