The Vitamix Immersion Blender’s compatibility with both hot and cold blending makes it ideal for users looking for a durable handheld blender. However, its poor performance with fibrous ingredients and the lack of ice-crushing support do hold it back.
Released back in mid-2020, the Vitamix Immersion Blender is a mid-range model that supports both hot and cold blending. Unlike the highly rated blenders in its category, the Vitamix Immersion Blender only features a 625 watt DC brushless motor, which compliments its advanced serrated six-bladed chopping system well.
However, if you need an even more powerful model that can double as a commercial blender, check out our Optimum G2.3 review. Unfortunately, it does not come with a dedicated blender or a specified pulse mode.
Users need to repeatedly press and release the power button for a virtual pulse mode, which can be cumbersome. On the highest speed option of 13900 RPM (Rotations Per Minute) among its five different modes, this blender only achieves a max noise output of 69 decibels, making it one of the quietest blenders you can get in its range.
What Is Not on the Box
What the brand doesn’t always tell you…
our Verdict
The Vitamix Immersion Blender is an excellent option for users that need an immersion blender that features a durable build quality. It also sports a sharp six-bladed assembly, but due to its somewhat low-powered motor, it can’t crush ice or chop fibrous ingredients like leafy greens well.
If you need a better-performing blender in those regards, visit our Cuisinart Smart Stick Two Speed Hand Blender review. The Vitamix model offers five speed modes, but it is mainly intended for blending soft ingredients inside pans.
For blending tougher ingredients, take a look at our Vitamix One Blender review. It also comes with dishwasher-safe attachments for easy cleaning. And being tested at just 69 decibels, it is fairly quiet. For a quieter full-fledged blender, check our Hamilton Beach Professional Quiet Blender review.

While the Vitamix Immersion Blender is a 625 watt handheld blender, the Vitamix A3500 is a full-fledged blender that features a powerful 1640 watt DC brushless motor. In addition, the A3500 comes with a 64 oz pitcher, but the Immersion Blender doesn’t. To learn more about the A3500, make sure to take a look at our Vitamix A3500 review.

Thanks to its slightly more powerful 750 watt DC brushless motor, the All-Clad KZ750DGT can produce snow-like crushed ice and almond butter, but the 625 watt Vitamix Immersion Blender can’t. The former model also has a detachable shaft for easy hand cleaning, but the Vitamix model doesn’t offer such convenience. But the Vitamix Immersion Blender does have a better build quality compared to the All-Clad KZ750DGT. And unlike the KZ750DGT blender, the Vitamix model comes with five different speed modes.

Despite the Bamix Mono M133 featuring a 140 watt motor, it makes much better bar-quality crushed ice than the 625 watt Vitamix Immersion Blender. And unlike the Vitamix model, the Bamix blender comes with a small 20 oz beaker for blending. However, the Vitamix Immersion Blender has five different speed modes, whereas the Bamix Mono M133 only comes with two. To learn more about the M133, make sure to take a look at our Bamix Mono M133 review.
