Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series Smart Blender, Professional-Grade, 48 oz. Container, Brushed Stainless Finish

I absolutely love my new Vitamix. The quality and versatility of this machine is amazing. I use mine almost every day. I have owned other high-performance blenders and this Vitamix outshines them all. It arrived quickly from the seller and in perfect condition. The small cookbook that came with it is a great help in learning how to use the blender. I also bought the Vitamix cookbook written by Jodi Berg, a great addition to my cookbook collection. I highly recommend the Vitamix A3500 Assent.

I have had 3 versions of the vitamix - why? I love it so much that I have just upgraded and sold the others on craigslist. These are all built like tanks and vitamin has a bulletproof warranty. Don't hesitate!

What can't this blender do?? If I didn't love it so much I would experiment and see if it could crush rocks! There is nothing not to love...it's ease of use, it's sturdy base, it's pleasing presence on my counter and the oh so lovely smoothies! Did I mention it practically washes itself? No more ice chunks, not more smell of a burning engine because it couldn't handle the heat. This baby has it all. Some people complain about the noise but it just gets me excited to hear the jet engine noise whipping up my favorite yummies and it really doesn't take long for this blender to get the job done. Yes, it's an investment but if you use your blenders on a daily basis, it's worth it.

I really love my VitaMix A3500, it blends perfectly, no lumps no bumps, just smooth smoothies no matter what ingredients I use. Have had other brands of blenders and was disappointed with uneven blending and lumpy results. For me VitaMix is well worth the price. Would highly recommend. Love the smart blending controls, just touch the button and walk away and it does the rest. Long 10 year warranty on the motor is really nice too. For me nothing else compares.

I purchased the 5200 model exactly a week ago and started having some buyer’s remorse. First of all, using the manual controls, I could never seem to get the consistency exactly right. Secondly, all of the upgraded features from the 5200 to this the a3500 is WELL WORTH the $100 price difference and I started feeling a little ripped off when I looked at it from that perspective. This blender is just superior in every single way. It works with your phone and you don’t even have to pair it; they just recognize each other when you’re standing next to the blender with the app open. You put the ingredients in there; skin, pulp, seeds, and all, and select the smoothie button on the blender or the phone (or tell Siri to make a fruit smoothie!) and 40 seconds later you’ll have something that has the taste and consistency of a silky chocolate milk. Cleanup was under a minute as well. Also, unlike the tall 5200, this one fits neatly under my cabinet and has a little acrylic stand for the tamper so it doesn’t roll round the counter. Lastly, this model has optional attachments, like a food processor and a Bluetooth scale, both of which I will absolutely be getting, making this the definitive choice if you’re stuck trying to decide which model to buy.

I was hesitant to spend that much money for a blender and bought the Beast blender instead and although it's a good blender it's largest container is not big enough to blend a Medical Medium smoothie and one time I tried to use it it would switch on but would not work, then when I tried it again a day later it worked. The Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series Smart Blender, Professional-Grade with 48 oz. container is perfect and I love how the preset changes speed and gets the job done.

Overall nice blender, unfortunately it gets jammed easily. My old Ninja never experienced this and because of that I'm pretty disappointed as this is supposed to be the cream of the crop blender.

I’ve been using it almost every day for soymilk and smoothies. The soymilk still has a bit of texture, but it’s not bothersome enough to filter out. Very easy to clean too.

Positives: Powerful Mostly responsive digital buttons Good options No issues yet (nor the past model I owned) Negatives The wider container doesn't stack the food nearly as well as the older models' narrower container, so I tend to tamper more than I used to with the older models. Any Vitamix is a great buy and investment. I use it every day: smoothies, matcha tea with dates, etc.

Although expensive, well worth the money if you use it for your monies worth. I’ve tried different shakes and drinks in it and have been very happy with the results. Come fall, I will try some soups too. Excited to try some sips this summer as well.

I can not do without this machine now. There are an endless amount of healthy ideas for this machine and it can eliminate the use of processed choices.

Delicate taste,But the sound on 10 is still terrible 😳

I love drinking healthy food and save in the long term. thank you !
