Being a long time Vitamix user, I was comfortable with our 5200 series & its manual controls, but when we got our new A2500 I was totally blown away! I have fallen in love with the digital controls! With timed functions, variable speed control, and a very useful pulse feature, I am loving the versatility of the new control system. Another huge bonus is the shorter/wider blender jar - I much prefer this new size! I am really looking forward to the smaller sized blender cups that are being released soon as well, they will be perfect for small batches of dressings, sauces, etc. I immediately noticed the quieter yet more powerful motor because everything we make is ready in much less time with much less noise! Overall, this blender has totally won me over and it will continue to be the workhorse of our kitchen! I was sent this product in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are my own.

Bought this a few months ago and thought I'd finally give a review. Been using this consistently a couple of times per week, mainly for smoothies. Recipes are simple and easy to follow. Made some sorbets and hot soups as well. Well worth the investment!

I bought my A2500 Blender 10 months ago. I am very pleased with my purchase. I previously owned a C-Series 6300 Vitamix. The main reason I was interested in the A2500 was for the Smart features. I also purchased the scale at the same time and I now regularly use the Perfect Blend App. I love the app because I have a recipe book of all my favorite smoothies and the flexibility to add new personal recipes. I can quickly make my smoothies without having to measure out anything. The precision on the ratio of ingredients makes for consistent, yummy, and perfectly textured smoothies. My daughters do not care as much about recipes or measurements. This blender is easy for them to use without the app or scale. I love that the blender is shorter than the 6300 series so it fits nicely under my cabinets. My only issue with the size would be that the pitcher is wider so making just one serving does not blend as well. The tamper does not reach the amount of food in the bottom to help. Vitamix does offer a bowl and cup accessories to help make single servings. I am saving up for this.

Perfect blender! Has all the settings needed abs love to be able to control myself. The gray color is beautiful. Blends smoothies so smooth and soups perfectly! Haven’t tried anything other than those 2 things at moment but will update as I do. Very powerful and cleans itself amazingly. Love the 3 presets for things I plan to make most. also just purchased accessories so will review those soon. I love the size of container for huge batches of soup or multiple smoothies or ice cream at once. Plan to get smaller container for every day use.

I came from a Pro 500 Vitamix and I upgraded to this new Ascent series. It is worth the upgrade and worth the investment. As soon as you open the box you will notice the high quality standard that Vitamix put into this product. I like everything with this blender. At first I thought that the rubber lid will be better, but once you see and hold the new lid, it is very well constructed and the clips on the side is very strong. I like the new container as I noticed that it blends better, less need for the tamper because it is wide and having the huge 4" blade is a plus. It seems that the gears on the container that goes into the drive socket is longer than the old one, which to me it will last longer. The self detect feature is great as well for safety, as you can only run the blender when you place the container on top of the blender base. The blender base is heavy which make it more stable when blending. It is definitely much quieter than the Pro 500 that I had. The rubber pad on the top feels good to the touch which I think helps to reduce the noise. The toggle switch for pulse and start/stop have a great rugged feel to it. The digital timer is one of the great feature of this blender as it shows you for how long you are blending already and when you are using the pre-sets it will show you as to how long it will blend. Overall, this is a great blender. If you want the manual controls, pre-sets, digital timer, the new container and the 10 YEAR WARRANTY!!!. Then, this blender is for you. You can never go wrong with this. I can't wait until the new single single cup container becomes available.

I bought the Ascent based on recommendations and reviews. It is definitely a step or two above what I had. I appreciate the power and performance, however was very disappointed that the large container did not do small batches of things very well. I was dismayed that I had to purchase smaller vesicles in order to get the jobs done. With larger batches of things, there is no comparison in speed and power. I grumbled at the thought of having to shell out another couple of hundred dollars to get the cups and smoothie container and another base, but was able to score a deal using points on Amazon. Now that I have all the requisite containers, I'm happy, but I still think that one or another of the smaller containers and base should be part of the package, since one is paying an already outrageous amount for a blender. I do use it several times a week and often more than twice a day. It has changed the way I cook and prepare food.

I absolutely love that I finally spent the money on this product. Load the ingredients just as the instructions in the 'Start Here' pamphlet states and blend as directed and your smoothies will be perfect. I used to have chunky smoothies from leafy greens from my old blender but my Vitamix really gets the job done. I even find myself making more green smoothies because I enjoy them so much more making them in my Vitamix

I bought this vitamix about 18 years ago. I am still using it but it feels like it is giving up the ghost. We have loved it and used it for many different things. We have a daughter who was vegan. My family made the best hummus in the world (I guarantee it!) however I need a new blender and am not sure which model to buy. The kids have gone and we are making homemade dog food to keep our dog alive. My husband is using it now for that and for smoothies in the morning to keep my 94 year old mother who is living with us healthy! The only reason he is using it now is I have taped the fast and furious blender button. My husband used to use it for smoothies and never put the lid on. I cleaned a lot of ceilings and cupboards thanks to him and had to tape that button off because it was so strong. I want th esame blender again. Is it possible? It is VM0103 and is the super vitamix. What model would it compare to now. I want another one and should buy today on Black Friday if they have it for sale in Canada. Thank you vitamix!!!!

I’ve only had this 2 days, but my whole family loves this machine! We have already made a Dole Whip, smoothie bowl, and ice cream drink. They all turned out creamy and smooth. We’ve had a Blendtec for 8 years, but felt we were missing out on really smooth smoothies. The tamper is helpful in getting the perfectly blended smoothies and desserts. It is expensive, but so is Tropical Smoothie Cafe and Smoothie King! So far, we are satisfied customers!

I bought the Vitamix A2500 in Black and I am so glad I did! After a year+ of debating and researching reviews and on and on and on... I decided to just go ahead and spend the money. Now, I don't have the kind of money where I can just go out buying expensive things, so this was a pretty big investment for me. I had high expectations of this product, but this machine is literally everything I wanted and MORE!!! Being vegan, I use this bad boy AT LEAST twice a day, no joke. A smoothie in the morning and Nana Ice Cream at night. The sound is loud during some blends but it's not ridiculous or anything. It sounds like any other blender. The cleaning process is crazy fast. Easier than even the NutriBullet is to clean. I can't compare it to any other Vitamix because this is my first one, but this design is so sharp and I haven't had one clumpy smoothie or ice-cream bowl. It fits perfectly under my cupboards on my counter top. I don't know how I was living without it, seriously. It's a great investment. Thank you.
