Most home food processors fall into the consumer category of using weaker parts that are more likely to break over time. This distinguishes Vitamix machines from standard consumer blenders that aren’t built to the same standards, and do not last as long.

VITAMIX BLENDER FOOD PROCESSOR COMBO PROFESSIONAL
Home Vitamix blenders are the same heavy duty quality as their commercial line, which is used by professional chefs, baristas, and bar tenders. Compared to a food processor blade, it will pulverize ingredients more, while the food processor blade does more slicing.įood processors have the advantage of additional cutting disks, which allow them to evenly slice and grate ingredients. Vitamix machines come with a blade optimized for blending liquids. Most people use a Vitamix frequently enough that they prefer to keep it out on the kitchen counter, whereas they’re more likely to stow a food processor away in a cabinet. (I don’t think scraping out a Vitamix is a problem, as long as you have the right tool.) On the other hand, some people find scraping thick mixtures from a food processor’s shallower container easier.

The Vitamix blade stays in place and cleans itself by blending soapy water.

Vitamix machines are generally more convenient, partly because they tend to be easier to clean.
