I am considering returning this. I’ve used vitamix for fifteen years but this blender doesn’t crush my ice unless I put it in already crushed. Frozen fruit had to be individually broken up and then I still get chunks. Even if I blend on smoothie setting three times. The stomper doesn’t go down far enough so it won’t push food into the blade. I’ve reached out to customer service about returning snd haven’t heard back. Have not been impressed to say the least.

I love that the Vitamix and Vitamix food processor is efficient and saves me a lot of time so I can bake homemade healthy breads and muffins using fresh fruits and veggies. I love how the food processor slices and grates quickly so I can make more homemade soups, smoothies and other healthy veggie meals.

I only have one complaint about my vitamix & that is it is so extremely loud!! My 2 year old is terrified of it & my daughter has to wear headphones. Other than that, it couldn’t be better!! It makes the smoothest smoothies! And the steaming hot soups blows my mind! Delicious, fast, healthy & easy cleanup! As a busy mom, this thing is a lifesaver!

Love this machine - I am mastering the art of making acai bowls .... I suggest this to all that really want to make amazing foods - Not just smoothies but SO MUCH MORE!! Life changing! Easy to use, easy to wash - great recipes on the site. I use it every day

Amazing. I have wanted to buy this for so long and I finally went for it and I am so happy!! There truly is nothing like it. You wont regret it. I use min everyday for my morning smoothie and post-workout shakes and I am excited to start trying a lot more recipes!!!

I love the heavy duty machine and the features I chose. It seems to blend everything it says it will, but my ice cubes do not completely get crushed. All other products do so far. I changed my ice settings on the freezer to crushed so that seems to work better. Its clean and sleek. I have made individual smoothies and even though the container is large, it does just fine. I'm waiting for my individual cups. They are supposed to come today. I can't wait to try them. Less water for cleaning :) I'm also anxiously waiting the smaller cup sizes. I have a grandson, now 8 months old and I want to make his food when he visits. I also want to make sauces, dips and dressings in smaller quantities. Hopefully those will be available soon.

I didn't realize how much I would absolutely LOVE this Vitamix. I have had two other blenders and didn't use them very much...probably because they didn't work the best. Best advice I read from someone else before I purchased my Vitamix...was that if you get a piece of equipment that doesn't work like you'd like it to. you won't use it. I totally agree! I am telling everyone...it's worth the price!

Almost 8 years ago I was given my first Vitamix 5200. I was still undergoing chemotherapy and in the process I had determined to change my diet. I loved using my vitamix and when the S30 came out, I bought one to make my mayonaisse and salad dressing. When the Mother's Day special started this year, a dear friend in Maine decided under my prodding to purchase the A2500. Every time we were together our conversation would always end up talking about food prep in my Vitamix versus her ******. While viewing the A2500 online with her and helping her to order it, I decided I needed to have one also! I wasn't sure I needed it. After all, I already had 2 different products from Vitamix I loved! The day my new machine arrived, we were leaving on a trip. Before we left I just had to make my mayonnaise and Blueberry vinaigrette dressing. This new blender totally surprised me! The wider base and the new attachments make this machine my new favorite!!! If you have a basic model or have had your Vitamix for years, you might not see the need for one of these new machines. I felt the exact same way, but I am here to tell you that you will be amazed by the difference. Thank you, Vitamix for this amazing machine!!

Bought my Vitamix machine a couple months ago and love how it works and how versatile it is in a lot of things from making smoothies, soups, ice treats and so many things to mention. I am still disappointed that the new smoothie cups is still not available because I was also looking forward to getting those too. Other than that, I still do love my Vitamix machine.

Powerful and works well. I have become reliant on this machine for my daily meal routine and use it multiple times per day. The wider canister is less efficient for blending smaller batches. Unfortunately, the motor is not quieter than past ones - which would have been ideal. But, please don’t let the suggested improvements dissuade you - it’s an incredible blender.
