Vitamix Immersion Blender: Is 2-Speed + Whisk Enough?

The black US VM0226 is a sensible choice for cooks who want two-speed control, an included whisk, and a blender for soups and sauces. Container fit matters: the opening must be at least 3 inches wide, and Vitamix limits liquids and purées to half the container’s capacity.
