Works like a dream! I’ve made milkshakes, frozen cocktails, soup, smoothies and all have turned out great. Machine is user friendly and easy to clean. All of the settings make it easy to use. My only “complaint” is that the tamper feels really cheap. For spending so much money it would have been nice to have slightly better quality tamper.
Pros: Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement
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
After almost 50 years with my Vita-Mix Super 3600, it was time for a new one. I could not be happier with its replacement. The Ascent X5 is a wonder. The ability to use the automatic recipe programs as well as the self-cleaning feature are a delight. I have been amazed at its ability to turn out perfect results over and over again without even needing to monitor it, as it changes speed automatically. This machine is very highly recommended!
