The Drink Machine Advance is Vitamix's commercial blender for smoothies, frozen drinks and shakes. Its 11.5 amp motor drives a stainless steel blade in a 48 oz polycarbonate jar, and six preset programs with auto-off let staff blend one drink with a single button press. It is NSF certified for commercial kitchens, and the spare drive socket in the box addresses the part that wears first. Against home Vitamix models it trades variable speed and a tall narrow jar for fixed programs and a wide, easy-to-pour container; against rival bar blenders it is known for thick frozen drinks and simple operation rather than fine control.
It checks today's price at every store, compares the alternatives and answers in about a minute.
Owners rate it highly and describe it as a dependable workhorse for smoothies and frozen drinks. Praise centers on motor power, the one-touch presets and easy pouring; complaints are mostly about noise and the lack of a speed dial.
