We have had our Vitamix for a month, and it is the best tool in my kitchen. We are vegan eaters, so having the ability to mix and blend veggies to make sauces, soups, nut milks, smoothies, and juices is really important for our diet. Last night, I used our Vitamix to make cashew milk and spinach soup. The only 'recommendation' that I have is do not use the 'soup' setting on the device unless you need a really airy soup. The soup setting makes the soups frothy which isn't always what you want in a soup. Other than that, I highly recommend this kitchen device!

I love that the Vitamix and Vitamix food processor is efficient and saves me a lot of time so I can bake homemade healthy breads and muffins using fresh fruits and veggies. I love how the food processor slices and grates quickly so I can make more homemade soups, smoothies and other healthy veggie meals.

Horribly disappointed! I don't know if we just got a lemon or if this is what everyone experiences with their machines but I had such high hopes. Blending is a nightmare. It always smells like something is burning. If iStart on low speed and try to increase it - no matter what it gets stuck around 4-6. Just stops. I use the tamper but something just doesn't seem right and we truly are not enjoying it at all.

Absolutely nothing wrong with this machine; I love the program settings, and it's a breeze to use and clean. I have an issue with textures and lumpy drinks (dry-heave) - now my smoothies are the smoothest consistency I could have imagined. The red unit looks great on the countertop too. Only thing I would improve is having the dial register a subtle 'click' to acknowledge each speed when you turn it, but that's being very picky. The machine and recipe book are worth every penny, the speed, ease and quality of food we've prepared for our growing family have made this a life-changing investment.

I have not used all the features yet and am excited to use it for soups and frozen deserts soon. I have used it extensively to make healthy smoothies and am so pleased with the consistency of my drinks. It blasts it's way through kale and every kind of fruit or vegetable I give it. I do have a hard time with getting the cover off because it clips on which is new for me, but overall would give it a strong 4.5 stars.

I bought my Vitamix and am really glad I did, my boyfriend makes a smoothie every morning and I have one for lunch, I always used to get frustrated when I went to places that didn't make my smoothies thick enough, now I create the right blend with no sugar.

This blender is absolutely fantastic. I was wondering if it was worth the money, and it definitely is. This thing can blend huge amounts of ice without a problem. It's super easy to use, to clean, and not very loud. It has many more uses than I knew, excited to use it to its full potential!

I bought the Vitamix because I found out I have high cholesterol and I wanted to increase the fibre and veggies in my diet. It has been so great! I can make delicious whole food smoothies and frozen desserts. I love how it is so powerful and I can incorporate nuts into anything! I also purchased the food processor attachment which I have to say is not as good. I have used it a couple times and I could have easily just used the blender attachment. I recommend buying the A2500 which will give you the option of attachments but wait to see if you actually need it.

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!

We purchased our Vitamix machine approximately 2 months ago and although we have only utilized it for plant based smoothies, we have been very pleased with the functionality and the simplicity of the preset functions(hit the preset selection and walk away). It is also very convenient not having to take it completely apart to clean.
