Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series Smart Blender, Professional-Grade, 64 oz. Low-Profile Container, Graphite

I 1000% recommend this. I basically use it everyday. Since I purchased it I discovered that we should grind our own grains and use them immediately as we need them. Meaning if you want to make a cake grind your soft grain of wheat into a flour and make you cake right away don't grind any extra flour. So I purchased the dry grain container about 3 weeks ago. My next purchase will be the food processor that goes on it.

Powerful and very functional. It is really a kitchen essential and easy to clean.

I wanted to use this for a while before I made any reviews or judgments. I purchased on 11\2021.TL:DRI will never use another blender again. It does everything that the I need plus more. if it lasts as long as it claims to it is well worth the investment and with the warranty on the motor I am not worried in the least.I can make creamy ice cream, smoothies, raw food juicing, milks, nut butters, soups, drinks and much more.I was an avid fan of Nutribullet. I started out with the magic bullet and progressed my way to the 1200 w Nutribullet that claimed it could blend any fruit or vegetable into a creamy smoothie.Wrong. I would always have small chunks of ginger and baby spinach in my smoothie. I have an aversion to certain textures so this was not acceptable. So I began the deep dive into finding the perfect blender for me. For my household needs I needed a blender that was capable of doing multiple things well ( smoothies, drinks, nut butters, milks, soups, actual blending, whole food juicing, etc.)At first I thought 549 dollars for a blender? Hard pass.Then I noticed I kept coming back to the this blender. I then deep dived unbiased reviews of this blender vs the Blendtec vs the ninja blender.While in the videos the vitamix came out on top about 80% of the time, the only defining qualities the other machines had were a lower price point.i decided against the NInja because the 3 towers of detachable knives peaked my Final Destanation senses and in a head to head blend off in real time the spinach was still separated from the rest of the blend.i veto'd the blendtec bc the reviews weren't that glowing.That left me with the decision of which vitamix to purchase. I was torn between this one and the original. I choose this version because of the timers and the bells and whistles. i don't know sometimes how long i am supposed to blend something and this version gives me the option to add ingredients, sync up to the app and let the machine take it from there. there has not been on recipe when i let the app control that has come out wrong. also if i want to be experimental i can with the dials.Buy it. you wont regret it.

This was an upgrade/replacement to our prior Vitamix. Great blender. Yes, it's expensive, but it's also a perfect machine. And this newest model is a few decibels quieter. That sounds like a minor difference, but it is noticeable, and since you're standing right next to it as you're using it, your ears will thank you.

Absolutely an awesome blender. Also purchased the food processor attachment. Everything was easy to assemble and use. Every attachment is dishwasher safe (except the motor base), however the recommended cleaning method using a drop of dish-soap in the water filled containers, then turning on the unit (followed by a rinse) works very well and is faster than the dishwasher.Very loud blender assembly... from loud to very-very loud depending on speed setting. I have and use hearing protection, and recommend all users wear hearing protection. It may seem like it is unnecessary, but if you use your blender with any frequency, the noise level will degenerate your hearing over time. [FPN: I knew from both reviews and friends who have this unit, it was LOUD, but I felt (still do) it was worth the purchase. Sidebar: I also wear hearing protection (plus other PPE) when using my power tools (chop-saw, table saw, circular saw, zip-saw, drill, etc.). So, I suggest you treat this tool in the same manner as other power tools and protect your hearing!]User Note; the blender motor controller will not allow the motor to energize unless all of the blending (and food processing) attachments are fully seated and the lids/covers are properly (tightly) secured.I'm very glad I have this blender; for me it's very useful and provides all the power to do what it's designed for, with ease.Pros: excellent power range, speed and controls; awesome attachments.Cons: pricy and loud.

The media could not be loaded. I am a living witness to Vitamix blender. Really I had used many blender out there, I don't want to mention names because am not here to destroy any brand. But i must confess this is a blender I have missed for 27yrs before I got introduced to it. Every time I need to blend with my other brands, I always hate the outcome because I would definitely have back skin or seed left with my pepper, leaving me to use a seive. When i tried to blend my pepper 🌶 with Vitamix, behold the smoothness just left me speechless. The quality was just right that I couldn't ask for more. Noise level for a big base like A3500 is 👍. The top seal is fantastic. A great brand that has no equal.

This is the blender of all blenders! I don't know how I lived so long without it - I didn't even know I needed or wanted one of these. I use this blender every single day (for the past 2 months since purchasing it) and absolutely LOVE it. I hated blenders before and the hassle of the cleanup to the point of not owning one for over 20 years. Then was introduced to hyper-nutrition and wanted to give it a try. My old Magic Bullet was working, but not as well as I wanted, and I was making several smoothies a day in too small of a container ...so, I invested in the Vitamix and am I ever so happy I did. I won't ever choose anything else than a Vitamix and just ordered a second one to have at my son's house for when I visit and to support their health. I would highly recommend this super blender to anyone - it really is the best. Makes perfect smoothies and a perfect size for making up a big batch to support health throughout the day.
