Preparation possibilities with the Vitamix Pro 500
The Pro 500 is perfect for the preparation of:
- Aromatic creamy green smoothies
- Fruit and vegetable smoothies
- Delicious vegan milk, such as almond or hazelnut milk
- Delicious ice creations (fruit and milk ice cream, vegan ice cream), sorbets (fruit ice cream), frozen yogurt & nicecreams
- Crushed Ice
- Soups, sauces, fondues and chocolates heated by friction heat
- Chunky salsa, Italian pesto, chopped vegetables, nut and almond flakes
- Dips, dressings
- Healthy, fresh, vital baby food
- Homemade nut butter, nut puree, nut milk made from almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, peanuts, etc.
- Chopped root vegetables (e. G. carrot salad)
- Grind whole coffee beans (from as little as 40 g)
Preparation quantities: Second container is unnecessary!
The long container allows a small diameter at the bottom, therefore the container can easily be used for quantities up to 250 ml. This applies to both available containers. If the height of the blender is important in your kitchen (e. G. because of low hanging kitchen cabinets), your choice will be the 1.4 l container.
The total height:
With 1.4 l container = 44cm
With 2.0 l container = 52cm
Note: Even the Vitamix 0.9 l container cannot process smaller quantities! The purchase of a second container for small quantities is unnecessary. The regular scope of delivery already equips you with the best possible equipment.
Which container to use?
The Pro 500 is a real beast. It follows the "one-container-for-everything" philosophy: it easily processes preparations from 250 to 2000 ml in one and the same container. Our Vitamix Pro 500 Anniversary Edition, lets you choose between a 1.4 l (see photo on the left) and a 2.0 l container (all other photos). The containers differ only in height - there is no difference in the variety of applications.
Operation and handling of the Pro 500
Operation: The Vitamix Pro 500 has an on/off switch (avoids stand-by power) on the bottom left. A blue light indicates whether the blender is on or not. The Jog dial is used to select the setting. Either you select one of three time programmes on the right or you select the required speed level on the left. There are two methods of starting the blender: Press the right button or alternatively hold down the pulse button on the left side.
The operating concept is more sophisticated than the one of the Pro 300 or TNC 5200. It is almost identical to that of the pro 750, only two time programmes are missing. Accidental turning on the blender is almost impossible. Subjectively, however, the buttons and the jog dial seem to be of a higher quality than those of any other Vitamix.

Cleaning
Cleaning the Vitamix Pro 500 is very easy.
Simply pour approx. 500 ml (warm) water into the container, turn on the belnder... done! After using greasy ingredients, a few drops of detergent should be added to the water before blending. Afterwards simply rinse out the container.Recommended accessories
The most valuable accessory for a blender certainly is our cleaning brush. The brush reliably removes food residues from the container and does not scratch it.
The cleaning brush is also suitable for washing dishes and drinking bottles. From our point of view, a real all-purpose tool that should not be missing in any kitchen.
Those who like to prepare thick liquids, such as ice cream or hummus, can make good use of the spatula.
It is used to get every last bit out of the container. Especially sticky, viscous preparations (nut butter, pestos, dips and sauces) usually cause problems. Unlike a spoon, which can scratch the container, the spatula helps emptying the container without scratching it.

