Take $80 off this powerful, high-end Vitamix blender on Amazon

By Jacob Kienlen March 28, 2018

If you use your current blender for more than just the occasional margarita, it might just be time to invest in something a bit more ferocious. Have you ever heard of Vitamix? If you haven’t, you probably aren’t living up to your blending potential. Vitamix is like the Mercedes of the blender world, and there’s a sale going on right now that makes getting one for yourself a lot more affordable.

Amazon is taking

$80 off the Vitamix 5200

for a limited time, bringing the price down to $320 — a price we haven’t seen since Black Friday. While it may seem like a lot of money to spend on a blender, you really get what you pay for and more with this model. The Vitamix 5200 container can handle up to 64 ounces of just about whatever you want to put in there. It can pulverize even the tiniest of seeds with a powerful spinning blade to make sure you get that smooth, blended texture no matter how tiny the ingredients may be.

Though it’s variable speed control and ability to pulverize just about anything are quite impressive, that’s not all it can do. Have you ever thought about making soup in your blender? With the Vitamix 5200, you can bring cold ingredients to a steaming hot temperature in as little as six minutes. This powered-up blender can reach speeds fast enough to create the friction heat necessary to literally vaporize liquids. Why use your stove to heat things when you can just vaporize that tomato soup, right?

The Vitamix 5200 probably won’t be on sale for long, as it is a very high-tech piece of equipment. If you’re truly ready to step up your game and start blending that smoothie like a pro, the time is now. You can pick this awesome blender for just

Amazon shoppers love this portable charger, and its 30% off

iwalk portable charger deal amazon prime day 2023 lifestyle

I'm willing to bet that you're using your phone right now to browse through all of the awesome Prime Day deals that are going on. That also means you're wearing your battery down, and if it's not plugged into a charger, you'll have to do that soon. But if you had a portable charger, you could simply plug your phone into that for a little bit more power and keep browsing to your heart's content -- a portable charger just like the one iWALK is offering in a Prime Day deal today. Normally $35, it's yours for just $25, saving you $10 or a cool 30%. It works with a variety of smartphones, including the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro, as well as to charge Apple Airpods via the case. Head below, and we'll talk a bit more about what it can do for you -- or grab it from Amazon if you know you want it already.

Why you should buy the iWALK portable charger
For starters, with over 25,000 reviews, this portable charger has a collective rating of 4.5 stars -- that's amazing. With a 4,500mAh capacity, you'll be able to fully charge an iPhone 8 nearly two times (1.5 times) or an iPhone X one time, giving you quite a few extra hours of use and a bit of wiggle room until you can get to an outlet and your normal charger. If you've never used a power bank or portable charger like this before, it's super easy. You just plug it into the Lightning port on your phone, and thanks to pass-through technology, when you are near a traditional charger, you can plug them both right in -- the bank will charge at the same time as your phone.

This Vitamix is back to its lowest price of the year for Prime Day

Vitamix5200 Professional-Grade blender

Prime Day deals offer some of the best opportunities of the year to upgrade your home appliances. We're seeing some fantastic price cuts on quality products. If you've been using a mediocre blender, for instance, you can use Prime Day to upgrade to something that a professional chef would use in an industrial kitchen. We're not kidding around here. The Vitamix 5200 professional-grade blender is currently on sale for $300. That may seem steep for a blender, but it's usually $550. This price matches the previous lowest price for this blender, so now is truly the best time to buy it.

Why you should buy the Vitamix 5200 during Prime Day
The best blenders are fairly simple devices. There are only two features that matter: how well it blends and the variety of settings. To get one thing out of the way, Vitamix blenders are high quality. This Vitamix has a cool-running motor that was built in the U.S. and designed to last for years. It works with both hot and cold food, so you can blend ice into smoothies just as easily as you can blend roasted vegetables into soup. It can also handle sticky dough for cookies and bread. When you're done blending, the clean-up is super easy. Just blend some warm, soapy water in the Vitamix, then rinse it out.
