The Vitamix 7500 is a straightforward, full-size blender with a large capacity, 64-ounce main jar. It has a 2-part lid, so you can add ingredients mid-blend or use the tamper without taking off the lid. It doesn't have any automatic blending programs but offers a wide range of speed settings. Its components aren't dishwasher-safe, but it's easy to wash by hand.
Our Verdict
The Vitamix 7500 is superb for multi-purpose use. This well-built, premium-looking blender can easily crush snow-like ice and blend silky smoothies. It can also hot blend, which is nice. It produces sticky, spreadable almond butter that's the slightest bit grainy, and it doesn't leave any unprocessed chunks behind. The lid, container, and tamper aren't dishwasher-safe; however, they can be hand-washed for a quick and easy clean-up. This blender doesn't have many extra features or components, but it has an impressive performance.

The Vitamix 7500 is excellent for single-serve smoothies. It makes a very smooth puree with small batches of fibrous ingredients, so smoothies with fruit or leafy greens turn out silky-smooth. However, it's not that easy of a process: it requires a few minutes of blending, and when you're working with small batches, ingredients splash up the sides of the jar. You need to stop blending and scrape the sides with a spatula to get the best results.

The Vitamix 7500 is fantastic for multiple servings of smoothies. Its 64-ounce pitcher can fit enough for a big batch, and your smoothies will turn out nearly perfectly smooth, even if you add fibrous ingredients like kale or blueberries. It easily makes snow-like crushed ice, so ice cubes or frozen fruit are no problem. It's not dishwasher-safe, but it's easy to clean by hand.

The Vitamix 7500 is outstanding for crushing ice. Thanks to the pulse mode, you can make snow-like ice in around 30 seconds, which is great for making frozen drinks. It's very easy to use, although it would be even easier with an automatic pulse or ice crush mode.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The Vitamix 7500 blender comes in three different color variants: Black, Red, and White. We tested the Red model but expect the other variants to perform similarly.
You can also purchase this blender with several different accessories, including a 32-ounce container, a 20-ounce cup container, and a scraper accessory. We only tested the 64-ounce container, and these attachments may perform differently.
Compared To Other Blenders
The Vitamix 7500 is a pretty straightforward yet very versatile full-size blender. It doesn't have any blending programs and isn't Bluetooth-compatible like some of Vitamix's other models, like the Vitamix A2300. However, it performs well with a variety of uses and can easily make well-blended smoothies, soups, nut butter, and snow-like crushed ice. It comes in several different colors, and its 64-ounce main jar is suitable for making large batches of your favorite foods.
If you're looking for other options, take a look at our recommendations for the best blenders, the best blenders for smoothies, and the best Vitamix blenders.
The Vitamix 5200 is a little better than the Vitamix 7500. The 5200 blends small batches of fibrous ingredients faster and more easily, making it better for single-serve smoothies. It's easier to use for nut butter and is also lighter. On the other hand, the 7500 is quieter and makes more uniformly crushed ice.
The Vitamix 7500 is a bit better than the Vitamix Professional Series 750. The 7500 is easier to use for recipes like nut butter, is quieter, and has a sturdier build quality. That said, these blenders perform similarly overall, and the 750 has a few automatic blending programs.
The Vitamix 7500 and the Vitamix 5300 are very similar, but the 7500 has a slight edge because it's better built and significantly quieter. That said, the 5300 does a much better job processing small batches of fibrous ingredients, so it's better suited for making single-serve smoothies.
The Vitamix 7500 is a bit better than the Vitamix Explorian E310. It's slightly better built and has a bigger 64-ounce capacity. It's better for ice-crushing and much quieter when it's running. The Explorian is better suited for making nut butter and is better at processing small batches of fibrous ingredients for recipes like single-serve smoothies. Unlike the 7500, its jar and lid are also dishwasher-safe.
