I frickin love my Vitamix A2500! I had been eyeing this for the longest time. I used to own a blendtec, but always knew that vitamix was the best blender. So when it was time to upgrade I did my research on the vitamix models and decided on this one! I also make smoothies almost daily, so really wanted a top notch blender. This blender blends so well, I have put big chunks of celery, ginger, frozen spinach into this and it blends it all down even more finely blended than the blendtec in my opinion. Some small complaints are that the blending container takes a while for me to scrap everything out due to the unique shape, the rubber top motor part where it has the attachment for the container is somewhat hard to clean, and sometimes the lid can be difficult to take off with one hand. Otherwise it's perfect!

I have tried so many blenders -- the magic bullet, oyster, fruit ninja and nothing compares to the vitamix. this stuff blends all my vegetables and fruits into fine pieces and nothing is every chunky or still not mixed. i had always wanted one and i'm so happy my husband invested into it. we love making pasta sauces, smoothies and smoothie bowls with our blender. the best!!!!

Just bought a Vitamix A2500 after the 30-year old Kenmore blender "died." I have used it daily for the past four days. Sometimes trying up to two or three different recipes from the enclosed book and online recipes. It makes the best smoothies and is cheaper than the smoothie "place." Soups are hot and delicious.

I kept seeing people in the blogs/newsletters I follow using a Vitamix and it just seemedto work so well. It took over a year, but after signing up for the Lifeisnoyoke email series, I was convinced to take the plunge. I have used this appliance at least once every day since it arrived. Love that I can have fresh, hot soup and queso in five (5) minutes from a blender. I am also able to hide greens in smoothies and whole food juices without a trace. It is very powerful and LOUD, my husband describes it as 'a blender with a small block V8 engine.' :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This blender makes everything so much easier in the kitchen. We can finally make smoothies, soups, milks, flours and more with just a dial adjustment and push. It blends so smoothly without chunks or large pieces left behind. We are just in love with ours. Don’t think about it. Just add it to your cart. The price pays for itself with its warranty.

I came from a Pro 500 Vitamix and I upgraded to this new Ascent series. It is worth the upgrade and worth the investment. As soon as you open the box you will notice the high quality standard that Vitamix put into this product. I like everything with this blender. At first I thought that the rubber lid will be better, but once you see and hold the new lid, it is very well constructed and the clips on the side is very strong. I like the new container as I noticed that it blends better, less need for the tamper because it is wide and having the huge 4" blade is a plus. It seems that the gears on the container that goes into the drive socket is longer than the old one, which to me it will last longer. The self detect feature is great as well for safety, as you can only run the blender when you place the container on top of the blender base. The blender base is heavy which make it more stable when blending. It is definitely much quieter than the Pro 500 that I had. The rubber pad on the top feels good to the touch which I think helps to reduce the noise. The toggle switch for pulse and start/stop have a great rugged feel to it. The digital timer is one of the great feature of this blender as it shows you for how long you are blending already and when you are using the pre-sets it will show you as to how long it will blend. Overall, this is a great blender. If you want the manual controls, pre-sets, digital timer, the new container and the 10 YEAR WARRANTY!!!. Then, this blender is for you. You can never go wrong with this. I can't wait until the new single single cup container becomes available.

I bought my A2500 Blender 10 months ago. I am very pleased with my purchase. I previously owned a C-Series 6300 Vitamix. The main reason I was interested in the A2500 was for the Smart features. I also purchased the scale at the same time and I now regularly use the Perfect Blend App. I love the app because I have a recipe book of all my favorite smoothies and the flexibility to add new personal recipes. I can quickly make my smoothies without having to measure out anything. The precision on the ratio of ingredients makes for consistent, yummy, and perfectly textured smoothies. My daughters do not care as much about recipes or measurements. This blender is easy for them to use without the app or scale. I love that the blender is shorter than the 6300 series so it fits nicely under my cabinets. My only issue with the size would be that the pitcher is wider so making just one serving does not blend as well. The tamper does not reach the amount of food in the bottom to help. Vitamix does offer a bowl and cup accessories to help make single servings. I am saving up for this.

I've had my Ascent blender for a few years now. I don't use it daily but pretty close. It took me a long time to invest in a Vitamix and it was worth it. It is truly a powerful machine that I don't worry about beating up too much (lost many a blender to daily smoothies). I love that it is so versatile! I got the stainless steel 48 oz. container to reduce my plastic consumption and very happy with the results.

Perfect blender! Has all the settings needed abs love to be able to control myself. The gray color is beautiful. Blends smoothies so smooth and soups perfectly! Haven’t tried anything other than those 2 things at moment but will update as I do. Very powerful and cleans itself amazingly. Love the 3 presets for things I plan to make most. also just purchased accessories so will review those soon. I love the size of container for huge batches of soup or multiple smoothies or ice cream at once. Plan to get smaller container for every day use.

I've owned this blender over a year and use it for everything from smoothies to soups, nut butters, and oat milk. I still prefer a food processor for nice cream but I love having a blender strong enough to handle thick smoothies with lots of ingredients!
