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!

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 had used my old Vitamix for 10 years. this year I finally decided to get a new one and trade in the old one! the one Vitamix A2500 is Superb!! I love it! I use it every morning to make my green smoothie. Love the pre-set smoothie function that take the guess out of the game. 50 seconds and I super yummy smoothie! cleaning is super easy. I still want to explore the other functions! Plan to use this one for another 10 years!!

Bought it for my wife for Christmas. Opened it early, amazing product. Still fully learning how to use it, but a superior product nonetheless. Aside from the A2500 that arrives, customer service of this company has been very good in a time where it seems to be a lost art with other companies.

Hands-down an amazing blender for smoothies, almond milk, soup, & anything liquid... it always gives perfect results and silky smooth texture. However, for thicker things like hummus, it works okay but requires frequent scraping and stirring to get any sort of consistent result (I think my classic wide-blade food processor worked better for those types of things).

I bought my new Vitamix A2500 to replace my 5200 which I planned to give to a friend. I liked the features mentioned in your overview and the fact that it can not only use the large container but the single serve smoothie and the 8 oz containers as well. I use the single serve containers with the flip top lids on an almost daily basis to start my day with a fruit and veggie drink, and this particular model works much better than the the competition, leaving my breakfast drink with no bits, seeds, or traces of skin from berries. The small cup is perfect for making salad dressings. Thank you for another dynamic product!

I got my Vitamix for Christmas as a key component of my new Plant Paradox diet. I am glad I got it! My smoothies are super easy to make thanks to the smoothie dial setting. I throw everything in then, voila. Same goes for soup and the soup setting. Totally works as advertised and heats the soup. Extremely happy so far.

I was very hesitant to purchase a blender due to the initial sticker shock, but finally did so without talking to the husband. After receiving it he was so happy with the product he did not care. The Vitamix is used daily in our house for smoothies, homemade nut butters, soups, etc and we always get the best results. Our children who previously did not care for our plant packed smoothies now drink them without batting an eye. The entire family has enjoyed this purchase. With such a nice long warranty the initial price is actually right on par, if not cheaper, than buying a new blender every few years because the other bit the dust. We look forward to many years with this awesome product!

We owned our original Vitamix for over eight years and loved it. A family member has it now and it's still working great! This year, we decided to buy a new one. It's EVEN BETTER! We love the timer, the pre-programed speeds, the wider interior container, pulsing option, the sturdier base. . . all of it! We use it at least once or twice a day. We wouldn't change a thing!

they are requesting i do this review. but i have not had the machine for very long. so its a bit premature to give a accurate review. The biggest negative was the price. Its super expensive. But it is American made. If it were not, i would not have been willing to pay that much for it. i do like the features it has. if you want to make a smoothie, you turn the dial to the picture of the smoothie and press start button and it runs the machine at one speed for several seconds and then speeds up at appropriate time and when its done it stops and the results are the smoothie comes out perfect. with a ordinary blender, you'd have to adjust the speeds manually and check it until you got it where you wanted. but it does have a way to do it manually if you didn't like using their preset settings for smoothie and a couple other items, i forget right now what they are. one thing they could improve on is i am not jazzed about the plastic container. wished it was glass. also the lid has a twist off center cap, which is hard to twist off easily. its somewhat hard to pull up to add some water/juice or some thing through that opening. but overall, thats a minor issue. other thing is when its on full throttle, its kind of loud, like most blenders. possibly future models could be designed to operate more quietly.
