Wow is all I can say! I have been a loyal Vitamix customer since the beginning. There truly is nothing else that compares to the power, sleek look, convenience, versatility & recipe enhancement! This new series is even better then I could have expected! A++ Vitamix team! Also - as a vegan I make a ton of homemade nut milks and nut butters on the daily. I can NOT imagine doing this without this machine. Seriously, I made creamy homemade hemp milk (see pictures) in 90 seconds with this A2500. THAT'S it! Life changing! I can't wait to experiment more in the kitchen! Disclaimer: I received a free blender in exchange for an honest review. All opinions and words are my own.

I just received my Vitamix last Thursday & set it up on Monday after buying all my fruits and so on to make a smoothie. After putting all of my ingredients in the pitcher I put it on the smoothie preset. It began working and after a couple of seconds it jumped and got extremely loud. I turned it off immediately and removed all of the contents. I washed it and dried it and put it away. On Tuesday morning I decided to give it another try. I put in my soy milk, yogurt and berries. I set it on smoothie and it began blending and as it worked for about three seconds it got louder and louder. I turned it off and decided to use the settings between 1-3. I didn’t take it up to ten. It worked fine. It was loud but not as loud as when you use the smoothie settings. As much as I love the idea of having a Vitamix blender, I don’t think that I will keep it. I spent a lot to have a quality blender and I certainly didn’t pay to have a blender jump up and get louder after a couple of seconds. It’s sounds horrible as if it’s going to explode. The sound frightened my dogs as it did me. I don’t know if this is normal for this blender or if anyone else has experienced this too. I just don’t think it’s worth keeping.

It is my first vitamix. The machine is great but it happened that the container could not be detected until I turned the knob to Speed 1 or the preset programme. I have also got the stainless steel container but have not tried it yet. I hope it can be detected. Fingercross. I purchased the blender to make black bean milk, hot soup, nut butter (haven't tried yet), and some Asian healthy drinks. The black bean milk was so smooth and delicious.

I bought my Vitamix machine on 11/30 received on 12/1 and used it yesterday 12/3 for the first time and it's absolutely amazing. The power this machine has is worth every single penny. I used it to make sea moss gel and I couldn't believe it. With my Ninja, I needed to blend for so long and would still find chunks with my Vitamix a minute and a half and done.

I have owned vitamix for about 6 years now. I just recently purchased the A2500. I love my vitamix. The only complaints I have is the A2500 doesn't do so well if you try to make nut butter and I can't connect my phone to the blender! Overall I wouldn't trade it for anything else

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 am beyond disappointed. Purchase the bundle during the Black Friday sales. The blending cup doesn't work consistently. I had to remove all the items from the blending cup and put them in the 64 oz container. There's no manual option when the self-detect isn't functional. I haven't had a problem with the larger container but it defeats the purpose of this product. The only positive is the ease of the return process.

I love Vitamix Blenders, but this new lid is terrible. The tamper has a harder time reaching the upper sides of the container with this plastic lid. I'm also not the biggest fan of the new on/off switch, I prefer actually switching it on instead of holding it down until it turns on. Might return it and switch to the legacy series instead.

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

This is my first Vitamix and I noticed the difference right away. The build quality is excellent. The A2500 is very user friendly, looks great on the countertop and most importantly the blend quality is incredible. After getting into açaí bowls and smoothies and trying the Oster it just wouldn't do it with the precision and ease of a Vitamix. I've read a ton of reviews about this machine and unless some people have received defective machines, I don't know why everyone is whining about this model. If the container is too big (not a problem I experienced), select another model. This machine was said to be extremely loud by some reviewers but I have not experienced a level of loud that would require hearing protection. If you are on the fence thinking this isn't a good blender, don't allow the few negative reviews to make you look elsewhere. It has a 10 year warranty. I have been using it every day since I opened the box.