Vitamix Pro 500 and its 3 time programs
The Vitamix Pro 500 is equipped with 3 time programs:
| Smoothie program | Smoothies, dressings and sauces - with unique creaminess in 60 seconds |
| Ice program | Perfect ice cream creations and sorbets in 45 seconds. Admittedly: This program is the least needed, since you have to push the ingredients back to the blade with the tamper while blending. |
| Soup program | Let your vitamix do the cooking for you! Prepare hot soups, hot sauces, hot fondues or hot chocolate in just 6.5 minutes. If the container is stuffed to the top, a second blending run may be necessary. |
Our favorites are the smoothie program and the soup program. Since many customers prepare smoothies on a daily basis, the smoothie program is simply used most often. The soup program makes sense - raw food soups made in a high-speed blender simply require a very long blending time. Due to the noise, it is better to leave the kitchen and close the door. If you are the kind of person who sometimes forgets that the blender is still running, resulting in a messy kitchen, we recommend using the soup programme - your Vitamix will then stop automatically after 6.5 minutes.
The Vitamix Pro 500 Anniversary Edition comes with:
- Vitamix Pro 500 motor block
- 1.4 liter or 2.0 liter container made of BPA-free Tritan (please select accordingly)
- Tamper
- Lid incl. cap
- Instruction manual in English
- Vitamix cookbook in German
- Cleaning brush
Vitamix Pro 500 Warranty
For purely private use:
- Motor block: 5 years
- Container: 5 years
- Tamper: 5 years
Vitamix Pro 500 vs. 750
With the similar naming, one naturally wonders what differentiates Vitamix's two top models. Essentially, the machines differ in their container philosophy and their designe. While the Pro 750 produces the creamiest and finest fibre-free smoothies we've ever had, the Pro 500 shows its strengths in a wide range of applications. Its small container diameter, allows smaller portion sizes. This is a decisive advantage, especially for thick preparations such as hummus or nicecream. The Pro 750 is also potentially capable of this, but needs an additional container, which then has a smaller diameter at the bottom, just like the container of the pro 500. In the end, you need two containers, depending on the preparation. If you have a small kitchen or if smoothies are only a small part of the preparations you want to make, we recommend the Pro 500. Of course, the price also plays a role, the price/performance ratio of the pro 500 is significantly better due to the considerable price difference.
Vitamix Pro 500 vs. TNC 5200
Both models look confusingly similar, and they are. Only the control panel differs visually and also haptically. Instead of 2 switches, as on the TNC 5200, the Pro 500 is equipped with 2 buttons that return to their original position after being tapped. This prevents accidental turning-on the blender as soon as the power supply is activated. With the TNC 5200, you also need to make sure to turn off the turbo after the blending process. Otherwise, the blender will start at maximum speed the next time it is plugged in. This is technically impossible with the Pro 500.
The Pro 500 also comes with 3 timed programs for smoothies, soups, and ice cream. These can be handy once you get used to them. Especially those who want to prepare soups in raw food quality (below 42 degrees Celsius) will learn to love this function. 45 seconds of blender noise is much easier to tolerate than 6.5 minutes. The time program prevents the soup to boil over, as the blender reliably stops automatically after 6.5 minutes. The smoothie programme can also be handy, as you can let the blender do its job while already starting to clean up the kitchen. After 45 seconds, a ready-made smoothie is waiting for you in your Vitamix pro 500.
Plus point for the TNC 5200 is the 2 year longer warranty, however, claiming the warranty requires that something is defective. :-) With one of the oldest and most sophisticated mixer models in the world, which was built for intensive and long-term use, this is correspondingly rare. Therefore, we would not consider this point when choosing between the two blenders.
Vitamix Pro 500 vs. E310
What do the models have in common? A huge preparation range - Due to the small container diameter, both small and large quantities can be prepared. The E310 reaches its limit at 1.4 liters, while the Pro 500 has a 2 liter container. However, the smaller container has the advantage that the blender is smaller overall and fits under any kitchen cabinet. Upon request, we can deliver the anniversary model Pro 500 with a 1.4-litre container instead of a 2-litre container at the same price (please mention in the comment section of the order process).
What distinguishes the Pro 500 from the E310? The Pro 500 has a more sophisticated handling. The Pro 500 has 3 time programs in addition to the manual control option... Definitely an advantage for comfortable people!
Those who also value haptic features will rather get their money's worth with the Pro 500. The control panel looks a bit more classy.
The anniversary model is available in various colors, therefore everyone is sure to find something that suits their taste.
Questions & Answers about the Product
Ask a questionTotal 17 question(s)
Good day,
i bought the model with 1.4l container from you
Now I would like to ask if I can use it to grind fresh chestnuts without keeping it busy for a long time, and I would like to ask what I should pay attention to regarding the correct speed or setting
Thanks in advance for the answer
Question submitted by Sabine on June 10, 2021 at 00:18 o'clock
Hello Sabine,
thank you very much for your message.
Basically you can mix chestnuts in this container.
However, please put the chestnuts in a bag beforehand and smash them or put them on a kitchen board, put foil over them and smash them. Whole chestnuts can damage containers if they are thrown against the container wall at high speed.
If you frequently process hard ingredients, the container will also become cloudy over time.
When blending chestnut pieces, start at low speed and then increase the speed.
The higher the speed, the finer the chestnut will be ground.

