My mom handed down her Vitamix to me after +10 years. I handed it down to my daughter after +5 years. My daughter is still using it after +4 years. These things are built to last for several family generations.

I have a vita mix that I've had for 17 years. You might want to factor that in if your looking for an appliance that isn't disposable.

It's important to read the instructions first 😁 I just got my 5300 today and I made a smoothie to start and it was a blast. Yogurt, almond milk, 2 dates, pits removed, 1 banana, frozen strawberries, frozen cherries and blend! No tamper required when you add enough liquids and put the softer bits at the bottom!

You do not need to hold the cover on a Vitamix while blending. When making a smoothie, first add enough liquid to cover blades, blend, then add ice at end of blend if desired.

I only discovered Vitamix when my last department store blender just wasn’t doing the job. I ended up getting the A2500 and it was worth every cent, the quality is spectacular, powerful machine. I can grind 4 lbs of tomatoes etc for gazpacho in 60 seconds one batch and there’s no worry about it “walking” away like the machine it replaced. I have watched many videos to get a feel for how and what to do. Once you have that down pat, you’ll swear by the machine, it’s a work horse.

The smoothie outcome was your fault for not adding enough liquid, there's a recipe book that tells you the amount and order to put your ingredients.

I have had Vitamix for the past 10 years and it works like a charm. Sometime back we had trouble with the knob and the company fixed it without any charge and replace the jar in which we dropped a spoon by mistake. Love mine and it is worth it.

What is your reason for holding down a lid that clearly has clips on the side to secure it as CLOSED!

Love my Vitamix, highly recommended! I replaced my KA food processor and KA blender.

Awesome video. I feel really inclined to buy this. That peanut butter!!! Delicious.

Love my vitamix, it juices without waste and blends to perfection. The 2500i is the one i own. would highly recommend it!

The smoothie was definitely your fault. A bit more liquid, and you'd have a better consistency, not to mention it would smash that kale to oblivion!

Poor presentation of the vitamix, you're clearly trying to down grade a well-known product that's been around for years 👎

Nice job. Few tips, you don't need to hold the vitamix, once it gets going you can walk away, hence the presets function. you need to load it from liquids,soft,harder then ice. Your smoothie ratio recipe was off( looks like too much frozen to liquid) . Finally you can get a much cheaper model vitamix or a reconditioned one for aroud $300.

"professional" reviewer has clearly missed one of the biggest points of the vitamix and that is the warranty. store bought blenders are simply unreliable. vitamix will last you a generation.

Oh we forgot to turn it on.... Me:wtf is this

Is it worth it? Yes it is! I have made everything from smoothies to soups to cashew sauce and flax meal. Works great. Best investment. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good blender that lasts.

I love my Vitamix. I just upgraded from a 5200 to the A2500. You forgot to mention that the containers can go into the dishwasher. It does so much more than what and how you presented it.

I've had my Vitamix for 10+ years. Absolutely worth it.

Theres a lot of hate in the comments. Personally I think it was a fair review. I love my vitamix, yes they are expensive, yes the new models are overpriced hype, but my refurbished 3500 I only paid $200 for and never looked back. I think you would have better results with the smoothie if you redid it properly.

LMAO... This just goes to show that everyone wants a ferrari but not everyone can handle one....

There was not enough liquid for mixing. Going by my experience. I never had to use the tamper for mixing for smoothies.

If you would have followed the directions and put in a cup of liquid first: the vitamix would have rewarded you with a unbelievably smooth creation beyond compare!

Thank You- really enjoyed your review. And your personality. Very helpful.

Great vid, if you want you’re smoothie work well, you shouldn’t add too much „ice“, while the frozen strawberrys you added count as ice as well. Aaaand you have to put in the softer ingredients first and then the harder ones, again the frozen strawberries. And in this case the ice cubes are too much ice, therefore you’re smoothie was more of a mash pulpy thing😄

Excellent video! Thanks so much for including a small clip of mine on the bottom right @0:29. 😁❤️🙏🏾

I bought an E310 on sale for $299 and it's so good even though it's a little smaller than the others. Heck with that Kitchen Aid blender for $200.

