I've owned this blender over a year and use it for everything from smoothies to soups, nut butters, and oat milk. I still prefer a food processor for nice cream but I love having a blender strong enough to handle thick smoothies with lots of ingredients!

I bought this Vitamix a month ago and sent it back for a refund. I had a PRO 750 that I sold to buy the new model and I am sick to my stomach I did. This blender looks and feels incredibly cheap, it's lightweight, made mostly of plastic, and I hate the new lid, especially how ingredients kick back up into the lid when blending which never happened with any of the rubber lids from my other 4 Vitamix blender I've owned over the last 4 years. Now, I'm waiting for my refund to go back into my account so I can purchase a new PRO 750 again (stainless steel model). Seriously disappointed with this new Ascent. By the way, speaking of the new self-detect technology, I hate it. I don't like having to depend on the blender to "read" the container. I'd rather just pop the blender on, blend and go. The new lid also looks incredibly cheap versus the old rubber container, as do the knobs on the new Ascent. I can't believe Vitamix would "degrade" their new models with cheap plastic, especially around the base. I thought I was getting an upgrade and have never been so disappointed in my life. Can't wait to get my new PRO 750 to have the best Vitamix option back in my opinion!

I bought my Vitamix 10 months ago and after multiple issues with overheating, not blending even simple recipes it has completely stopped working. I don't blend heavy or difficult things, smoothies, hummus, plant milk mainly, but nevertheless, this machine couldn't handle it. Also, I reached out to customer service and support for a week before giving up and finally calling directly. Very poor experience all around. This is my second bad experience with Vitamix - my previous model wasn't much better than a Ninja or basic blender either - but I thought it might be a lemon. Either I've had two lemons, or this is just not worth the hype.

It is my first vitamix. The machine is great but it happened that the container could not be detected until I turned the knob to Speed 1 or the preset programme. I have also got the stainless steel container but have not tried it yet. I hope it can be detected. Fingercross. I purchased the blender to make black bean milk, hot soup, nut butter (haven't tried yet), and some Asian healthy drinks. The black bean milk was so smooth and delicious.

I wasn’t going to buy a Vitamix. I felt my regular blender was doing a good enough job of making my morning smoothie. Then I watched a side by side comparison between the A2500 and a household blender, and was surprised at how much better the Vitamix did. I’m so glad I ordered it. It makes a really smooth smoothie (no chunks clogging up the straw). I can’t wait to make other things with it.

I bought mine a few month and honestly it is wonderful, you cannot compare it with anything else, it is expensive but it is worth it. All the features are great and does what it is supposed to do. The only thing I will say is that when you are doing frozen drinks it needs a little bit of help to crush all the ice, it can get stuck and you will need the help of the tamper. Having said that, I have never had such a powerful blender before, I love how it blends all the ingredients. I often make pizza sauce with san marzano tomatoes, garlic, basil, salt and pepper and the end result its beautiful, everything it is mix very well and you can't even see the little bit of basil that you will usually see if using another blender. You will see the difference on you first use, a bit loud but it is very, very powerful.

We use our Vitamix most days, sometimes multiple times for a meal. It works amazingly well. We use it most often for smoothies and salsas. We have always used our blender a lot, so we have tried a variety of them, from very inexpensive to expensive. This is the best one we’ve ever had.

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 bought this blender in 2018 and it has been a great addition. I have made smoothies, soups, dips & dressings in it. It can easily handle all tasks. The self-detect system works great and I like the different accessories you can use with the Ascent series.

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.
