This is an expensive but great product. For some reason, it just makes the best creamiest soups, much better than an immersion blender. When used with the larger jugs it makes great smoothies but when used with the smaller ones, it doesn't blend frozen spinach well, if you try to keep blending you end up with a hot smoothie.

This is my first Vitamix blender. I purchased it to make smoothies. Big gamble. Epic failure. The smoothie function is underwhelming. Disastrous. The ingredients I use are 1.5 cups milk, protein powder, a fresh banana, ½ cup of frozen berries and 4 small ice cubes. I make sure to add them in the recommended order. In the month that I’ve owned it, the blender takes at least three passes to produce a smoothie. And I find myself constantly using the tool the push, mix, and clear air pockets. I’ve owned blenders sold at less than half the price of this blender that performed twice as better. Highly disappointed this blender cannot peform such a simple task.

We had been relying on Magic Bullets and Nutribullet for the last ten years. This past year or so I found myself using them 2-3 times a day and was always so grossed out with how hard they were to clean! This blender is SO easy to keep clean that I use it ALL the time! I love that I’m able to truly hide vegetables in my kids food to make sure they are getting a little more nutrition in their diet too. Since getting it a couple weeks ago I have already used it daily, sometimes each meal for something!

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've been using the new Vitamix A2500 for a couple weeks now, and I'm absolutely loving it. It's sleek, quiet and easy-to-use. I love the auto-clean option - makes clean up a breeze. I've also been enjoying the pre-set program for making smoothies. I'm able to set to the smoothie setting and walk away. When the machine turns off, I can trust that my morning smoothie will be perfectly blended. I was sent this machine in exchange for a product review. All opinions are my own.

This multi use blender is a beast. Extremely well made and works even better. You can’t go wrong with this purchase and I would recommend it to everyone. Seems a bit expensive, but when you get it and actually use it, you will then understand why - American made and built to stand the test of time. I’m going to order one for my parents for Christmas. Thanks Vitamix

We are not new to Vitamix. More than 30 years ago, my husband and I watched a demo at a large Home Show in the town where we live and were mighty impressed with what we saw and then what we tasted. The price was high, but we thought that the quality would be worth it. Fast forward 3 decades later, and it still worked! The stainless container had seams in it and a dispenser spout at the bottom, both of which required some careful cleaning. In any event, we decided it was time to upgrade, but the old Vitamix didn’t owe us a thing! After much research, several phone calls to Customer Service at Vitamix (and always a really nice and helpful voice) we bought an A2500, as well as an extra, smaller container, and are very happy with our purchase. Most every morning, we make smoothies, but I wanted to try all the buttons on the machine, so we got to work and tried some of the recipes on the Vitamix site. The biggest surprise was the Black Bean soup. I couldn’t believe that after blending the ingredients in the Vitamix for 7 ½ minutes, we were sitting down to a delicious, steaming hot meal without using the stove! I see more soup in our future! On Thanksgiving, the Vitamix made quick work of a pumpkin pie filling. All those delicious recipes aside, I think my favorite part is how easy and quick it is to clean the container, and there is nothing to take apart. Thank you for continuing to make such a quality product.

I've been wanting a Vitamix for years and after my ninja cracked and broke I decided it was finally time to upgrade. I have been super impressed with everything I have made so far. its very easy to use. I love the presets and self cleaning is amazing. my smoothies have never been...well...SMOOTHER. I've been calling myself Jamba Juice because I feel like a professional now. I'm ordering the blender cups now to make more sauces, dressings, and for to go options. I love that this blender has the self detect blending cups add on option!

I bought this vitamix about 18 years ago. I am still using it but it feels like it is giving up the ghost. We have loved it and used it for many different things. We have a daughter who was vegan. My family made the best hummus in the world (I guarantee it!) however I need a new blender and am not sure which model to buy. The kids have gone and we are making homemade dog food to keep our dog alive. My husband is using it now for that and for smoothies in the morning to keep my 94 year old mother who is living with us healthy! The only reason he is using it now is I have taped the fast and furious blender button. My husband used to use it for smoothies and never put the lid on. I cleaned a lot of ceilings and cupboards thanks to him and had to tape that button off because it was so strong. I want th esame blender again. Is it possible? It is VM0103 and is the super vitamix. What model would it compare to now. I want another one and should buy today on Black Friday if they have it for sale in Canada. Thank you vitamix!!!!

Smoothies more luxurious than ever. Banana ice cream without needing a drop of milk. Soups blended without a spluttering immersion blender. Natural nut butters. Many more possibilities awaiting. I love this blender. Easy to use, relatively quiet, and powerful. Only a few small notes: I did feel the need to purchase the 48oz jar, as the 64 requires rather large batches. The self-clean blending doesn't usually clean the jar entirely (especially because blending with too much water will cause it to leak), but gets the tricky spots like under the blades and makes scrubbing way easier. I've wanted a Vitamix for a long time but kept hesitating because of the price (and I had a different functional blender already). I am SO glad I finally made the purchase. Absolutely worth it.
