VitamixA3500 Ascent Blender - Soup in 5 Minutes & Ice Cream in 30 Seconds

I have wanted a Vitamix for a long time. Finally bought one and I am so pleased with it. This is a powerhouse of a blender. Yes it’s expensive but I’ve bought many blenders over the years and none had the power of this one and none came with a 10 year guarantee.The hummus took me 30 seconds to make and is so much nicer than shop bought. The blueberry ice cream took one minute to make. The ice cream has just two ingredients, just frozen blueberries and 0 fat yogurt.The blender has a self cleaning mode too. Put some water in it with a little soap and press a button and it cleans itself. All you have to do is wash off the soap suds, put on the draining board and go and have a cup of tea. If still in doubt check out Utube. Hundreds of videos showing the versatility of the Vitamix.

What a beautiful machine, performance, ease of use, love it,LOVE ❤️ it to bits

I bought this to do some heavy duty blending! I paid £999 from Amazon.It started smoking and packed up within a month! It was tough food stuff that I was blending butthats why I bought what I thought was a top of the range blender!I returned it using Amazons' standard procedure, dropped it of to an Evri point, then it seemed to diasapear within the 'system' so that it was not returned.Evri were impossible to contact, EVENTUALLY I managed to speak to someone at Amazon and they did not want to refund me - I had to literally beg for my money back!!! They blamed Evri - fair enough but as I told the Amazon guy I cannot speak to Evri(I had spent hours trying to contact Evri) Evri will listen to Amazon.(Obviously I had proof of returning through Evri).

Based on the 3 star rating here I was hesitant whether this blender was worth the investment. I am so pleased I took the risk and selected the A3500 Ascent model. It is such a time saver for making almond milk and flours, I am really enjoying daily smoothies. I have even used it to made bread dough and cupcake mix. With the self clean preset, it is so quick and easy to clear up! The blender is very professional looking and sturdy, I like the stainless steel finish, Yes it's quite noisy, but it only runs for 1 min or less, so I don't find this a problem. I hope the accessories will be launched soon in the uk, as I would really like the smaller jug to make dips, butters etc.

Dilly- dallied for ages about making the investment. Have had a ninja in the past and it’s sooo noisy.This is quieter and so easy to use and clean.Makes seriously smooth smoothies. Have made a soup to no particular recipe- just left over veg. Was a bit watery. But that’s my fault for not following a recipe. Have made a sun dried tomato pesto. Results were excellent.There is so much more to this machine than I have explored so far. I don’t regret it one minute.

It's the best blender ever! We have made lots of different sauces, dips, smoothies, soup and ice cream! Mega impressed! Don't know what we done without out.

Run a mile- do not order this product if you might want to return it. I sent the item back then company claimed they never received it. Ripped off for £700!!

I finally gave in and bought this Vitamix as recommended by @instantloss and her cookbooks.I absolutely adore my new Vitamix, can’t speak highly enough of it and really enjoyed learning how to use the hot soup and ice desserts functions alongside traditional blend and smoothie functions.I’ve used it every single day since I’ve got it, and I think the brushed stainless steel finish is elegant and modern, fitting in well in most kitchens.I won’t be going back to blendtec/kitchenaid/nutribullets any time soon because they just do not handle ice the same at all - there’s no comparison for me it’s going to have to be Vitamix all the way!

Ich bewerte hier nicht den Vitamix, auf wenn dies eigentlich der Ort dafür sein sollte. Stattdessen soll diese Info den Kunden aus Deutschland und Co. ein bisschen Ärger ersparen, denn das hier von Amazon selbst verkaufte und mit deutschem Text im deutschen Äquivalent von Amazon angepriesene Produkt wird Kunden aus den hiesigen Gefilden eher wenig Freude bereiten, da hier nicht ohne Weiteres zu gebrauchen.Weshalb? Es kommt mit dem britischen 3-Pin Stecker, statt dem hier gängigen Schukostecker. Passt also ohne Adapter nicht in die Steckdose. Da bringt der etwas günstigere Preis meines Erachtens auch nichts. Weshalb überhaupt gelistet konnte mir Amazon beim ersten Kauf nicht mitteilen. Man ging gar von einem Fehler beim Hersteller aus. Zweite Bestellung aber wieder mit 3-Pin Stecker. Dürfte also generell was schief gelaufen sein beim Angebot.Geliefert wird übrigens der A3500 in der aktuellen Version „i“ in nem schicken Karton der auch deutsche Beschriftung auffährt. Mehr aber auch nicht.
