Vitamix S55

The Vitamix S55 is a high-performance blender designed for personal use. It features four pre-programmed settings (Smoothie, Power Blend, Dips/Spreads, Frozen Desserts) and comes with two container sizes: a 20-ounce container that doubles as a travel cup and a 40-ounce container. The blender utilizes a powerful motor and durable blades for versatile blending, chopping, and pureeing. It includes a tamper for use with the 40-ounce container to aid in processing thick mixtures.
