$400+/From $285

Target is offering the Vitamix A2300 Ascent Series Smart Blender for $299.99 shipped with the discount reflecting in-cart. If you’re a REDCard member, you’ll save an extra 5%, dropping it to $284.99 shipped. Normally $450 at retailers like Williams-Sonoma, Amazon has it listed for $400 right now and this is the lowest price we’ve tracked historically. If you love smoothies, milkshakes, and other blended goodies, Vitamix is one of your best options. This Vitamix blender feature a powerful motor, 10-year warranty, 64-ounce capacity, and more, making it a great choice. Rated 4.4/5 stars.

The Ninja Professional Countertop Blender would be a suitable alternative at $100 shipped on Amazon. This is a fraction of the cost of the above Vitamix but will get the job done just the same. You won’t find a stellar 10-year warranty or quite as powerful of a motor here, but Ninja is well-known in the blender business and my personal choice for more budget-friendly applications.
