Vitamix is having a pretty massive Mother’s Day sale right now, and—bombshell here—you don’t technically have to be a mother to get one. (Dog mom, cat god-uncle, mother of none, it’s all good.) The Vitamix sale is happening right now and runs through May 17th, and it’s across retailers too. Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender, Professional-Grade, 48 oz. Container, Slate $299.95 at Amazon /images/amazon-prime.svg $379.95 Save $80.00 Get Deal Get Deal $299.95 at Amazon /images/amazon-prime.svg $379.95 Save $80.00 This is especially notable because Vitamix sales don’t pop up every holiday— they’re usually reserved for bigger events like Black Friday or Cyber Monday. So if you’ve been meaning to upgrade your blender, this truly is the summer opportunity to do so. Personally, I’m a big fan of the Vitamix Ascent X5 (read my review here), it’s impressively fast at processing everything from smoothies to nut butters. I love the preset functions and the digital screen is, aesthetically, quite sleek. The Ascent X5 is $100 off right now for $649.95 (from a retail price of $749.95). If you’re working with a smaller budget, capitalize on the discount off of their introductory model that’s on sale right now, the Vitamix Explorian E310. Don’t let the term “introductory” throw you off—this machine is a beast. I was able to make hot soups and nut butters just as successfully as I did in the Ascent X5. Check out the full details in my review here. The Explorian E310 is on sale for $299.95, $80 off of its regular price, $379.95.It’s also a great time to think big picture—because some of their blender bundles are on sale too. So before you throw the Ascent X5 in your shopping cart, consider perhaps saving $50 and get their 5200 Legacy Bundle for $599.95 which includes two blender to-go cups with lids and a cup adapter. Not to mention a long flexible spatula which I wish I had. View the full article
