Ascent X5 Blender with 10 Blending Programs, Self-Cleaning Program, Professional-Grade Blender for Smoothies, Soups and More, Stainless-Steel Blades, 48 Oz Container, Brushed Stainless

These products speak for themselves. This is expensive, but worth every penny. All my kid wants to eat is pouches and now I can make a blender to fill 10 reusable pouches in one shot. It is so powerful and blends everything super smooth.

This blender is probably the last one I will ever have to buy. It's a beast!! Handles everything with ease and cleanup is so easy. I have made mostly smoothies and hummus so far,but I am looking to do soups next. Luckily it barely fits under my upper cabinets for countertop storage,but for use I pull it out from under the cabinet of course. The noise doesn't really bother me,because I get the desired result so fast. It is only noisy for a couple of minutes tops.

Vitamix, to me is the Don of the dons when it comes to blenders. I returned this blender and got the 750 Series, and that’s because I’ve owned a 750 series for approximately 10 years already. It never let me down until it started acting up AFTER the warranty expired. The Ascent X5 was more expensive and simply more fancy smanchy for no good reason other than a bit more power lol. Nevertheless, Vitamix has been liquifying my health concoctions with pulp and all for quite a long time. No need to separate & waste needed roughage. And there’s no reason for me to separate my loyalty from Vitamix…….

I LOVE My Vitamix!!! I bought a Vitamix back in the 70s; it lasted for 40 plus years; I used it daily. I just recently upgraded to the Ascent V. I couldn't be more pleased. The versatile programs for preparing a variety of tasty concoctions are simple to do. The directions and symbols are uncomplicated. It is so easy to clean! In just a couple of minutes, it is ready to use again. It blends food beautifully .. great smoothies, soups, and dips..etc. I did buy the Stainless Steel container to use with it as I prefer using SS. I love it also. It is important to make sure if you buy the SS container that you get the one compatible for the Ascent V. This is one powerful and easy to use appliance. Don't balk at the price. This machine has already paid for itself. And you can choose a payment plan to pay it off without interest through Amazon. The Ascent V Vitamix is an investment in my health. And I Am Worth It!!!

game changer

Amazing!! Especially when you’ve tried to make peanut butter on other food processors or blenders. This one made it so fast. I was worried about the price at first, but, well worth it.

Great machine if you're into smoothies and all that it does. It's definitely not your mom's blender.

Pros: - sturdy bottom part of the blender with simple attachment that does not require screwing or turning into proper position - simplicity of control panel - blade that you cannot cut yourself on - self-cleaning program Cons: - as much as I like the simplicity of control panel, I don't like the menu icons that are very similar and it's hard to remember which one is for what program - also it takes too long for blender to boot up after turning on the main switch - to start blending I have to press the start button twice - thin plastic container that doesn't belong on expensive blender, hard to clean if you need to do it manually - burning new smell on higher speeds (initially I thought it will go away, but now I've been using it for a month and it's still there) - when I put in harder vegetable, it wouldn't spin, even on higher power - low quality plastic tamper, that needs to be used quite often, but it still gets pretty messy - tamper holder mount next to main on/off switch makes it hard to access the switch, and it holds tamper too tight - no replace or return if damaged Overall for the price of blender I would accept only one minor con.

J'avais l'ancien modèle qui allait tout aussi bien que j'ai payé beaucoup moins cher mais l'ai donné à ma nièce en cadeau! Alors il va super bien mais pas nécessaire d'avoir le modèle le plus cher !!!

Stopped working in 1 month. The company asked me send it back for repair and incur the cost of shipping. I was aghast and spent the same my to return the product for a full refund

I’m not sure yet because I haven’t used it but right off the bat I’m not impressed at all with the tamper. It looks and feels like a kids toy. It reminds me of a kids bowling set pin. Unbelievable for a product this expensive to have a part that’s so cheaply made and looks ridiculous!

$1000 for a flagship blender that can't blend 3 cups of ice.... Are you f'in kidding me? Don't bother...build quality is poor, including the plastic hollow 'tamper' they provide, the preset symbols all the look the same with no text, so selecting the wrong one is likely to be a common occurrence. Tried multiple blends and the 'vortex' that they keep talking about, rarely appears and it pretty much demands that everything gets jammed down to the blades with the plastic kids nightstick from the dollar store.

Love this thing. Way better than my old broken ninja