Now that the new instapot blender is out for less than $100, I'd be curious if you might redo this test using that vs the Vitamix

Fun seeing Derek from Simnett Nutrition pop up at 0:30 - and yes I would call him a fanatic

The Vitamix is worth it. First 750 pro bought had issues as coupling shredded and motor almost burn up. Blade was seized from factory? Return it and tried the newer revision with wider jar and haven't had a issue since, had it for 5 years and upgraded and ended up selling it for almost the same price I paid for it. Now have the A3500 and use it pretty much daily lately to make my birds food and my green smoothies. I hated the clear plastic jar at first on the new a3500, as almost was going to get another 750 pro, but grown to like it better as did get use to it. If you do get the Assent series buy the Vitamix Ascent Series 48-Ounce Self-Detect Wet Blender Container. I think they sure bundle this jar instead of the 64 Ounce Jar with the blender. The 48 ounce Jar is my go to as do smaller batches.

Way too much ice in that smoothie. You also failed to mention that the blades run at approximately 240 miles per hour which intern breaks the cell walls of the vegetables and fruits that you were making a smoothie out so the body can better break down the nutrients. The other cheap blenders are not going to do this. Not to mention the warranty and customer service if you need it.

Perhaps you should follow the directions and watch the CD that comes with your Vitamix and follow a recipe for your smoothies.

I have this blender and I love it. Only problem is that it's loud af. But with the power it has it's expected

I think the secret is that the blades in the vitamix aren't sharp, so they pulverize rather than chop the food. America's Test Kitchen consistently ranks one of the less expensive Vitamixes (legacy model with a taller, thinner container) at the top of their list. It's about half the price of this model.

Hi! I recently bought the reconditioned new "A2500" model at a great price online on Black Friday (I didn't received it yet!), but now I hesitate because the reconditioned "Standard Programs" is currently also at a great price ($30 lower than the reconditioned "A2500"). Both seem to have the same features (3 preset programs), but the A2500 is more "techno". The jars are also different and that's what makes me the most hesitant, because the jar of the Standard Programs seems more practical for small blend. Do you have a preference? Thank you :)

Peanuts taste like peanut butter. What are the odds?

Why did you not start off with the first speed with the Lower cost blender like how you did it for the vitamix?

Good video. Bought it! Thank you.

Mine is the old 3600 and is still mixing, I like it because It has a reverse and if stuff starts getting stuck you bump the reverse and it fees it up. Vitamix are expensive but for a few exceptions they last pretty much forever. I bought it used over 20 years ago and it still works but 750 bucks is a lot of money, you will need another stimulus check from the feds to buy that one.

Try comparing to Ninja for $49. I made delicious walnut butter in the 16 oz. size in a minute or two (a few tablespoons just for myself), and I make kale, blueberry, yogurt and coconut water smoothies daily in the larger blender that has three stacks of blades. Use frozen berries and you do not need ice. Easy to clean and store.

Best Machine , I ever own, And still own.

Nice review! Did you have any problems with this blender?

Our Vitamix is over 20 years old and just now having an issue on the variable speed that can probably be fixed. But since we've used it for this long, we are trading it in with VVitamix and are getting a new one. Worth the investment to us. :D

I bought my Osterizer blender at least a dozen years ago for about $35. I make peanut butter in my Cuisinart food processor.

you should re-do the video but this time get the smart scale and the blending app.... you couldn't mess up then ....

Hi thanks for this totally hilarious review, it was not only extremely useful and well thought, but quite entertaining! You are a pleasure to watch !

if you want sweet tasting smoothies you just need to add i/4 cup of strawberry jelly or jam. All stores Jamba juice and others know this that is life. it taste good for a reason

the peanut butter is pink?

Ok OK, take my money, buying one.

so cute !! ..machine 😏 recently bought brand new A2300 =430$ CAD +tx -Amazon Prime Days -gudd value + 10 yrs warranty -all other 100$+ blenders broke at the blade attachment area within a year of purchase ; easily wasted several hundreds dollars within a few short years ¡¡

Can you please help me i am between vitamix ascent 2500 and 3500?? Which is more durable and better ?

Im buying one so yea its worth it.

any other uses for the tamper ?

Just Buy, Biolomix and Vecelo 2200 Watt Professional Blenders are a Vitamix dupe or alternative that works better for 1/4 of the cost. Most of the above blenders cost around 100 dollars or less.

