Vitamix A2500 was purchased after I have gone through so many brands and finally decided to try Vitamix. I called one of their customer service to advise me between the 2500 and 3500, we both agreed that 2500 will do the job, especially since 3500 was out of stock. The agent herself assured she uses the same blender and she gets the blending done. I have not regretted my choice, I purchased extra 2 containers- one dedicated to smoothies and the other a 48oz dry container. My only concern is the burning cable smell when you use the blender, other than than, it all good so far.

We just upgraded our 12 year old Vitamix, and I love the new features on this machine! I have two small kids at home and being able to to just switch to the correct setting without having to watch the blender is such a great time saver! Also, while it might seem silly to some, the fact that it can fit on my counter under the upper cabinets makes my life so much easier as it can now just live on my counter.

After years of using a ho-hum blender that constantly struggled, we our in love with our new Vitamix A2500! Not only is it a workhorse countertop appliance, but it also looks great, so I'm happy to give it a permanent home on our kitchen counter. The controls are easy to use, and it does a great job blending everything from salad dressings to soups to pancake batter. We haven't had a single problem with it; it has handled every job we've given it beautifully. We use it a lot for smoothies, so the pre-programmed smoothie setting is particularly helpful. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our A2500. I was sent this product for free in exchange for an honest review. The above opinions are my own.

I so wanted to love this machine after reading all the glowing reviews. After using it for 3 weeks, I have been sorely disappointed in its performance, especially for making smoothies. I followed the instructions and did not overload the smoothie cups and made sure to add the liquid last. Every single time I tried it, the machine just stops after few seconds and refuses to blend. I have to pour my mixture into the large pitcher to finish blending. Not what I had in mind. I will be attempting to return this item.

I bought my Vitamix a couple months ago because I had been wanting a high powered blender that I could rely on for years to come. I am so impressed with this one compared to other's I have tried in the past and look forward to getting different adaptors to try out new recipes! (tried making a small serving of pesto in the large container and the blades didn't even touch the ingredients so will definitely need to invest in the blender cup or bowls)

I've had my Vitamix for a little over 2 years and I will never go back to a standard blender. I've made smoothies, blended mixed drinks, soups, sauces, salsas, even chocolate mousse. Every time they come out perfect. I know it's a big investment but you wont regret it.

I've been using my vitamix A2500 for 8 months now and I love it, it really helped to have certain help when I choose smoothie that the time is set on the screen. I love the clear lid and how clear it is I can see everything. I also love that you can switch out the container and use an 8 oz jar or 20 oz jar super convenient.

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.

I have had my Vitamix for 8 months now & am so glad I made the purchase. It was a big jump for me to spend this much money on a blender but now I am totally confident that it was worth every penny. My spouse & I use our Vitamix multiple times every day. We use it for coffee, smoothies, sauces, nut butters, chopping, and so much more! It is more than worth its counter space in my tiny kitchen. The reason that I took off one star is because I think for the price that the Vitamix should come with the essential accessories like the spatula & the under blade scraper.

I bought my Vitamix about 6 months ago. Honestly, I was sceptical. I thought it was a bit expensive for a blender but having gone through a generic brand and another more well known brand in a few years, I thought let's give this a shot. The 10 year warranty was encouraging. I'm just amazed with this thing. It blends so much better than any of the others I owned. I love using the app to walk me through recipes and having it blend for me! I'm never going back to anything else.
