Vitamix HQ is in Cleveland, OH. I don’t know where the parts are sourced/made. Their website says their products are engineered and assembled in the USA. But their customer service is US based and has been fantastic in the few times I’ve needed to use it.
They are expensive up front, but should last a long time as long as you take care of it.
The only other high-speed blender that is usually mentioned with Vitamix is Blendtec, but I don’t know as much about that company.

Most high-speed quality blenders like a Vitamix are not going to have glass pitchers. This is because the RPM/motor is so powerful, if you try to blend something like grains, or something else that is hard, you can crack the pitcher.

Check out Bedrock’s. My wife loves Chaco’s, but they were too clunky for me and didn’t like all of the straps. Been super happy with my Bedrock Cairns for the last 3 years.
