I love the heavy duty machine and the features I chose. It seems to blend everything it says it will, but my ice cubes do not completely get crushed. All other products do so far. I changed my ice settings on the freezer to crushed so that seems to work better. Its clean and sleek. I have made individual smoothies and even though the container is large, it does just fine. I'm waiting for my individual cups. They are supposed to come today. I can't wait to try them. Less water for cleaning :) I'm also anxiously waiting the smaller cup sizes. I have a grandson, now 8 months old and I want to make his food when he visits. I also want to make sauces, dips and dressings in smaller quantities. Hopefully those will be available soon.

Putting your Vitamix on the counter to show it off would be great after spending over $700.00 to buy it but not the way the container reacts after only one month of use. The fact that this problem has been ongoing for quite awhile (and the most frequent complaint to Vitamix) makes me wonder. It turns a foggy grey - to clean it we started with the Vitamix cleaning method, then vinegar and water, bleach and water, denture capsule and water, CLR and water and finally a Mr. Clean magic pad and a lot of elbow grease. We are now using the Vitamix method after every use with warm water, vinegar, water and drying it by hand - not as we were cleaning it after every use in warm soapy water and air drying. The container is also not a warranty item and would only cost you over $200.00 to replace - makes the Vitamix a real deal. Wish I had known about this 2 months ago.

Love my new Vitamix! My almond milk is so much more creamy and thick, the blender is able to extract so much more out of the almonds. Even my 5 year old notices the difference! I have a smoothie almost daily now because I can’t pass up using my vitamix.

I am enjoying our vitamix A2500 very much since purchased, using it nearly on a daily basis. I chose the A2500 over other legacy models because I like the self detect feature that automatically detects the size of the blender container and adjusts the preprogrammed dial selections accordingly. Additionally, the 10 year warranty and versatility of the machine were priorities in my decision to purchase as I believe firmly in buying quality products and service. The machine itself is obviously of professional grade and quality engineering, compared to other consumer grade appliances available through retailers.

Updated to a newer model - last on had the touch screen and I bought it for the preset functions went up in price to get them and went with a reconditioned model to do so. I like the dial much better on the A2500 and now with the app you really don’t need to go up to the next level to get the 5 presets. Takes seconds to pick the program you want on the app. Fabulous addition to the convenience end. Oh and the A2500 is just awesome!

I love it! It’s quiet and powerful! 4 instead of 5 stars because I don’t like the single serve blending cup attachments I bought to go along with it. They have a hard time finding the sensor and are not as powerful. I recommend getting the 48oz bowl as another option instead of the single serves.

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??

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!

I've had my Vitamix A2500 for over a month now and love it. I have made smoothies for friends and they are convinced they need one as well. After having a Vitamix smoothie, you will never again want to use any other blender. Worth the money and with a 10 year warrantee, you can't go wrong.

We love it, this was the first time we bought this blender. Debating over other brands, finally after reading the reviews, bought this. Very easy to use, easy to wash and easy to handle. I should not complain but we felt its bit loud while running, maybe its normal for this powerful motor.