Hello ;-)
Pro 750, Pro 500 or e310?
I really do not have an easy decision, we mainly want to prepare smoothies, Nicecream and humus. Do the devices differ in performance? And do you notice that in everyday life? Preset programs also play a rather minor role.
Question submitted by Sven on May 19, 2021 at 18:26 o'clock
Hello Sven,
thank you very much for your message.
Well, spontaneously I thought of the Pro 500 in your case. This device is the perfect "middle thing" between the Pro 750 and the simple and compact E310. The Pro 750 has higher minimum preparation quantities with sticky, viscous preparations, such as Nice cream and hummus (600-700 ml). Purchasing an additional container always is an option. The E310 could possibly be a bit too small....
The Pro 500 can process both small quantities, and larger quantities. The three basic automatic time programs are a nice support for simple dishes and ingredients – a real all-rounder.
Love from Berlin :- )

Hello dear Green Smoothies Team,
I am wavering between the Bianco di puro attivo and the Vitamix pro500.
Vitamix, is known for its excellent performance.
It has a few watts more than the Attivo, do you notice this difference?
At the moment I live alone, I think the Attivo would be enough and practical because of the smaller preparation quantities.
But in a few year times… larger quantities might be needed?
If I'm going to make a major investment in a blender, should I go with the Vitamix right away because it might last longer and maybe offer a few more options?
Or do you guys think the Attivo will also get the job done?
Lastly, a small note: I would like to prepare a lot of hummus and ice cream, etc., perhaps even nut butter….
Thank you very much for your help
All the best
Question submitted by Hummuslover on August 28, 2020 at 11:11 o'clock
Hello Hummuslover,
Thank you for your question!:-)
The Bianco Attivo really has a nice design, is compact, and we like to call it a "travel blender". It's great for people who travel a lot and want to blend a smoothie anywhere.
However, nut butter, hummus and nicecream are not its core strength.
These preparations can easily be done in the Vitamix Pro 500.
There also are differences in the warranty periods: The Bianco Attivo offers five years on the motor block and two years on the container, while the Vitamix Pro 500 offers five years on all parts.
The Attivo is a good machine, but you will probably be more satisfied with the Pro500 !:-)
Please don't hesitate if you have any more questions.

Hello,
We want a Vitamix and are wavering between the 2300i and the Pro500. The advantage that you can process smaller quantitiesin the Pro500 appeals to us. Is the performance in terms of creaminess of the smoothies equally good? Or are the new blenders better in terms of performance?
Thanks!
Question submitted by Beck on August 27, 2020 at 02:34 o'clock
Hello you,
thank you very much for your question.
The creaminess of the smoothies depends on the blade tip speed. The A2300i reaches higher speeds because of the wider container with longer blades. However, the minimum preparation quantities are higher. A narrow 1.4-liter container has been announced by Vitamix, as the preparation volume for viscous preparations like Nicecream is quite high at 650 ml and there is currently no smaller container for the Ascent series.
We therefore would advise you to choose the Pro 500, its container is much more versatile.
Kind regards,
Your GrueneSmoothies.com team

Hello! I bought the vita-mix pro 500. Can I also grind flour and coffee with it! Or do I need a different container here? Thank you for a timely response. LG Christine
Question submitted by Christine Staabs on March 13, 2020 at 06:31 o'clock
Dear Christine,
basically, you can also grind ingredients like flour and coffee with the classic container of the Pro 500.
However, the purchase of an additional grinding container is recommended for 2 reasons:
1. During dry processing, the Tritan containers quickly become dull. Furthermore, the essential oils of the coffee can dull the material over time.
2. The ingredients are continuously thrown into the air during grinding, they do not heat up despite the fast blade movement. This can have a positive effect on the coffee aroma.

