Vitamix A2500 Ascent Series Smart Blender, Professional-Grade, 64 oz. Low-Profile Container, Black

Product Information

The Vitamix A2500 has a powerful 2.2-HP motor that delivers remarkably consistent blending results even when processing tough ingredients like nuts. Interested in a Vitamix blender, but hesitate to pull the trigger thanks to the price tag? The newest model, the Vitamix One, might be for you. Released in 2020, the One is the cheapest of all the Vitamix models. Note: This lower price does come with some compromises. The blender is smaller and has a lower horsepower (1.2 compared to 2 horsepower in the Explorian Series). And we did find in our testing that this model didn’t deliver the same oomph as other Vitamix blenders when it came to certain tasks, like crushing ice. However, it is extremely easy to use: Simply turn one dial on the front. Overall it’s a great starter blender for cooks on a budget.

Noise: As we ran our tests on each blender, we noted the maximum decibel level it registered. None of the machines were silent, but noise levels ranged from 70 decibels—similar to a vacuum cleaner—to over 90—similar to a lawnmower. Most Vitamix blenders will come with a recipe book, extra small container, and a blender tamper. 9. Warranty Vitamix tends to use high-grade stainless steel in their blending products to ensure that their customers can get the most out of their blender. But this extra quality does mean that your Vitamix blender will cost a little more than other blenders on the market.Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. A Radial cooling fan and thermal protection system available ins the motor base to cool the machine while running for a long time. The Vitamix A2500 has a built-in digital timer that counts like a stopwatch. It’s useful when preparing custom recipes in batches to achieve consistent results! SELF-DETECT Technology Size matters when it comes to purchasing a blender, as you will keep the blender under your countertop, isn’t it? Vitamix ascent 2500 is a little tall, which may not fit under most of the countertop. Consider the size of the blender you want that will fit your countertop. The more ways you can use your Vitamix, the more value you’re going to get from it. Vitamix blenders are great for grinding coffee, making soups, drinks, curries, and more. Most blenders can’t handle some heavy duty tasks like grinding meat or making nut butters. Vitamix blenders can handle it.

A2500 and the other Ascent Series blenders, including the overall best Vitamix A3500 and the inexpensive Vitamix A2300, have Bluetooth connectivity. Always take the time to consider whether or not you truly need a feature to determine if the price is worth it for your needs. As useful as an auto-adjustment setting can be, if you like to have full control over your blender, then this may not be worth the extra cost. 8. Vitamix accessories Quietest – The Vitamix Quiet One has all the power and effectiveness with none of the noise. This blender comes with a shield cover that majorly reduces noise.We’ve done a full breakdown on how many watts each Vitamix has. Most are around 1500 watts which is plenty of watts for a good blender. 2. Durability Even when we blended some cocoa nibs, which we did slowly with sugar and water, the Vitamix One was able to produce a smooth chocolate sauce. That last test was a little beyond what the manufacturer says this can handle, as the 1.25 horsepower motor is not recommended for blending dry grains, hot items, or nut butter. The narrow base also isn't as great for chunky foods, but it's passable if you layer the foods in. Donna Currie is a cookbook author as well as a writer and product tester for The Spruce Eats, specializing in all the latest kitchen gadgets. She's tested over 90 products for the brand, including the Vitamix A3500. The Spruce Eats Editor Siobhan Wallace updated this roundup to reflect our Lab testing data. But the iconic Vitamix blending performance justifies the high noise levels that deliver consistent results within a few minutes, sometimes seconds! The Vitamix The Quiet One! Yes, the Vitamix A2500 makes delicious smoothies. Its smoothie blending program and the 64-oz low-profile container with SELF-DETECT with large 4-inch stainless steel blades pulverize veggies and fruits for perfect silky-smooth consistency. What is the Difference Between Vitamix A2500 vs A2500i?

This excelled in our tests, blending an aerated smoothie with a very smooth texture. When it came to making peanut butter, we found that the wide and large container is best suited for larger batches. If you know you'll be frequently blending up small quantities, there is a compatible 32-ounce container sold separately that will be best suited for those recipes. For something a little more high-tech, consider a touchscreen interface with programs for hot soups, dips, spreads, and frozen desserts. Some even come with built-in timers and wireless connectivity that reads container sizes to adjust program settings and maximum blending times accordingly. If you want to connect to your smartphone, there are options for that, too. So far, you already know I recommend the Vitamix A2500, primarily for its build quality with a combination of easy-to-use controls and wireless connectivity. Both blenders will make you silky-smooth smoothies, bar-quality crushed ice, awesome nut butter, baby food, desserts, hot soups, and much more!If you have to replace a cheap blender every 3 years then you really aren’t saving money. So you might as well get to have the joy of using the most powerful blender than something that’s cheap and average at best. Vitamix blenders tend to contain incredibly powerful motors, which is excellent news when it comes to blending performance, but this does come at a cost. Almost every single motor is at least 2 HP and most of the new ones are 2.2 HP.
