This is the best Blender I ever had. I absolutely love it.

You can not go wrong with Vitamix, we recommend to all our friends

I’ve only had the blender for a short time but it has proved to be absolutely huge and powerful!

It blends smoothies with no ice chunks like my previous blender. Clean up is very easy.

Use it every day, mostly for smoothies but blends whole fruits and veggies to deliciousness.

We love this blender. Grinds up greens and seeds very well for smoothies!

I never thought that I would purchase an expensive blender but it’s worth every single penny.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this blender several months ago. I am incredibly disappointed that it frequently overheats and stops working. It has overheated while blending different things, that were not difficult blending jobs.

I bought the Ascent based on recommendations and reviews. It is definitely a step or two above what I had. I appreciate the power and performance, however was very disappointed that the large container did not do small batches of things very well. I was dismayed that I had to purchase smaller vesicles in order to get the jobs done. With larger batches of things, there is no comparison in speed and power. I grumbled at the thought of having to shell out another couple of hundred dollars to get the cups and smoothie container and another base, but was able to score a deal using points on Amazon. Now that I have all the requisite containers, I'm happy, but I still think that one or another of the smaller containers and base should be part of the package, since one is paying an already outrageous amount for a blender. I do use it several times a week and often more than twice a day. It has changed the way I cook and prepare food.

I received the item today however it came dead on arrival. I unpacked the item, plugged it into electricity and filled up the cup with water and soup. Then I went and chose the smoothie program + hit the play button and on screen it first showed the second count as 00:50, then 00:49, then E31. I was googling what the E31 error mean and it says the motor is dead, that’s when you get this error. Few seconds later and while I’m reading online I started to smell something is burning, I was looking at the blender and smoke was coming out of it. I also have a video with the leftover of smoke coming out which I was able to capture on camera but can’t seems to have an option to upload a video in here directly, rather have to youtube first...
