This thing is a BEAST but worth the hype! It’s extremely loud but I can deal with loud no problem....I will say that the NutriBullet does just as well so if you’re trying to conserve on costs just go with the cheaper NutriBullet I still have mine and will use it when needed. It’s lasted years...

I bought my Vitamix A2500 with some fear of paying too much but I forgot it quickly with the best texture and delicious mix I can do with it. I really appreciate smooth texture of everything I can put in my Vitamix. The only negative point to me is that I often need the tamper because blades end up turning without touching anything if it's too thick... Now I hope to use it for years to come. :)

I've known about Vitamix for years but didn't invrst in long term power. We went through several smaller options that didn't last long. The 2500 is amazing. We bought the smoothie cups, bowls and under blade cleaner. All well worth it for us. Our little portable non-Vitamix travel version blender feels like a toy now.

I have been wanting a Vitamix for about 10 years but never felt I could justify the price. Well, I finally broke down and bought one (the A2500), and I can very happily say I have no buyer's remorse! I'm thrilled with it so far and have only just begun to explore its capabilities. Just making my own homemade butter from fresh cream in 1 minute is still blowing my mind! I haven't had it long enough to say anything of value regarding reliability, etc., but my sister has had one for 10 years (hence my longing for one), and it is still going as strong as the day she bought it.

I bought this blender in December since I was moving into a new house and my old,cheap blender broken down a few days before the moving. I really like the power feature and the effectiveness/convenience of the product. I have been making smoothie daily with this blender since the purchase, and I have no issues with it so far. I would like to try some recipes (like soup etc.) in the future to see how compatible it is.

The Vitamix A2500 is an integral part of my kitchen. For years I had a different brand that always left me struggling for a "finished" dish. My A2500 is absolutely incredible, from nut milks and butters, dips, doughs, cakes, baby foods (my grand loves this), desserts and healthy delicious hot soup.

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!

Absolutely nothing wrong with this machine; I love the program settings, and it's a breeze to use and clean. I have an issue with textures and lumpy drinks (dry-heave) - now my smoothies are the smoothest consistency I could have imagined. The red unit looks great on the countertop too. Only thing I would improve is having the dial register a subtle 'click' to acknowledge each speed when you turn it, but that's being very picky. The machine and recipe book are worth every penny, the speed, ease and quality of food we've prepared for our growing family have made this a life-changing investment.

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 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!!
