This blender is the best I have ever bought love it!!!! I have used Kitchen aide, Ninja. The vitamix is in a league of its own. The smoothies come out better, smoother then the other blenders I’ve used. I am forever a Vitamix customer. It’s worth money. It’s quiter compared to the other brands. The self cleaning is great.

Even better than my >10 Y/O workhorse Vitamix. I cannot imagine switching to a different MFG. I love the idea that these are made in Cleveland, Ohio. I use it almost daily. Thank you for keeping true to your original brand and location!

Returned for a Breville for considerably less money and much better design/quality — Vitamix has email spammed me for weeks to write a review here it is. Vitamix is overrated, cheaply made and overpriced. Spend your money on something better made, don’t fall for the influencer fake hype.

Fantastic blender, I was a little skeptical of all of the bells and whistles but they’re all purposeful, so easy to use, and love keeping it clean with the wash cycle option.

Ascent C5-white I am sooooo happy! It came today and we have already made healthy almond butter, almond milk, and some yogurt and pineapple ended up being like dole whip! It’s amazing to watch it work so quickly. We ended our testing of it with the self cleaning cycle! I can’t wait to make shakes and açaí bowls! For some who wears reading glasses and gets overwhelmed, the easy icons make eating healthy a snap! Thank you so much! This is worth every penny! I can’t wait to save up and get some accessories for it!

I bought it for my wife and she loves it...it has some much power compared to the other on the market. She can make peanut butter, almond butter...with the food processor some many possibilities...I highly recommend it....especially if you have gastroparesis. Like i do...there are certain foods i cant eat because of preparation. There is alot of things you can do with this x5 that others can't do.....buy it...you won't regret it...
