Vitamix has always had a tradition of making some of the best kitchen appliances out there. With the release of their Vita Mix 5000. Not only are these blenders amazing at what they are supposed to do – blend things just like the name says they should, they are capable of holding out through a number of more interesting things. Blenders that wield the same kind of power from the likes of Blendtec can even much through iPods and other consumer electronics as popularized by the ‘Will It Blend?’ videos that the company pit out a couple of years back, and continues to do so. It became a bog thing and sparked all kinds of internet memes and a case of a student being suspended for using the scared words, ‘But will it blend?’ at the inappropriate moment.
While Blendtec might be great at marketing their blenders and that I don’t have a big beef with them, it is just that I have always found their blenders a tad bit too hard to clean through once I was done making things in them. While it is usually easy to do with drinks, cleaning out bits of carrot from the blender’s jar isn’t my idea of a well spent afternoon by any stretch of imagination.
Über powerful blenders like the Vita Mix 1300 TurboBlend 4500 are surprisingly easy to clean with the blade and other embellishments coming out easy. One tip that is essential for those of you with the ridged jar that comes with some VitaMix products is that you should soak it in water as soon as you’re done using it. The ridges of any blender don’t do well when they’ve got food stuck in them somewhere. As far as the main unit goes, the fingerprint free finish is a great bonus that VitaMix offers as well.
