Customer Reviews for Vitamix - Ascent Series A2300 Blender - Slate

We purchased the A2300 as we did not need preset buttons. We have used it quite a few times since we received it a couple weeks ago. We use primarily for smoothies but also have been using it to make large batches of Nutritional Yeast dressing (delish!). We picked the Slate colour which looks like stainless steel in the picture online but it is not. It is like a muted flat darker gray and surprisingly nice. I wasn't sure about the newer style lid at first but now I really prefer this lid. You just click it on and it's easy to clean as well.
We followed the directions for loading the Vitamix when making smoothies. Liquids in bottom, frozen fruit in the middle , and greens on top. It has no problem working through any ice, frozen fruit (best to thaw for 5-10 mins first) or greens. I threw in some parsley with stems and spinach and there were no chunks or bits visible after blending. My husband was reluctant to spend so much on a blender and outright said he will refuse to use it. He decided to try it out when I wasn't home and was very excited after saying "It's awesome!!! It just blended everything up . So easy!" I knew he would be won over.
We probably would not be able to afford the cost outright if it weren't for the fantastic payment plans available online. We have split into three payments but I believe you can split into 5 payments as well. Very easy to do.
The only very small gripe I have with it is I find the cord a bit too short. It wouldn't need to be a lot longer but even a half foot would be nice.
The shipping took longer than I expected. From date of order to date of delivery it was 2.5 weeks. It took 8 days or so just to process my order. It felt much longer due to the quick processing/shipping of other larger companies and how badly I wanted to have it in hand.
Very happy with our purchase!
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power

First time purchasing a Vitamix Blender. Did my research first and very happy I did that. I went to the website and used the tool to see which blender would work best for my home. Great idea and it helped.

Best purchase ever! Easy to clean and quiet too. I make salsa, guacamole, and hummus every week - in a snap now, thanks to my A2300 Vitamix. The cookbook was a nice gift too.

After years of having my eye on a Vitamix, I finally decided to purchase one after our other brand blender broke. I am very happy with our purchase. No longer do my blueberry smoothies have splotches of skin in them. I can also get an extremely smooth green smoothie instead of one featuring splotchy pieces of spinach that didn’t get blended.
