I am beyond disappointed. Purchase the bundle during the Black Friday sales. The blending cup doesn't work consistently. I had to remove all the items from the blending cup and put them in the 64 oz container. There's no manual option when the self-detect isn't functional. I haven't had a problem with the larger container but it defeats the purpose of this product. The only positive is the ease of the return process.

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL TYPES OF BLENDERS THAT HAVE PERFORMED MARGINALLY. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT ME THE A2500 FOR CHRISTMAS AND LET ME TELL YOU, THIS BLENDER HITS IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!! IT HANDLES EVERYTHING I PUT IN IT QUICKLY, EFFICIENTLY, AND THE END RESULTS ARE PERFECT. WISH I HAD HAD THIS BLENDER YEARS AGO!!!

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.

This is my first Vitamix and I noticed the difference right away. The build quality is excellent. The A2500 is very user friendly, looks great on the countertop and most importantly the blend quality is incredible. After getting into açaí bowls and smoothies and trying the Oster it just wouldn't do it with the precision and ease of a Vitamix. I've read a ton of reviews about this machine and unless some people have received defective machines, I don't know why everyone is whining about this model. If the container is too big (not a problem I experienced), select another model. This machine was said to be extremely loud by some reviewers but I have not experienced a level of loud that would require hearing protection. If you are on the fence thinking this isn't a good blender, don't allow the few negative reviews to make you look elsewhere. It has a 10 year warranty. I have been using it every day since I opened the box.

After a lot of research (and considering cheaper blenders), I bought my A2500 about 18 months ago and couldn't be happier. The blending performance is amazing and the metal gears are built to last. I make smoothies and juices at least 3 - 5 times a week. Also have made soups and ice desserts with great success. This has been me and my wife's favourite appliance purchase in a long while. It is quite noisy when running at full power but there is a lot of performance under the hood and for most applications, it only runs for around a minute. I must admit that I don't really use the presets so would have probably bought the A2300 if I had my time again. I prefer the manual feel of lever controls over the touch controls. Bottom line, I'd buy again in a heartbeat and wish I had done so years ago.

We use our Vitamix most days, sometimes multiple times for a meal. It works amazingly well. We use it most often for smoothies and salsas. We have always used our blender a lot, so we have tried a variety of them, from very inexpensive to expensive. This is the best one we’ve ever had.

After using a Ninja blender for years and not being happy with the smoothie consistency I decided that this was the year to try a Vitamix. I went with the ascent because I wanted to make it easy on myself and wife to have a dedicated smoothie button so we could just load up the blender and go about our morning. This Ninja is no comparison to this blender. The smoothies are always silky smooth with no chunks, it even obliterates chia seeds so you don’t know your drinking them. Highly recommend this blender!!

I have had this powerful machine since 02/2019 and this thing can grind/blend just about anything, really. I have made almond butter, hazelnut butter, grind coffee beans, soups, smoothies and pizza dough like I said just about anything!!! I love this little investment of mine.. Today I made apple juice from fresh apples and it turned out so well!! So I thought it is time to give my honest review with it. Over all I am very pleased with it!!

I’m not really impressed with my blender to be honest. It doesn’t blend the ice very well for my smoothie, which for the price it should. I have to add so much liquid just to get it to crush the ice which makes my smoothie so watery. I hardly use it because of this which is such a waste. I think I will try a blendtec blender in the future.

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.
