This multi use blender is a beast. Extremely well made and works even better. You can’t go wrong with this purchase and I would recommend it to everyone. Seems a bit expensive, but when you get it and actually use it, you will then understand why - American made and built to stand the test of time. I’m going to order one for my parents for Christmas. Thanks Vitamix

I've been familiar with Vitamix's blenders for a long time, and just received the A2500 as a gift. I decided on this blender over other Vitamix blenders because I was excited about the smart detect technology and the compatibility with the food processor attachment. When the blender arrived, I was shocked at how cheap it looked. Right out of the box there were some nicks on the plastic and the entire base is comprised of plastic pieces that don't seem durable. The see-through container and snap on lid, while I understand it's purpose, seems less durable than the black lids. The tamper is what I was most shocked about as it resembles a bowling pin, hollow and cheaply assembled. I've talked to other Vitamix owners about this and the consensus seems that Vitamix has decreased it's quality over the past few years. I'm glad there is a 10 year warranty. I was honestly hoping for more and wasn't expecting this level of disappointment.

This is our first Vitamix. We prefer the manual vs. digital controls of the fancier models and don't miss the extra few presets. I love being able to make completely smooth smoothies and hot soups, my husband loves being able to make crushed ice for cocktails. The food processor attachment is great and allowed us to get rid of four appliances with this one purchase — our old blender and food processor, stick blender, and ice cream maker. The one downside is it's LOUD at top speed, but the results are worth it.

I've had my Vitamix for a little over 2 years and I will never go back to a standard blender. I've made smoothies, blended mixed drinks, soups, sauces, salsas, even chocolate mousse. Every time they come out perfect. I know it's a big investment but you wont regret it.

We are not new to Vitamix. More than 30 years ago, my husband and I watched a demo at a large Home Show in the town where we live and were mighty impressed with what we saw and then what we tasted. The price was high, but we thought that the quality would be worth it. Fast forward 3 decades later, and it still worked! The stainless container had seams in it and a dispenser spout at the bottom, both of which required some careful cleaning. In any event, we decided it was time to upgrade, but the old Vitamix didn’t owe us a thing! After much research, several phone calls to Customer Service at Vitamix (and always a really nice and helpful voice) we bought an A2500, as well as an extra, smaller container, and are very happy with our purchase. Most every morning, we make smoothies, but I wanted to try all the buttons on the machine, so we got to work and tried some of the recipes on the Vitamix site. The biggest surprise was the Black Bean soup. I couldn’t believe that after blending the ingredients in the Vitamix for 7 ½ minutes, we were sitting down to a delicious, steaming hot meal without using the stove! I see more soup in our future! On Thanksgiving, the Vitamix made quick work of a pumpkin pie filling. All those delicious recipes aside, I think my favorite part is how easy and quick it is to clean the container, and there is nothing to take apart. Thank you for continuing to make such a quality product.

I bought mine during the pandemic. I had a department store brand blender. One thing I love is fresh gazpacho, I usually use three pounds of tomatoes along with bell pepper, garlic, bread, olive oil, onion and garlic and ice.. I would have to do this in three batches on the old machine and I could not walk away from the machine because the jar would unscrew itself from the bottom and product would be everywhere. The Vitamix machine, using a 64 oz container, I load up everything start the machine and walk away for 60 seconds and violas, nice, smooth delicious gazpacho and I don’t have to worry about the machine leaking or “walking away”. I’m 71 I bet the machine outlives me!

Vitamix is known for it's superb blending capabilities, but the new Ascent Series is unbelievably quiet compared to previous generations. I have owned a Vitamix for many years and this is the first time I can make smoothies while my baby and kids are sleeping (perfect for busy families). My kids love helping me in the kitchen and we all watch eagerly while the machine counts on the new digital feature for the smoothies and soups. It's extremely convenient on the mornings where I'm juggling 3 kids and trying to make breakfast and smoothies at the same time. We use our Vitamin daily and are beyond pleased with the noise reduction and digital count down in the Ascent Series.

I have owned my vita mix for A2500 for almost 3 years. I mainly make shakes in it, by that I mean 2-3 shakes a day, everyday, for all 3 years I have owned it. It has never missed a beat. The container is always clean and I have had no issues with any aspect of this blender. My shakes always include frozen fruit, oats, powder, and/or ice. Just as good as the day I bought it.

I bought the Vitamix A2500 in Black and I am so glad I did! After a year+ of debating and researching reviews and on and on and on... I decided to just go ahead and spend the money. Now, I don't have the kind of money where I can just go out buying expensive things, so this was a pretty big investment for me. I had high expectations of this product, but this machine is literally everything I wanted and MORE!!! Being vegan, I use this bad boy AT LEAST twice a day, no joke. A smoothie in the morning and Nana Ice Cream at night. The sound is loud during some blends but it's not ridiculous or anything. It sounds like any other blender. The cleaning process is crazy fast. Easier than even the NutriBullet is to clean. I can't compare it to any other Vitamix because this is my first one, but this design is so sharp and I haven't had one clumpy smoothie or ice-cream bowl. It fits perfectly under my cupboards on my counter top. I don't know how I was living without it, seriously. It's a great investment. Thank you.

I first bought the a3500 model and had issues with the touch not working at times. So when with the a2500 model expecting it to be the same but more features then my pro 750 that I ended up selling to get this newer model. The 750 pro is much better in my opinion in both quality and how it performs. The first issue is the container on the a2500 doesn’t pull the ingredients to the blade as well as my pro 750 did. I had to go back and forth with the variable speed knob to get ingredients to drop to to blade and a couple times had to push ingredients off the sides. This was just using it for my green smoothies. The pro 750 had no issues with this at all. Just started variable speed off slow and when up in speed and would create the vortex to pull the ingredients to the blades. Then the final straw was trying to make almond butter and yes added oil and took well over 35 minutes. My pro 750 did almond butter in 6 minutes. The quality also took a dip as well. Paddle switches on the a2500 don’t have the nice click the pro 750 does. Plus you have to push more then once at times to get it to start, or hard. Then when to look for the optional smaller containers at the local brick and mortar stores and found none, or in stock online even. Finally bought some on eBay just to have it not detect on the blender. So when to store bought another 750 pro and more likely the a2500 will be sold soon after doing video review of it and side by side comparison.
