I bought my Vitamix as a Christmas present to myself and it is well worth the cost. The unbelievable results of blending all the fruits (with seeds and skin), the nuts, veggies, etc into a silky, smooth, delicious drink, smoothie, or hot soup has to be experienced too believe it. What a powerhouse! The features are very user-friendly and non-cumbersome. The digital timer and auto shut-off that controls speed and time length of smoothies, ice cream, and soups takes all the guesswork out and leaves you with perfect results. There is still a manual speed dial that gives you the option to control what you’re making. It also is a self cleaner so you don’t have to touch the blade. The Vitamix A2500 is a beautiful machine that is build to last. That’s why it has a 10 year warranty. Great investment, replaces so many appliances in your kitchen. Thank you.

It is very powerful blender, it has settings for smoothies and soups, i use those a’lot and like it a’lot. There is only one downfall, they say its bluetooth ready, but the app cant connect to it and do anything to it, it sees it but does not when connected ln app still shows no connection. So its worthless! Follow directions on what to put first inside the cup, soft stuff first then harder stuff after and add lil water for each smoothie, maybe one full cup, then add ice last, the water will really help with grinding/blending process to blend it to the perfection. If you do that step, there wont be any need for the plastic baton to push the ingredients down toward the blade. I rarely use the baton, only maybe sometimes when theres lots of ice. Its somewhat not that loud, everything gets done within 50 secs usually and its good to go. For soups i will say that adding some hot water to it will help it cook better nd you wont have to wait long 6 mins to get soup done it will be done faster. Also when you make soups, add tortila chips or crackers last 5-10 seconds to make it little chunkier. Always wash it by adding water nd drop of dish soap, and let it blend on high for 5-10seconds take it off an rinse, for smoothies, and for soups do same step but at the end flip the cup upside down nd let it dry like that, so the ingredient smells dont get stuck with it for long nd they air out, like garlic or onion type of smell, even when washed. Have fun with it, you bought it so use it everyday, i know the food or smoothies that i make in it are healthy for me and it will be same for you just keep making stuff with it.

I bought the Vitamix to replace our 30 year old Oster and am pleased so far. It does the job it is supposed to by turning leafy greens and hard vegies into liquid protean packed drinks to replace lunch or breakfast every day. Lost 10 lbs. and feeling good!

I have had a Vitamix blender for 10 years. I recently upgraded to the A2500 and my son inherited my original which still runs just perfectly. If you have ever used a different blender, which I had the misfortune of having to do for a couple of months, you will realize how well worth the price a Vitamix blender is. The A2500 is great, like the auto setting for smoothie as this is something I do almost every day. Simply, Vitamix is the best and the A2500 is excellent

This is my first Vitamix and I love it! I used to wonder why someone would spend so much money on a blender- but now I get it. It's so much more than a blender. I have used it so far for smoothies, almond milk and mayonnaise. All have turned out great, can't wait to try out more new recipes. I'm pretty sure this guy could tackle anything.

I bought my new Vitamix A2500 to replace my 5200 which I planned to give to a friend. I liked the features mentioned in your overview and the fact that it can not only use the large container but the single serve smoothie and the 8 oz containers as well. I use the single serve containers with the flip top lids on an almost daily basis to start my day with a fruit and veggie drink, and this particular model works much better than the the competition, leaving my breakfast drink with no bits, seeds, or traces of skin from berries. The small cup is perfect for making salad dressings. Thank you for another dynamic product!

So quiet and powerful… love the pre-sets. We had to order the smaller container b/c the included large container was simply too small for day to day batches. I’d rate this a 5 star for product quality, but 4 star for value as it feels like a trick that you’d have to order the smaller container… Something as large as a 60+ oz container feels like it should be in the ad-on category, but perhaps just my opinion and not backed by sales numbers!!

I’ve been using Ninja blenders for years and was tired of replacing them every 3 years. When I asked friends what I should get, almost all of them said Vitamix so I decided to make the investment. I am glad I did! It grinds everything! No raspberry seeds stuck in my teeth anymore and it even makes pizza dough! Its quieter than my Ninja up until speed 8 and then its pretty loud. But if you needed to be quieter, you could just blend at the lower speeds. I am officially a Vitamix fan for life!

This product really did improve our lives in many ways. We use it several times a day (smoothies, sauces, soups, nut butters, etc). My 2 year old daughter loves it and has even dabbled in trying green smoothies. Customer service is outstanding as well. Some of the friendliest folks, and most straightforward resolution of issues.

Can’t say enough about our A2500. We’ve used it to make smoothies (daily) to gazpacho and black bean soup. We’re eating more fruits and vegetables, and spending more time together deciding what we want to try. Love it. High quality, looks great, and support a healthy lifeatyle.
