Food Prep
Learn how to mince garlic, chop carrots, shred potatoes, and grate hard cheeses without tedious knife work. Your Vitamix blender can do the work for you.
Batters
With the turn of a dial, you can quickly and easily mix batters for pancakes, waffles, cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads. Perfect for all those special-occasion recipes, too (like apple pie cookies and chocolate cake in a mug).
Smoothies & Juices
Turn healthy fruits and vegetables into refreshing smoothies and juices. The Vitamix blender uses the whole ingredient, including the fiber, for a great snack or complement to any healthy breakfast.
Nut Butters
Making your own natural, preservative-free nut butters is so easy. Try a variety of flavors for sandwiches, fruit dips, healthy snacks, or a peanut butter smoothie. Almond butter can also add nutty flavor to Asian soups and sauces.

Create inexpensive, non-dairy milk for many lactose-free recipes, whether pouring over cereal or making smoothie recipes, overnight oats, or vegan mac and cheese.
Hot Soups
The friction of our blades can make steaming-hot soup in under 10 minutes, right in the container; chilled soups take even less time. Make each blend your own by playing with add-ins like ramen noodles, tortellini, or kefir.
Frozen Desserts
Your Vitamix blender will quickly and easily create chilled desserts for you, from ice cream and sherbet to fruit sorbet and milkshakes.If you've always wanted to know how to make ice cream, look no further.

Powerful blender - expected more...
Looks nice, blends well and easier recipes with lots of liquid.
Very loud - doing a nut butter or a humus it sounds like cutting a tree with a chainsaw... Way louder than a vacuum cleaner.
Make sure you have a spatula to remove contents [one from dollar store does the job exactly as good as the $20 sold by Vitamix]
Cleaning is not as easy as advertised - not a 'self cleaning machine' really. Multiple rinsing required.
Very expensive for what it seems a vacuum cleaner motor in a base with a nice plastic carafe on top. BTW, in less than 30 days the carafe showed signs of clouding/scratching and we took very good care of it - questionable durability.

Heavy Duty Magic Machine
We had the Ninja for years and splurged on this Vitamix for Mother's Day. I didn't have a particular model in mind and went with this one simply because it had high reviews online. It is amazing! I cannot believe that it can even make hot soup!! Mostly we use it for our daily breakfast smoothie and it makes the texture so creamy-dreamy. Only con (which is unavoidable I think) is that it is SUPER NOISY. Like terrified me and made the dog and baby cry the first time I turned it up to full speed. I was afraid it would break! But no...that's just how it works. It is a super intense machine and takes its job seriously. You will adjust to the noise. Two thumbs up!

Liked my 5200 better I think
I use my Vitamix at least once but often up to 4 times per day. So...heavy use.
It's not that I don't like the Ascent--I do. But, after owning the 5200 for 8 years this one didn't knock my socks off. I live alone so I often make smaller portions. The wide/stout canister isn't great for this. I have read other reviews about this problem but Vitamix said they had fixed it with the Ascent. Maybe it was fixed a little but not entirely. Once the accessories are available, I may like this better.
The buttons have also taken some getting used to. If you have never had a Vitamix before, you may have no problems. They still feel wrong to me after 4 weeks of heavy use.

True user
i had to purchase this myself vs being given one for my review so here it is from a true user. here are the things to keep in mind: it is VERY loud, if making a smoothie for one it doesn't do so well due to the low volume in a large container and the smaller containers aren't available yet, made ice cream following the directions and ended up with frosty sludge not ice cream, made soup and when using hot ingredients it was perfect using room temp ingredients had to heat it up in microwave. I do love how it fully chops everything into a nice texture. Not sure I love the overall price to performance but I have hopes for its greater versatility when the smaller containers come out.

Blown away!
This blender is amazing! I am seriously blown away by its power! I use this to make soup, smoothies, and baby food and it gets it perfect EVERY time. I was baffled to find out I could put RAW carrots in my Vitamix and it would make baby food for my 7 month old the PERFECT consistency! Being able to use raw food for so many recipes makes this blender SO worth it for me. Raw foods are SO much better for you and it cuts my cooking time drastically. This blender is so convenient and allows you to be consistent in your blending with the digital timer. I will seriously never use another blender!

Great but not ideal for a couple.
This is a great blender, but I’m not too impressed with its smoothie making capabilities with the giant 64 oz. container it came with. It makes a big mess and doesn’t fully blend a single sized smoothie. I’m pretty disappointed that the 32 oz container isn’t availble for my model. And the 48oz pitcher and smoothie cups (which have been sold out since I got the blender) are really expensive! I bought this around thanksgiving and gave it to my husband for Christmas, so it’s too late to return it. So far it just isn’t getting used until I can wrap my head around spending a lot more money to get the a smaller pitcher. I wish you could choose which pitcher your initial order.

Food Stuck Under the Rubber Ring
Unlike the old model, the clear plastic lid on Ascent series has a rubber ring to prevent liquid from leaking when the mixer is on. Unfortunately, food gets trapped under the rubber ring and there is no way to clean it because the ring is tightly fitted on the lid. I make smoothies everyday and I can see the build-up under the seal. It's kinda gross and un-sanitary.
Except for that, I love the performance of this machine.My suggestion, get the old style one with black lid.

Absolutely amazing blender!
I have been blown away by the features of my Vitamix! The fact that you can whip up homemade almond butter in less than 2 minutes is reason enough to go get your own! I love all of the functions on the Vitamix, especially the timer. The clean and minimal design is something I always gravitate towards when purchasing new kitchen appliances. I was nervous at first to make the switch to a Vitamix since I'm not quite at "chef level," but I quickly realized that ANYONE can use a Vitamix. It's so easy, and the recipes it comes with will quickly turn you into an at home chef! I was given this product for free in exchange for my honest review. These opinions are my own.
