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.

I bought mine a few month and honestly it is wonderful, you cannot compare it with anything else, it is expensive but it is worth it. All the features are great and does what it is supposed to do. The only thing I will say is that when you are doing frozen drinks it needs a little bit of help to crush all the ice, it can get stuck and you will need the help of the tamper. Having said that, I have never had such a powerful blender before, I love how it blends all the ingredients. I often make pizza sauce with san marzano tomatoes, garlic, basil, salt and pepper and the end result its beautiful, everything it is mix very well and you can't even see the little bit of basil that you will usually see if using another blender. You will see the difference on you first use, a bit loud but it is very, very powerful.

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 kept seeing people in the blogs/newsletters I follow using a Vitamix and it just seemedto work so well. It took over a year, but after signing up for the Lifeisnoyoke email series, I was convinced to take the plunge. I have used this appliance at least once every day since it arrived. Love that I can have fresh, hot soup and queso in five (5) minutes from a blender. I am also able to hide greens in smoothies and whole food juices without a trace. It is very powerful and LOUD, my husband describes it as 'a blender with a small block V8 engine.' :)

I feel proud to have my Vitamix. I am on a personal journey to better health, and to learning to love real food. My Vitamix is helping me on that road, one vegetable and fruit at a time. After year after year of buying other unnamed blenders that repeatedly disappointed, I am now on this Vitamix fix.

The ambiguity in deciding on a healthy meal for lunch is a thing of the past. I can quickly put together two different healthy smoothies and keep it moving. The blades are extremely powerful and produce a consistent texture and enjoyable replacement meal. Proper cleaning was a huge concern when I initially examined the container but that is also a thing of the past. Just follow the cleaning instruction without fail and you will avoid cooties in your guts. Okay. Bye-bye now. Happy blending!!!

I wasn’t going to buy a Vitamix. I felt my regular blender was doing a good enough job of making my morning smoothie. Then I watched a side by side comparison between the A2500 and a household blender, and was surprised at how much better the Vitamix did. I’m so glad I ordered it. It makes a really smooth smoothie (no chunks clogging up the straw). I can’t wait to make other things with it.

My primary use case for the blender was for morning smoothies. A typical smoothie for me contains a fruit, a liquid, some protein powder, leafy greens, and ice. That also happens to be the recommended order to add them as the ice helps push things down. Since it's just a single serving in a giant container, there isn't much height of smoothie to slow down the ice ones it hits the blades. This results in the ice shooting up to the top of the blender, and kicks up ingredients that haven't blended yet onto the walls/top of the container. The video I've added shows this, and you can see a giant chunk of spinach kicked up on the side right when the ice reaches the blades. Yes, I could just spatula it all off and then re-run the blender. I could probably also crush the ice before putting it in. Regardless, there isn't yet a smaller container to make single serving smoothies efficiently. This thing is just too wide of a container for a single serving smoothie with ice cubes. I don't fault the blender. It's a beast, and I'm glad to have bought a vitamix. There just aren't enough accessories yet for the Ascent series blenders. Really hope the 32oz container makes its way to the Ascent line, as that would be perfect for me. My review is based on the fact the Ascent is still a new blender base that hasn't yet released the other containers.

After years of occasionally using a family members vitamin we finally purchased our own and are so excited to have our own now for our own daily smoothies and the other amazing things we will get to use it for! Have owned it for a few days now and have already used it at least twice a day.

I have been using a Legacy Series 5200 for about ten years and felt ready for an upgrade. I did a lot of research and decided on the A2500 over the A3500 because I felt as a long time user I would be more comfortable with the manual controls. I love the A2500. It is noticeably quieter than the 5200 and I think it blends a bit better overall. I did buy the additional 48oz container and I haven’t even used the larger container that comes standard yet. I’m glad that I did because I think the larger container would be way too big. I too wish that Vitamix would offer a choice of containers as the 48oz I think would be a better choice for most people. I love the preprogrammed options. I use smoothie everyday when I make my morning smoothies and it always comes out perfect without me having to do anything. I also use the smoothie program to clean it when I’m done. So far I have made smoothies and nut milks in it and am super impressed. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking to upgrade but who still wishes to have manual control.
