It’s very versatile and offers so much power but can also do things you wouldn’t expect like dice an onion. I love the look of it on my counter and how simple it is to use. I really appreciate the presets and the digital timer display as well. I have the perfect blend app so I can connect to Bluetooth and add tons more presets for different recipes in the app and it makes using it more enjoyable. Definitely everything I could need in a blender plus some and the ten year warranty is awesome

I have owned my vita mix for A2500 for almost 3 years. I mainly make shakes in it, by that I mean 2-3 shakes a day, everyday, for all 3 years I have owned it. It has never missed a beat. The container is always clean and I have had no issues with any aspect of this blender. My shakes always include frozen fruit, oats, powder, and/or ice. Just as good as the day I bought it.

Okay, first off, I love my Vitamix. I use it constantly and love to put it to good use. I use my blender for everything, I have owned the A2500 for only about 2 weeks and I have used it more than 8 times. From soup to icecream; I have made it all with no issues. It’s very intuitive and love using the perfect blend application on my iPhone or my iPad when I’m cooking. I like that I don’t have to use the app when i want to make a smoothie or a soup! Sense it has essential programs I don’t have to worry about most of the time. I like that the app recognizes what blender I have and cant wait to get 8 oz and 20 oz containers for small personal items! It’s very simple to clean, just a drop of dish soap and I fill it to the brim. With the amazing snap closure mechanism of the lid and the gasect that keep the liquid from spilling I clean the 64 oz container with ease. I like to use the perfect blend app to turn my Vitamix from a 3 programmed machine to a FULL ( no programmable timer setting sadly); programmed machine just like the Vitamix a3500 with out having to shell out more. So, it’s a win win! Definitely the best blender I have owned. It fits under my counter as well so I’m not complaining. The new design is very chic and perfect for a modern home. It’s super quiet even when I have a small NYC studio! It has a 10 year warranty so I’ll be 35 by then! Ill include some photos and video of my experience. So if you like the convenience of some common programmed settings and the extra smart app capable compatibility I would recommend this to anyone. I would say now though the 64 OZ is a very large container. You can get the smaller 48 ounce and make smaller batches! That will be next.

This is my first Vitamix blender. I purchased it to make smoothies. Big gamble. Epic failure. The smoothie function is underwhelming. Disastrous. The ingredients I use are 1.5 cups milk, protein powder, a fresh banana, ½ cup of frozen berries and 4 small ice cubes. I make sure to add them in the recommended order. In the month that I’ve owned it, the blender takes at least three passes to produce a smoothie. And I find myself constantly using the tool the push, mix, and clear air pockets. I’ve owned blenders sold at less than half the price of this blender that performed twice as better. Highly disappointed this blender cannot peform such a simple task.

I use my Vitamix every single day for an after gym smoothie. Its powerful and easy to clean, which is important as I have a busy schedule. I just turn it on "smoothie" and put away the ingredients as it blends and I have a perfect smoothie every time.

Well my 2500 arrived today! Wow!! I've made granny smith apple juice. Then I proceed too make mango, stawberry, kale, banana with some fresh Rosemary, flax seed, ginger and coconut powder smoothie. It was so yummy and filling. Having had the personal S30 this machine is loud...but who cares. It is powerful, and looks great in my kitchen. Thank you Vitamix for an amazing machine. Tomorrow is a new day...I think a Vitamix soup is in order.

I have a A2500 Vitamix since a few months. For me, Vitamix is a number one to have in a kitchen. Soup, smoothie, spread, tofu cheese, sauces and so many things are ready in a few minutes. I enjoy cut vegetables in a few seconds to make an amazing coleslaw. If I enjoy this product, to have this quality of results, I need to accept the noise of the machin. I’m hoping some day, Vitamix will find a way to make a quiet one.

I just received my Vitamix A2500 and in two days, I have used it 5 times already! I transitioned to a Vegan diet about a year ago and was slogging away with soups, smoothies, "nice" cream, sauces and (dear goodness!) cashew cream using a Ninja. Slowly the Ninja was degrading, and I could not get my cashew cream smooth - just wouldn't happen despite soaking (overnight), boiling, (yes, even) microwaving, etc my raw cashews. If you cook Vegan (even sometimes) you know how frequently recipes have you making cashew cream! Smoothies would have "bits" of greens (spinach) and soups would be lumpy. The final decision that I needed to try Vitamix; I used my Ninja for a raw Vegan lemon cheesecake from my favorite cookbook / author and when it set up, the dessert was inedible all because the blending stage fell short! Who wants to eat a 'gritty' cheesecake? A bad blender is probably why many people think Vegan food is unappetizing. Pouring, assembly & cleaning is a breeze (so much better than the Ninja!) I personally like that the blades are affixed in the containers. I would often forget to hold onto (or remove) the Ninja blade for soups after blending, and it would "plop" into my soup pan splashing hot liquid everywhere) during pouring. I've already packed up my former Ninja blender (which is fine for the blending novice / dabbler) and won't be looking back! The Vitamix A2500 has delivered on everything it said it would be for my recipes (I ordered a bit skeptic); I'm honestly, blown away. The soup and smoothie "smart functions" are (definitely) necessary for me. The smoothie was 1 minute! I used the tamper once on the spinach and then done! My 4 year old loved it and wasn't "chewing" his drink. Romesco sauce was silk; asparagus & parsnip soup was liquid (green) gold, and the mocha spiced coffee (Mexican Hot Chocolate) tastes like you used a double boiler. Wow - that's all I keep saying after using this blender. The system is intuitive and I absolutely love the timer function (many of my Vegan cookbook recipes state how long to blend; probably because the author has a Vitamix!) This blender is surely an investment (and not one I made lightly!), but one I am thrilled I finally made. I also purchased the Aer Disc Container accessory (lemonade in minutes - no squeezing or peeling with 1-2 lemons; yes!), which I highly recommend.

This is our first Vitamix. We prefer the manual vs. digital controls of the fancier models and don't miss the extra few presets. I love being able to make completely smooth smoothies and hot soups, my husband loves being able to make crushed ice for cocktails. The food processor attachment is great and allowed us to get rid of four appliances with this one purchase — our old blender and food processor, stick blender, and ice cream maker. The one downside is it's LOUD at top speed, but the results are worth it.

Oh this is my third vita mix. I gave my 5200 am I a series two friends who could not afford one. I’ve had these sent 2500 for about two years end it is a real superstar in my kitchen. I use it mostly for soups and smoothies and it works perfectly. The small bowls perfect for small batches of salad dressings, humus and the like. It would be nice to have a larger smoothie jar say 24 ounces I said is typically the size of smoothie I drink. Maybe someday!
