Propel Series 510 Professional-Grade Blender, 3 Programs, Black

The Vitamix Propel Series 510 blender has been an outstanding addition to my kitchen and has easily lived up to the Vitamix reputation. From the first use, it’s clear this machine is built for performance and durability. It powers through everything I’ve thrown at it—frozen fruit, ice, nuts, and fibrous vegetables—without hesitation, producing smooth, consistent results every time. The preset programs are extremely convenient and take the guesswork out of blending. Whether I’m making smoothies, soups, or frozen desserts, the results are reliable and repeatable. The variable speed control is also a big plus, allowing fine-tuned control when I want a specific texture. Everything feels intuitive and well thought out, even for someone who doesn’t want to spend time fiddling with settings. Build quality is excellent. The blender feels solid and stable on the counter, and the container design works well for both small and large batches. Cleanup is quick and easy—usually just a drop of dish soap, warm water, and a quick blend does the trick, which makes daily use much more appealing. Overall, the Vitamix Propel Series 510 is a powerful, dependable blender that delivers professional-level results at home. It’s an investment, but one that absolutely pays off in performance, ease of use, and long-term reliability. I couldn’t be happier with it and would highly recommend it to anyone serious about blending.

I absolutely love this blender - it has so many power settings - it can crush any fruit, vegetable - and ice, nuts, etc. Without even following any recipes - I have made a Kale, apple, banana, date smoothie and I have made a blueberry, date, banana smoothie - they turned out unbelievably delicious with the perfect texture- I credit it all to this applicance - now I no longer have to go to my Yoga place and buy these smoothies cause I make make them just as well at home! I would invest in this again and again!

This is my first Vitamix purchase. I bought this mainly for smoothies for myself. My old blender left me picking berry seeds out of my teeth after each smoothie. Hummus and cauliflower mash came out grainy in the food processor and would jam up my old blender unless you added more liquid, making the final product too runny. I watched many videos reviewing different Vitamix models. Most of the "influencers" recommended the fancier models with all the bells and whistles such as the Ascent 3500. I personally thought it was overkill for me and didn't think I'd ever use the timer, all the preset options, and different containers. I mean, it's a blender right? You put stuff in, turn it on for a minute and then turn it off. I'm not baking cookies or roasting a turkey in there. The first thing I decided to make was strawberry ice cream using heavy whipping cream and frozen strawberries. I used the preset option for frozen desserts and tamper stick. The preset options have automated times and speeds and stop automatically after the preset cycle is finished. After the cycle was done it wasn't smooth enough for me so I used the variable speed dial on high for another 15 seconds and it was smooth, creamy, and delicious. After that experience, I don't think I'll be using the preset options much because depending on the type and quantity of ingredients, you will need to blend for different times to get just the right final consistency based on your individual preference. The presets don't account for all that. To address some of the negative reviews: Pitcher shifting: yes, the pitcher shifts a tad when the blender kicks on. That is normal. The motor is very powerful and the pitcher needs to have some give to it. Lid: The lid does form a complete seal you just have to make sure you put some weight on it when you press it down into place. Container size: This pitcher works just fine for my use but I usually only make two-serving smoothies using low volume items (no large fruits or greens). If you plan to blend a lot of large items and/or making additional servings at once, I would probably suggest buying a blender that comes with a larger pitcher or buying the 64 oz. tall Vitamix pitcher, which is compatible with this base. The 64 oz. wide pitcher is NOT compatible. Sound: yes, it's loud. It's also very powerful. Those two things usually go hand in hand. The highest power setting is almost intimidating to use for the first time. Don't be scared to let it do it's thing. Keep the tamper handy. Recipe book: The recipe book does not give conflicting instructions. I can't believe I have to explain this, but people read from top to bottom so the water or liquid is listed first in the recipes because it's the first ingredient to add to the bottom of the pitcher. Overall, I really like this blender so far. The only thing I am wondering is if the 64 oz tall pitcher would help pull the ingredients down to the blade a little better because I almost always have to use the tamper for thicker blends. The reason I didn't get the 5200 with tall pitcher was because it was over $100 more than I paid for this one and didn't have a pulse button. I also didn't like that you have to turn the dial to 10 and also flip on the "high" switch to blend on high. Lastly, I thought I'd like having the preset options, which the 5200 didn't have, but have since found them unnecessary. UPDATE: After using this blender for about a month, I have learned the proper ratio of frozen fruit and liquid to get my smoothies perfectly smooth and creamy using the smoothie preset option. I use the blender to make smoothies 99% of the time so I don't really use the other preset options. As I continue to use it, my ability to identify the proper ratio of ingredients to get the desired final consistency is improving. Overall, I'm loving this blender!

