What sets the VX1 apart is the container: Vitamix brought back the 64-ounce classic jar, the same one that runs on the 5200, and paired it with a 2.2 HP motor and laser-cut hardened stainless-steel blades. The blade geometry and the jar’s shape work together to pull ingredients down into the vortex instead of letting them ride up the sides, which is what keeps a full pitcher of frozen fruit moving.
The variable speed dial adjusts mid-blend, so you can take a smoothie from coarse to silky without stopping, and the pulse control leaves salsa and chunky soups with texture instead of pureeing them flat. The self-cleaning program handles the jar afterward with warm water and a drop of dish soap. At 64 ounces it covers a pitcher for the table as easily as a single serving, and the BPA-free Tritan jar and lid go in the dishwasher.
Vita-Mix Corporation has been headquartered in Olmsted Township, Ohio since 1921 and employs roughly 700 people across its Northeast Ohio operations. The VX1 launched in February 2026 as the entry point to the company’s full-size line and carries a 5-year limited warranty. This listing states no origin for the item itself.
