Amazingly strong blender, with a plethora of settings to boot. Beautiful design, responsive touch buttons and knob. The self clean feature is a plus as well. No issues so far after six months of consistent use.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power
I love my Vitamix. I’ve used it almost everyday for the last month. I make a smoothie most mornings and then use it to prep dinner some nights. I was hesitant at first because of the price, but this thing works so much better than the ninja blender I had been using for years. The blueberries and spinach in my smoothie blend right up.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power
To be honest I had my Ninja mixer for almost 20 years. Mixed somethings great others not so great. OR so I thought. I started getting into more DIY kitchen staples and quickly realized my Ninja was not made for everyday tasks. Could it be the age of it ...no I dont think so. I did a lot of research and settled on Vitamix. They had an amazing sale price so I jumped. IMMEDIATELY I noticed the huge difference. They truly are not even comparable. Speed function and the utmost importance TEXTURE. No longer are my mixes gritty, or tiny chunks they are smooth and velvety. .Anything I use alcohol in the mixture literally got hot as I was mixture. I cant believe I waited this long toget a Vitamix but I will definitely be a forever customer. I now look forward to getting the attachments and fully utilizing every feature. This truly is a QUALITY first machine. The warranty alone speaks volumes

I have been wanting one for years. My husband gave it at Christmas. I love how you can set and walk away on most things. It really grinds the food well, I get more greens this way. I totally recommend this product. So easy to clean and looks good on my counter.

This blender has helped us consume a lot more vegetables thank to it enabling us to make more smoothies with secret veges mixed in, as well as make delicious sauces to enhance the vegetables we already ate regularly. I could not be happier with Vitamix!

It is a good blender but honestly didnt see much difference between an expensive blender like this one and Ninja with third of the price.
Pros: Durability, Power

I purchased a Professional Series 300 blender from Vitamix 9 years ago. It is fabulous. However, I wanted a new and improved version. So after a little research, I purchased the Ascent X5. I am obsessed with this new blender!! I make breakfast smoothies every day. This blender has an automatic setting, and it is fabulous!! It makes the perfect smoothie!
