I bought my first Vitamix fifteen years ago. This is my third buy I have enjoyed using this product. It is the only blender the is able to make my smoothie just the way I like it. Thank you Vitamix for your attention to detail giving a product all love and enjoy using
Overall super happy with this purchase. The blender feels really high quality, there aren't any nooks or crannies for smoothies to get spilled into (my ninja had real problems with smoothies leaking into the motor). Subtracted 1 star because a lot of the attachment pieces are plastic and it makes me nervous that they won't last as long. For the price I would anticipate that the accessories would be the same sturdiness as the actual body of the blender but they feel pretty cheap (I wish they were made out of glass or with connection points that are less tab like (plastic tabs feel like they'll break)) . With that said, I'm super happy with the purchase overall and would certainly buy from them again.
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
This is a great system with the food processor attachment. This is new for us and only a couple of months old. The motor is very powerful. However, I have been able to push it to its limits. I make some of the thickets smoothies I can. Frozen fruit galore, I will add fresh oranges for liquid and that's about it. I start with the oranges and add my protein powder and possibly some chia seeds. I blend this, then slowly add the frozen fruit. This mix is challenging for the blender. The X2 does get the job done better than any other blender I've tried, where were a Ninja brand and a Cleanblend professional. I expected a night and day difference, but did not see such a huge leap. The X2 is much better and smoother, but it did not pass my smoothie test with flying colors. I do have one issue. The lid for the smart prep food processor is awkward putting on and taking off. Otherwise, the system is great, powerful, and well designed.
