I received this Vitamix last week and have used it every single day. It's by far the best blender I've ever owned. My kids love to help me make smoothies every morning, and it's easy for them to work the controls. The buttons are very simple and smooth, and the power behind this machine mixes everything in a matter of seconds. Our favorite feature is the auto clean option. It makes cleanup so easy being able to fill it with water and soap and run it for a minute. Can't wait to make soups and batters with it. It makes healthy eating more accessible. I highly recommend this Vitamix! It is 100% worth the value and you can't put a price on good health!

Vitamix A2500 was purchased after I have gone through so many brands and finally decided to try Vitamix. I called one of their customer service to advise me between the 2500 and 3500, we both agreed that 2500 will do the job, especially since 3500 was out of stock. The agent herself assured she uses the same blender and she gets the blending done. I have not regretted my choice, I purchased extra 2 containers- one dedicated to smoothies and the other a 48oz dry container. My only concern is the burning cable smell when you use the blender, other than than, it all good so far.

It’s very versatile and offers so much power but can also do things you wouldn’t expect like dice an onion. I love the look of it on my counter and how simple it is to use. I really appreciate the presets and the digital timer display as well. I have the perfect blend app so I can connect to Bluetooth and add tons more presets for different recipes in the app and it makes using it more enjoyable. Definitely everything I could need in a blender plus some and the ten year warranty is awesome

After years of occasionally using a family members vitamin we finally purchased our own and are so excited to have our own now for our own daily smoothies and the other amazing things we will get to use it for! Have owned it for a few days now and have already used it at least twice a day.

I just purchased an cr A2500 and received it today. It looked just like a new one and I made a grape banana spinach smoothie. It is so smooth and my husband and mother in law even my two year old daughter love it so much. I will try some more recipes. Really happy to enjoy this one and it is definitely a life changing machine.

In love with this VITAMIX. The A series is certainly an investment but it makes sense if VITAMIX is committing to this series. I have a lot more experimenting to do but so far I’ve made the smoothest smoothies I’ve ever had in my life, and the creamiest pesto. But it doesn’t just blend. I made salsa that was perfectly minced with minimal prep, and used it to make leftover turkey frittata muffins. It chopped the leftover turkey chunks AND the kale to perfect pieces with also minimal prep. I did read reviews of others struggling to get the textures right with their recipes, so my advice is to reference the VITAMIX cookbook for recipes similar to the ones you want to try to get an idea of what order to put in the infredients and whether to blend or pulse. I did have trouble with the pizza dough recipe from the book. The container moved a lot at I got an E31 error message. Thought it was broken but it’s actually a safety feature that prevents the machine from running if the container isn’t sitting just right on the pegs. Readjusting the container cleared the message and we’ve ate living happily after ever after!

I just received my Vitamix A2500 and in two days, I have used it 5 times already! I transitioned to a Vegan diet about a year ago and was slogging away with soups, smoothies, "nice" cream, sauces and (dear goodness!) cashew cream using a Ninja. Slowly the Ninja was degrading, and I could not get my cashew cream smooth - just wouldn't happen despite soaking (overnight), boiling, (yes, even) microwaving, etc my raw cashews. If you cook Vegan (even sometimes) you know how frequently recipes have you making cashew cream! Smoothies would have "bits" of greens (spinach) and soups would be lumpy. The final decision that I needed to try Vitamix; I used my Ninja for a raw Vegan lemon cheesecake from my favorite cookbook / author and when it set up, the dessert was inedible all because the blending stage fell short! Who wants to eat a 'gritty' cheesecake? A bad blender is probably why many people think Vegan food is unappetizing. Pouring, assembly & cleaning is a breeze (so much better than the Ninja!) I personally like that the blades are affixed in the containers. I would often forget to hold onto (or remove) the Ninja blade for soups after blending, and it would "plop" into my soup pan splashing hot liquid everywhere) during pouring. I've already packed up my former Ninja blender (which is fine for the blending novice / dabbler) and won't be looking back! The Vitamix A2500 has delivered on everything it said it would be for my recipes (I ordered a bit skeptic); I'm honestly, blown away. The soup and smoothie "smart functions" are (definitely) necessary for me. The smoothie was 1 minute! I used the tamper once on the spinach and then done! My 4 year old loved it and wasn't "chewing" his drink. Romesco sauce was silk; asparagus & parsnip soup was liquid (green) gold, and the mocha spiced coffee (Mexican Hot Chocolate) tastes like you used a double boiler. Wow - that's all I keep saying after using this blender. The system is intuitive and I absolutely love the timer function (many of my Vegan cookbook recipes state how long to blend; probably because the author has a Vitamix!) This blender is surely an investment (and not one I made lightly!), but one I am thrilled I finally made. I also purchased the Aer Disc Container accessory (lemonade in minutes - no squeezing or peeling with 1-2 lemons; yes!), which I highly recommend.

After years of using a ho-hum blender that constantly struggled, we our in love with our new Vitamix A2500! Not only is it a workhorse countertop appliance, but it also looks great, so I'm happy to give it a permanent home on our kitchen counter. The controls are easy to use, and it does a great job blending everything from salad dressings to soups to pancake batter. We haven't had a single problem with it; it has handled every job we've given it beautifully. We use it a lot for smoothies, so the pre-programmed smoothie setting is particularly helpful. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our A2500. I was sent this product for free in exchange for an honest review. The above opinions are my own.

Ive been working with Vitamix machines in the restaurant industry for 20+yrs and have always wanted one for home. This past xmas my parents gifted me one! My 11yr old son uses it often on his own to create a variation of smoothies, which he sees as fun, i see as healthy stuff going into him on his own! Win! I’m hoping to learn more about soups/sauces, etc..as this thing is not just a smoothie maker, obviously. I do wish it were a tiny bit shorter, as it just quite wont fit under my cabinets, and that the plastic vessel was a bit thicker, even though it is high quality for plastic, as I’m often afraid a drop could break it. Hoping it will last a lifetime for home use, as these are an investment!

For a blender with a ton of bells and whistles I was a bit overwhelmed but I wanted to be sure I purchased the one that had all the benefits and not entirely too costly since I was not familiar with the Vitamix line of products. It has not disappointed, very functional and stylish. I don't like that the dial doesn't have the soft feel like some of the other models on display but I liked the digital timer and the smart features.
