I bought my vitamix last week (a purchase I've been dreaming of for years now). I have found that it does not fully blend single-serve smoothies (sadness), but works well for larger batches. I am a bit upset by this given that I mainly make single serve smoothies; it is also nearly impossible to get all of my smoothie out upon mixing. Nevertheless, I am hopefully that in time, the blender will prove to be as wonderful as everyone claims. Maybe I just need to play around with the settings! Any tips for these issues would be greatly appreciated!

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!

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.

I've been a Vitamix customer for years..got the new 2500 series...More QUIET,EASIER to operate and...LOVE the ALL CLEAR container and lid!!☺ Try making Peanut Butter...AMAZINGLY SMOOTH,CREAMY...my little dog LOVES his new treat TOO!!☺ FRESH tomatoe soup is so yummy....y'all ENJOY your VITAMIX....I AM!!!! HAPPY HEALTH!!

Wow is all I can say! I have been a loyal Vitamix customer since the beginning. There truly is nothing else that compares to the power, sleek look, convenience, versatility & recipe enhancement! This new series is even better then I could have expected! A++ Vitamix team! Also - as a vegan I make a ton of homemade nut milks and nut butters on the daily. I can NOT imagine doing this without this machine. Seriously, I made creamy homemade hemp milk (see pictures) in 90 seconds with this A2500. THAT'S it! Life changing! I can't wait to experiment more in the kitchen! Disclaimer: I received a free blender in exchange for an honest review. All opinions and words are my own.

I am beyond disappointed. Purchase the bundle during the Black Friday sales. The blending cup doesn't work consistently. I had to remove all the items from the blending cup and put them in the 64 oz container. There's no manual option when the self-detect isn't functional. I haven't had a problem with the larger container but it defeats the purpose of this product. The only positive is the ease of the return process.

Haven't had the machine for too long but so far have used it to make some sauces and smoothies, and it works great! I misunderstood the timer which is why I am giving 4 stars - you cannot set the timer and turn away unless you are using a preset (in which case it's a set time with no adjustment). When manually blending it just shows you how long you have been blending for.

I purchased my A2500 a few months ago and use it almost daily. Fresh hummus, soups, and smoothies are now featured regularly in my kitchen. The recipe book has some great options! The one thing that I got stuck on was the smoothie cup attachments not being recognized by the sensors on the blender base... but I found a tutorial video that shows how to match up these tiny little arrow markers on the cup and the blade base. Has worked like a charm since, so don’t be discouraged!

I am a first time Vitamix user, I got the A2500....Love it! I have waiting for year to purchase as I had invested in another brand right before learning about Vitamix and so waited before moving to Vitamix....I am not disappointed in the product, my smoothies are finally very very smooth. In my heart this should be a 5 start, except for this challenge. My early takeaway from is specifically relates to the cup and blade, it is ridiculously difficult to tighten the blade onto the single use cup. My hands are smaller and so I spend more time literally fighting to tighten to close and then fight to take the blade off. I have to slightly tilt the cups to get an angle for put some real elbow grease in... :-) Could you consider for later design a type of handle to help out, or maybe if the cups we not so smooth it would help out as well... Thanks.

After years of occasionally using a family members vitamin we finally purchased our own and are so excited to have our own now for our own daily smoothies and the other amazing things we will get to use it for! Have owned it for a few days now and have already used it at least twice a day.
