I bought my Vitamix 10 months ago and after multiple issues with overheating, not blending even simple recipes it has completely stopped working. I don't blend heavy or difficult things, smoothies, hummus, plant milk mainly, but nevertheless, this machine couldn't handle it. Also, I reached out to customer service and support for a week before giving up and finally calling directly. Very poor experience all around. This is my second bad experience with Vitamix - my previous model wasn't much better than a Ninja or basic blender either - but I thought it might be a lemon. Either I've had two lemons, or this is just not worth the hype.

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!

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 bought mine a few month and honestly it is wonderful, you cannot compare it with anything else, it is expensive but it is worth it. All the features are great and does what it is supposed to do. The only thing I will say is that when you are doing frozen drinks it needs a little bit of help to crush all the ice, it can get stuck and you will need the help of the tamper. Having said that, I have never had such a powerful blender before, I love how it blends all the ingredients. I often make pizza sauce with san marzano tomatoes, garlic, basil, salt and pepper and the end result its beautiful, everything it is mix very well and you can't even see the little bit of basil that you will usually see if using another blender. You will see the difference on you first use, a bit loud but it is very, very powerful.

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!

I have been using a Legacy Series 5200 for about ten years and felt ready for an upgrade. I did a lot of research and decided on the A2500 over the A3500 because I felt as a long time user I would be more comfortable with the manual controls. I love the A2500. It is noticeably quieter than the 5200 and I think it blends a bit better overall. I did buy the additional 48oz container and I haven’t even used the larger container that comes standard yet. I’m glad that I did because I think the larger container would be way too big. I too wish that Vitamix would offer a choice of containers as the 48oz I think would be a better choice for most people. I love the preprogrammed options. I use smoothie everyday when I make my morning smoothies and it always comes out perfect without me having to do anything. I also use the smoothie program to clean it when I’m done. So far I have made smoothies and nut milks in it and am super impressed. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking to upgrade but who still wishes to have manual control.

I purchased my A2500 a few months ago and use it almost daily. Fresh hummus, soups, and smoothies are now featured regularly in my kitchen. The recipe book has some great options! The one thing that I got stuck on was the smoothie cup attachments not being recognized by the sensors on the blender base... but I found a tutorial video that shows how to match up these tiny little arrow markers on the cup and the blade base. Has worked like a charm since, so don’t be discouraged!

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.

I use my smoothie maker every day to make smoothies with frozen fruit and it works great. I prefer my smoothies smoother and depending on the fruit, I either use the predefined setting or use a few extra pulses to get the desired smoothness. I’ve also used for ice cream that was very creamy.

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.
