One high powered machine!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The capacity of this Vitamix is huge! Both the blender and the food processor container can hold enough food to feed a family. The base is very large also, but I cleared counter space for this one. I did feel like all the pieces that came in this set were very necessary to its versatility. The first thing I did was make strawberry ice cream in forty-five seconds! Then I did a vegetable soup, it ate up anything I put in it including potatoes with ease, and made boiling soup in six minutes. The storage for the blades, and the power button plus dial, were both features I greatly appreciated with a two year old in the house. The recipe book had delicious, quick recipes and I found endless online videos for recipes, tips, and tricks. As far as versatility, capacity, and power go, I don't think I've ever used a blender or food processor that compares.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Versatility, Product features, Power

Finally a complete system

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a Vitamix user for over a decade now and was so glad they came out with this new Ascent 2300 complete kitchen system. This set saves me so much counter space and I can now put away my old food processor.
The timer is a very nice feature to have that was missing on my older Vitamix unit. I do have to say that I do miss the pre-set features that my older unit has, such as soup, or smoothie and the auto-stop feature that this Ascent 2300 does not have. It is definitely not a deal breaker, but it is the reason why it does not get a perfect score.
Overall, I am very pleased with the A2300 SmartPrep Kitchen System and it gets a solid 4 stars rating from me.

Increases productivity in the kitchen

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vitamix A2300 SmartPrep Kitchen System is a great investment, especially for frequent users. The system includes the machine base with interchangeable blender and food processor attachments with related accessories. Let me first say that space wise, this is a large, bulky system. However, if you have the space, I feel this system is worth it. The base has an easy to clean rubber centering pad that an attachment is placed on for operation. I was a little worried the blender, in particular, would wobble with this design, but it does not. Both the blender and food processor have snap on lids. I prefer this over my twist lids of similar products, although I find the food processor lid doesn't snap as easily as I would like. I find the system in general is very easy to clean by hand, but nearly all parts are dishwasher friendly, which will save time.
The blender is bulky and smaller hands may have a hard time gripping the large handle. The control panel is very easy to operate. This blender is a powerhouse. The first thing I noticed is how smooth this blends. Very, very smooth texture. Everything needed to efficiently and smoothly blend is included in this set, but if you make single serve smoothies a lot like we do, you will probably want to look into the cup and bowl set that is compatible with the Ascent series. On the lower settings, the blender is not very loud but on the higher settings, it is quite loud. I feel you could only blend on the lower settings if you do not want to wake the household. Although this blender model does not allow for customized programs, there is an app that will allow customized programs to be sent via bluetooth. I was unable to test this feature as the app is incompatible with my phone.
The food processor is a nice surprise. Prep work is a breeze with this! The set includes two discs, one for small shredding/thin slicing and one for larger shredding/thicker slicing and a multi-use blade. The food processor operates at one speed. The food processor stores into itself and I find it still takes up quite a bit of space, but less so than a similarly sized standalone food processor. I do like that the discs are stored in a convenient protective container. I find this to be much easier to hand wash, which is the primary reason I pass on using the smaller food processor we have.
Do I recommend this system? Absolutely! If you are wanting to upgrade or buy into a system that can increase productivity in the kitchen, this would make a great investment.

Amazing quality!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’d recommend these products over and over. Firstly I’d love to talk about how it’s all one base to the product so all you have to do is change the top to you’re liking and put it on the base and blend away. The mixer is huge, and blends with such ease. I love that it has the cup amount listed on the side for easy ways to add ingredients. It’s very very easy to clean, I’m talking you can run it under the water when you’re done and boom brand new! The processor is just as amazing! I’ve used this to make pie crusts and chop up things like garlic and onions in such a breeze. The blades are so sharp, and there’s so many different options of how you can cut things. Lastly id like to include the book provided. There’s so many different options I’d never even think to try such as smoothies, baby food recipes, soups and salads. Overall this purchase will amaze you! This is most definitely a 10/10 recommend!
Pros: Programability, Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Recipe Enhancement, Product features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the end all to all other blenders/food processors. priot to this, I was using a ninja blender and a Cuisinart food processor. Since this, both have been given away. Was I even blending before? This makes the best smoothies I’ve ever had at home! I also made split pea soup and it was warmed/cooked in the blender while being prepared. It’s so simple to use and clean! I also used the slicer option to grate cheese and I grated 4 blocks in SECONDS! If you are on the fence about this - please get it!! You will not be disappointed. This machine is super powerful and efficient. I have pretty much used this every day since I’ve had it. Best blender/food processor I’ve ever used in my life!
Pros: Speed of Service, Product features, Power

Game changer!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love cooking and with a family of 4 this can be difficult with picky eaters and making different meals at different times. I needed a food processor that does everything and I’m not pulling out multiple items to make everything so I found this and after reading reviews I had to try it myself! Game changer!! I can now pull out the base and change things out quickly and easily without unplugging and taking out another kitchen gadget! No more extra dishes or utensils, no more having to make room while juggling everything else. This system is amazing, it’s blends, purées, chops, shreds and more! I love the interchangeable design and the quality is amazing! This comes with a cookbook, extra tools such as the black tool to use while putting vegetables or fruit into the top then continue to feed while keeping your hands and fingers safe! This system is so easy to use my daughters have taken notice and want to help with meal prepping and picking out new things to try, making a list of new things each day! Absolutely recommend this to everyone looking to make space and save time allowing you to get back to more family time! Also the packing was very well organized and kept everything safe with no flaws or issues from shipping!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just love this product! I have never owned a Vitamix. This is my first and have never owned anything similar, but this can literally do anything. I have used it to slice veggies,shred cheese, blend smoothies. It comes with 2 blades that are different sizes. Also comes with the food processor and blender. I am super excited to use it this summer making a variety of things from our garden.