The Vitamix A3500 comes with more features than the straightforward Vitamix 7500. The A3500's control panel gives you access to a timer and several preset modes. It has a self-clean program and is dishwasher-safe, unlike the 7500. As it's part of Vitamix's Ascent series, you can purchase different jars for the A3500 that use Self-Detect technology to adjust the settings based on their size. The A3500 is also Bluetooth-compatible, and you can use its companion app to access even more preset modes. That said, the 7500 still has an outstanding overall performance.
The Vitamix A2300 has more features than the Vitamix 7500. The A2300 comes with a self-clean program and timer and is dishwasher-safe, unlike the 7500. It's a little easier to use for small batches of ingredients, so it's more suitable for single-serve smoothies. You might prefer the 7500's straightforward design, and it makes less noise when it's running.
The Vitamix A2500 has more features than the Vitamix 7500, but they perform pretty similarly overall. The A2500's controls include automatic blending programs and a digital blending time indicator. Its jar is dishwasher-safe. However, you might like the 7500's simpler controls. It's quieter and makes more uniformly crushed ice.
The Vitamix 7500 is a bit better than the Vitamix Explorian E520. The 7500 is sturdier and much quieter when it's running. The Explorian's 48-ounce main jar offers better performance for some uses, like processing small amounts of fibrous ingredients. It's also better for making nut butter, but the 7500 is great for that purpose, too.
You might prefer either the Vitamix A3300 or the Vitamix 7500. They perform similarly overall, but the A3300 is better for small batches of fibrous ingredients, so it can make silkier single-serve kale smoothies. It's marginally quieter, and its components are dishwasher-safe. It also has more extra features, like automatic blending programs. On the other hand, the 7500 has simpler controls you might prefer.
The Vitamix 7500 is better than the NutriBullet Blender Combo. The Vitamix has a better build quality and can crush ice. It also does a much better job of making nut butter. On the other hand, the NutriBullet does a better job of processing small batches of fibrous ingredients.
The Vitamix 7500 is better than the KitchenAid K150. The Vitamix has a better build quality and larger capacity, and it's easier to clean by hand. It makes a smoother blend with fibrous ingredients and more snow-like crushed ice and is easier to use for thicker recipes like nut butter. However, the KitchenAid is a smaller, lighter, quieter blender.
The Vitamix Venturist V1200 and the Vitamix 7500 are very similar. However, a few design features set the Venturist apart, including a programmable timer and a clear lid for the main jar. The 7500 is significantly quieter.
The Vitamix 7500 is better for most purposes than the KitchenAid K400. The Vitamix is better built and much easier to use for thicker recipes like nut butter or hummus. It's also easier to clean by hand and quieter when it's running. The KitchenAid makes a smoother blend with small batches of ingredients like kale, so it's better for single-serve drinks like smoothies.
The Vitamix 7500 is better than the Ninja Mega Kitchen System for most uses. The Vitamix is much sturdier and quieter and performs better for most uses. It's also easier to clean by hand. However, the Ninja comes with personal jars that can produce a smoother blend when you're working with small batches of fibrous ingredients.
The Vitamix 7500 is a better full-size blender than the Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher System. The Vitamix is significantly better built and quieter. It can hot blend and does a much better job of pureeing big batches of fibrous ingredients, meaning it can make a smoother recipe of something like broccoli soup. On the other hand, thanks to its 'Smoothie Bowl Maker' jar, the Ninja is easier to use for nut butter. It also comes with a dough blade.
The Vitamix 7500 is a better blender than the Blendtec Designer 725. The Vitamix is better built, quieter, and has a more versatile performance since you can use it for hot blending. It makes much smoother nut butter. However, the Blendtec comes with a personal jar for single-serve drinks like smoothies, and using that jar does a better job of processing small batches of fibrous ingredients like kale.
The Vitamix 7500 is better than the NutriBullet Smart Touch Blender Combo. The Vitamix is more versatile since it can crush ice and easily makes smooth nut butter. It's also better built and has a wider range of speed settings. On the other hand, the NutriBullet comes with personal jars for single-serve smoothies and has a few automatic blending programs.
