This amazing blender is taking chores away from my food processor. Besides making the smoothest smoothies ever, without complaining about chunky items, this makes hummus and pesto better, and easier, than my food processor. Great for gazpacho as well. Can't wait to try hot soups as the weather cools.

This product really did improve our lives in many ways. We use it several times a day (smoothies, sauces, soups, nut butters, etc). My 2 year old daughter loves it and has even dabbled in trying green smoothies. Customer service is outstanding as well. Some of the friendliest folks, and most straightforward resolution of issues.

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.

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

I have always had higher end blenders and put off buying my Vitamix for years. Now that I’ve had it about a month, I am so mad I waited this long! By far the smoothest smoothies, blended nut milks and soups. It is worth every dollar I spent. I just wish I would have made the purchase sooner. I use this every day, sometimes 3 times a day! Don’t put off your purchase any longer!!

This thing is a BEAST but worth the hype! It’s extremely loud but I can deal with loud no problem....I will say that the NutriBullet does just as well so if you’re trying to conserve on costs just go with the cheaper NutriBullet I still have mine and will use it when needed. It’s lasted years...

It is very powerful blender, it has settings for smoothies and soups, i use those a’lot and like it a’lot. There is only one downfall, they say its bluetooth ready, but the app cant connect to it and do anything to it, it sees it but does not when connected ln app still shows no connection. So its worthless! Follow directions on what to put first inside the cup, soft stuff first then harder stuff after and add lil water for each smoothie, maybe one full cup, then add ice last, the water will really help with grinding/blending process to blend it to the perfection. If you do that step, there wont be any need for the plastic baton to push the ingredients down toward the blade. I rarely use the baton, only maybe sometimes when theres lots of ice. Its somewhat not that loud, everything gets done within 50 secs usually and its good to go. For soups i will say that adding some hot water to it will help it cook better nd you wont have to wait long 6 mins to get soup done it will be done faster. Also when you make soups, add tortila chips or crackers last 5-10 seconds to make it little chunkier. Always wash it by adding water nd drop of dish soap, and let it blend on high for 5-10seconds take it off an rinse, for smoothies, and for soups do same step but at the end flip the cup upside down nd let it dry like that, so the ingredient smells dont get stuck with it for long nd they air out, like garlic or onion type of smell, even when washed. Have fun with it, you bought it so use it everyday, i know the food or smoothies that i make in it are healthy for me and it will be same for you just keep making stuff with it.

After much debate and comparison I decided to take the plunge and purchase a Vitamix. Love It!!! I don't know what I was waiting for, wish I had bought it sooner, such a powerful blender, I use it every morning making a smoothie. Creamiest smoothie ever!

I bought my Vitamix 2 months ago and I honestly wish that I had purchased it sooner. I was initially reluctant to spend so much money on a blender but I can honestly say you get what you pay for. The only downside is that the container is big so it does not work well for smaller batches.

I purchased the A2500 model a little over a month ago and overall I am quite pleased with it. In retrospect, however, I should have saved $50 and purchased the A2300 model. The 3 programs that are on the 2500 are really of little value other than when you use them the machine shuts itself off when the cycle is done. In all honesty I wouldn't miss that feature if I didn't have it. The unit is quite loud but not a surprise since the motor is so powerful. Seems to be very well built.
