Awesome blender
on October 22, 2024
Posted by: Anonymous
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This thing is fantastic! It’s big and holds a ton, great for margaritas or smoothies for a group. There’s a ton of settings I haven’t used yet but am looking forward to trying. It blends through frozen fruit easily and is very fast. Cleaning it wasn’t bad, it’s just a bit cumbersome in the sink because it’s big

Game Changing Blender that Exceeds Expectations!
on October 24, 2024
Posted by: joyi10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vitamix Ascent X5 blender is a total game changer in the world of kitchen appliances. From the moment I unboxed it, I could tell that this was not just any ordinary blender. It’s a thoughtfully designed powerhouse that elevates my culinary experiences to new heights. There are so many things about this blender that I love that I almost don't know where to begin. One of the standout features of the Ascent X5 is its digital interface, which adds a modern touch while making it incredibly easy to use. With 10 pre-programmed settings, this blender effortlessly handles everything from smoothies and frozen desserts to soups and nut butters. Each program has been meticulously calibrated to deliver perfect texture and consistency. Another great thing about it is the self-cleaning feature. You just add warm water and a few drops of dish soap, then tap the cleaning icon, and it does the rest. No more having to tear it apart and clean piece by piece or sticking your entire hand inside. The icing on the cake is the impressive 10-year warranty, which speaks volumes about the manufacturer’s commitment to quality and their belief in the product's longevity. I can not praise this blender enough! It has transformed my kitchen experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their blending game!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This vitamix blender is a beast. I made a smoothie frappé type drink and it didn't skip a beat. I toss frozen fruits along with ice cubes, ice cream and milk. Plenty of power a d this thing has all kinds of modes to choose from with 10 modes. This thing also has add on accessories you can purchase.

Blend like a rockstar!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only reason I could not give this five stars is because it is a bit large for our kitchen countertop space to use daily. We have been using a compact Ninja for years and it can easily stay out. But, I am loving the design & performance so far. I love that it has multiple settings (like for smoothies) because that is what I use the most. Also, my favorite new hack is the self cleaning option, love! It also comes with a recipe book and tips on how to make the best items with the blender so I love that.

I didn’t know a blender could do these things

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Vitamix Ascent 5 is designed with features that go beyond a typical blender to make it more powerful, versatile, and user-friendly. This blender can do much more than your average blender like making hot soups and nut butters because of its key features that include:
✨ High Power-It has a much stronger motor than a normal blender. This allows it to blend tough and hard ingredients into smooth textures easily.
✨Smart Tech-It has smart features like Self-Detect technology, which recognizes the size of the container you're using and adjusts the settings to blend properly.
✨Better Controls-With multiple speed options and a pulse feature, you get more control over the blending texture-from smooth to chunky.
✨Durability-This blender is built to last, with strong stainless steel blades and a more solid design
✨Self-Cleaning: You just add water and a drop of soap, then let it run on a clean setting and voila it’s ready to use again

-This has to be the most bougiest and expensive kitchen gadget, I have ever owned. I would imagine this has to be a chef’s dream blender. Prior to this blender, I have owned a basic Hamilton and I currently own the single use ninja blender. Both worked perfect for smoothies, but an anything beyond that wasn’t ideal especially due to the size of the Ninja I own now. I never knew a blender could do what this blender does. So far all I have made with it is your basic delicious smoothie. It comes with a recipe book and I have already made a list of things I want to try. There is definitely a learning curve to this blender because it’s more high tech than I’m used to, but I’m definitely excited to break it in and have it clean itself after I’m down.

Perfect for smoothies
on November 11, 2024
Posted by: jou3
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Ascent X5 to try out.
I already have an older Vitamix that I enjoy using however it’s not as nice as this new model. The base and the blending container store separately and don’t take up too much room. Everything was neatly/safely packaged for shipping and was easily unpacked.
This unit is digital and I love the preset options. The smoothie setting blends everything perfectly. Starts slow and gradually speeds up automatically at a preset time. I mainly use my vitamix for smoothies.
The X5 has programs for nut butter, frappe, frozen cocktails, dips and spreads, non dairy milk, smoothie bowl and spice grinding. Haven’t used all of them yet but the nut butter and non dairy milk are great. Love that it is a fool proof setting and I don’t have to adjust the speed and time on my own. The lid snaps on securely unlike on my old model. The new blending container is a perfect 6 cup capacity. I find that size much better for smoothies than my old 8 cup. Cleaning it is a breeze.
The machine is LOUD on the higher settings but that is something I am used to. This blender is extremely powerful. Over all I love this new model. It’s easy to use. The pre programmed settings are super helpful and it’s beautiful.

Best of the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow. Just wow! This is one of the best appliances I have used! The amount of different features and blending profiles make this perfect for everything I make. Smoothie? Perfection. Blended drink? Nothing can compare. By far the easiest unit I’ve ever had to clean. It fits perfectly in smaller cabinets. This thing is a beast. I can’t say enough good things about it. Each day I find a new use for it!
