After only a few weeks of use and ownership the motor is making a horrible loud sound. Took my last vitamix years to do that. Haven’t found the contact info to reach Vitamix yet but plan to.
Jug is good size and easier to clean. Quieter than my last model.
Pros: Other

Very Tedious toUuse because Sleep / Screen Saver
on March 13, 2025
Posted by: Nono B

I have bought two Propel 510 for family members last month, and we just love them. I really love Vitamix blenders. I cannot say the same of my X5. It is beautiful and a great blender.... when it does not get in the way of your workflow. And that real annoyance comes from the Sleep mode and the Screen Saver. They are way too short and even completely unnecessary in my opinion.
Let me explain. After 30 seconds, the blender sleeps and resets your selection (takes you back to variable speed 1 - why not just keep my selection and why so fast - if you forgot to add a leaf of mint for instance and need to go get it, you have to select your drink again - just why?), and after 1 minute it goes to screen saver where you have to press a button to wake it up (and wait for it to be ready again) - at least make it 15 minutes or so. Again completely useless functionaility - I just want my blender to be ready I need it too, like pretty much every other blender out there.
Does not seems like much you may think, unless you decide to do a margarita party for instance where you make back to back frozen drinks, or simply two or more smoothies in a row even. On the Propel 510, you have the dial in the right position and just have to hit Start once and it will blend right away like a champ. On the X5, you have to push "menu" to wake it up, wait some.... and then turn the dial to "frozen drinks" and then press start. Completely unecessary steps and gets old real quick. At least if the blender would wake up when you put the container back and at least remember where I was in my selection, that would releive some of the pain.
I really love my other Vitamix, but this one is a big miss in usability and again for choices that I personally do not understand - those extra steps do not help the user but just completely ruins the flow - it feels like a slow chore to use it. I unfortunately cannot recommend it and will be returning it for a Propel 750 maybe (even the X2 is plagued by that sleep mode so I was sad I could not get that one too)
Pros: Texture Quality, Power

Can’t say enough good things about this product

Bought this to replace a Ninja because it wasn’t processing good enough. We are whole food plant based so I use the blender alot. This Vitamix has been an excellent addition to my small appliance stash!!
It grind grains to a perfect powder, mixes up all flavors of nice cream, makes nut butters, sauces & guacamole.
I can make creamy soups right in the Vitamix- it even heats it up!! These are just a few things I use it for!
And it cleans itself!!!! I can’t say enough great things about this product! No negatives.

A compact powerhouse that blends perfectly and ele
on February 6, 2025

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vitamix Ascent X5 Blender is an amazing addition to any kitchen, combining power and convenience in a compact design. Despite its smaller size compared to traditional Vitamix models, it still delivers the same high-performance blending you’d expect. From smoothies to nut butters and soups, everything comes out with a velvety smooth consistency.
I also love the self-detect containers, which automatically adjust the settings for the container size—super handy when making smaller portions! It’s incredibly easy to clean (just add soap and water, blend, and rinse), and the sleek design fits perfectly on my countertop.
The only downside is that it’s on the pricier side, but the quality and durability make it worth the investment for anyone serious about healthy eating or meal prep. Highly recommend for those who want a versatile, reliable blender!
