I purchase the X5 because of the function that this blender does, a big plus to Vitamix for not designing different attachments. This X5 is light weigh so it easy to move from location to another. I gave it 4 star because of this flaw which is important. Dailing in the different setting is not easy. The function dial needs more work, for example if you want grind your spices I had to keep turning the dial till it lands on the spice Icon because it would skipping two or three icon even when turning slow, you can feel it click but just will not move one icon at time. I contact Vitamix they didn't have a solution. I was told to try turning the opposite direction that work for awhile but restarted the skipping. I was told that some other customer was having the same issues. They did say I can returning, however they are not sure if the other one will correct this issues. I hope that Vitamix does something to correct this. Just like the Ascent 5 that I gave my daughter This is a excellent blender. I have use the grinder and it does a beautiful spice mix, I use the receipt from the book.

I am very satisfied with my recent purchase of the vitamix Ascent X5. My previous Vitamix died. It lasted over eight years. The improvements in the next generation is evident. I like the menu options and detection of the canister. Much easier to clean.

I am enjoying the X5 blender. It does so many awesome things including heating your soup. This is by far the best blender that I have ever owned and I like the presets because it takes the guesswork out of getting the perfect blend. It has a very powerful motor to get the job done.

Bought this to replace a Ninja because it wasn’t processing good enough. We are whole food plant based so I use the blender alot. This Vitamix has been an excellent addition to my small appliance stash!! It grind grains to a perfect powder, mixes up all flavors of nice cream, makes nut butters, sauces & guacamole. I can make creamy soups right in the Vitamix- it even heats it up!! These are just a few things I use it for! And it cleans itself!!!! I can’t say enough great things about this product! No negatives.

After only a few weeks of use and ownership the motor is making a horrible loud sound. Took my last vitamix years to do that. Haven’t found the contact info to reach Vitamix yet but plan to.
Jug is good size and easier to clean. Quieter than my last model.
Pros: Other