It’s the deal of the day on amazon right now

I've just purchased a Duronic blender via Amazon UK. Very similar style to the Vitamix, comes with a tamper. It's a 1500 way motor, makes cashew butter in minutes, totally impressed, hummus, energy balls and really lovely smoothies. BPA free jug. And cost me £75. 😁

If you asked a person who didn't know how to drive to test drive a Ferrari you would have poor results. Vitamix provides very clear instructions on how to layer ingredients for effective blending and you didn't follow. The same power and blending results also come with other Vitamix blenders at much lower price points - pretty obvious you're just trying to dissuade people from buying.

Just got my Explorian (refurbished) for bargain price a little over $200. I am so psyched and happy. I have no idea how I even survived without it! I've been vegan (with severe dairy allergy) going on 14 yrs now. I've gone thru at least 3 machines! Just buy it instead of your next machine--you won't be sorry!

We eat so much peanut butter and almond butter that I am saving the amount of plastic waste on the planet by making my own in my vitamix. I use it for everything.

You put WAY to much ice in that smoothie...u dont need any liquid with a vitamix u need a small scoop of ice and fruit thats it!

Thats why their is a tamper

' what country made this blender device machine

Vitamix sells blenders a third the price of the one you reviewed with the same power and features, just less automation. You're also buying durability.

The cheapest reconditioned one was this and it was $400 in sgd ouch but I’m begging my mum to buy for me cause I love ice cream, putting frozen fruits in without water (mine broke because of that), make nut butter. I want to make my own peanut butter so badly since I wanna be more healthy. Organic Peanut butter are all from overseas here so it’s pricy

What about rice to rice flour?

You needed to add liquid into the smoothie. Like minimum half a cup.

These things can be found on sale for $300-$350 new. So, yes, it is worth it.

Nonsense i want this blender so so bad

I haven’t liked vitamix since they copied blendtech’s carafe style. I took mine back. I now have a 99.00 Ace 60 by Instant Pot that has a glass carafe, instead of plastic. I love my 99.00 one better, it even has a heater and can cook soup.

As stated in my favorite cartoon, The Regular Show, "Check that grammar bro!" If I heard you correctly, EVISCERATE means to disembowel or deprive. Try EMULSION. Its also a cooking term.

The key to using a sophisticated blender, no different than a Ceado E37S and ECM Synchronika is practicing with it until you get it right. Don't take phone calls while experimenting. You brought in baseball to your presentation. Well, Perfect practice makes perfect. My son could tell you that. But here is the scoop. If you want to be as good as Thomas Keller, You need to experiment all the way to making your own menu that you can charge like Thomas Keller at $300 a visit and a 1 year waiting list to a wonderful revelation. You are entering a world of making people happy with food.

When making the smoothie I think she added the ingredients in the wrong order. I would have put the ice in first (at the bottom).

Compare the warranties, if you really want to understand the price difference. The Vitamix A2500 carries a 10-yr full warranty. The KitchenAid 5-Speed Diamond Series carries a 1-yr full, 5-yr limited (and I'm sure the "limited" will be so limited as to not be of any value). Even re-conditioned, the A2500, selling on Amazon, carries a 5-yr full warranty. If your finances are limited, then the KitchenAid will be a fine choice.

Get the A2300 instead. It is the most basic model with 10 year warranty. Anything higher in price and model number, and you are just paying for extra features such as timer pre-settings and buttons. It is more expensive because it has a rpm power that is 16 times stronger than a lower-end blender. You can make your own nut butters, soups, nut milks, ice creams and smoothies without or less sodium, sugar, additives and preservatives. Lastly, the ascent series is an updated system with accessories that are more compatible with each other than any past series. You can get the dry container to make flours instead of nut butters. It comes in a smaller wet container, single serve container for on the go and 8 ounce container for spices, coffee or baby food. These are points that were missed in the video.

Obviously you are not familiar with the instruction manual, you need the more soft ingridients on the base and enough liquid , the tamper is needed to give the blender no vacuum to work, that is what is for!!!

