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!

Wow is all I can say! I have been a loyal Vitamix customer since the beginning. There truly is nothing else that compares to the power, sleek look, convenience, versatility & recipe enhancement! This new series is even better then I could have expected! A++ Vitamix team! Also - as a vegan I make a ton of homemade nut milks and nut butters on the daily. I can NOT imagine doing this without this machine. Seriously, I made creamy homemade hemp milk (see pictures) in 90 seconds with this A2500. THAT'S it! Life changing! I can't wait to experiment more in the kitchen! Disclaimer: I received a free blender in exchange for an honest review. All opinions and words are my own.

I bought this blender over a year ago and have been in love ever since. I make smoothies every morning and needed a blender that could keep up. I am so happy I went with this blender but how can you ever go wrong with a Vitamix? best warranty around too!

I bought my Vitamix in March 2020 and have used it daily since. It's so easy to use, my children are able to whip up quick and healthy shakes and smoothies. They know the basic ingredients they can add, and they enjoy creating their own smoothie recipes. I love how easy it is to use and clean. And I love how easy it is to blend and hide vegetables into recipes for me and my family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Vitamix about a week ago. I've been using the daylights out of it. I make a smoothie almost every day and have been trying the recipes out. I'm enjoying making healthier food with the powerful help of this awesome machine. It really whips up smoothies so smooth. I can't even feel the spinach bits. I'm so happy with this purchase. I wish I'd bought one years ago.

As a Food Blogger, I love any kitchen appliance that helps me create delicious recipes. Performance is key with any kitchen appliance, but it also has to look good on my counter top. The Vitamix A2500 Ascent series fits the bill to both! It has a super powerful motor that blended everything I tried to perfection and its sleek design looks great from every angle in my kitchen. I had no idea what I was missing by not owning a Vitamix sooner! The inexpensive blenders I’ve bought in the past had to be replaced every year and never came close to blending the way my new Vitamix does. Vitamix has an impressive 10 year, full machine Warranty and is the ultimate multitasking kitchen appliance! As one that is not great at reading instruction manuals I was pleasantly surprised at how simple and easy the Vitamix A2500 was to use. Within minutes of unpacking my Vitamix I was making the most delicious smoothie. I put this blender to the test making a multitude of recipes. The undeniable power of this machine made making smoothies, ice cream, sauces, nut butters and hot soup incredibly easy and oh so tasty. Yes it makes hot soup! Right in the blender, within minutes! The blades spin so fast it heats up ingredients with friction alone. The three program settings (Smoothies, Hot Soups, Frozen Desserts) on the A2500 Ascent series is a great, convenient feature that I use frequently. The built-in timer helps you achieve the perfect texture to your recipes every time. No more guesswork with recipes that you process manually. The variable speed control + pulse worked well when making salsa and nut butters. It’s been an exciting time in my kitchen trying an abundance of recipes from the excellent hardcover cookbook that came with this innovative blender. My kitchen has been a buzz discovering ways of using a blender I had never thought of! I can hardly wait until the various Self-Detect container sizes are available this spring. The Ascent™ Series blender will recognize these containers and automatically adjust blend settings for their smaller size. The Vitamix A2500 Ascent Series has sent me on a culinary adventure to developing new, creative recipes that are healthy, easy and great tasting!

I am a first time Vitamix user, I got the A2500....Love it! I have waiting for year to purchase as I had invested in another brand right before learning about Vitamix and so waited before moving to Vitamix....I am not disappointed in the product, my smoothies are finally very very smooth. In my heart this should be a 5 start, except for this challenge. My early takeaway from is specifically relates to the cup and blade, it is ridiculously difficult to tighten the blade onto the single use cup. My hands are smaller and so I spend more time literally fighting to tighten to close and then fight to take the blade off. I have to slightly tilt the cups to get an angle for put some real elbow grease in... :-) Could you consider for later design a type of handle to help out, or maybe if the cups we not so smooth it would help out as well... Thanks.

Ive been working with Vitamix machines in the restaurant industry for 20+yrs and have always wanted one for home. This past xmas my parents gifted me one! My 11yr old son uses it often on his own to create a variation of smoothies, which he sees as fun, i see as healthy stuff going into him on his own! Win! I’m hoping to learn more about soups/sauces, etc..as this thing is not just a smoothie maker, obviously. I do wish it were a tiny bit shorter, as it just quite wont fit under my cabinets, and that the plastic vessel was a bit thicker, even though it is high quality for plastic, as I’m often afraid a drop could break it. Hoping it will last a lifetime for home use, as these are an investment!

I was wanting this Vitamix since a long time ago and finally I got it! I’m super happy with this product just like what I expected. Durable and smooth container, very easy to clean, the machine works just perfect. Making smoothies everyday became my routine.

This Blender is awesome. Then again pretty much all of Vitamix merchandise is excellent quality and usability. I'm a guy who wants my tools\hoise hold appliances to work and work well. I will pay extra to get a good product. This vitamix doesn't disappoint. If you are looking for an Ascent series blender and want just a few preprogrammed settings this is it. Would highly recommend.
