It’s no secret that we’re big fans of our Vitamix and use it almost daily. We’ve even jokingly call it our other child (because we love it so much, and because since 2020 our humor has gotten REAL weird). But y’all, there’s a new appliance that we’re using (and loving) just as much— the Vitamix Immersion Blender!
It’s become an invaluable appliance in the Talley Household… and here are 5 reasons we use it every day!
1. Ease of Use (and Clean-up) - This is probably the most compelling reason for anybody to purchase an immersion blender. (Especially if you’re parents like us— ease is key!) It’s handheld, easy to maneuver, and takes up a fraction of the space of any of your other appliances. In terms of clean-up, you can scrub and rinse it in no time. The time that it takes to take out, press “on”, and be blending away is SO convenient compared to taking out the blender and it’s attachments. In fewer words… it’s just really easy.

So easy to use!
2. Quality and Power - With so many immersion blender options on the market, you may wonder why the Vitamix is worth the investment? (Good question!) Upon opening, it’s easy to immediately recognize the amazingly high quality of the blender, built with sturdy plastic and stainless steel. It also has five power levels, which will allow you to blast through the more difficult textures like nuts and ice (most immersion blenders avoid against these… not Vitamix)!

3. Compact - You may remember that we travelled with our Vitamix last year (With a carrying case!). What can we say, we love our smoothies! Considering we have a little more baggage on our trips thanks to baby Jude, we absolutely love how small this is. Aside from taking it on our next road trip, it takes up minimal cabinet space in our tiny kitchen. WIN/WIN!
4. Smoothies, Salsas, Soups - Between these three, we’re using the blender daily. All four of us (Sally too!) enjoy a healthy smoothie to start our day full of fruits and veggies. Switch out those sweet smoothie ingredients for some tomato, onion, garlic, and cilantro and you’re ready for chips and salsa. For those cozy nights in, butternut squash soup is our go-to (see a blog we did on it here!). We love how easily the immersion blender can whirl together a rich, creamy soup!

Bon Appétit!

It was a hit! And somehow the bowl ended up on his shoulder.
5. Waffles - There’s nothing like whipping up some waffles on a Sunday morning, (or any day, let’s be honest)! What used to be a monthly treat has now turned into a weekly meal thanks to our immersion blender. Not only does it whip up smooth, tasty batter, but it allows us to make smaller batches (Bobby may have waffles more than weekly). Thank you, Vitamix!
Waffle time!
Point of the story: The Vitamix Immersion Blender is a new staple in our kitchen. It’s versatile, powerful, and easy to use for so many of our meals. Get one for yourself and start blending away!
