Alright, now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's get acquainted with what will most likely become your new favorite kitchen toy. After all, there's a reason it's caused quite a stir among thousands of Amazon shoppers — in a good way.
The dream is to fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. A good pillow can make that possible, and thousands of five-star fans say Cozsinoor is the brand you want. If you sleep hot, this set will keep you comfortable, fans report. It's filled with a plush down alternative (100% polyester) encased in a soft, breathable sateen cover, and its moisture-wicking properties help keep you cool and dry while you snooze. Hot sleepers, these moisture-wicking headrests have your name on 'em!
"I am very picky about my pillows. These pillows are so comfy, not too soft and not too firm," wrote a fan. "They are well made and I stay cool sleeping on them."
The fact that this No. 1 bestseller acts as both a blender and food processor is enough to catch our attention — but knowing it's currently down to its best price of the year? That puts it over the top.
With a 72-ounce blending pitcher and 8-cup food processor bowl, you'll be able to whip up frozen margaritas and salsa for a crowd. The 1500-watt motor also makes pulverizing everything from ice to frozen fruit a piece of cake.
Thank you, Jamba Juice and Smoothie King, but your services are no longer needed.
Get all of the good stuff with this nifty tool that was designed to fit in between and under your blender's blades.
"It's very weirdly shaped, but the different angles allow you to really get into the crevices of the blender bowl; not just the sides but under the blades as well," wrote a reviewer. "Other spatulas get torn up for this task, but now I can save them from a gnarly fate."
At $350 (down from $500), this is the best price we're currently seeing for this top-seller, and our price trackers tell us it's barely dipped lower all year. (The red model is at its best price of 2024, though the black model briefly dropped to $300 on Prime Day.) If you're experiencing some sticker shock even with the discount, just think of how much you'll save in the long run if you're used to shelling out for pricey smoothie-shop drinks on the regular.
Whether you're looking to cool down with a refreshing blended drink during the warmer months or enjoy an ethereally velvety soup this winter, this multitasker can do it all in seconds. With 10 speed settings, you'll be able to achieve the exact consistency you're going for, and the pulse feature allows for some texture, i.e. if you want a salsa that's on the chunkier side.
The aircraft-grade stainless steel blades were designed to pulverize just about any ingredient that crosses their path with ease, including ice. And in terms of versatility, you can use this blender for making ice cream, nut butters, dressings, sauces, dips, baby food ... it even churns out hot soup without the need for a stove, thanks to the friction from its blades. The 64-ounce container can hold a large amount of food, and when it's time to clean, just fill it with soap and water and run the machine for 30-60 seconds.
Functionality aside, the Vitamix's sleek silhouette will look great on your counter, and when you consider how many mediocre blenders you're likely to cycle through in a short time, it's a worthwhile investment. On that note, this blender still comes with a seven-year warranty for extra peace of mind.
Over 6,400 Amazon customers are in blitz — er, bliss — because of this heavy-duty blender.
"I was hesitant [about] spending this much on a blender, but wow," shared one convert. "I can make a buttery-smooth smoothie with just frozen fruits, [in] under 30 seconds. It was definitely worth the money."
"Heard so much hype about this blender, so I just had to see for myself," said another. "The thing is impressive. Instead of smoothies splashing around inside [the] container, it operates so smoothly. Also transforms fresh veggies into hot soup in minutes!"
"There is absolutely nothing I do not like about this blender," shared a longtime user. "Its strength is its simplicity, no gimmicky buttons or modes, just two switches and a dial. Over the past five years, we've used this blender to make soups, smoothies, nut butters and more — we've been impressed each time. This appliance has more than earned its spot on our countertop, and we're proud to show it off."
Several reviewers shared this user's main complaint: "The only negative is the noise when used on the highest setting," they wrote. "Some have described it as a 'jet engine,' and I have to agree. Still, no regrets. Great blender and worth the money."
"The biggest con is the fact that the jar isn't able to be thrown in the dishwasher," said a final fan. "What I do is soak it, throw soap in there and 'blend it.' Works pretty well!"
Leave no precious smoothie remnants behind, thanks to this Vitamix accessory:
