It took time, but the S30 also made almond butter. I also like the blade array's modular design, which acts as a coupling unit to fix either the 40-ounce or 20-ounce container to the blender base. Thankfully, the blade and jars are all dishwasher-safe. This makes it tricky to reach and clear debris from the blade's underside. One small fault in the Vitamix S30's design, though, is its blade assembly, which I found difficult to clean by hand. Within its glossy pages are instructions for creating drinks, sauces, batters, and nut butters. My favorite perk, however, is the thick cookbook that's chock-full of blender recipes and lovely color photos.

In the box is a large quick-start guide and detailed paper manual explaining which types of food should be placed in the jar and where (top, middle, or bottom). The company doesn't skimp on the included documentation, either. In the appliance's defense, Vitamix suggests that users start spinning the blades slowly until they "grab" ingredients then urges blender chefs not to fear pushing the motor up to level 10 once a vortex of food begins. So what does that mean in everyday use? Essentially, you have to become comfortable fiddling with the S30's control knob to settle on right speed for proper blending to happen.Ĭrank the dial to make mixes. There's no special button for, say, smoothies or iced drinks that other machines offer, such as the Breville Hemisphere Control Blender or Hamilton Beach MultiBlend. The drawback to this uncomplicated design, though, is that the S30 lacks any kind of fancy blending modes. If you want to perform a pulse rather than blend continuously, just crank the dial to the left (from the off position). Twisting the dial to the right pushes the control mechanism through numbered blending speeds (1 to 10). True to the Vitamix design philosophy, all blender functions are handled by a circular dial on the appliance's front face. The approach results in a device that's both simple to comprehend and easy to begin operating right away.
Thankfully the Vitamix S30 keeps its various parts and controls to a minimum, and that's mostly a good thing. A clear cap features vents that Vitamix promises will guard against spills during blending. While it's shatter-resistant plastic, not fancy tempered glass, the jar boasts thick walls and a large rubbery lid that clamps down over its top firmly. The S30's standard 40-ounce container isn't too shabby either.
