I’ve only had this 2 days, but my whole family loves this machine! We have already made a Dole Whip, smoothie bowl, and ice cream drink. They all turned out creamy and smooth. We’ve had a Blendtec for 8 years, but felt we were missing out on really smooth smoothies. The tamper is helpful in getting the perfectly blended smoothies and desserts. It is expensive, but so is Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Smoothie King! So far, we are satisfied customers!

I came from a Pro 500 Vitamix and I upgraded to this new Ascent series. It is worth the upgrade and worth the investment. As soon as you open the box you will notice the high quality standard that Vitamix put into this product. I like everything with this blender. At first I thought that the rubber lid will be better, but once you see and hold the new lid, it is very well constructed and the clips on the side is very strong. I like the new container as I noticed that it blends better, less need for the tamper because it is wide and having the huge 4" blade is a plus. It seems that the gears on the container that goes into the drive socket is longer than the old one, which to me it will last longer. The self detect feature is great as well for safety, as you can only run the blender when you place the container on top of the blender base. The blender base is heavy which make it more stable when blending. It is definitely much quieter than the Pro 500 that I had. The rubber pad on the top feels good to the touch which I think helps to reduce the noise. The toggle switch for pulse and start/stop have a great rugged feel to it. The digital timer is one of the great feature of this blender as it shows you for how long you are blending already and when you are using the pre-sets it will show you as to how long it will blend. Overall, this is a great blender. If you want the manual controls, pre-sets, digital timer, the new container and the 10 YEAR WARRANTY!!!. Then, this blender is for you. You can never go wrong with this. I can't wait until the new single single cup container becomes available.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this blender several months ago. I am incredibly disappointed that it frequently overheats and stops working. It has overheated while blending different things, that were not difficult blending jobs.

We love smoothies and now love making our own at home whenever we want. I have been impressed by depth of recipes that vitamix has available for us to make. The blender works great and is easy to use and clean

I’m so happy with my vitamix. My husband did all the shopping, after reading and going through all of the blenders he picked this one, and it is awesome, I love my blender!

I purchased 2 of these blender. It only runs 30 seconds and shut off. It gives me a error message E31. From reading it says the motor is hot. I just took it out of the box.

I bought my A2500 for more than 2 years ago. I just want to tell This blender did a GREAT JOB ! I love it a lot. I use it almost everyday for smoothies and shake even make soup. For sure I am gonna get other accessories

We bought this machine online and it arrived very fast. we were using it within minuets after opening the box. So far we have used it for making Hot soup and Cold smoothies and it worked far better than our previous blenders/mixers.

I bought my Vitamix today!! My kids so excited ask for smoothie and I impress With the results!! We made a apple, banana and cinnamon smoothie and the texture is incredible smooth, richer!! We love it!!

I bought my Vitamix a few years ago and I haven’t stopped using it since. From soups to sauces this blender is top quality and never disappoints. Best kitchen investment anyone can make
