Customer reviews for Vitamix A2500 Bundle with 48oz Aer Disc Container forGreat investment!
I bought my Vitamix a couple months ago because I had been wanting a high powered blender that I could rely on for years to come. I am so impressed with this one compared to other's I have tried in the past and look forward to getting different adaptors to try out new recipes! (tried making a small serving of pesto in the large container and the blades didn't even touch the ingredients so will definitely need to invest in the blender cup or bowls)
Better than I expected
I bought my Vitamix about 6 months ago. Honestly, I was sceptical. I thought it was a bit expensive for a blender but having gone through a generic brand and another more well known brand in a few years, I thought let's give this a shot. The 10 year warranty was encouraging. I'm just amazed with this thing. It blends so much better than any of the others I owned. I love using the app to walk me through recipes and having it blend for me! I'm never going back to anything else.
Most used appliance!
I have had my Vitamix for 8 months now & am so glad I made the purchase. It was a big jump for me to spend this much money on a blender but now I am totally confident that it was worth every penny. My spouse & I use our Vitamix multiple times every day. We use it for coffee, smoothies, sauces, nut butters, chopping, and so much more! It is more than worth its counter space in my tiny kitchen. The reason that I took off one star is because I think for the price that the Vitamix should come with the essential accessories like the spatula & the under blade scraper.
Extremely reliable
I have owned my vita mix for A2500 for almost 3 years. I mainly make shakes in it, by that I mean 2-3 shakes a day, everyday, for all 3 years I have owned it. It has never missed a beat. The container is always clean and I have had no issues with any aspect of this blender. My shakes always include frozen fruit, oats, powder, and/or ice. Just as good as the day I bought it.
Addicted customer
I bought the A2300 reconditioned about a year+ ago and have been totally addicted to it ever since. It was hard to make the move at first because it seemed too pricey for us, but totally worth the money after all. I have been telling all my friends about it, and a few of them even got their own. It makes the best and most creamy soups, the smoothies are so easy to make every morning, as well as hummus and tapenade. Would 200% recommend! My container got a bit stained because or fresh turmeric, but except for that, it's like new.
LOVE this new QUIETER Vitamix!
Vitamix is known for it's superb blending capabilities, but the new Ascent Series is unbelievably quiet compared to previous generations. I have owned a Vitamix for many years and this is the first time I can make smoothies while my baby and kids are sleeping (perfect for busy families). My kids love helping me in the kitchen and we all watch eagerly while the machine counts on the new digital feature for the smoothies and soups. It's extremely convenient on the mornings where I'm juggling 3 kids and trying to make breakfast and smoothies at the same time. We use our Vitamin daily and are beyond pleased with the noise reduction and digital count down in the Ascent Series.
An excellent blender
I had a well known brand blender and was very disappointed! I did not want to spend $$$ on Vitamix and I regretted it. I should have bought Vitamix instead. The one I had broke down the first time I used it to make peanut butter. So I bought an A2500 series and it's an excellent blender. It's powerful and do just about anything. Now I have it on the counter top and I use it all the time. So do not make the same mistake I did, if you want an excellent blender then go for Vitamix!!! Thank you:)
No more chunky smoothies
I absolutely love that I finally spent the money on this product. Load the ingredients just as the instructions in the 'Start Here' pamphlet states and blend as directed and your smoothies will be perfect. I used to have chunky smoothies from leafy greens from my old blender but my Vitamix really gets the job done. I even find myself making more green smoothies because I enjoy them so much more making them in my Vitamix
Great!
It's been about a month and works wonderfully. I was skeptical before receiving this model, but not anymore! I read some reviews this is too big for one, and yes, this is a big jar so you might look into the different models to make one serving. Or you can buy a smaller jar. I hope Vitamix gives us the choice of which jar will buy. This is perfect for me and my husband, we make a larger batch of smoothies to replace our dinner. So I would totally recommend this model for a couple. And love their customer service. My first one had some issues and when I called them they helped me with the issue right away. The email was not successful, but the phone call worked beautifully. I had pro 750 and switched to this to use other size cups and different attachments. I've not tried those attachments yet, hope they work well. Some reviews mentioned the switch, but honestly, they are pretty good. When you hold it down, you feel the click. I didn't have to hold it longer to make it work as someone says. If you understand how the switch work, you'll get used to it and I don't have a problem with it. The lid is a little tricky. You need to close a little precisely, otherwise, it won't close it. I hope Vitamix can update this design. The noise is about the same as pro 750. I didn't measure exactly, but this is Vitamix so I expected big noise. Like Modern design Clear lid Compatibility with attachments Timer Powerful 10 yr warranty Great customer service Wishes for improvement Lid Design - Could've made to close more easily. You need to a little precise to close the lid Color options - I personally don't like the touchpad, so I chose this model. I wish this model has a stainless finish or other metal finishes too. I was willing to pay more for that. The app - It doesn't look appealing and not that great for the product at this price range. Other than that can't think of much. I give high four stars! I hope this lasts longer than 10 years like the old version of Vitamix.
All in one
In love with this VITAMIX. The A series is certainly an investment but it makes sense if VITAMIX is committing to this series. I have a lot more experimenting to do but so far I’ve made the smoothest smoothies I’ve ever had in my life, and the creamiest pesto. But it doesn’t just blend. I made salsa that was perfectly minced with minimal prep, and used it to make leftover turkey frittata muffins. It chopped the leftover turkey chunks AND the kale to perfect pieces with also minimal prep. I did read reviews of others struggling to get the textures right with their recipes, so my advice is to reference the VITAMIX cookbook for recipes similar to the ones you want to try to get an idea of what order to put in the infredients and whether to blend or pulse. I did have trouble with the pizza dough recipe from the book. The container moved a lot at I got an E31 error message. Thought it was broken but it’s actually a safety feature that prevents the machine from running if the container isn’t sitting just right on the pegs. Readjusting the container cleared the message and we’ve ate living happily after ever after!
