The A2500 was an excellent purchase. I have used a Vitamix that I purchased about 20 years ago used almost every day after purchase. It was very basic and an excellent product. I was nervous about buying a new one and opted for the A2500 so I could try out a few new features and because it gives me optional add-ons. It is very easy to use now that I know where the turn-on button on the side is located, and it works perfectly. It is easier to use than my original Vitamix and it is faster. I can recommend it wholeheartedly.

After much debate and comparison I decided to take the plunge and purchase a Vitamix. Love It!!! I don't know what I was waiting for, wish I had bought it sooner, such a powerful blender, I use it every morning making a smoothie. Creamiest smoothie ever!

Best blender I ever had. We use it every day. So far I've made smoothies, soup, cashew milk, tomato sauce. The soup we made was from the provided recipe book, and we didn't like it BUT, like they said, it was HOT went it finished to blend, not lukewarm, hot. The spout of the plastic container is a little too large to my liking, but that's not worth losing points over this. I would have given it a 5 but I haven't experienced their customer service yet, thankfully, and to me customer support makes a huge difference. I've also been told that there's nothing perfect in life, that there's always room for improvement, so for all this, I give it a 4, but a strong one.

I've had my Vitamix about a month now. I am thrilled with it. I've mainly used it for smoothies. I had 3 previous versions of another popular brand and there is no comparison. I wanted smoothies that were more like a juice, especially without chunks, but don't want the hassle of a juicer. The Vitamix makes the smoothie exactly how I want it. If I had one wish, I would only wish it was just a little quieter. Noise is a fair exchange for the power I get from it though.

Blending made easier! This one is a replacement for a vitamix that we had for 10 years+. The last vitamix we had the motor ran out. But again, it was over 10 years old and we wanted to upgrade anyway. In the interim, we were using a smaller blender that we purchased for cocktails. But everyone in the family complained about the subpar blending and begged for another Vitamix. Smoothies are quick and perfect every time, salad dressings are easy to mix, soups are done in no time flat. By far, vita mix leads the pack in any type of blending system.

I’m so glad we got our Vitamix. It’s super powerful, and that makes such a difference. Our smoothies are really creamy now. Our old blender left lots of seeds and small chunks, and the Vitamix never does, just does a perfect job. We got the small bowl attachments also, and those have been nice to make dressings for our salads. I appreciate the quality and easy cleanup!

This blender has been a disappointment. It's powerful, that's for sure, but the smaller attachments (nut butter container and smoothie container) are borderline impossible to get situated properly so that the machine will turn on. The "smart" features are not helpful at all and I find it incredibly difficult to screw the special base on with my admittedly small hands, and adjusting them to align properly is so difficult that I find I never use them. Even the big container is a hassle, though, because the lip doesn't clip on cleanly and the container doesn't lock on so you can accidentally knock it off the base while the machine is running. If I had it to do over, I'd certainly not get the Ascent series. It's been such a disappointment.

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 Vitamix and am really glad I did, my boyfriend makes a smoothie every morning and I have one for lunch, I always used to get frustrated when I went to places that didn't make my smoothies thick enough, now I create the right blend with no sugar.

This is my first Vitamix. I am very satisfied!! I have had other blenders and they never really hit the mark. I was hesitant to purchase - but the Vitamix has truly proven itself!!! I literally use it every day and sometimes more than once- smoothies, soups, desserts and yes I even make peanut butter. Me and my family really enjoy all the delicious goodness that comes from our Vitamix. I’m so glad I made the decision to purchase. My only regret is—why did I wait so long? However from my past experiences, I can truly appreciate the quality and value of the Vitamix.
