I have a A2500 Vitamix since a few months. For me, Vitamix is a number one to have in a kitchen. Soup, smoothie, spread, tofu cheese, sauces and so many things are ready in a few minutes. I enjoy cut vegetables in a few seconds to make an amazing coleslaw. If I enjoy this product, to have this quality of results, I need to accept the noise of the machin. I’m hoping some day, Vitamix will find a way to make a quiet one.

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 have tried so many blenders -- the magic bullet, oyster, fruit ninja and nothing compares to the vitamix. this stuff blends all my vegetables and fruits into fine pieces and nothing is every chunky or still not mixed. i had always wanted one and i'm so happy my husband invested into it. we love making pasta sauces, smoothies and smoothie bowls with our blender. the best!!!!

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.

After using a Ninja blender for years and not being happy with the smoothie consistency I decided that this was the year to try a Vitamix. I went with the ascent because I wanted to make it easy on myself and wife to have a dedicated smoothie button so we could just load up the blender and go about our morning. This Ninja is no comparison to this blender. The smoothies are always silky smooth with no chunks, it even obliterates chia seeds so you don’t know your drinking them. Highly recommend this blender!!

I’m not really impressed with my blender to be honest. It doesn’t blend the ice very well for my smoothie, which for the price it should. I have to add so much liquid just to get it to crush the ice which makes my smoothie so watery. I hardly use it because of this which is such a waste. I think I will try a blendtec blender in the future.

I've had my A2500 for a couple of years now and felt it had enough bells and whistles. However, now that I've had a chance to get great use out of it I am ready to upgrade to the version that also has the self-cleaning mode. Standing in front of the A2500 for a full couple minutes to go through the cleaning cycle is a hassle b/c you can't multi-task as you have to keep track of the every 6 seconds cycle.

I received this Vitamix last week and have used it every single day. It's by far the best blender I've ever owned. My kids love to help me make smoothies every morning, and it's easy for them to work the controls. The buttons are very simple and smooth, and the power behind this machine mixes everything in a matter of seconds. Our favorite feature is the auto clean option. It makes cleanup so easy being able to fill it with water and soap and run it for a minute. Can't wait to make soups and batters with it. It makes healthy eating more accessible. I highly recommend this Vitamix! It is 100% worth the value and you can't put a price on good health!

I frickin love my Vitamix A2500! I had been eyeing this for the longest time. I used to own a blendtec, but always knew that vitamix was the best blender. So when it was time to upgrade I did my research on the vitamix models and decided on this one! I also make smoothies almost daily, so really wanted a top notch blender. This blender blends so well, I have put big chunks of celery, ginger, frozen spinach into this and it blends it all down even more finely blended than the blendtec in my opinion. Some small complaints are that the blending container takes a while for me to scrap everything out due to the unique shape, the rubber top motor part where it has the attachment for the container is somewhat hard to clean, and sometimes the lid can be difficult to take off with one hand. Otherwise it's perfect!

Just bought a Vitamix A2500 after the 30-year old Kenmore blender "died." I have used it daily for the past four days. Sometimes trying up to two or three different recipes from the enclosed book and online recipes. It makes the best smoothies and is cheaper than the smoothie "place." Soups are hot and delicious.
