I am enjoying the X5 blender. It does so many awesome things including heating your soup. This is by far the best blender that I have ever owned and I like the presets because it takes the guesswork out of getting the perfect blend. It has a very powerful motor to get the job done.
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow. Just wow! This is one of the best appliances I have used! The amount of different features and blending profiles make this perfect for everything I make. Smoothie? Perfection. Blended drink? Nothing can compare. By far the easiest unit I’ve ever had to clean. It fits perfectly in smaller cabinets. This thing is a beast. I can’t say enough good things about it. Each day I find a new use for it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vitamix Ascent 5 is designed with features that go beyond a typical blender to make it more powerful, versatile, and user-friendly. This blender can do much more than your average blender like making hot soups and nut butters because of its key features that include: ✨ High Power-It has a much stronger motor than a normal blender. This allows it to blend tough and hard ingredients into smooth textures easily. ✨Smart Tech-It has smart features like Self-Detect technology, which recognizes the size of the container you're using and adjusts the settings to blend properly. ✨Better Controls-With multiple speed options and a pulse feature, you get more control over the blending texture-from smooth to chunky. ✨Durability-This blender is built to last, with strong stainless steel blades and a more solid design ✨Self-Cleaning: You just add water and a drop of soap, then let it run on a clean setting and voila it’s ready to use again
-This has to be the most bougiest and expensive kitchen gadget, I have ever owned. I would imagine this has to be a chef’s dream blender. Prior to this blender, I have owned a basic Hamilton and I currently own the single use ninja blender. Both worked perfect for smoothies, but an anything beyond that wasn’t ideal especially due to the size of the Ninja I own now. I never knew a blender could do what this blender does. So far all I have made with it is your basic delicious smoothie. It comes with a recipe book and I have already made a list of things I want to try. There is definitely a learning curve to this blender because it’s more high tech than I’m used to, but I’m definitely excited to break it in and have it clean itself after I’m down.
I am very satisfied with my recent purchase of the vitamix Ascent X5. My previous Vitamix died. It lasted over eight years. The improvements in the next generation is evident. I like the menu options and detection of the canister. Much easier to clean.
Pros: Programability, Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Product features, Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only reason I could not give this five stars is because it is a bit large for our kitchen countertop space to use daily. We have been using a compact Ninja for years and it can easily stay out. But, I am loving the design & performance so far. I love that it has multiple settings (like for smoothies) because that is what I use the most. Also, my favorite new hack is the self cleaning option, love! It also comes with a recipe book and tips on how to make the best items with the blender so I love that.
