My infant daughter has severe eczema and so I've had to go on a strict elimination diet for 9 weeks and counting as I slowly reintroduce foods. I had been waiting years and years to buy a new blender, and I knew I wanted a Vitamix to make truly smooth blends. The 10 year warranty on the Ascent models made the choice for me. I am SO SO glad to have had another way to get my nutrition when it feels like I've been so deprived. Adding spinach or carrots to my fruit smoothie with some collagen powder has made this time so much easier. Be careful not to overdue it will ingredients (the vitamix can handle it easily, but your gut is not made to process that volume of fiber - and it's easy to add to much sugar, even in the form of fruit). Very satisfied with my purchase!

I waited 9 years to buy one. I finally did and I am in love with it. Use it every day since I got it a few months ago. It clean up is quick and easy. I highly recommend the A2500. The representative helped me via phone determine which model would work for my needs. Love it!

I have been wanting a Vitamix for the longest time. I finally decided to go for it in November. So glad I did. Being a first time user I decided on the A2500 instead of the A2300 because of the presets. I am glad I did. I like the convenience of just selecting the smoothie option. Greens just disappear into the smoothie and the to go jars are awesome, as are the little jars when you just need to chop a small amount of something. I also bought the Aer Disc which I enjoy as well. Very happy with my blender and I am looking forward to trying more recipes in the future.

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.

Finally Got Myself this Great Piece of Machinery! Now I can really enhance my energy & nutrition. I dreaded the cleanup of the thousand parts belonging to my old juicer & my Magic Bullet was NOT MAGIC at all when it suddenly died! So the cash Spent for this Vitamix was WELL SPENT

I was very hesitant to purchase a blender due to the initial sticker shock, but finally did so without talking to the husband. After receiving it he was so happy with the product he did not care. The Vitamix is used daily in our house for smoothies, homemade nut butters, soups, etc and we always get the best results. Our children who previously did not care for our plant packed smoothies now drink them without batting an eye. The entire family has enjoyed this purchase. With such a nice long warranty the initial price is actually right on par, if not cheaper, than buying a new blender every few years because the other bit the dust. We look forward to many years with this awesome product!

I've had my Vitamix A2500 for over a month now and love it. I have made smoothies for friends and they are convinced they need one as well. After having a Vitamix smoothie, you will never again want to use any other blender. Worth the money and with a 10 year warrantee, you can't go wrong.

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.

It is a wonderful machine, generally. Occasionally it trips the breaker (dedicated 20 amp circuit) and i'm not sure why. It's a bit too loud when making smoothies and top speeds. We haven't adventured into the world of milks, butters, and the trendy sorts of culinary creations but we may one day. I'm not too keen about pouring hot soups into it as the container's plastic. Overall it's a nice complement to our kitchen appliances.

Not what I expected. I don't see a significant difference between this machine's performance and my other blenders although it costs 4X more. It still struggled with the same things my traditional machine struggled with (i.e. salsa's and the dry container with creating nut flours). What other machines processed well, this processed well. Don't see the cost per performance
