I LOVE My Vitamix!!! I bought a Vitamix back in the 70s; it lasted for 40 plus years; I used it daily. I just recently upgraded to the Ascent V. I couldn't be more pleased. The versatile programs for preparing a variety of tasty concoctions are simple to do. The directions and symbols are uncomplicated. It is so easy to clean! In just a couple of minutes, it is ready to use again. It blends food beautifully .. great smoothies, soups, and dips..etc. I did buy the Stainless Steel container to use with it as I prefer using SS. I love it also. It is important to make sure if you buy the SS container that you get the one compatible for the Ascent V. This is one powerful and easy to use appliance. Don't balk at the price. This machine has already paid for itself. And you can choose a payment plan to pay it off without interest through Amazon. The Ascent V Vitamix is an investment in my health. And I Am Worth It!!!

Expensive! But worth every penny. From soups to smoothies it does it all and is a breeze to clean due to its preprogrammed cleaning cycle. With a 10 year warranty it might might out last me 😁 What’s not to like? Read more

Hands down the best blender I’ve ever owned by far. It’s not inexpensive but I feel I’m getting a superior blender, especially with all the features it has, so to me it’s worth the investment. I’m looking forward to all I will be able to do with this blender. It’s a powerful blender that has no problem getting the job done. I honestly wish I got this sooner. Also, the cleanup is one of the things I like the most. It’s certainly not the quietest blender but for me it’s not unreasonable for the power it has. Read more

Powerful, easy to use perfect blend. I have made smoothies mostly with this unit and its perfect everytime. I highly reccomend this unit. Its not too big in size, but its performance is over the top. Read more

I received my Vitamix and have just started using it about a week ago. Quality is amazing! Very smooth blends. I use it to feed a person who can barely eat solid food. Today when I was getting ready to use it, I noticed a vertical crack in the blender container. Did contact Vitamix. For all reviews on this company, I have read they take care of any issues very quickly. Read more

I gave it as a gift 🎁 She told me that she absolutely loves it. Read more

Pros: - sturdy bottom part of the blender with simple attachment that does not require screwing or turning into proper position - simplicity of control panel - blade that you cannot cut yourself on - self-cleaning program Cons: - as much as I like the simplicity of control panel, I don't like the menu icons that are very similar and it's hard to remember which one is for what program - also it takes too long for blender to boot up after turning on the main switch - to start blending I have to press the start button twice - thin plastic container that doesn't belong on expensive blender, hard to clean if you need to do it manually - burning new smell on higher speeds (initially I thought it will go away, but now I've been using it for a month and it's still there) - when I put in harder vegetable, it wouldn't spin, even on higher power - low quality plastic tamper, that needs to be used quite often, but it still gets pretty messy - tamper holder mount next to main on/off switch makes it hard to access the switch, and it holds tamper too tight - no replace or return if damaged Overall for the price of blender I would accept only one minor con.
