We are super pleased with our VITAMIX! At first I wasnt sure if it would get much use, but the entire family uses it every day. My kids make shakes and smoothies. I have used it to puree ingredients for my soups and dressings. Its truly a great tool to have in the kitchen, and makes cooking easier. And the cleanup is so simple on this durable piece of wonder, just add warm water and a drop of dish soap and run it. Or you can put it in the dishwasher. Its funny, yesterday my teenage daughter told me when she moves out, shes taking it with her! I dont think so!!!

Fantastic blender! I was hesitant like many other people have stated, but I decided to give it a shot since my other blender just broke. I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED! Peanut Butter in 1 min? YES PLEASE! Almond Butter in 2 min? HECK YES! Smooth smoothies? OH MY GAWD! I chose this model because reviews stated that the standard models can be quite loud and shake all over the counter. I am very sensitive to noises, and this is manageable. After speed 8 it gets "loud" but it's nothing near any other blender I've heard. My ONLY gripe so far... is that I can't remove the blade to get a good clean. So, I am left to trust the system of running the hot soapy water for a minute in it. Sometimes I feel this doesn't get it all (I've even tried using ice to get some harder things out of the blender). Thankfully my sink has a strong spray nozzle where I can blast a lot of the peanut butter residue out.

This is the fourth Vita Mix I've purchased. The first was in the 90's. When we moved, I gave it to my Daughter in Law and bought a new one for the new place. The second one had a little different style and I had that one for 10 years. During that time I bought one for our boat as I didn't like to haul the home one there on the weekends. When my husband of 49 years passed last year, I gave all our stuff to our kids and others. I just couldn't keep OUR stuff. I needed to start over, which included another Vitamix. I tried a different, less expensive brand thinking I really didn't need the Vitamix, but after the first week, I gave the other one away and purchased another Vitamix. I use it for shakes, smoothies, salad dressing, soups and other things. Would the be without one!

I debated for a couple of months about purchasing the A2500 Vitamix. I don't have a large kitchen and I didn't want to buy an item that would end up sitting in the cupboard not being used. Well, my fears were totally unfounded. Bought the A2500 about 6 weeks ago and I am thrilled! My intake of fruits and vegetables (especially kale and spinach) has tripled since I took it out of the box. Clean up is a breeze and I made a space for it on my counter because I use it twice a day! Totally awesome product!

This is my first Vitamix. I am very satisfied!! I have had other blenders and they never really hit the mark. I was hesitant to purchase - but the Vitamix has truly proven itself!!! I literally use it every day and sometimes more than once- smoothies, soups, desserts and yes I even make peanut butter. Me and my family really enjoy all the delicious goodness that comes from our Vitamix. I’m so glad I made the decision to purchase. My only regret is—why did I wait so long? However from my past experiences, I can truly appreciate the quality and value of the Vitamix.

I'm not convinced the new sensor technology on the A2500 is better than past models. This review is from someone who owned an old model of a Vitamin for 10 years. I loved my old Vitamix, and the new one is OK, but something about it doesn't seem as reliable. The new base is made of plastic and my old one was a sturdier stainless steel. The old one worked 100% of the time, but the new one is finicky when sensing the container and won't always run which is frustrating. My old Vitamin was a beast that handled almost daily usage, but I will be shocked if the new one lasts 10 years.

I waited 9 years to buy one. I finally did and I am in love with it. Use it every day since I got it a few months ago. It clean up is quick and easy. I highly recommend the A2500. The representative helped me via phone determine which model would work for my needs. Love it!

I bought this for my wife for Christmas. We had a decent $120 KitchenAid blender that we thought worked well. But this one destroys it. We like technology but more than gadgets, we like the quality and power. We don’t use the zillion programs built in and prefer the standard tactile dials.

Horribly disappointed! I don't know if we just got a lemon or if this is what everyone experiences with their machines but I had such high hopes. Blending is a nightmare. It always smells like something is burning. If iStart on low speed and try to increase it - no matter what it gets stuck around 4-6. Just stops. I use the tamper but something just doesn't seem right and we truly are not enjoying it at all.

I've had my machine for about 6 weeks and am amazed at the difference in my smoothies. This machine is able to grind the veggies so fine I no longer have leftover pieces in my mouth to chew. I am still getting used to making ice cream but imagine I'll matter it in time. So far very pleased with my purchase and love how easy it is to clean.