The Vitamix 7500 is a better blender than the Blendtec Classic 575. The Vitamix is much better built and quieter when it's running. It produces much smoother nut butter with less effort on your part. On the other hand, the Blendtec has a bigger capacity in its main jar. Its blunt blades make it easier to clean by hand, and it's dishwasher-safe. It makes a smoother blend with small batches of fibrous ingredients, meaning it can make a better single-serve smoothie.
Test Results
The Vitamix 7500 blender is big. It's pretty tall and heavy, meaning you can store it directly on your kitchen counter or in a large cupboard.
This blender is extremely well-built. It has a very solid, premium feel. Unlike Vitamix blenders with a somewhat worse build quality, like the Vitamix Ascent X2, its motor base is made of metal instead of plastic.
The jar has a large 64-ounce capacity, which is typical for a full-size blender.
The 64oz jar (model 108300D) and lid are plastic. Unlike other models from this manufacturer, like the Vitamix A3500 or Vitamix 2500, none of the blender's components are dishwasher-safe.
This blender comes with four sharp blades that aren't designed to be removed from the jar when you clean it. You can service it thanks to its nut assembly, but removing the blades voids the warranty and is strongly discouraged by the manufacturer. They also aren't dishwasher-safe and can only be hand-washed.
The lid uses friction to stay shut, and it has two ears on each side to help hold it in place on top of the main jar. Unlike some Vitamix models, like the Vitamix Venturist V1200, it's made of opaque plastic, so you can't down into the blender. However, the middle of the lid is removable, and you can use the opening to add ingredients or use the tamper while blending. Note that the lid and the tamper aren't dishwasher-safe and can only be hand-washed.
The thick power cord is long enough to reach most outlets, and there's a stowaway compartment to store the cable when it's not in use, which is convenient.

It's fantastic for small batches of fibrous ingredients. The jar is wider at the bottom than blenders like the Vitamix 5200, so when you're working with a small recipe, like for a single-serve smoothie, ingredients splash around, and for best results, you need to use a spatula to scrape the walls of the jar. It's not as fast as some blenders since it requires several minutes of blending, but with enough time and effort, it makes a basically perfectly smooth blend with small amounts of ingredients like kale.
It does an outstanding job of processing fibrous ingredients at full capacity. When blending a big batch of ingredients like broccoli or kale, there's no issue with the ingredients splashing up the sides of the jar. As a result, it's an extremely easy, hands-off process, and the final mixture is virtually perfectly smooth.
It's incredible for crushing ice. Using the pulse switch, it makes snow-like ice in about 30 seconds. The only downside is that you must pulse manually, as it doesn't have an automatic pulse or ice crush program.
This blender is fantastic for nut butter. If you start at a low speed and ramp up to high, it's easy to use to make very smooth, spreadable nut butter. However, you do need to stop and scrape the jar's walls a few times to get the best results, so it's not quite as easy to use for nut butter as some blenders, such as the Vitamix Propel 510.
It's not particularly loud for a full-size blender, but quieter models are available, like the Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance or the Vitamix Ascent X5.
There's a wide range of speed settings, so you can start at a low speed and slowly ramp up to high.
It has simple controls that consist of an on/off toggle, a switch for pulse mode, and a speed dial. The dial has markings for speeds 1-10, but there are no set increments, meaning you can make small adjustments to the speed. The pulse switch activates the blender for as long as you hold it down and stops it when the switch is released. If you want a blender with automatic blending programs, the Vitamix Propel 750 has a similar dial and switch design but also includes a few programs, like 'Smoothie' and 'Soup.'
It's easy to clean. Running the blender with soap and water in the jar takes care of much of the leftover residue. You need to wipe the lid, inside of the jar, and blade assembly with a sponge or brush, but it's not particularly time-consuming or difficult. If you want something easier to clean, the Wolf Gourmet Pro-Performance's blades have blunt edges, which makes it easier to clean by hand.
