I have not used all the features yet and am excited to use it for soups and frozen deserts soon. I have used it extensively to make healthy smoothies and am so pleased with the consistency of my drinks. It blasts it's way through kale and every kind of fruit or vegetable I give it. I do have a hard time with getting the cover off because it clips on which is new for me, but overall would give it a strong 4.5 stars.

Excellent blender - Professional quality. This blender is used to make many smoothies, smoothie bowls and even hot soup! Top quality and we are glad to replace our longtime Ninja (which worked well, but not the same. We anticipate longtime use and intend to explore new recipes.

My old Vitamix died several months ago (after 20+ years!). Hubby wanted to save some money and talked me into a "N...". After owning a Vitamix, the "N" just couldn't live up to his expectations. He had to eat crow and told me to go ahead and order a new Vitamix. He loves having fresh soup and really smooth Smoothies. In the long run, a Vitamix is worth every penny.

Putting your Vitamix on the counter to show it off would be great after spending over $700.00 to buy it but not the way the container reacts after only one month of use. The fact that this problem has been ongoing for quite awhile (and the most frequent complaint to Vitamix) makes me wonder. It turns a foggy grey - to clean it we started with the Vitamix cleaning method, then vinegar and water, bleach and water, denture capsule and water, CLR and water and finally a Mr. Clean magic pad and a lot of elbow grease. We are now using the Vitamix method after every use with warm water, vinegar, water and drying it by hand - not as we were cleaning it after every use in warm soapy water and air drying. The container is also not a warranty item and would only cost you over $200.00 to replace - makes the Vitamix a real deal. Wish I had known about this 2 months ago.

Love my new Vitamix! My almond milk is so much more creamy and thick, the blender is able to extract so much more out of the almonds. Even my 5 year old notices the difference! I have a smoothie almost daily now because I can’t pass up using my vitamix.

Out of the box, it would not blend anything with the blender setup and made quite a racket. I also purchased the food processor, so tried that and the blade spun quite nicely with the motor on. Turns out the acorn nut holding the blade with a friction fit on the blender attachment was not tight, and the blade was quite loose. I tightened down the acorn nut on the blender blade and now it blends. Maybe double check these on the way out of the factory, or tell us the torque spec for the acorn nut in the manual?

I bought my Vitamix A2500 a little over a month ago. I can't believe I sat on the fence debating for so long whether to buy it or not. The money spent is well worth it. I have probably spent the same amount on previous blenders which have broken all broken down.

I'm not convinced the new sensor technology on the A2500 is better than past models. This review is from someone who owned an old model of a Vitamin for 10 years. I loved my old Vitamix, and the new one is OK, but something about it doesn't seem as reliable. The new base is made of plastic and my old one was a sturdier stainless steel. The old one worked 100% of the time, but the new one is finicky when sensing the container and won't always run which is frustrating. My old Vitamin was a beast that handled almost daily usage, but I will be shocked if the new one lasts 10 years.

I had used my old Vitamix for 10 years. this year I finally decided to get a new one and trade in the old one! the one Vitamix A2500 is Superb!! I love it! I use it every morning to make my green smoothie. Love the pre-set smoothie function that take the guess out of the game. 50 seconds and I super yummy smoothie! cleaning is super easy. I still want to explore the other functions! Plan to use this one for another 10 years!!

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!!!