My children love "Naschkugeln" from dried dates, apricots, nuts and Co. Is the Vitamix suitable for this preparation?
Can it also grind nuts, grains, and coffee beans?
And do I also have a chance to just chop ingredients, like chocolate?
Thank you,
kind regards
Katja
Question submitted by Katja on November 1, 2020 at 20:15 o'clock
Hello Katja,
thank you very much for your question.
Very viscous dishes like energy balls are a challenge for high-speed blenders. Therefore, we recommend soaking the dried fruit in water beforehand – this allows the blades to process the ingredients better
Processing nuts and grains or even coffee beans is no problem for a Vitamix. However, if you grind harder foods in the container more often, it can lead to premature signs of wear (plastic becomes cloudy / blind)
The trick to chopping chocolate: Break the chocolate coarsely and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours. Use the opening in the lid to add the chocolate to the container. IMPORTANT: throw the chocolate into the blades as they are already spinning FAST (this will prevent the chocolate from getting warm and melting)

Can you prepare dough (for pizza, cake) in the Vitamix?
Question submitted by Daniel on May 1, 2020 at 11:57 o'clock
Hello Daniel,
Thank you very much for your question.
For very sticky and "heavy" doughs, such as bread or pizza dough, a high-speed blender is rather not suitable. Stir cakes, waffle and pancake doughs are not a problem at all, that's because they are more liquid.

Hello Anette,

Hello,
It would be intresting to know if you can also use the one container to prepare nut butter (almonds, hazelnuts). Does the container not become blind? Moreover, the blades of the so-called dry grinding container are shaped differently?
Can you actually replace the rubber sealing of older devices, or is there a replacement for it?
Thank you and best regards!
Manuela
Question submitted by Manuela on August 15, 2019 at 21:43 o'clock
Hello Manuela,
thank you very much for your questions.
Of course, you can also use the container of the Vitamix Pro 500 for the preparation of nut butter – This has the advantage that you can also prepare smaller quantities of viscous consistencies. Just know that preparing nut butter in the blender requires a bit of patience and experience!
You can find our instructions on how to prepare almond or nut butter here.
Occasional grinding will not make the container go blind. However, if you want to grind regularly/daily, then the container can turn blind. We recommend the Vitamix grinding container as an additional container – the blades are made of laser-cut stainless steel, just like the standard container.
You can replace the sealing or buy the entire lid with lid insert. These sorts of accessories can be found under Vitamix accessories in the shop.

Hi Amy,
thank you for your question.
The small to-go blender jars with the screw-off blade block do not come with the Vitamix Pro 500 – they are part of the Ascent Series.
The 1.4-liter container, the 0.9-liter dry grains container and the 0.9-liter wet container fit as additional containers. However, you are already so well-equipped with the standard container on the Pro 500 that these two containers do not really offer you any added value.

Hello,
first of all: thank you for all the helpful information on your webpages.
I have watched numerous YouTube videos on the differences between various Vitamix and Bianco blenders.
I stumbled across a video of the Vitamix E310:
Is it true that the E310 actually crushes raspberry seeds better than the 500 Pro????
According to the technical data, the 500 Pro should be ahead of the E310.
Is the statement about the cores really true?
And if so, is the consistency of smoothies in general a tad better in the e310 than in the 500 Pro?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Claudia
Question submitted by Claudia on March 9, 2019 at 23:08 o'clock
Hello Claudia,
thank you for the question.
We honestly haven't published a video on the E310 at all. There is probably some confusion there. However, there is a video on YouTube that claims the E310 has more power than the TNC 5200. We can't confirm that at all.
If you use, as in the video mentioned, mango and avocado (which do not appear in the ingredient list, but were used) as an ingredient, the smallest particles of raspberry seeds are simply covered. You can no longer taste them individually, because everything is so creamy. However, this works just as well with the TNC 5200 or Pro 500. So, it is rather the mango + avocado and not the blender, which lets the raspberry seeds "disappear".
Also, we cannot confirm that the consistency of the E310 is better than the Pro 500. That takes nothing.
Therefore, you can choose the model that suits you best with a clear conscience.

