[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this blender several months ago. I am incredibly disappointed that it frequently overheats and stops working. It has overheated while blending different things, that were not difficult blending jobs.

I received the item today however it came dead on arrival. I unpacked the item, plugged it into electricity and filled up the cup with water and soup. Then I went and chose the smoothie program + hit the play button and on screen it first showed the second count as 00:50, then 00:49, then E31. I was googling what the E31 error mean and it says the motor is dead, that’s when you get this error. Few seconds later and while I’m reading online I started to smell something is burning, I was looking at the blender and smoke was coming out of it. I also have a video with the leftover of smoke coming out which I was able to capture on camera but can’t seems to have an option to upload a video in here directly, rather have to youtube first...

I received my blender last week and I can't begin to tell you how much I love it, my entire family for that matter. We are huge smoothie fans over here and on most days that's our breakfast. I like to get a jump on this in the early morning hours and I was over the moon with how quiet it is! That's a HUGE plus in my book. Nothing say good morning like a noisy blender going for 10 minutes. Smoothies made in record time and out the door we go! And the power behind this baby is AWESOME. No more measuring cups or waiting on things to blend before adding another ingredient. I recently had fun experimenting with a new recipe using pistachios and the texture came out so smooth and even. I can't say enough, It's my new kitchen must have! I was sent this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions above are my own.

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.

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!

This is my second Vitamix. I gave my other one away to a family member and upgraded to this machine and I love it! I mostly make smoothies, soups and other misc things. My favorite part is the cleanup...a little dish liquid and water, give it a spin and done1

I have the S series and I love it for its personal usage however, there are t8mes I need to blend a lot of things when I have company. If Vitamix would create both the 48oz and 64oz container for the sis series this would be great. Customers would be able to enjoy the 40 oz for personal usage and purchase a bigger container for family and friends separately. Trust me it beats having to purchase a ninja or any other blender to fulfill these needs. Vitamix is great and I don’t mind having the parts. It would be my everything machine. Thanks!

Hubby got me the A2500 with Food Processor attachment for Christmas and I am honestly in love. This is the most efficient and easy to use small appliance I have ever owned. I resisted for so many years due to the price - but it was worth the wait. I have used the blender at least 2 times each day since receiving it. I have yet to use the food processor but am so excited to do so and will update my review once I do!

I love my A2500!!! Previously, I was using a ninja and was unsure if I should spend so much money on a blender, but I am so glad I did! The blend you get is insanely smooth and the container is so easy to clean! This blender truly makes for the best blending experience!

I bought this for my daughter as my first grandson started eating solid food. I was surprised how much quieter is was than mine. Looks great in her modern kitchen. Was it wrong that I was tempted to give her my Explorian from 2016 and I keep the latest VM? Very sleek looking. Makes baby food prep to crushing nuts for vegan loafs a lot easier and faster,
