Vitamix Ascent X4 Blender, 48 oz., 5 Blending Programs, Black Stainless Metal Finish

Create smoothies, frozen desserts, hot soups, and more with the Vitamix Ascent X4 Blender. Finished in Black Stainless Metal, this countertop blender combines a high-performance motor with a versatile 48-ounce container suited to small and midsized blends of approximately 1–4 servings.

Five automatic blending programs provide convenient, consistent results for Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, Soups, Frozen Cocktails, and Dips & Spreads. For hands-on control, 10 variable speed settings and Pulse let you fine-tune the texture of each recipe.

The container’s design draws ingredients back toward the stainless-steel blades to create the Vitamix vortex. A dedicated self-cleaning program simplifies cleanup, while the included tamper, tamper holder, and recipe book help you explore everyday meals and new creations.
