Our Verdict

Vitamix A3500

Vitamix Propel 750

You might prefer either the Vitamix A3500 or the Vitamix Propel 750. The A3500 is much quieter and has a blending time indicator, programmable timer, and companion app. On the other hand, the Propel is lighter and smaller. Its power cord is much longer, and it has simpler controls that you might like better.
