I've had my A2500 for a couple of years now and felt it had enough bells and whistles. However, now that I've had a chance to get great use out of it I am ready to upgrade to the version that also has the self-cleaning mode. Standing in front of the A2500 for a full couple minutes to go through the cleaning cycle is a hassle b/c you can't multi-task as you have to keep track of the every 6 seconds cycle.

I have now had this blender for a bit over 3 years and it has been awesome. It is super smart, works great with the app, and I love the new style of containers with it. I love all the added containers that you can get to do a multitude of things with it.

I am a healthy eating raw vegan ,I've been wanting to own a vitamix for awhile now.Finally i decided on the g series,then was told about the new ascent line.I just ordered this machine today and am so excited.I have only heard good things about the vitamixes so i took the vitamix plunge.Several people i know own one and every loves theirs.

I just received my Vitamix last Thursday & set it up on Monday after buying all my fruits and so on to make a smoothie. After putting all of my ingredients in the pitcher I put it on the smoothie preset. It began working and after a couple of seconds it jumped and got extremely loud. I turned it off immediately and removed all of the contents. I washed it and dried it and put it away. On Tuesday morning I decided to give it another try. I put in my soy milk, yogurt and berries. I set it on smoothie and it began blending and as it worked for about three seconds it got louder and louder. I turned it off and decided to use the settings between 1-3. I didn’t take it up to ten. It worked fine. It was loud but not as loud as when you use the smoothie settings. As much as I love the idea of having a Vitamix blender, I don’t think that I will keep it. I spent a lot to have a quality blender and I certainly didn’t pay to have a blender jump up and get louder after a couple of seconds. It’s sounds horrible as if it’s going to explode. The sound frightened my dogs as it did me. I don’t know if this is normal for this blender or if anyone else has experienced this too. I just don’t think it’s worth keeping.

I LOVE my Vitamix blender. I purchased it in 1995 and I have to admit I am at fault for the one problem I had early on. I blended raw liver for dog treats in it and they liver membranes restricted the shaft and I blew the dang thing up! Warrenty replacement is still going. Pretty good investment, I'd say! Tip... blend liver, celery etc in a cheap blender!

We just upgraded our 12 year old Vitamix, and I love the new features on this machine! I have two small kids at home and being able to to just switch to the correct setting without having to watch the blender is such a great time saver! Also, while it might seem silly to some, the fact that it can fit on my counter under the upper cabinets makes my life so much easier as it can now just live on my counter.

I bought mine during the pandemic. I had a department store brand blender. One thing I love is fresh gazpacho, I usually use three pounds of tomatoes along with bell pepper, garlic, bread, olive oil, onion and garlic and ice.. I would have to do this in three batches on the old machine and I could not walk away from the machine because the jar would unscrew itself from the bottom and product would be everywhere. The Vitamix machine, using a 64 oz container, I load up everything start the machine and walk away for 60 seconds and violas, nice, smooth delicious gazpacho and I don’t have to worry about the machine leaking or “walking away”. I’m 71 I bet the machine outlives me!

I bought a vitamix machine a year ago and have been using it more than twice a week so far. I make green smoothie mainly for me and strawberry smoothie for kids. Compared to previous machines, it can be made very smoothly and quickly. The sound is powerful, but as I use it, I get used to it and I am very satisfied with it so far.

I just purchased an cr A2500 and received it today. It looked just like a new one and I made a grape banana spinach smoothie. It is so smooth and my husband and mother in law even my two year old daughter love it so much. I will try some more recipes. Really happy to enjoy this one and it is definitely a life changing machine.

Hubby got me the A2500 with Food Processor attachment for Christmas and I am honestly in love. This is the most efficient and easy to use small appliance I have ever owned. I resisted for so many years due to the price - but it was worth the wait. I have used the blender at least 2 times each day since receiving it. I have yet to use the food processor but am so excited to do so and will update my review once I do!
