Is the Vitamix Immersi-Prep worth it for a restaurant?

For kitchens blending 15- to 40-gallon batches, the 1,260-watt motor and 18-inch wand do work a home blender cannot. It is built for continuous commercial runs rather than occasional use.

How does it compare with a smaller immersion blender?

It is built for volume: a longer 18-inch shaft, a 12-foot cord, continuous run operation and a wall mount. Home models are lighter and less expensive but cannot handle 40-gallon vessels.

What comes in the box?

The blender and a wall mount. A pot clip is an optional accessory sold separately.

Can it run on 220-volt power?

No. It is a 120-volt model for US outlets.

How long is the warranty?

One year, which is short for a commercial kitchen tool.

How big a batch can it handle?

Vitamix rates it for vessels of 15 to 40 gallons, with a 40-gallon blending capacity.

About the Vitamix Immersi-Prep Immersion Blender

The Immersi-Prep is a corded commercial immersion blender built for big batches: a 1,260-watt motor, a 12-foot cord and an 18-inch stainless steel wand that reaches into 15- to 40-gallon vessels. It has three speeds with variable control, runs continuously for high-volume jobs and ships with a wall mount. Against smaller immersion blenders it trades portability for reach and endurance, and its one-year warranty is shorter than many commercial rivals offer.
