[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my Vitamix A2500 for around two months now and have used it many times. I've made lots of smoothies, some sauces, tried my hand at peanut butter, and have used it in pureeing. I can say that I am very happy with how it performs. It makes the smoothies smooth and it does a great job of grinding up cashews in a soup base. The only thing I've ever had an issue with is doing ice cream or pureeing lentils. The contents gets real thick and it's hard to keep it moving. I've had it give me an error message after that but I just let it cool down and it's seemed to have worked fine ever since. I bought it mostly to use in my new eating of Nutritarian eating. It is working very well compared to my old Oster brand mixer. That one didn't chop up the spinach as smooth or even the cashews in a soup base. I am very pleased with my purchase and look forward to many years of use from it!

I bought the Vitamix to replace our 30 year old Oster and am pleased so far. It does the job it is supposed to by turning leafy greens and hard vegies into liquid protean packed drinks to replace lunch or breakfast every day. Lost 10 lbs. and feeling good!

This is my first Vitamix and I love it! I used to wonder why someone would spend so much money on a blender- but now I get it. It's so much more than a blender. I have used it so far for smoothies, almond milk and mayonnaise. All have turned out great, can't wait to try out more new recipes. I'm pretty sure this guy could tackle anything.

I have owned a Vitamix for the past 11 years. I recently upgraded to the A2500. I really like the look and feel of the new clear color lid. I also purchased the 48 ounce container, along with the blending bowl starter kit and the blending cups. I do cooking demonstrations and batch cooking. The versatility of this appliance and added attachments makes the Vitamix an appliance that I use every day. I have been using the A2500 for a little over a month and absolutely love it.

After replacing blenders every year or two, I finally took the plunge and got a Vitamix. I wish I hadn’t waited so long! Not only does it work better than any blender I’ve ever owned, but it’s made in America and won’t contribute to a landfill. I’m thrilled to be part of the Vitamix family.

This amazing blender is taking chores away from my food processor. Besides making the smoothest smoothies ever, without complaining about chunky items, this makes hummus and pesto better, and easier, than my food processor. Great for gazpacho as well. Can't wait to try hot soups as the weather cools.

This blender is absolutely fantastic. I was wondering if it was worth the money, and it definitely is. This thing can blend huge amounts of ice without a problem. It's super easy to use, to clean, and not very loud. It has many more uses than I knew, excited to use it to its full potential!

This product really did improve our lives in many ways. We use it several times a day (smoothies, sauces, soups, nut butters, etc). My 2 year old daughter loves it and has even dabbled in trying green smoothies. Customer service is outstanding as well. Some of the friendliest folks, and most straightforward resolution of issues.

So far we have been very happy with our Vitamix purchase. We have mainly used it for smoothies, but it really blends everything together so well, and clean-up is really easy. I had been resisting buying a Vitamix for a long time because they are quite pricey. Prior to getting our Vitamix, we had been using some of the bullet type blenders to make smoothies, but they didn't last, and often had problems. It seemed that we were replacing those bullet blenders rather frequently. I finally had enough of going through cheaper blenders and decided to purchase a Vitamix. When we selected our Vitamix, we chose one with a 10 year warranty. I figured that I'd spend about the same amount as the Vitamix going through bullet type blenders over the next 10 years, so it made the expense of the Vitamix a bit easier to take. So far, I have no regrets about making this investment. I'm hoping that it will be more than 10 years before I have to buy a new blender. If I have one criticism about the blender so far, it would be that the fluid ounce markings and corresponding lines on the blender are very hard to read/see. It makes measuring ingredients directly in the blender a little bit difficult, and I have to use a separate measuring cup to make sure I'm getting the correct amount of an ingredient.

I've been familiar with Vitamix's blenders for a long time, and just received the A2500 as a gift. I decided on this blender over other Vitamix blenders because I was excited about the smart detect technology and the compatibility with the food processor attachment. When the blender arrived, I was shocked at how cheap it looked. Right out of the box there were some nicks on the plastic and the entire base is comprised of plastic pieces that don't seem durable. The see-through container and snap on lid, while I understand it's purpose, seems less durable than the black lids. The tamper is what I was most shocked about as it resembles a bowling pin, hollow and cheaply assembled. I've talked to other Vitamix owners about this and the consensus seems that Vitamix has decreased it's quality over the past few years. I'm glad there is a 10 year warranty. I was honestly hoping for more and wasn't expecting this level of disappointment. Are Vitamix's just gonna get more cheap??
