Vitamix 6500 1.9L 1500-Watt Stand Blender - Platinum - Only at Best Buy

I was fleet afoot and purchased and picked it up on Friday. I gave it 5 stars although I have not used it yet based on my impressions. It is big, heavy and appears to be well constructed. I did my research before making my purchase. It is no longer for sale on other websites I checked, including vitamix. I have concluded that it has been discontinued and discovered that many of the new attachments will not work with this model. It looks like Bestbuy obtained all the remaining supplies. For my needs I am sure this will be a great machine. I would suggest your buy yours as soon as possible while supplies last

You do get what you pay for in many items and this is no exception. An expensive price point for a blender but what it can do puts cheaper units to shame. Smoothies are velvety smooth and never have chunks of unblended fruit/nuts. We made a squash soup and cooked it using nothing but the blender. You have to see it to believe. The container is large enough for double batches and the self clean ability really takes the pain out of cleaning it. I only wish it were a bit shorter to fit completely under the cabinets but we simply take the container off the base to store it. One of the best I've seen.

So multiple people I know have vitamixers and I've always thought they were amazing from what people who have them have told me and the few times I've used them for different thing helping them out in their kitchens. But it wasnt till I bought my own did I realize the full amazing wonderfulness that is owning a vitamix. I use this guy ALL the time. I honestly dont know how I lived without it. Its sooooo much more than a blender. Everyone needs one of these in their kitchen!

We've owned a variety of inexpensive blenders which have been ok but lacked the power and build quality to meet the demands of making smoothies, soups, dressings and other foods on a daily basis. When our last one broke down, we decided it's time to get serious, so we looked at Blendtec, Ninja, Breville Pro and Vitamix. Based on our extensive research and reading reviews, we decided to get the Vitamix 6500 (same motor and blade as the more expensive 750 pro). And, are we ever glad we did!!! The Vitamix 6500 performs flawlessly, blending smoothies, soups, dressings, sauces with all sorts of ingredients; iced drinks....you name it! And, the blender is surprisingly quiet for the power it generates (2 hsp motor). The 3 pre-set selections are easy to use and a time saver. Lastly, the 6500 is easy to clean- just some soap and warm water in the blender's container and mix for a few seconds.... Overall, we are VERY PLEASED with our purchase....one that should bring us lots of food pleasure and last us for many years!

Much more powerful than 5200 series, however, it’s also noisier. It has 3 presets which is very convenient. I also like the short profile container which fits under top cabinets.
