VitamixAscent X4 Blender, Professional-Grade, 5 Preset Blending Programs, 48-ounce Container, Self-Cleaning, Brushed Stainless

We had an old blender that was on its last leg, around 20 years old, so we were looking for an upgrade with the same reliability. We did a lot of research and landed on vitamix, we chose this one due to the electronic display and the pre-loaded settings. Honestly, it’s so fast and so smooth that making smoothies is a breeze now. We did find that the preloaded smoothie setting can make the smoothies a little fluffier/airer than we’d like, so we do it manually and it comes out perfect every time. We’ve had no problems so far, no ice chips or chunks of anything. The capacity of the blender is a decent size, we can make around three tall glasses of smoothie per blend. Make sure you pay attention to the order in which you put in your ingredients, as that helps with the functionality a lot.

I add 2 cups of water to make my green juice with some fruit in it! I use the Smoothie button twice to get it smooth.I cleaned all parts easily in 3 minutes or less by hand washing it. I also put it in the dishwasher too and no problems. There is a display screen on this Vitamix. I like the preset buttons on this blender and the option to do it manually yourself.Using the push down stick that comes with it, is necessary for a good blend.

I bought this blender after getting tired of cycling through cheaper versions. The price is difficult to swallow, but the value for the price is great! This blender has exceeded my expectations. I primarily use it for smoothies and it does an amazing job blending frozen fruit. The cleaning feature is awesome. So far, it’s been a great investment.

That’s awesome! Now I got the smoothie of dreams!

Wow, what a beast. Definitely the best kitchen device in the world. And the self cleaning really works well, just as advertised. When you order and receive this, your only reaction will be "OMG, Wow."

As soon as I purchased, I was regretting spending that kind of money on a blender but since the first use ZERO regrets. Worth the money and value A++

I've always heard about how nice Vitamix blenders are but I was always putting off trying one because of the plastic vessel - I prefer glass. However, after trying this blender I can say it mixes much better than I have experienced before trying a Vitamix blender. I would prefer glass but the plastic shape does the job very well.

Excellent blender. Made my smoothie a breeze to make. It has pre-programmed settings, you just put in the ingredients, and it does its thing.
