I kept telling my wife that the smoothies that the Oster were making were just fine, and she kept complaining they were gritty. After a year and a half I bought her this for Christmas. This makes very smooth smoothies compared to the Oster. I am also able to make 2x as much waffle batter now (so 1 batch instead of 2 smaller batches). However, the best part is not having to wash the blender by hand anymore... Add some fresh water and soap, put it on 90 second smoothie mode, and the thing is washed!!! Okay, I guess I still have to rinse the pitcher and wash the top, but it is much less to do.

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'm very pleased with my new Vitamix, with which I have already made a bunch of great blends: perfectly smooth hummus, delish babaganoush, fresh peach sorbet, and multiple awesome drinks including something like a Frappacino. True, it wasn't cheap, but the best things rarely are.... no surprises, no buyer's remorse.

Excellent blender - Professional quality. This blender is used to make many smoothies, smoothie bowls and even hot soup! Top quality and we are glad to replace our longtime Ninja (which worked well, but not the same. We anticipate longtime use and intend to explore new recipes.

We love it, this was the first time we bought this blender. Debating over other brands, finally after reading the reviews, bought this. Very easy to use, easy to wash and easy to handle. I should not complain but we felt its bit loud while running, maybe its normal for this powerful motor.

I am enjoying our vitamix A2500 very much since purchased, using it nearly on a daily basis. I chose the A2500 over other legacy models because I like the self detect feature that automatically detects the size of the blender container and adjusts the preprogrammed dial selections accordingly. Additionally, the 10 year warranty and versatility of the machine were priorities in my decision to purchase as I believe firmly in buying quality products and service. The machine itself is obviously of professional grade and quality engineering, compared to other consumer grade appliances available through retailers.

Love my new Vitamix! My almond milk is so much more creamy and thick, the blender is able to extract so much more out of the almonds. Even my 5 year old notices the difference! I have a smoothie almost daily now because I can’t pass up using my vitamix.

Not sure this works as advertised. The blender and food processor attachments work well but the smaller blending bowl and 20oz blender cup don’t always get sensed from the blender I emailed customer support and they responded but those two attachments work sometimes and not others. Either I’m doing something wrong or the equipment is too picky-or too sensitive to any small error in tightness or the way the blade gets screwed onto the cup and bowl.

I've had my Vitamin for a month now and I am so glad I made the investment to purchase this product! I use it almost every day, and sometimes twice a day. My fiancé and I use it for smoothies and sauces; as it gets into the colder months I look forward to trying soups. I appreciate the preprogrammed functions as that is what I use most. Wold definitely recommend!

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
