You know that moment when you’re debating how to awkwardly ladle hot liquid into a countertop blender or otherwise trying to figure out how to get the thing that needs to be blended into the actual blender? This fixes that. It keeps the entire operation right where it belongs, safe, tidy, and under control.

With five adjustable speeds and the kind of stout little motor Vitamix is known for, it handles everything from silky soups to sauces without missing a beat. The stainless steel blending shaft is built for direct contact with hot ingredients, and the ergonomic grip keeps things steady while you work. This bundle goes beyond basic blending with included attachments for whisking and chopping, so it earns its space in the drawer and, eventually, your heart.
