Vita-Mix Professional Series 500 Blender - 1710


Product Code: VITA-MIX-PROFESSIONAL-500

We are excited to announce the most anticipated household blender in over 10 years: the Vita-Mix Professional Series 500 (Pro 500) with all new programming. In addition to ultimate control of variable speed blending at 2 HorsePower (peak), the Vita-Mix Pro 500 features tailor-made cycles for smoothies, frozen desserts, and hot soups that automatically adjust power and speed before shutting off all on their own! Equipped with a pulse blending switch, a new cookbook and even more recipes, you will soon find that the Vita-Mix Professional Series 500 is more than just a smoothie and ice cream maker, but a total kitchen power house that will transform your meals to healthier and tastier creations! The BPA-Free wet blade container with locking lid is both durable and easy to clean, and the fingerprint-resistant brushed stainless steel finish looks sharp on any counter top. Made in the U.S.A.

Updated Blender Control Panel

Vita-Mix Professional Series 500 Close-up
The blender controls on the Vita-Mix Professional Series 500 are more intuitive and user-friendly than on provious models. Note that the center dial (right image) now has a 1 to High speed instead of having to flip a different switch for high. Use this same dial to select one of the Pro 500's 3 pre-programmed blending cycles: Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, and Soups. The Start/Stop switch on the right needs only to be pressed once when using the 3 cycles because they stop automatically. Enjoy perfectly blended smoothies, scoopable ice cream and sorbets, or delicious soup cooked right inside the BPA-Free blending container.

New Look, Same 7 Year Warranty

Vita-Mix Professional 500 7-Year Warranty
The Vita-Mix Pro 500 debuts the new brushed stainless steel finish for a better look and match to modern kitchens. The original ABS plastic body of the Professional Series is dipped in liquified nickel metal and then finished to a rust-proof brushed stainless steel appearance and treated with a fingerprint-resistant coating. Proudly keep the Vita-Mix Professional 500 on your countertop for all to see. The inside of the Pro 500 maintains the highest level of quality with Vita-Mix's famous 2 HP motor and stainless steel drive and blade system. The Vita-Mix Professional 500 is backed by the steadfast Vita-Mix 7 Year Parts and Labor Warranty!

BPA-Free Copolyester Blending Container


The Vita-Mix Professional 500 comes with the all new 2.0 Ltr. Eastman Tritan™ Copolyester container with Wet Blade and a soft grip handle. Copolyester is as durable as polycarbonate, but features improved sound damping and is BPA-Free and chemical resistant. The new 2 HP motor (the only part made outside the U.S.A) runs cooler and quieter than older models and offers more than enough power to handle heavy day-to-day use. Each unit also comes with an accelerator tool, which is a long black tamper that can fit inside the opening on top of the rubber lid. Use the accelerator tool for your most serious applications, which require additional pressure, or for softly blended mixtures such as salsas, that must be blended on the very lowest setting.

Recipe Book And User Guide


The Vita-Mix Pro 500 comes with a new "Let's Get Cooking" CD cookbook with over 350 gourmet chef-inspired recipes tailor made for your new Vita-Mix blender including ingredients, blending settings and nutritional information. Also included is a one-hour DVD instructional video on proper use and maintenance of your new unit.

Juicing


When you juice whole foods in the Vita-Mix Professional 500, the cell walls of whole fruits and vegetables are pulverized. You get the delicious juice and all of the nutritious whole food fiber. Unlike a juice extractor that discards the pulp, the Pro 500 starts with the whole fruit or vegetable and, delivers all the health benefits of both the juice and the fiber. The Pro 500 has the motor power, speed, container and blade design to make it happen smoothly by pulverizing the whole food fiber and breaking it into microscopic pieces that are easy to digest. You get a creamy, smooth juice full of fiber with no fiber “feel”!

Hot Soups


Cooking soups in the Professional Series starts with fresh, whole produce and in 4 to 6 minutes you’ll get a steaming hot soup complete with all the nutrients. The Professional Series blades turn so fast they generate enough friction to bring soup up to serving temperature. Simply toss in the ingredients identified in the recipe, secure the lid, flip the switch, and you’ll experience a delicious, whole vegetable soup with no peeling or seeding required! To make a chunky soup, cooked meat or seafood may be added on low speed during the last few seconds. The Vita-Mix Professional does not stop at soups! You will be making lump-free sauces, gravies and puddings almost effortlessly. Fresh or canned fruits can be turned into delicious fruit syrups to use on ice cream, pancakes or waffles.

Wet Chopping


The Vita-Mix Professional 500 is designed for grinding foods that contain moisture such as nuts and meat. The precision-crafted stainless steel blades draw the mixture down and into the blender for proper processing and do all the work for you.  Water draws the item into the blades resulting in a uniform chop. The type of chop, whether coarse or fine, is determined by the speed selected on the Variable Dial. With wet chopping, you can easily prepare vegetables for soups, salads, stir-frying, side dishes and coleslaw. Wet chopping is also the recommended preparation for all raw vegetables where a uniform chop is required (e.g., salsa). However, when wet chopping ingredients for salsa, the moisture released by the vegetables is sufficient for the vegetables to circulate into the blades.

Dry Chopping


Dry chopping is used for such things as carrots, olives, nuts, coconut, onions, eggs and cheese. With the Professional Series, these tasks are quick, easy and require little cleanup. For best results, chop only one cup at a time. You decide how coarse or fine you want the finished product by adjusting the Variable Speed Dial. The faster the speed...the finer the chop. Remember, the precision–crafted stainless steel blades do all the work, so you don’t have to. You can even combine some items used in the same recipe to save more time. Vita-Mix strongly recommends using the Dry Blade Assembly if dry chopping or dry grinding is primary purpose for your Vita-Mix Professional. You can either change it out with the included Wet Blade, or you can purchase an additional blending container with its own dry blade for the ultimate convenience.

Dry Grinding


The Vita-Mix Professional 500 is designed for grinding whole grains, beans, rice and coffee. Freshly-ground flours take only 1 minute in your new Professional Series. Take whole wheat berries, such as hard red, soft winter white or Golden 86 and turn them into wonderful fresh breads, rolls and hot cereals. Even beans, rice and tapioca are easily ground into flours for use in gluten-free recipes. Grinding your own grains will give you all the nutritional benefits of fiber-rich, preservative-free homemade bread.

Smoothies


One of the most amazing desserts you'll make in your Vita-Mix Professional 500 is a delicious frozen treat. And what's even more amazing is that you'll make it in under a minute! Frozen desserts start with a frozen fruit ingredient. The secret is the high performance precision-crafted stainless steel blades that crush and cut up frozen ingredients in seconds. The blade action produces a larger frozen surface area that releases coldness. The Professional Series works so fast that it all happens in about 30 seconds. And there's no time for the mixture to melt. With the help of the accelerator tool, the mixture actually refreezes itself instantly and creates a smooth and scrumptious soft-serve frozen treat.

Kneads


Start with grains from your freezer and turn them into fresh baked bread from the oven. Yes the Professional Series even kneads dough so you won't ever have to touch it. Making bread from start to finish is so quick and easy, you can make healthy, preservative-free bread fresh daily. Bread made the Professional Series way is superior to commercially produced white bread in many different ways...more dietary fiber, more vitamins and fabulous, fresh, home-baked taste!
