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.

For years I struggled with various blenders to make a basic smoothie. The motor and blades just couldn't handle a few frozen chunks of banana or pineapple. Even blending for oat flour seemed to challenge my blenders to do it well. After years at the top of my Wish List, reading the reviews, taking the 'Which Vitamix is right for you quiz?', and talking to the customer service people, we finally decided to invest. This machine does not disappoint, well, except for one HUGE (to our family) drawback. It is so so so frustrating to make nut butters. I was told this machine could do it and do it well. The process to get a close to smooth almond butter is off the charts frustrating. My spouse is wondering why we spent so much money for smoothies.......

Being a long time Vitamix user, I was comfortable with our 5200 series & its manual controls, but when we got our new A2500 I was totally blown away! I have fallen in love with the digital controls! With timed functions, variable speed control, and a very useful pulse feature, I am loving the versatility of the new control system. Another huge bonus is the shorter/wider blender jar - I much prefer this new size! I am really looking forward to the smaller sized blender cups that are being released soon as well, they will be perfect for small batches of dressings, sauces, etc. I immediately noticed the quieter yet more powerful motor because everything we make is ready in much less time with much less noise! Overall, this blender has totally won me over and it will continue to be the workhorse of our kitchen! I was sent this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

I just received my Vitamix A2500 and in two days, I have used it 5 times already! I transitioned to a Vegan diet about a year ago and was slogging away with soups, smoothies, "nice" cream, sauces and (dear goodness!) cashew cream using a Ninja. Slowly the Ninja was degrading, and I could not get my cashew cream smooth - just wouldn't happen despite soaking (overnight), boiling, (yes, even) microwaving, etc my raw cashews. If you cook Vegan (even sometimes) you know how frequently recipes have you making cashew cream! Smoothies would have "bits" of greens (spinach) and soups would be lumpy. The final decision that I needed to try Vitamix; I used my Ninja for a raw Vegan lemon cheesecake from my favorite cookbook / author and when it set up, the dessert was inedible all because the blending stage fell short! Who wants to eat a 'gritty' cheesecake? A bad blender is probably why many people think Vegan food is unappetizing. Pouring, assembly & cleaning is a breeze (so much better than the Ninja!) I personally like that the blades are affixed in the containers. I would often forget to hold onto (or remove) the Ninja blade for soups after blending, and it would "plop" into my soup pan splashing hot liquid everywhere) during pouring. I've already packed up my former Ninja blender (which is fine for the blending novice / dabbler) and won't be looking back! The Vitamix A2500 has delivered on everything it said it would be for my recipes (I ordered a bit skeptic); I'm honestly, blown away. The soup and smoothie "smart functions" are (definitely) necessary for me. The smoothie was 1 minute! I used the tamper once on the spinach and then done! My 4 year old loved it and wasn't "chewing" his drink. Romesco sauce was silk; asparagus & parsnip soup was liquid (green) gold, and the mocha spiced coffee (Mexican Hot Chocolate) tastes like you used a double boiler. Wow - that's all I keep saying after using this blender. The system is intuitive and I absolutely love the timer function (many of my Vegan cookbook recipes state how long to blend; probably because the author has a Vitamix!) This blender is surely an investment (and not one I made lightly!), but one I am thrilled I finally made. I also purchased the Aer Disc Container accessory (lemonade in minutes - no squeezing or peeling with 1-2 lemons; yes!), which I highly recommend.

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 frickin love my Vitamix A2500! I had been eyeing this for the longest time. I used to own a blendtec, but always knew that vitamix was the best blender. So when it was time to upgrade I did my research on the vitamix models and decided on this one! I also make smoothies almost daily, so really wanted a top notch blender. This blender blends so well, I have put big chunks of celery, ginger, frozen spinach into this and it blends it all down even more finely blended than the blendtec in my opinion. Some small complaints are that the blending container takes a while for me to scrap everything out due to the unique shape, the rubber top motor part where it has the attachment for the container is somewhat hard to clean, and sometimes the lid can be difficult to take off with one hand. Otherwise it's perfect!

Okay, first off, I love my Vitamix. I use it constantly and love to put it to good use. I use my blender for everything, I have owned the A2500 for only about 2 weeks and I have used it more than 8 times. From soup to icecream; I have made it all with no issues. It’s very intuitive and love using the perfect blend application on my iPhone or my iPad when I’m cooking. I like that I don’t have to use the app when i want to make a smoothie or a soup! Sense it has essential programs I don’t have to worry about most of the time. I like that the app recognizes what blender I have and cant wait to get 8 oz and 20 oz containers for small personal items! It’s very simple to clean, just a drop of dish soap and I fill it to the brim. With the amazing snap closure mechanism of the lid and the gasect that keep the liquid from spilling I clean the 64 oz container with ease. I like to use the perfect blend app to turn my Vitamix from a 3 programmed machine to a FULL ( no programmable timer setting sadly); programmed machine just like the Vitamix a3500 with out having to shell out more. So, it’s a win win! Definitely the best blender I have owned. It fits under my counter as well so I’m not complaining. The new design is very chic and perfect for a modern home. It’s super quiet even when I have a small NYC studio! It has a 10 year warranty so I’ll be 35 by then! Ill include some photos and video of my experience. So if you like the convenience of some common programmed settings and the extra smart app capable compatibility I would recommend this to anyone. I would say now though the 64 OZ is a very large container. You can get the smaller 48 ounce and make smaller batches! That will be next.

I use my Vitamix every single day for an after gym smoothie. Its powerful and easy to clean, which is important as I have a busy schedule. I just turn it on "smoothie" and put away the ingredients as it blends and I have a perfect smoothie every time.

This is our first Vitamix. We prefer the manual vs. digital controls of the fancier models and don't miss the extra few presets. I love being able to make completely smooth smoothies and hot soups, my husband loves being able to make crushed ice for cocktails. The food processor attachment is great and allowed us to get rid of four appliances with this one purchase — our old blender and food processor, stick blender, and ice cream maker. The one downside is it's LOUD at top speed, but the results are worth it.

It is my first vitamix. The machine is great but it happened that the container could not be detected until I turned the knob to Speed 1 or the preset programme. I have also got the stainless steel container but have not tried it yet. I hope it can be detected. Fingercross. I purchased the blender to make black bean milk, hot soup, nut butter (haven't tried yet), and some Asian healthy drinks. The black bean milk was so smooth and delicious.