This was a gift for my wife. I almost bought the Costco Alta Pro which is also very nice, but this blender was better. Here’s why: it was on sale for less, it had three programs instead of two on the Alta, and the container was 48oz and better for personal 12oz smoothies than the 64oz Alta container. She loved the smoothie program and felt it blended her smoothies better than our previous Vitamix from Costco, similar to Alta Pro. The 64oz container is better for family size blends of 16oz or more. But for personal blends, this is the one to get! Highly recommended, Vitamix blenders are worth it for the long lasting power and durability.

I received my vitamix two days ago. Made my first smoothie last night. It's pretty good. Only thing that I don't like is it can get pretty loud at high speeds. However it'll get the job done

Not only does it make nice smoothies but we found that it can mill grain. We were going to buy a grain mill but note we don’t need one, so that saves us space and money. It’s such a powerful blender. We make peanut butter with it! It’s stinking loud though.

It’s perfect for feeding tube food! Blends so well I couldn’t ask for a better or smoother mixture to not clog my feeding tube!

After the drive socket on my ninja blender stripped out, I decided to try the vitamix since it was so highly recommended. I was a bit skeptical since I felt the multiple blades mixed everything from top to bottom very well compared to mixers with the blades only in the bottom. Videos showed Vitamix doing an amazing job blending smoothies so I got it. This one that I got can't even blend spinach. It does not pull the leaves down to the blades like I expected it. Adding water helped some but it starts out at what seems like a normal speed then suddenly speeds up to the point where it seems like it will blow up and the motor smells like it's burning. After finally getting the spinach to blend I tried adding frozen pineapple chunks to see how that would do. That would blend for a second, then seem to jam. I had to keep stirring it, then blending, then it would jam then I'd stir again until once again it would speed up super fast and sound like it was going to explode. I will return this and try the more expensive model and see how that does but for now, I feel like my old ninja did a way better job with the multiple blades than this piece of junk.

This is a very expensive but also very high quality blender so you really get what you pay for. The cup only holds 6.5 cups but I was able to fill it full and blend successfully unlike other larger blender cups where my blender struggled on a full cup. Also, if it were any taller given the base it wouldn’t fit under the cupboards whereas this one does for a standard cupboard clearance. It has three blender options as well as a manual setting where you can crank it from low to high. There is not cleaning function but you can still clean it just use the manual settings. My favourite feature is the supplied masher that ensures you never stick a spoon in your blender again causing chaos. It’s a great product and I highly recommend.

Wow this blender works great! Very good quality. I have a feeding tube so I need to blend my food. I can blend anything, nuts, potatoes, roast, salmon with skin on. I still strain it as I can't risk clogging my tube, it does catch things but they are very very small. I have used it a lot already, so I have really tested it. I highly recommend

I love the size and you cannot hear the noise. It’s very smooth. I really like it. It’s worth it buying it.! and I like it. It’s very easy for my kids to use it.

Vitamix 510. Très satisfaite de mon achat! J’apprécie beaucoup que les légumes deviennent en une belle purée lisse pour un potage et les fruits pour faire un dessert aux fruits! Le moteur est puissant et efficace!

I have a perfectly good blender: a Braun, not much used, from the 1980s. Fine for banana smoothies. But I now needed a more robust piece of equipment to puree meat dishes for someone suffering dysphagia. That meant blending seafood, chicken, turkey, hamburg, and the like (though I’ve not tried pork yet) with a variety of cream soups and sauces. The Vitamix met ever challenge so far. Yes you need to feed it liquid, bouillon say, in addition to the soup. Yes sometimes it made loud noises of effort, enough at one high speed to force a reduction or drive me from the kitchen. Once the unit just stopped: the chewing effort too much – but 45 minutes later, it reset, so plus more fluid, and it performed well. Eventually it transformed everything into a smooth paste. In short it has proved very able. I can manufacture all sorts of protein dishes to suit the palate of a distressed swallower. Oh and it does make a great banana smoothie as well. So it’s expensive, I think overpriced. Not perfect: it has to be closely monitored to ensure it doesn’t get overloaded. But on the whole it does a fine job. It met my needs admirably.
