Prime Big Deal Days Spotlight: Vitamix 5200 Blender

Kitchen appliances are an underrated shopping category during major savings events, mostly because people are too caught up in looking at big screen TVs and overpowered gaming rigs, but quality kitchen gear doesn't come cheap, so savings here can go a long way. That's especially true for well made products, as these tend to last a very long time if properly maintained. Case in point: a quality blender. If you want to upgrade your cooking skills and tackle things like soups, sauces, homemade ice cream and the endless variety of smoothies out there, you're going to need a quality blender, and this model from Vitamix checks all the boxes.  RELATED: Prime Big Deal Days: Tech Deals Act quickly, though, because this deal is very much limited by the fast-dwindling supply. Vitamix 5200 Blender With an oversized, 64-ounce container (BPA-free, naturally), stainless-steel blades and a wickedly effective self-cleaning function, it's no wonder the 5200 blender from Vitamix is such a fan favorite. The 1380-watt motor offers 10 variable speed settings, allowing you tackle anything from crushed ice and hard nuts to frozen fruit and fibrous produce and still achieve your desired texture.  This blender also makes an amazing gift for new parents, as the ability to create your own juices and purées not only helps provide nutritious, easily digestible meals for babies but also helps cut down on the cost of pre-made baby foods.  $499.95 $349.95 at Amazon.com Shop more Prime Big Deal Days deals and stack your savings by exploring our coverage of Amazon's biggest sale event of the year.
