Overview
['The Vitamix 073495 sits near the top of what Vitamix offers in a home kitchen context. At 1500 watts, this is the highest motor output among the Vitamix models in this comparison group, paired with touch controls, 10 speeds, and stainless steel blades. The brushed stainless colorway and zinc jar material point to a premium build intended to last years.', 'The machine is substantial at 14.3 pounds and 9.75 by 7.75 by 17 inches. That weight reflects a solid motor housing and high-quality construction. At 17 inches tall, clearance under upper cabinets is worth measuring before buying. The zinc jar is an unusual material choice that sets this apart from Tritan or glass alternatives.', 'At $749.95, this is among the highest-priced residential blenders available. The 4.6-star rating from 174 buyers reflects genuine satisfaction, though for a machine at this investment level you will want to read those reviews carefully. No monthly sales data suggests this is a specialty purchase rather than a volume seller.']
Performance notes
The 1500W motor is well above the power needed for any standard home blending task, from crushing ice to making nut butters and hot soups. Touch controls at 10 speeds allow fine-grained adjustment. The 9.75 by 7.75-inch base footprint is wide. Stainless steel blades paired with a zinc jar suggest a construction philosophy focused on durability over light weight. Runs on 120V standard US power.
What buyers say
A 4.6-star average from 174 reviews is a positive signal, and buyers at this price point tend to write more detailed, considered feedback. The absence of monthly sales data is typical for ultra-premium machines where purchase decisions are deliberate. Those who buy it appear to be genuinely satisfied with the machine's performance relative to the price.
What makes the Vitamix 073495 worth $750 compared to the $400 to $500 Vitamix models?
The 073495 adds 1500W versus the 1380W in lower-tier Vitamix models, and it upgrades to touch controls, a zinc jar, and a brushed stainless finish. The practical performance difference between 1380W and 1500W is modest for most home tasks, so the premium is partly about build materials and aesthetic. If you want the best-constructed Vitamix for long-term daily use, the upgrade can be justified. If you blend smoothies a few times a week, a lower-tier Vitamix will likely meet your needs.
What is a zinc jar and how does it compare to Tritan?
The zinc jar material listed here is an unusual specification. Most high-end blenders use Tritan copolyester, glass, or stainless steel containers. Zinc in this context may refer to a metal-alloy composite or could be a specification labeling variant. Before purchasing, confirm the jar material directly on the Vitamix product page or Amazon listing to understand the exact construction and care requirements.
Will this fit under standard kitchen cabinets?
At 17 inches tall, this blender is taller than many standard under-cabinet clearances, which typically run 16 to 18 inches. Measure the gap between your counter surface and the bottom of your upper cabinets before buying. Many Vitamix owners store the machine outside the cabinet space or on an open shelf to avoid the height restriction.
