Choosing which one to get
Since almost all machines are on sale, there isn’t a single deal that jumps out as best. Check out my Which Vitamix to buy page for help deciding.
Ascent/Venturist?
The primary question is whether you want an Ascent/Venturist machine or a Classic one. To help decide, see my, Vitamix Ascent X Series Review, Original Ascent Review and Venturist Review. In my opinion, the main reasons to go with Ascent are if you want to be able to use the Ascent-only accessories, most notably the Food Processor Attachment, or for the aesthetics.
Reconditioned?
The next question is if you want to go with reconditioned or new. Reconditioned Vitamix machines offer the biggest savings, and I highly recommend them. (For more details, see my Reconditioned Vitamix page).
There are only two situations where I don’t recommend reconditioned. One is if you are buying a gift for someone who will not appreciate the value proposition. (Reconditioned machines are indistinguishable from new once they are on your counter, but their packaging materials are clearly marked as reconditioned.)
The other situation is if you don’t want to buy a second container, and the 48-oz container is ideal for you. It only comes with the new E310. The E310 is already relatively modestly priced, so the $80 off makes it a great deal, and this is the ideal machine for some people. Its narrow container handles small amounts better than the wide 64-oz containers.
Other choices
Then you’ll have to decide if you want presets, or a premium metal base (metal only available on A3300, A3500, X4, and X5).
Recommended Picks
Of all these deals on machines, I think most people should choose from the following options.
“Entry level” but still full power and quality: E310
The E310 is a no-frills machine, and its container is great for blending smaller amounts, while also going up to a 48-oz capacity.
“Entry level” smart machine compatible with all current accessories: Recon V1200
The Food Processor Attachment is only available for smart models.
Premium metal base smart blender: X4
The metal base looks great and muffles sound a bit, making it quieter than the non-metal Vitamix machines, and it is compatible with all accessories. The X5 adds a 5 more preset programs, but that’s the only difference over the X4, and I don’t think they’re worth it unless you really don’t care about cost.
The A3500 with stainless container is also a nice choice if you want the all-stainless look.
Free Shipping
As usual, free shipping on orders over $50 will be applied in your cart if you click any of the Vitamix links from this page.
Black Friday Pricing Note
One other thing to note about Vitamix Black Friday deals is that Vitamix has pricing agreements with its retailers. Probably for this reason, I have never seen a Vitamix doorbuster advertised at a brick-and-mortar store.
Happy shopping!

Hi Im looking at either the A3300 or the A3500? i know that the A3300 was on sale for 350 usd. do u know if it was a black friday only sale? do we have to wait for sales to get that kind of pricing again?
Thank you
Yeah, that price is pretty rare. I think it’s Black Friday only.
