While it’s on the pricier side, this blender/processor is worth every penny. It’s solid, powerful, and handles even the toughest tasks with ease. We’ve used it for everything from blending smoothies to processing ingredients for soups, and it has far exceeded our expectations. Making soup has never been easier—the consistency is perfect every time. Highly recommend if you’re tired of replacing blenders every couple of years—this one’s built to last! Read more
My vitamix from the 1980s quit working. I hoped to save money by using a food processor instead. Unfortunately they have very different blades and the outcome was less than desirable. After careful consideration ($$) I decided to buy another one. So, I did some research and chose the Ascent 4x. I like the size of the pitcher, the pre programmed options and quiet engine. Wow, just wow! My old vitamix was very nice, but the new one takes it to the next level. What I don’t like is: the tamper seems to be made out of hollow plastic. I’m not sure how well it will hold up. This version doesn’t offer the individual to go mixing tumbler that is available with the pro 5200. I like the added convenience of mixing a smoothie in the same container you will drink it out of. This was almost a deal breaker for me, but the size of the machine was a bigger issue. I am not disappointed at all. The ease of use and consistency made it worth while. Read more
I received the Vitamix Ascent X4 Blender yesterday, and it has already made a huge impression! My wife is so happy with it, and we’re both impressed with how well it works. It blends everything smoothly and efficiently, just as advertised. The 48-ounce container is perfect for our needs, and the self-cleaning feature is a great bonus—it’s so easy to use. This blender is definitely a winner in our kitchen. If you’re looking for a professional-grade blender that delivers on its promises, this is the one! Highly recommended! Read more
We had an old blender that was on its last leg, around 20 years old, so we were looking for an upgrade with the same reliability. We did a lot of research and landed on vitamix, we chose this one due to the electronic display and the pre-loaded settings. Honestly, it’s so fast and so smooth that making smoothies is a breeze now. We did find that the preloaded smoothie setting can make the smoothies a little fluffier/airer than we’d like, so we do it manually and it comes out perfect every time. We’ve had no problems so far, no ice chips or chunks of anything. The capacity of the blender is a decent size, we can make around three tall glasses of smoothie per blend. Make sure you pay attention to the order in which you put in your ingredients, as that helps with the functionality a lot. Read more
What is there to say. It is a Vitamix. And my humble opinion the best there is. I bought the four instead of the five because I really didn’t need all the extra programming. Knowing what I know now I probably would’ve bought one without any pre-program. I use it mostly for shakes and now do it manually. The shake setting creates a lot of noise for my wife and I early in the morning. It replaced a Nutra bullet. Which I used for years, but the gasket kept coming out and it was just a pain to put back in. The Vitamix is much larger, but does a whole lot more things. Would highly recommend if you want one that will last a very long time. Read more
I add 2 cups of water to make my green juice with some fruit in it! I use the Smoothie button twice to get it smooth. I cleaned all parts easily in 3 minutes or less by hand washing it. I also put it in the dishwasher too and no problems. There is a display screen on this Vitamix. I like the preset buttons on this blender and the option to do it manually yourself. Using the push down stick that comes with it, is necessary for a good blend. Read more
Great machine with all the easy features. We have made soup, peanut butter, and smoothies. We bought the food processor attachment to go with this so that we don't have to get our other food processor out or have it sitting on the counter. This can do so many things and the self cleaning makes it simple to clean and ready for the next thing you are making. Read more
I've always heard about how nice Vitamix blenders are but I was always putting off trying one because of the plastic vessel - I prefer glass. However, after trying this blender I can say it mixes much better than I have experienced before trying a Vitamix blender. I would prefer glass but the plastic shape does the job very well.
