We needed to upgrade our blender from an old hand-me-down and was also looking for a food processor when Vitamix said they could do both. After a lot of research we decided to get this model with the additional food processor accessory, and couldn't be happier.

This is the fourth Vita Mix I've purchased. The first was in the 90's. When we moved, I gave it to my Daughter in Law and bought a new one for the new place. The second one had a little different style and I had that one for 10 years. During that time I bought one for our boat as I didn't like to haul the home one there on the weekends. When my husband of 49 years passed last year, I gave all our stuff to our kids and others. I just couldn't keep OUR stuff. I needed to start over, which included another Vitamix. I tried a different, less expensive brand thinking I really didn't need the Vitamix, but after the first week, I gave the other one away and purchased another Vitamix. I use it for shakes, smoothies, salad dressing, soups and other things. Would the be without one!

Almost 8 years ago I was given my first Vitamix 5200. I was still undergoing chemotherapy and in the process I had determined to change my diet. I loved using my vitamix and when the S30 came out, I bought one to make my mayonaisse and salad dressing. When the Mother's Day special started this year, a dear friend in Maine decided under my prodding to purchase the A2500. Every time we were together our conversation would always end up talking about food prep in my Vitamix versus her ******. While viewing the A2500 online with her and helping her to order it, I decided I needed to have one also! I wasn't sure I needed it. After all, I already had 2 different products from Vitamix I loved! The day my new machine arrived, we were leaving on a trip. Before we left I just had to make my mayonnaise and Blueberry vinaigrette dressing. This new blender totally surprised me! The wider base and the new attachments make this machine my new favorite!!! If you have a basic model or have had your Vitamix for years, you might not see the need for one of these new machines. I felt the exact same way, but I am here to tell you that you will be amazed by the difference. Thank you, Vitamix for this amazing machine!!

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.

I like the look of this blender. It has a strong motor. I like icy smoothies so I have to use the blender plunger every time I make one. I was hoping that wouldn't be necessary. I really like the pitcher. It's a little heavier than my past blenders but very high quality and a nice spout. I'd like to know if using the plunger for a smoothie is normal.

My old Vitamix died several months ago (after 20+ years!). Hubby wanted to save some money and talked me into a "N...". After owning a Vitamix, the "N" just couldn't live up to his expectations. He had to eat crow and told me to go ahead and order a new Vitamix. He loves having fresh soup and really smooth Smoothies. In the long run, a Vitamix is worth every penny.

Love vitamix- but this ones struggles to fully blend certain items without excess liquid-i.e. cashews for cashew cream, frozen fruits for smoothies. I could do all of these things with my original vitamix, but I now have to add so much liquid that the items become watery. Would not recommend to purchase

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 always had higher end blenders and put off buying my Vitamix for years. Now that I’ve had it about a month, I am so mad I waited this long! By far the smoothest smoothies, blended nut milks and soups. It is worth every dollar I spent. I just wish I would have made the purchase sooner. I use this every day, sometimes 3 times a day! Don’t put off your purchase any longer!!

I have had this blender for a month now and i love it...it blends ingredients so smooth and evenly...i have a problem if i feel lumps in my smoothie and this blender solves that problem....i only wish i spent a little more to get the vitamix that is a little more quiet...with the steel base
