It was very intimidating at first - and I will say it is loud! But oh so perfect. Cashew cream, smoothies, "nice" cream! I still need to try soups, but this multifunctional blender is a dream come true - and was the perfect gift to myself after the events of 2020!

I was very hesitant to purchase a blender due to the initial sticker shock, but finally did so without talking to the husband. After receiving it he was so happy with the product he did not care. The Vitamix is used daily in our house for smoothies, homemade nut butters, soups, etc and we always get the best results. Our children who previously did not care for our plant packed smoothies now drink them without batting an eye. The entire family has enjoyed this purchase. With such a nice long warranty the initial price is actually right on par, if not cheaper, than buying a new blender every few years because the other bit the dust. We look forward to many years with this awesome product!

I have always had higher end blenders and put off buying my Vitamix for years. Now that I’ve had it about a month, I am so mad I waited this long! By far the smoothest smoothies, blended nut milks and soups. It is worth every dollar I spent. I just wish I would have made the purchase sooner. I use this every day, sometimes 3 times a day! Don’t put off your purchase any longer!!

Bought it for my wife for Christmas. Opened it early, amazing product. Still fully learning how to use it, but a superior product nonetheless. Aside from the A2500 that arrives, customer service of this company has been very good in a time where it seems to be a lost art with other companies.

Bought this for my boyfriends birthday. It works great! We have used it for mostly smoothies but also made some salad dressing and chicken tortilla soup. We rinse it after each use and that's enough to keep it clean. I'm very excited to get the to go blender attachments when they come out. Great buy!

It works very well. Although, my husband decided to grind coffee beans in ours and now the canister is scratched; it's still brand new and I feel like it's already "ruined". I wish we had gone with a different series as now we feel we would have liked the touch-screen controls better but, without being able to see them in person, it's a guessing game. All-in-all, it does a nice job and we love the easy clean-up.

I have been thinking of purchasing a Vitamix blender for quite a few years, but could never really justify the expense for the amount of use it would get. I have recently been changing up the way I am eating (to be healthier as I get older and lose some of those covid pounds), so I knew I would have more use for a one now and am quite happy I splurged. I have made hummus, soups and some vegan sauces. Everything was easy to prepare following the directions and clean up was easy as well. I will say that it is rather loud, but I can't say it's louder or quieter than any other blender I've had. Also, I like that I have access to so many recipes and the recipes use simple ingredients - but I do tend to tweak them with additional spices as some of them are quite bland.

Pros: It's by far the best way to eat vegetables as a meal. For me, it will make a positive difference in my general health. It also makes great smoothies. Cons: It's expensive! To me, the pre-programmed settings are "near" unnecessary because the recipes are really simple. Finaly, it is so noisy that I will not make early smoothies in respect to my neighbors.

Love vitamix- but this ones struggles to fully blend certain items without excess liquid-i.e. cashews for cashew cream, frozen fruits for smoothies. I could do all of these things with my original vitamix, but I now have to add so much liquid that the items become watery. Would not recommend to purchase

Putting your Vitamix on the counter to show it off would be great after spending over $700.00 to buy it but not the way the container reacts after only one month of use. The fact that this problem has been ongoing for quite awhile (and the most frequent complaint to Vitamix) makes me wonder. It turns a foggy grey - to clean it we started with the Vitamix cleaning method, then vinegar and water, bleach and water, denture capsule and water, CLR and water and finally a Mr. Clean magic pad and a lot of elbow grease. We are now using the Vitamix method after every use with warm water, vinegar, water and drying it by hand - not as we were cleaning it after every use in warm soapy water and air drying. The container is also not a warranty item and would only cost you over $200.00 to replace - makes the Vitamix a real deal. Wish I had known about this 2 months ago.
