Review: Tough blender under heavy commercial use - It’s expensive and last about 2 yrs under very commercial use (using average 6 hrs per day, everyday). Variable speed knob is very nice in slowly breaking ice cubes to smaller pieces before high speed is used. It’s commercial grade so the blending power is excellent but that results in very high noise level. Someone standing next to you can’t hear you while it’s at high speed blending. The pitcher and lower blend unit can be cleaned very easily, but the area under the blade is difficult to get to. Wish it’s little lower in price though. Review: Powerful, Versatile Blender with Exceptional Performance - This blender is an absolute powerhouse! It handles everything from smoothies to soups with ease, and the results are always perfectly smooth. The motor is incredibly strong, making it ideal for both home and professional use. Cleanup is quick and easy, and it’s built to last. If I could give it more than five stars, I would! ## Features - Start/stop switch automatically returns to neutral position - Manually‐operated variable speed control - Accelerator tool - 5 Amp 6050597 - It is designed to simplify every task with either high or variable-speed blending ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071P9FYDS | | Best Sellers Rank | #80,313 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #144 in Countertop Blenders | | Blade Material | Stainless Steel | | Brand | Vitamix | | Brand Name | Vitamix | | Capacity | 64 Fluid ounces | | Color | Red | | Container Count | 1 | | Container Material | Plastic | | Control Type | Manual | | Controls Type | Knob and switches | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 140 Reviews | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 3 Years | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00653836841622, 00703113586279, 00703113628269 | | Included Components | Blender | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | Yes | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 9"D x 8"W x 20"H | | Item Type Name | Vitamix 62826 Vita-Prep 3 Food Blender | | Item Weight | 13.9 Pounds | | Manufacture Year | 2018 | | Manufacturer | Vitamix | | Material | Plastic, Rubber | | Material Type Free | BPA Free | | Model Number | 62826 | | Number of Speeds | 10 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Programmable | | Part Number | 62826 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 9"D x 8"W x 20"H | | Recommended Uses For Product | Blending | | Special Feature | Programmable | | Style | commercial | | UPC | 703113586279 653836841622 703113628269 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 120 Volts | | Warranty Description | The Vita-Prep 3 motor base is backed by a three-year component warranty with one year on labor.

Prep 3 is a workhorse, 3 horse power and has a 5 year warranty and that's huge since it is built to work in a commercial kitchen . It has an amazing cooling fan at the highest speed and can do many jobs back to back without having to let it cool down. There are manual controls-no bells and whistles but its amazing how fast it gets the work done ! (I have tried numerous blenders) A3500 has wireless connection and pairs with your phone and has 5 program settings and has 10 year warranty but it has 2.2. horse power and for me the higher horse power coupled with the cooling fan was very important . Prep 3 is 20.3" High and A3500 is 17" high, so that might be a factor if you plan to keep it on the counter top. **Q: What is the Voltage, does it suppport 240V ?** A: This is a 120V. **Q: Does this need a separate dry container to grind flours? Which models of dry containers fit Prep 3?** A: It best to use a dry container for flour. I use the same dry container I used for a the vitamix I bought seven years ago on my new Prep 3. **Q: What does this blender come with ? Tamper included ?** A: Includes (1) tamper, (1) blade, (1) cap... Do yourself a favor and add a sprocket, blade and a cap to your order so you have them as backups. Commercial operations like mine will require those. You will enjoy it, its a beast. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tough blender under heavy commercial use *by T***T on October 12, 2025* It’s expensive and last about 2 yrs under very commercial use (using average 6 hrs per day, everyday).

Cleanup is quick and easy, and it’s built to last. If I could give it more than five stars, I would! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like a Ferrari for the Kitchen *by S***N on August 5, 2021* This thing rocks. Easy to use, easy to clean. Has the power and engineering to make everything smooth. Gets all the little peanut bits in the mole and turns out a perfectly smooth sauce. Looks good and is easy to use. High end NSF carafe is tall enough to use for small amounts with the top off. Amazing daiquiris, the ice doesn't stand a chance. The blender can be used all night and never sounds like it is even remotely concerned. I bought the refurbished unit for a little over $300, a smoking good deal. We have been using it for months now on a regular basis with out a single issue. I highly recommend this blender. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vitamix 62826 Vita-P 3, 44 Oz Blender - Vitamix Classic Tamper, Black - Vitamix Clear Container with Blade and no lid, 64 Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/44808987-vitamix-62826-vita-p-3-44-oz-blender](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/44808987-vitamix-62826-vita-p-3-44-oz-blender) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-17*
