Vitamix VM0219

The Vitamix VM0219 is a handheld immersion blender designed for blending, whisking, and chopping directly in pots, pans, or containers. It features a variable speed control with five speed settings, a polarized plug for safety, and interchangeable attachments including a whisk (VM0219B) and a chopper (VM0219A). The motor body is designed to be durable and withstand extended use, but the drive socket and spline connector can become hot. The attachments connect to the motor body with a twist-lock mechanism.
