It means the unit has been returned to the factory and inspected, repaired, and tested by Vitamix technicians to meet their original performance standards. These units are essentially restored to like-new condition and come with the same 5-year warranty as new models.

The three pre-programmed settings—smoothies, hot soups, and frozen desserts—automatically adjust the speed and timing to achieve the ideal consistency for those specific tasks, then shut off automatically. Manual variable speed control gives you full command over the texture, allowing you to create anything from chunky salsas to silky purees at your own pace.

While the 64-ounce container is designed for larger batches, it is versatile enough to handle smaller amounts as long as you use the included tamper to push ingredients down toward the blades. If you frequently make single-serving smoothies, you may find yourself needing to scrape the sides more often than you would with a smaller container.

The tamper is designed to safely push thick or frozen ingredients into the blades while the machine is running. It is essential for processing dense mixtures like nut butters, thick smoothie bowls, or frozen desserts without having to stop the blender to scrape down the sides.

Yes. The friction generated by the high-speed blades is powerful enough to heat cold ingredients to steaming hot temperatures in about six minutes. You simply add your raw ingredients, select the soup setting, and the blender handles the heating and blending simultaneously.
