Why you should buy the Vitamix Ascent

Delivering up to 1500W of foodie fun, the Vitamix Ascent has several blending presets and speed settings to choose from. Options include Smoothies, Hot Soups, Frozen Desserts, and a couple of other modes that are designed for set-it-and-forget-it immersion. Blend and speed settings can be customized with the easy-to-use touchscreen, which is also a breeze to wipe clean.

The Ascent connects to the internet too! Why you may be asking? With a Wi-Fi connection, the motor base can detect what size container is being mounted. The Ascent will then adjust power and speed settings accordingly. There’s also a programmable timer that will cut off power once the allotted minutes run out. 

At 17 inches tall, 8 inches wide, and 11 inches from front to back, you should have no issue finding a spot for the Ascent to live permanently, but it’s lightweight design makes it easy to pull in and out of your cabinets. We also thought it was a nice bonus that Vitamix decided to throw in a Simply Blending cookbook for some recipe inspiration.

Vitamix deals is they tend to end pretty quickly, and this one actually ends Friday night. Now is the best time to order your Vitamix Ascent. You’ll save $300 as long as this discount is in effect. We have a list of leftover Prime Day Ninja deals for you to check out too!

Apple Home

I previously covered the new Apple Home AI features revealed at WWDC 2026, which include several quality-of-life improvements, including auto-updating notifications, smarter camera search, automatic tracking and stitching of multiple videos for a single event, and higher-resolution recordings, among others. 

Like many Apple Home features, these features are only available to iCloud+ customers. However, at the event, Apple didn’t notify which plans will get access to these features. Today, we get the answer in the release notes of macOS Golden Gate beta 3, and you are not going to like it.