Very satisfied!Today my Vitamix Pro 500 arrived. The performance of the device I can not and would not yet evaluate here. But the team of Gruene Smoothies. I have struggled for a long time with the choice of the right device and neither at trade shows nor in forums I smartened up. Then I called the team of Gruene Smoothies for a consultation and was perfectly advised. Two models that I had shortlisted (already after ages of reading and comparing) did not fit my usage requirements at all! But the Vitamix Pro 500 will certainly! So make use of a consultation of the team and then have accordingly joy with your new device than to annoy yourself with a quick purchase at Amazon. The shipping took only two days and the device was very well packaged (in a double box) and thus arrived impeccably with me. Kudos to you guys!

Vitamix pro 500 blueOur 1st Vitamix arrived today and we have made a super delicious green smoothie right away. Very good result, we put everything possible in it, even nuts, and after 45 sec the drink was creamy and fiber-free, despite celery. I had hesitated a long time with this purchase, since I already have a multi-talent in the kitchen. But is not comparable. The color blue is also totally beautiful, a bit like petrol. We are looking forward and are excited for more. The advice in advance was also excellent and fast. Thank you from the Cologne area.

The Pro 500 itself is incredible. The volume is something to get used to but the power that is in the device is sheer impressive. Since I mostly prepare for myself, I opted for the 1.4l container - that was the perfect choice for me. -

Comparison of TNC 5200 and Pro 500That it should be a Vitamix, was clear. However, the decision between TNC 5200 (has my mother) and the Pro 500 (= TNC 5200 + 3 time programs) was not easy for me, because I wondered whether I will use the programs at all. In the end, I decided on the Pro 500 and after three months I can now say that the decision was absolutely right:
1. The Pro 500 can only be started when (a) the on/off switch has been operated and (b) a program or speed level has been selected and (c) the start/stop button has been operated. A faulty operation is thus impossible, and my three-year-old daughter does not get it ;)
2. Especially the smoothie program is constantly in use. In addition to the finest smoothies, you can also use it perfectly for nut milk and as a cleaning program.
Since the TNC 5200 and the Pro 500 are otherwise largely identical, the mixing results are otherwise identical and I would buy the Pro 500 again anytime. -

Satisfied all around ❤️I am absolutely satisfied with the Vitamix! And I am especially happy and satisfied with your customer service! The delivered tamper was slightly damaged. Without fuss or quibble a new one came to me immediately! There was even a small gift in the package! Absolutely great! Keep up the good work! And your brochure on smoothies I also find super good, as well as the recipe cards! Thank you!❤️

Vitamix vs. BiancoThe decision between "beauty" (Bianco) and "technology" (Vitamix) was difficult for me at first, but thanks to the highly competent and good-humored telephone consultation by Ms. Pyszka, I knew after only two minutes which features would tip the scales. For a rather small household and my desire to be able to make pesto, nut butter, and nut/almond milk in addition to creamy green smoothies - without having to purchase an additional, smaller container for this purpose (as with the Pro 750) - the Vitamix Pro 500 was the perfect choice. I couldn't be more pleased. Initial small experiments including ginger and matcha powder left me wanting more. I am now - after the first 10 days of "domesticated" smoothies from well-behaved purchased fruits and greens - scanning my surroundings for goutweed and other wild herbs and already looking forward to the cold season and hot soup time and of course the sorbets next spring/summer.... Thank you!!! :)

Good experienceQuickly delivered, unpacked, without know-how immediately started with green smoothies, previously rinsed container briefly. I used 200g spinach leaves, 6 oranges, 2 bananas, 1 lemon pure with water. It worked great, you get used to the noise.
Smoothie was really tasty and I was full. The rest I had refrigerated. I look forward to more green smoothies ...
