The verdict

Why it scored a 80

At $329.95, the Vitamix VX1 is the brand's new entry-level model and the effective replacement for the retired Explorian E310, with a 2.2 HP motor and a 64 oz container. Quality at 88 and Warranty at 88 lead, the latter for five years of coverage. Features trail at 55: the only program is self-clean, the container is not dishwasher-safe, and the tall jar will not fit under cabinets around 17 inches. Reliability at 81 reflects only 175 ratings at 4.3 stars and no major independent lab test yet. It suits a buyer who wants Vitamix blending and the long warranty without paying for presets.
