Vitamix for the Home: What You Need to Know

Whether you want to create your own sauces, blend a quick smoothie for lunch, or attempt complicated cooking challenges, Vitamix for the home gives you the control you need to succeed. Vitamix is famous for its commercial-grade blenders, but it also produces several lines specifically designed for residential use. Ensure you purchase the correct line for your purposes because using a commercial blender in a home setting – or vice versa – will void your warranty, and it won't work as well as the appropriate product.

Common Questions About Vitamix Home

What size Vitamix home blender container should I choose?

The standard blender container is big enough to handle most blending tasks, but smaller ingredients or projects might feel out of place. KaTom carries a selection of Vitamix products for home use that enable users to grind, mix, and puree small quantities of ingredients. Vitamix offers an 8-ounce blending bowl and a 20-ounce blending cup that expand your blender's ability to process low-volume recipes. These small blending containers save time and reduce dirty dishes by enabling you to blend or grind in a container that can then be used for storing or serving the finished product. Since the standard base is too large, the blending bowl and cup require a separate smaller base. Consider purchasing a starter pack, which includes the smaller base and two cups or bowls.

What Vitamix residential accessories are available?

In addition to blending bowls and cups, Vitamix offers a handful of helpful products to expand your blender's capabilities. The Vitamix home lines are supplemented by add-ons such as the Perfect Blend Smart Scale, Aer™ Disc Container, and tamping tools that add functionality and improve efficiency. Vitamix's Smart Scale is a fast, accurate way to control portion size and ensure your recipe contains precisely measured ingredients. Vitamix's low-profile tamper helps push stubborn ingredients into the blades, ensuring no ingredient is left unblended. This is particularly helpful for large quantities of frozen ingredients that might get stuck in the upper portion of the blending container.

The Aer Disc Container specializes in producing emulsions, muddling fruit, and whipping creams or foams. The Aer Disc aerates the ingredients and creates intriguing textures, so you can expand your personal menu to include carefully crafted cocktails, light hollandaise sauce, and frothy cafe beverages. All these accessories enable you to create a wide range of blended, emulsified, and muddled concoctions to delight your guests.
