Vitamix Ascent X3 Professional-Grade Countertop Blender with 48 Oz Container, Shadow Black

The Vitamix Ascent X3 Professional Blender is designed for home kitchens that demand precision, power, and versatility. Built with a high-performance 2.2 horsepower motor, this countertop blender processes smoothies, hot soups, frozen desserts, sauces, purées, and more with consistent results and controlled textures. Three automatic blending programs for Smoothies, Hot Soups, and Frozen Desserts simplify preparation by optimizing speed and timing for each recipe. For manual control, variable speed settings and a Pulse function allow you to fine-tune texture, while the built-in digital timer helps you monitor blending time for accurate results. The included 48-ounce BPA-free container is ideal for small- to medium-capacity blends and is designed to create the Vitamix vortex for efficient ingredient circulation. Durable, laser-cut stainless-steel blades are engineered to handle fibrous produce, frozen ingredients, and hot recipes. The container is dishwasher-safe for added convenience. Cleaning is easy with the integrated Self-Cleaning Program. Simply add warm water and a drop of dish soap and the blender cleans itself in 60 seconds or less. The Ascent X3 is also compatible with SELF-DETECT containers, allowing the motor base to recognize attachments and automatically adjust blend settings and times for optimized performance. Included with the blender are the Ascent X3 motor base, 48-ounce container, S2 low-profile tamper, tamper holder, and digital recipe book. Backed by a 10-year limited warranty, the Vitamix Ascent X3 is built for long-term reliability and consistent blending performance.
