Takes some getting used to
I purchased this because I was tired of buying new Nutribullet every couple of years and replacement parts in between. I also bought the blending cup starter set and blending bowls. First it isn’t clear on Vitamix website if you need a separate base for the bowls and cups (I.e 3 bases) You don’t - the bowls and cups use the same base. My smoothies have never been so smooth. Not even any fine chunks from seeds. I made broccoli soup with it yesterday and it was awesome! Not what I purchased it for but will definitely try some additional soup recipes from Vitamix website Some challenges- Capacity of the blending cup is smaller than the nutribullet and ingredients need to go in in a specific order so it took a few tries to fine tune my ingredients. You have to align the arrow on the base with the arrow on the cup or it won’t turn on. It took many tries and some swear words at first to get the arrows aligned. 1. The arrow on the cup is practically invisible once it’s full. I solved this by marking the outside with a sharpie. 2. I now start by aligning the triangle symbol on top of the base (see attached photo) with the mark in the cup and that seems to get them close enough to work

Best Purchase!
I'll say one thing. I've never used a blender so much in my life until I bought this. I've always wanted a Vitamix, but didn't want to spend the money until one day I just went for it. I bought a Ninja Chef after years of using standard blenders. It was nice, but I felt it was too bulky and very loud. Hardly used it. After about a year I bought a KitchenAid K400 series blender which does much that the Vitamix does. It makes soups, but I believe it was not designed for that. Finally I bought this Vitamix Ascent A2300. Once I made my first tomato soup in this thing, I was amazed and how creamy smooth it turned out! The smoothest tomato soup I've ever eaten. Smoothies are silky smooth with no chunks. I've placed whole apples, stem and all. I've placed pineapple with the core. Everything was liquified! If you can get over the price take, you will not be sorry you purchased this thing!

Total Quality!
I have used my Vitamix almost every day since I recently purchased it. It is capable of doing everything a regular blender can do plus so much more and so much better! Price is more expensive but so understandable. I’ve made dips, soups, crushed iced for the smoothies which I made directly afterward, green juices with my fresh, washed vegetables(skin and all) etc. and never worried about whatever it was having lumps(unless I wanted it too) or not being processed correctly. Total control, and worry free perfection. Just what I need, especially now! It is the ultimate workhorse and I expect I’ll have it for many years and pass it down!
