I’ll never forget the Christmas my mom got a Vitamix. It was a pretty exciting day and my sisters are still talking about who will inherit it someday (hopefully not for a very, very long time).

If you’ve always wanted a Vitamix, today is a great time to get it. Head over here to pick up a Professional Grade A2500 Ascent Series Smart Blender for $299.95, usually $399.95. This is refurbished, but comes with a 5 year warranty (and all 5 star reviews). You’d pay $489 for the non-refurbished model.

• “Program settings: three program settings for smoothies, hot Soup, and frozen desserts, ensure walk-away convenience and consistent results.
• You’re in control: variable speed control and pulse feature let you fine-tune the texture of any recipe.
• Built-in wireless connectivity: the motor base is able to read the container size you’ve chosen and automatically adjust program settings and maximum blending times accordingly.
• Digital timer: a built-in digital timer removes the guesswork with recipes you process manually, helping you achieve the perfect texture every time.
• Pair with any self-detect containers: add a range of compatible container sizes, building a customized blending system designed to fit your needs.
• Pair with the Vitamix perfect blend app: unlock your blender’s full potential with 17 programs and 500+ recipes with the ios + Android app.
• 5-Year Full Warranty”

Enjoy!
