I bought the Vitamix A2500 in Black and I am so glad I did! After a year+ of debating and researching reviews and on and on and on... I decided to just go ahead and spend the money. Now, I don't have the kind of money where I can just go out buying expensive things, so this was a pretty big investment for me. I had high expectations of this product, but this machine is literally everything I wanted and MORE!!! Being vegan, I use this bad boy AT LEAST twice a day, no joke. A smoothie in the morning and Nana Ice Cream at night. The sound is loud during some blends but it's not ridiculous or anything. It sounds like any other blender. The cleaning process is crazy fast. Easier than even the NutriBullet is to clean. I can't compare it to any other Vitamix because this is my first one, but this design is so sharp and I haven't had one clumpy smoothie or ice-cream bowl. It fits perfectly under my cupboards on my counter top. I don't know how I was living without it, seriously. It's a great investment. Thank you.

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.

I am a born-again foodie and have wanted a Vitamix in my kitchen for well over 10 years. This Christmas, my dear husband said he would buy, but then handed off to me because he wanted me to pick model and type. I purchased a refurbished 5200 and could NOT be happier with it. In the first week, I made hummus, countless smoothies for my 'tween, hot broccoli chicken soup, whipped cream and hot chocolate (AER container), pizza dough, pancakes, and bread (dry grains container). I love that I can grind whole oat groats and wheat berries into fresh pancakes for my family. I adore this machine and I use it more than once every day. It is, as they say, a game-changer. I have named her Gidget (because she's an amazing gadget) and I plan to love her and take care of her and make her a part of my kitchen routine for years and years to come!

I have had my Vitamix for 8 months now & am so glad I made the purchase. It was a big jump for me to spend this much money on a blender but now I am totally confident that it was worth every penny. My spouse & I use our Vitamix multiple times every day. We use it for coffee, smoothies, sauces, nut butters, chopping, and so much more! It is more than worth its counter space in my tiny kitchen. The reason that I took off one star is because I think for the price that the Vitamix should come with the essential accessories like the spatula & the under blade scraper.

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.

I was on the fence about spending so much on a blender. However, the reviews were mostly glowing, so I bit the bullet and went for it. Since the blender arrived over a month ago, I think I’ve used it every single day. I’ve made smoothies, nut butter, frozen desserts, and soup. I’ve used it to process various raw ingredients, like blending spices or chopping onions or garlic (note: it doesn’t work as well at chopping as I had hoped, but I don’t think that’s really the purpose of the blender). Now, it takes a little getting used to. I’m still learning how to make sure I add enough liquid and how to use the tamper. There have been a few frustrating moments when it just wouldn’t blend what I had in it (like on hummus or frozen desserts), but I’m learning that I just have to use the tamper and constantly push down pretty hard to get things moving. Overall, I think I’m getting the hang of it now. I think my only complaint at this point is getting anything thick out of it. Working around the blades while scraping is pretty annoying...but it actually is less annoying on this blender than on any other blender I’ve owned. The power of this thing is really incredible....and our whole family is eating healthier. I would definitely purchase this again...but hopefully I won’t have to for a long time!

I received my blender last week and I can't begin to tell you how much I love it, my entire family for that matter. We are huge smoothie fans over here and on most days that's our breakfast. I like to get a jump on this in the early morning hours and I was over the moon with how quiet it is! That's a HUGE plus in my book. Nothing say good morning like a noisy blender going for 10 minutes. Smoothies made in record time and out the door we go! And the power behind this baby is AWESOME. No more measuring cups or waiting on things to blend before adding another ingredient. I recently had fun experimenting with a new recipe using pistachios and the texture came out so smooth and even. I can't say enough, It's my new kitchen must have! I was sent this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions above are my own.

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 tried an A3500 and it barely worked at all from all the errors, however, this one actually worked without any issues. The on/off and pulse switches feels very cheap compared to the older models I've owned, such as the Vitamix 7500. The older models switches worked really well and you can fell when it's on since there's a click vs this model where there is no click so it feels really cheap.

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!!
