Barnard first began selling modern home products door to door, he probably never imagined that he’d one day revolutionize home cooking. But in 1937, he did just that by introducing an all-new product—the blender—called the Vitamix® machine. In 1949, when television had taken hold in American homes, W.G.’s son Bill recognized this new medium as the perfect way for W.G. (“Papa”) to demonstrate the Vitamix machine to hundreds of homemakers at once. He booked a 30-minute time slot on WEWS-TV in Cleveland and created the first-ever direct-response commercial. This commercial, which ran for several years in many markets, made the blender a household word. In response to the needs of customers, Vitamix developed new models that went way beyond blending, always backing up their products with excellent customer service. In the 70s, the company introduced all-in-one machines that could blend foods, freeze ice cream, grind grain, cook soup, and create exceptionally smooth juice from whole fruits and vegetables. In the early 80s, Vitamix expanded into the commercial blender market, producing machines used by Starbucks, Baskin-Robbins and the Culinary Institute of America. These innovative models quickly became the tool of choice for gourmet chefs worldwide. In recent years, Vitamix has continued to improve and update home machines, featuring more efficient motors and durable BPA-free containers. Today’s versatile machines can do the work of 10 different kitchen appliances and more than 50 different kitchen tasks—without any attachments. After 90 years in business, Vitamix continues to provide top-notch kitchen appliances. While the company introduces innovative products each year, every Vitamix machine is still built at the world headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. Today, this fourth-generation, family-owned American company remains true to its mission: to be the best blending-equipment company in the world.
