All New Vitamix Propel Series 510 and 750 Review

So let’s talk about the new Vitamix Propel machines. Who are they for? What do they do? And with the other existing Vitamix machines, why are they here?


This is how i view the new Vitamix Propel series machines. if the Vitamix 6300 (which is the same as the Vitamix Pro 500) and the Vitamix Pro 750 had a baby it would be….the Propel. I kid you not, the Propel is a combination of the Pro 500 and the Pro 750.


On the left is the Propel 750 and it comes with the 64oz wet container. On the right is the Propel 510 and it comes with the 48oz wet container they both come with their respective tampers shown and the Fresh Blends recipe book. The Propel 750 comes with a 7 year warranty while the Propel 510 comes with a 5 year warranty.


Now that the Vitamix Ascent exists Vitamix is now creating two distinct lines of the full-sized machines because currently the entire line of blenders is fragmented.


So let’s talk about noise. The elephant in the room. In my testing the Vitamix Pro 750 on the right had a decibel level of 80 peak while the Propel peaked at 87 db so it was louder. You can hear this in my YouTube video presentation of the Propel Series models. The Pro 750 on the right is clearly quieter due to the built-in sound dampening materials.


The Vitamix Propel Series machines are designed to take the place of the Classic and G-series blenders which will be eventually phasing out. They were created to join the Explorian in the Good, Better, Best category and are great for a person who has an older Vitamix and wants to upgrade to a more modern model without spending too much, but there are limitations to the Explorian and the Propel models.

If you want quieter operation, more heavy duty build quality, digital timer, touch controls and a digital readout panel then the Vitamix Ascent A3500 is the one to go for.
