I love the heavy duty machine and the features I chose. It seems to blend everything it says it will, but my ice cubes do not completely get crushed. All other products do so far. I changed my ice settings on the freezer to crushed so that seems to work better. Its clean and sleek. I have made individual smoothies and even though the container is large, it does just fine. I'm waiting for my individual cups. They are supposed to come today. I can't wait to try them. Less water for cleaning :) I'm also anxiously waiting the smaller cup sizes. I have a grandson, now 8 months old and I want to make his food when he visits. I also want to make sauces, dips and dressings in smaller quantities. Hopefully those will be available soon.

We have had our Vitamix for a month, and it is the best tool in my kitchen. We are vegan eaters, so having the ability to mix and blend veggies to make sauces, soups, nut milks, smoothies, and juices is really important for our diet. Last night, I used our Vitamix to make cashew milk and spinach soup. The only 'recommendation' that I have is do not use the 'soup' setting on the device unless you need a really airy soup. The soup setting makes the soups frothy which isn't always what you want in a soup. Other than that, I highly recommend this kitchen device!

Quel appareil fantastique! Ça fait des années que je cuisine et je ne peux croire comment cet appareil est performant, versatile et pratique! Je le recommande à toute personne qui veut bien s’alimenter et varier les repas tout en savourant de bons aliments!

I really love my Vita Mix. The first thing I did to test it out was to make almond flour and rice flour. I'm very pleased. I purchased my first Vita Mix which was all stainless steel more than 40 years ago, took it to a party about 20 years ago to make margaritas and haven't seen it since. I'm extremely happy to see the improvements that have been made since I purchased my first one. This one will never be left out of my sight.

I have owned a Vitamix for the past 11 years. I recently upgraded to the A2500. I really like the look and feel of the new clear color lid. I also purchased the 48 ounce container, along with the blending bowl starter kit and the blending cups. I do cooking demonstrations and batch cooking. The versatility of this appliance and added attachments makes the Vitamix an appliance that I use every day. I have been using the A2500 for a little over a month and absolutely love it.

Super powerful! Quieter than my old target blender but still loud, which should be expected because like I said, super powerful. Also love the new style mixed with the old school toggles for start/stop and pulse. Great product! Can’t wait to surprise my mom with one ;)

Horribly disappointed! I don't know if we just got a lemon or if this is what everyone experiences with their machines but I had such high hopes. Blending is a nightmare. It always smells like something is burning. If iStart on low speed and try to increase it - no matter what it gets stuck around 4-6. Just stops. I use the tamper but something just doesn't seem right and we truly are not enjoying it at all.

I knew it was going to be expensive. I bit the bullet and got one and I use it almost every day. It's everything I ever hoped it would be. Some days I use it more than once. I make smoothies, acai bowls, hummus, pesto, almond milk, lots of different soups, and desserts. Very easy and fast to clean up. I have roommates, though, so the noise issue means no early morning smoothies for me. I looked into getting a cover to make it quieter, but those cost more than the Vitamix, itself. The great warranty made the price a little easier to stomach, and people keep commenting on how good I look. I think it's in part because I'm eating more fruits and veggies!

I’ve been using Ninja blenders for years and was tired of replacing them every 3 years. When I asked friends what I should get, almost all of them said Vitamix so I decided to make the investment. I am glad I did! It grinds everything! No raspberry seeds stuck in my teeth anymore and it even makes pizza dough! Its quieter than my Ninja up until speed 8 and then its pretty loud. But if you needed to be quieter, you could just blend at the lower speeds. I am officially a Vitamix fan for life!

I have not used all the features yet and am excited to use it for soups and frozen deserts soon. I have used it extensively to make healthy smoothies and am so pleased with the consistency of my drinks. It blasts it's way through kale and every kind of fruit or vegetable I give it. I do have a hard time with getting the cover off because it clips on which is new for me, but overall would give it a strong 4.5 stars.
