    If you love smoothies (Who doesn't?) and your old blender isn't exactly blending icy drinks up to your silky-smooth standards, then I have great news. The powerful Vitamix 5200 Blender is 45% off — that's $250 in savings!

    That's right! $229.95 for a professional-grade, multi-purpose kitchen appliance that's going to see you through years of delicious blending. How could I possibly know that? WELL, this gorgeous gadget comes with a full SEVEN-YEAR warranty.

    It'll have no issue whipping through all the ice and frozen fruit you can throw at it, with hardened stainless steel blades and an included tamper that helps break up stubborn mix jobs and scrape the sides without having to stop the machine mid-blend.

    In addition to the motor base, and 64 oz. container this blender also includes a tamper tool, and a getting started guide/cookbook. 

    "I am OBSESSED with this blender. Tasks that used to stress my old blender's motor are nothing to this guy. Crushed ice? Done in seconds. Super thick smoothie? Use the tamper and it never stops moving. Use the high-power setting to break down lentils or chickpeas into flour. Comes with a little recipe book to show new and better ways to use your blender. Totally worth the price!!" —Asher

    And if you're thinking "I don't drink smoothies that much" just stop right now. You can make ~stoveless~ soup in this magical, spinning machine. The large 64-ounce container can accommodate a family-sized serving and the blades create enough friction to take ingredients from cold to steaming hot in about six minutes!

    "It took us years of research and a bit of hemming and hawing to finally pull the trigger on this purchase. We have no regrets other than we should have bought one sooner. The most pleasing and surprising discovery was how easy the clean-up is. What a fantastic way to get your daily veggies or to make sure they don't go to waste. We've had fun trying the different soup recipes and are so amazed at how steamy and smooth they turn out in just around 5 minutes. Now on to frozen cocktails.....holy FUN! This thing makes restaurant/bar quality frozen cocktails that are beyond smooth, easy to make, and super easy to clean-up. If you're on the fence like we were just do it, you won't regret it!" —Christopher

    Did I mention it's self-cleaning? Because obviously, the worst part about using a blender is essentially deconstructing it every time you want to give it more than a cursory rinse. With just a dollop of dish soap and warm water, your Vitamix 5200 can clean itself in just 30 to 60 seconds.

    "After having tried several vegetable juicers, we stumbled on this one, during a major Amazon special offer. It has been MUCH better than anything else! If you let it run for a minute or so, at high speed, it turns everything into LIQUID, instead of liquid with a gritty, fibery pulp (which you feel like spitting out). Also, the cleaning is particularly easy: just add some hot water, and a few drops of liquid dish detergent, and turn it on, at high speed, for a few seconds, then rinse. The wonderfully sudsy wash water, we then add to the sink for washing dishes. And finally, it seems to be a very rugged appliance; this is not a characteristic of some of the cheaper competing devices." —Glen G.

    So, what's the hold-up? Hurry on over to Amazon and snag your very own Vitamix 5200 Blender before this mega Prime Day sale ends!!
