Wirecutter's pick for people who want serious blending power without the $400+ Vitamix price tag. Ideal for those blending a few times a week who don't need top-tier daily performance.
The Cleanblend is the smart middle ground — you get 80% of the Vitamix experience at a noticeably lower price, which is the right trade-off for most households.
“If you don't want to pay over $400 for the Vitamix 5200, and you don't use a blender more than a few times a week, consider our middle-of-the-road pick — the Cleanblend.”