Another thing to add is the rentability! making frozen smoothies and 5 minutes soups in a convencional blender, I want to see how many time endures. My vitamix has 10 years warranty . But as you know in your case, "ignorance is a bless"

You made peanut butter with vitamix but you didn't give it more time being oily and creamy. Also I clean it with hot water and it was easy to be cleaned. You should put soup dish and then turn it on to clean it. Nice try

What is the horse power for the vitamix and the lower cost blender? You are comparing tomatoes with potatoes not apple to apple and make sure the apple skin is the same color and same kind. Hope that will help you further your broad cast. I was driving and I didn’t want to touch my phone but it made me want to just throw my phone out the window because of you.

Though I'd like the 5 minute soups I also prefer not to heat my smoothies too much.

When making soup you don’t have to put your hand on the blender and stand there you can walk away if you want

Next time, when comparing price you might want to mention Certified Reconditioned. Much less money.

Your smoothie didn't turn out because you made it wrong. You have to have a little liquid in there as well. Also, you always put your leafy products first and all your frozen goods at the very top so the blades are spinning nice and fast by the time the strawberries and I said them.

Is the Vitamix worth the hype? No Is it a good blender? Yes Is it well constructed and of quality materials? Yes Does it make perfect blends every time? No. I have had smoothies with frozen chunks of fruit left over and milkshakes that simply stopped blending (as if the blades no longer moved) and had to be turned on and off 2 - 3 times to start again. What is the real value of the various models? I'd say about $179 to $289 Do I know exactly how to use one? Absolutely Worst Vitamix I've owned: A2500 Best Vitamix I've owned: Explorean E310 So So: Pro 500

The 10 year warranty free shipping both ways

not a glass mixing jug at £400.00 plus is a total dealbreaker for me if it aint made of glasss you are going to get plastic in your food.

You wouldn't need the tamper if it shipped with the more efficient sized 48 oz container like it should.

Vitamix is the best, bar none. Don't waste your money on the rest. The Vitamix will replace even the food processor. You can't beat the Vitamix.

5:48 😍😍😍

Hi everyone!! Today, I'm going to review the Airbus a380, and see how it compares to the Boing 737. I'm hoping for the best, and me not being a real pilot, we're going to really see where the deficiencies lie in the user experience. Wish me luck!!

You also did not add the ingredients in the right order or enough liquid. That particular smoothie mixture should never have required a tamper. Also, you would have been more convincing (seeing that you've admitted not being a good cook) if you'd followed one of the recipes in the Vitamix or other blender's recipe book. I used to kill a $100 to $200 blender about every 18 months. I finally got tired of that and bought a refurbished unit from Vitamix. That was 10.5 years ago. I accidentally left a spoon in a smoothie mix. The spoon didn't fare so well, but the Vitamix still churns 9.5 years later. If you are only into light blending (like yogurtt, soft, unfrozen fruits without grainy textures and small seeds from time to time, a Vitamix is absolute overkill. But if you are really into the culinary, from chopping, to liquidy mixtures, to nut butters, frozen treats, to doughs, or hot soups, or just a seriously religious smoothie and juice nut, and/or the unit will be used pretty much regularly by or for a family (large portions and/or multiple users), you may get by with a Ninja, but i would recommend nothing less than a Vitamix or Blendtech for the best most consistent results and longevity. The new Vitamix like this series come with a 10 year warranty.

You don't need to hold on to the lid!!! I am a Vitamix Demonstrator and you did not show Vitamix well. I think you should get to know a machine and do your research before you start reviewing anything actually. There's a recipe book that shows you exactly how to use the Vitamix properly.

Fuck yes. The best blender in the universe!

Vitamix commercial. I have a vitamix that I bought new and a ninja that I got at goodwill. Which one do I prefer and use? The Ninja!

Why is ur run of the mill blender 5 times the price of mine

I bought my. Vitamix in the year of 2000, model 5000 the whole nutrition center, I paid $ 700.00, its the best investment I have ever made, I use it constantly, practically every day, I am looking younger than my age, I am very pretty, I am over 70 years, I am older than Donald Trump, I am full of vitality, and 3 have recommended it to many people. Vitamix is a true blessing from God, without it I would be long gone. Thank you Vitamix.

I have a Ninja professional blender and I dont need a wand thingy to blend or crush anything. Vitamix is over 700 dollars that don't work.

You’re funny! Soup: tastes the same....but it’s not hot 🙄🙄😂😂

Costco has the vitamix for $300 right now!!!

Not worth it. If you are outside Canada and USA they don’t give you a warranty. Mine is faulty...I’m stuck with it
