Ascent A2300 Blender, Red 64 oz. Red 62047

Easy to use, durable, easy to clean. I've used it for hot soups, no damage done. Smoothies every morning with frozen fruits and blends them perfect in 40 seconds on high. Cleaning is simple just throw some hot water and a drop of dish soap, throw it back on and turn it on then rinse. I haven't put it in the dishwasher yet as I'm a little nervous to attempt. I use it everyday and am super happy.

So there's totally a reason for the crazy following behind the Vitamix blenders. They blend really really well. They are made really well. Really the only complaint about them is their crazy price. We do use the 8oz container a lot, so definitely happy that we bought the Ascent series. We also compared it to the Ninja Chef blender with the similar blade and found the Vitamix blends better (though only noticeable in very specific scenarios, typically they're comparable), and the Vitamix is also quite a bit quieter (though it's still pretty loud). Having said all of that, the price difference between the two doesn't make up for the small-ish difference in performance.

I have heard about Vitamix for years and wasn't ready to believe all the hype. This seller was selling the red A2300 for a very good price so I decided to try it out. I went with this model because of the 10 year warranty. I was blown away how well it works. Doesn't matter what I put in it, celery, carrots, nuts, it all becomes an extremely well blended drink without any detectable particles. Should have bought one years ago instead of the multiple cheap one I have purchased.

I am in LOVE with my new blender! So much better than any other I have own and very WORTH the cost!! I don't feel like I will have to be on the lookout for a new blender for quite sometime! Very well made, sturdy, easy to use, and quieter than ones I have own in the past.

Using it 3-4 times a day. New soups New blended drinks smoother consistency a bit loud, but AWESOME!!
