Just Get It!!!
Color: Brushed Stainless
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!!! ... show more

Perfection (Home Cooks, Prep Cooks, Sauciers)
Color: Brushed Stainless
What do you want me to say? I use this everyday and have for almost a year now! It still works! It’s still great. It’s still my goto for all prep jobs. Smoothies, soups, ice cream, I’ve done it all with this and it is still running like the first day! Its powers through ice and raw carrots alike. Yes! It can be about as loud as a coffee grinder! But when your loved ones hear it, they know something great is about to happen. Slide this anywhere on your kitchen counter. Be careful not to place this under you cabinets unless they are higher because this tool is tall. Do we talk about the cleaning? All you have to do is press the button. I never trust self cleaning things, but this one, flawless every single time! If you were looking for a sign that told you to buy this… here’s your sign! Buy this NOW! It’s the perfect fit for you! ... show more

A lot of money but worth the investment
Color: Brushed Stainless
I had ordered a less expensive Vitamix, initially, and was disappointed when comparing it to the one I'd had for 20 years. This one is very cool as it has the settings for a variety of foods like smoothies, soups, frozen desserts, etc. I'm spending a little more but I'm much happier with this model and I hope it works for me over the next 20 years. ... show more

Jet Engine In My Kitchen
Color: Shadow Black
This thing is a monster. I had an old Vitamix, but I burned up the motor trying to make almond butter (don't ask) so I had to get a new one. Anyway, we use our Vitamix daily and although they're obnoxiously expensive, they're worth it. So I decided to buy the most powerful one they offer and this is it (and it has had no trouble making almond butter). It's not exactly quiet (hence the title of this review), but I guess that's to be expected considering its power. I'm confident this one will be passed to my heirs upon my death because I expect it to last that long. The one I burned up was a solid 15 years old and it got a daily workout, but it was one of their lower-end models. ... show more

Fabulous blender upgrade from a previous version, with minor reservation
Color: Brushed Stainless
Great Vitamix version. Easy to use with the icons or on your own. Containers are a dream as they can be cleaned in the dishwasher [the cleaning cycle works fine, but I'm picky]. I have no complaints. Soups, smoothies, sauces, and grinding seeds into flour. My only issue is that the smaller containers don't seem to align, i.e. don't work at all--no sensing. Too bad because small portions such as nut butters are problematic to make and scoop out of the 48 oz containers. ... show more

The blender of choice if you want a reliable option
Color: Brushed Stainless
This blender is probably the last one I will ever have to buy. It's a beast!! Handles everything with ease and cleanup is so easy. I have made mostly smoothies and hummus so far,but I am looking to do soups next. Luckily it barely fits under my upper cabinets for countertop storage,but for use I pull it out from under the cabinet of course. The noise doesn't really bother me,because I get the desired result so fast. It is only noisy for a couple of minutes tops. ... show more

Toddler smoothies galore
Color: Brushed Stainless
These products speak for themselves. This is expensive, but worth every penny. All my kid wants to eat is pouches and now I can make a blender to fill 10 reusable pouches in one shot. It is so powerful and blends everything super smooth.

I expected a bit more for the price range
Color: Brushed Stainless
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. ... show more
