Portrait of the Vitamin 5200 blender
Amazon/CNET

As an avid home cook and baker, I've gone through my fair share of blenders from top brands. I have to say that none really comes close to Vitamix. It's an iconic blender that most, if not all, professionals use -- and for good reason. The powerful Vitamix 5200 blender is perfect for making the creamiest soups, dips and spreads, fresh smoothies and baby food, and it can even knead dough. There's only one catch -- it retails for a pretty penny, at $550. However, for Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day, you can get it for $300. It's one of Amazon's best deals on kitchen appliances.

Here's why we love it.

  • Large pitcher: This blender comes with a 64-ounce pitcher that's great for medium to large batches. 
  • Heating feature: The blades can go fast enough to bring cold foods to a steaming hot temperature in just 6 minutes.
  • Self cleaning: Add a little bit of dish soap and water, and your Vitamix can clean itself in under a minute.
  • Tough stainless-steel blades: You can blend even the hardest ingredients in this blender with its hardened stainless-steal blades.
  • Simple speed control: The three-switch control panel on this blender makes it super easy to use. 

If you want a premium blender that's simple to use, powerful and efficient, snag the Vitamix 5200 before it's gone.
