I had an older model that was still going strong but I moved that to a second location. I wish the new one A) had a bigger container like the older one, B) the container was made of glass and not plastic. Otherwise works the same and is excellent
Pros: Easy to use, Recipe Enhancement, Product features

I have had this blender for roughly a month and I use it everyday. I had a Bullet blender before and the Ascent X5 puts it to shame! Every smoothie I have made has turned out perfect and there is nothing this blender cannot chop. I love the preset modes and the clean function! Never thought it would be this easy to clean a blender. Overall, if you use it everyday it’s well worth the $$$! Just buy it and you will not regret it!

I have been dreaming of getting this blender for ages but I cousins afford it. Long story short, there was a sales going on during holiday period and I took advantage of it. No regrets afterward. I do a lot of blending as a Nigerian. Someone introduced Buchimix blender to me as an alternative but didn’t really go for it. After getting the newest Vitamix blender, I did test run of the blender using the same food/spices but with different settings and posted it in my YouTube channel.

Had a ninja personal blender and wanted to upgrade for various reasons, most notably it felt like I was going deaf using it every morning. The X5 is fantastic, absolutely quieter (can have a conversation next to it however not ideal). The presets work great. The only drawback I have right now was the cost but I plan to use this daily so it should end up working out.
