[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Vitamix a couple months ago. If you just make smoothies, the Vitamix is so worth buying. However, it does so much more. Soups and nut butters are amazing. I use it to make sauces and salad dressings also. This one machine does everything so I can also free up alot of counter/cupboard space.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Power
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have wanted a Vitamix blender for years and I finally broke down and bought this one two months ago. It is a very good blender. It does a beautiful job with my nut based sauces, soups, and nut butters. The only issue I have with it are when blending smoothies. The wide base makes it nearly impossible to blend a single smoothie! If I make 2 or 3 servings, it works fine. But when blending a single smoothie, I have to stop multiple times to use the damper or put in more liquid to keep it from stopping. If you are buying a Vitamix for smoothies, I would suggest purchasing one with a narrow base.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took almost 2 years for me decide to spend this kind of money on a blender, but I love having a Vitamix!
It is helping my whole family eat healthy and reduce our use of plastic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Vitamix a year ago, and have been very happy with it. One thing that isn't clear in the reviews is that while this doesn't have presets on the dial, you CAN connect via bluetooth and use the programs in the Vitamix app. I did that the first month or so to get a feel for how different things should be blended, which was helpful. My favorite thing to make is peanut butter - we like natural peanut butter, and the commercial stuff always requires a lot of stirring, and still there would be a hard puck of nut butter at the bottom of the jar. I use 32oz of dry, roasted, unsalted peanuts, 3 pitted dates, and a pinch or two of kosher salt and it makes the most PERFECT nut butter. No stirring, no hard puck, and that volume fits perfectly in a 4cup glass container. I have friends with a Pro750 and another with a 2500, and I think the sweet spot is probably the A2500 because the presets are nice, and it has the dial and visual timer that the 750 does not. I'm still happy with my purchase, but comparing those three models I might recommend someone go up a level for the 2500. Also, a friend scoffed at me until she tried a smoothie made in my Vitamix, and then she almost immediately gave away her other competitor blender and bought a 2500, and had to eat a lot of crow when she did! There really is a difference.
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Product features, Power
I bought this vita mix A2300 a couple of months ago and just love it. It mixes smoothies nicely, no missed lumps of food left. Its kind of loud though but that normal for a blender. It even fits under my cabinets! Highly recommended....
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I splurged on the Vitamix and I am so happy I did. I love making smoothies for my family including 2 small kids and use it almost daily. Easy to use and love the quick clean up with the self cleaning feature!!!! Do not hesitate and buy one!
