This is my Second Vitamix, my first one lasted 22 years. The motor is still good and I plan on getting parts to fix it. I like the rubber lid on the old one. I don't care for the lid onthe new one.It is hard to clean.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I bought my Vita Max in December and since then I have been making smoothies with greens and fruit. I feel like I am now getting all the vegetables and fruit that I need in my diet each day. I use my Vita mix every single day. It is very easy to clean up just add adab of soap and water and blend for 30 seconds rents and you're done.
I bought the A2300 on 2/5/2020 and got it today 2/13 what i can say that is was easy to setup and even easy to pair with the blend app i have not had it long but the only thing i need to get better it putting lid on i find that i nreed practice .
Pros: Programability, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power

I bought this Vitamix for my mother who claimed that she needed a new one after her 8+ year blender started to "sound" different. She seemed to have been disappointed at first, because she didn't get the blender with the pictures, but I think it gets the job done.
I have been using this blender to make nut butters for my family, and I add a few cups oil first before the nuts. Everytime it starts I get nervous that it's not going to spin again, because the blender struggles until finally after 1 minutes and 30 minutes of it screaming it finally works perfectly.
Other than that, I love this blender, and I never thought I would be one of those people who prefer to make their own nut butters (very worth it). To be nit picky, this blender model has an uncomfortably weird lag time for it's on switch, so it's annoying at times.
I love my machine, and it was everything I expected! I upgraded from the 5200, only because I lost it in a house fire. I do wish I had the option of purchasing an Ascent with a 48oz container because the 64oz requires me to blend larger quantities or add more liquid than I want to.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power
For about 8years I have been using my classic series Elite Vitamix blender without problems, but because the container was too large for my personal use I decided to purchase the A2300 smart series blender along with the 20 oz Blending Cup Starter Series Kit. Big mistake, the 20 oz started cup attachment leaked horribly despite the excellent assistance of Customer Service. And, the blender using the larger cup that came with the blender only worked one time. So I returned the blender and the 20 oz cup starter kit. Fortunately, I was informed by a Customer Service rep that a 20 oz cup attachment was available for my 7 year old Elite blender, so, I purchased it and I am completely happy---it works perfectly. If I should ever have to replace my Elite blender, based on my experience with the A2300 :smart" blender, I would never purchase a "smart" blender again; I would without hesitation purchase another "classic" blender.
Pros: Other
