Do chefs use Vitamix? ›

Vitamix fuels passions. It's why we're the brand most trusted by professional chefs. But you won't just find us in restaurant kitchens. You'll also find us in home kitchens around the world.

Earlier blender models came with containers that were not dishwasher safe. However, newer blending containers can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Vitamix blenders are known for their powerful performance in breaking down tough ingredients with ease and their high-quality construction. These models are also long-lasting and easy to use. The main downsides of these blenders are that they can be expensive, heavy, and harder to clean than more compact options.

Beyond the basics of good, sharp knives, a sturdy cutting board, and reliable cookware, Ramsay is also a fan of two different types of blenders. At home, as he shared with Refinery 29, Ramsay uses both a bullet blender and an immersion blender.

Vitamix has long been considered the gold standard of high-performance blenders and is still the brand favored by many professional chefs for its power, design, and durability. Its blenders are expensive, but their incredible performance and durability make them worth the high price tag.

Best for Pros: Vitamix Legacy Series

The Legacy Series is the tried-and-true classic line of Vitamix blenders. All models in the Vitamix Legacy series come with a 64-ounce capacity, plastic tamper and 7-year warranty. The 5200 is the classic Vitamix model and a favorite of our test kitchen chefs.

Masterchef relies on Vitamix due to its Power, Performance and Quality. Vitamix invented high performance blending and you'll love it for the same reason that professional chefs like Gary do. Vitamix certainly makes cooking and preparing food easier.

That being said, if you use the Vitamix as a blender and not a food processor, and are careful not to tax it with difficult ingredients (e.g. dates, large chunks of frozen banana with no liquid to help blend, etc.), it clearly performs better than the other blenders we reviewed.
