Exceeds expectations with power and ease of use
Could not be happier with this blender. It is far better than my old ninja. I use my Vitamix at least once a day, I use to use my Ninja once every few months.
I've used this for smoothies, soups, choping, hummas, nut butters, etc.
Very powerful, and easy to use and clean. Everything I've made has super smooth textures, and the smoothie setting takes less than 1 minute.

Great Investment!
I've had my A2500 Ascent for about 2 weeks and absolutely love it! I've used it daily and have made smoothies, soup and nut butter. All have turned out perfectly. I really like the preset speeds for smoothies and soups; the soup is actually hot and ready to serve when finished on the soup setting. It is so simple; easy to use and easy to clean. The motor is more powerful than any I've used. Definitely a great investment. I would recommend it without reservation.

No surprise, I like it
After 10 years, our previous Vitamix started sounding funny and would occasionally smoke, so it was time to move on. Perfect timing with the sale. I like the streamlined control panel, preset options and the digital timer keeps us on track. I'm giving it five stars, because I don't find it to be noticeably quieter than the previous models, just a lower frequency; the burning smell (which is normal with new use) hasn't gone away, yet, after 3 weeks of use, so I may have to call Vitamix; and I like the old rubber top rather than the plastic. Blends fabulously, as always.

Skeptic but turned believer
I bought this for my wife as she had always wanted one even though I was skeptical with it being worth it costing so much. However after comparing it side by side with a popular bargain competitor, we found it to be quieter by about 10 decibels and the same smoothie came out noticeably smoother and finer. After a few recipes we've been sold completely and it doesn't hurt that it's a 10 year warranty.

Love it! First thing I made with it was cream of asparagus soup! More than delicious and so fresh tasting. Took about 5 minutes to make! Love my Vitamix!

Does this container work with the new Ascent blenders? I'm specifically interested in the A3300 model, but theoretically, if it works for that model, it should work with the others in the series, too, right?

Does this model have the self cleansing feature?
BEST ANSWER: It doesn't have the cleaning preset but you just need to add warm water and a dab of dish soap after use and run it again to clean it right up. I start it on 1 then ramp up to 10 for about 30 seconds or so and it works great. Rinse it a couple times before running a cleaning cycle to get the best results.

What is the difference betwwen the 2500 and the 3300 Ascent?
BEST ANSWER: The A3300 has touch buttons, a digital nob, programmable timer, and an LCD display screen. The A2500 has paddle switches, a mechanical knob, a time, and 3 pre-programmed settings. The big difference is (1) the type of user interface - Touch screen v. mechanical buttons/switches; and (2) pre-programmed v. programmable.
Otherwise, they have the same motor, container, and look.
