Overview
["The Vitamix 073291 runs at 1380 watts with 10 speeds, putting it in the serious end of the home blending market. The BPA-free Eastman Tritan Copolyester jar is the same material used across Vitamix's premium US lineup, chosen for its durability and resistance to clouding over time. Stainless steel blades complete the build.", 'At 9.6 pounds and 9 x 7.5 x 17.5 inches, this is a full-size countertop appliance that will occupy a permanent spot rather than moving in and out of a cabinet. The red finish is a signature Vitamix color that stands out on a counter, which buyers either love or find too bold.', "With 653 reviews at 4.5 stars, this model has accumulated enough feedback to provide a reliable picture of real-world performance. That rating at that volume is a good sign for a premium-priced blender. The $349.99 price puts it squarely in competition with Vitamix's own lineup variants and other high-end blender brands."]

What buyers say
653 buyers rate it 4.5 stars, which is a meaningful sample at this price point. The rating consistency across several hundred reviews suggests the performance holds up rather than reflecting a lucky early surge of five-star ratings.
Will the Vitamix 073291 fit under standard kitchen cabinets?
The blender stands 17.5 inches tall. Most kitchen upper cabinets are installed 18 inches above the countertop, which leaves less than half an inch of clearance. In practice, many owners find they need to angle it or store it on an open section of counter. Measure your under-cabinet height before assuming it will fit upright in place.
Does the Vitamix 073291 have a pulse setting?
No pulse function appears in the published specs for this model. The controls offer 10 variable speeds but no dedicated pulse mode. If precise pulse control is important to your cooking style, verify the current listing details before purchasing, as some Vitamix configurations may differ from what the spec sheet shows.
How does 1380W affect everyday blending tasks?
At 1380 watts, this blender has enough power to process ice into snow, blend frozen fruit smoothies in seconds, and push through thick nut butters without stalling. For lighter tasks like soft fruit smoothies or sauces, the variable speed lets you dial down to avoid over-processing. The higher wattage becomes most relevant when dealing with hard or frozen ingredients.
