Customer Ratings & Reviews

Worked the first time I used the blender. The second time I used it, it stopped working!

This is a simple and powerful blender that can handle whole fruits and vegetables for the an easy experience. With multiple settings on a touchscreen panel, you can make smoothies, yogurt, soup, dip, and just about any smooth treat in-between. The touchscreen panel comes with a timer, pulse button, self-clean feature and smart detection sensor so as to not operate if there's no lid or container connected. The panel also has a knob to cycle through the pre-programmed blender settings. The container is 48 ounces or 6 cup capacity which to me seems good for a two person household. It also has a separate tamper for pressing in food from the lid as the blender operates. The tamper is not long enough to get caught up by the blades, but long enough to push whatever produce down into the blender. The blender has a built-in tamper holder. The base of the blender is wide enough to be stable while operating, and the motor is a bit on the buzzy side. It can fit under the counter for easy storage.

I used to have an old Vitamix blender from around 2013. It's still going strong, but I decided to get this as it seemed like a huge upgrade over that one. I was right. This blender is so much better than the old one. For starters, it has a screen that lets you pick multiple different options (Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, Soups, Frozen Cocktails, and Dips & Spreads). It's also got actually buttons rather than levers and comes with a tamper and tamper holder. I can make so many more types of smoothies and shakes with this new blender. It also comes with a recipe book. I don't have to spend time brainstormign what I want to drink; I can just open the recipe book, find a recipe for which I have all the ingredients, and effortlessly blend it together and have a finished drink two minutes later. The only negative I can think of is the tiny jug. For that price, I think a 64 oz. jug should be included and I shouldn't have to purchase one separate for more than a hundred bucks. Over, the Ascent X4 is a solid blender and I'd suggest it to anyone looking for a blender to make smoothies and/or shakes.

If a blender was ever more than a blender, this is it. I have played with every preset and most of the manual settings. This is almost a food processor. There is a salsa recipe that comes in the recipe book. Highly recommended. For smoothies, I put the liquids in first and work my way up to more solid matter. Hit the menu button, and it about 90 seconds, the smoothie is being consumed. Cleanup is a breeze. The parts are 'dishwasher safe' but the self clean does a great job. Just fill the pitcher half way with warm water. Add a couple drops of dish soap. Hit the self clean button....Rinse and let dry. Included along with the recipe book is a tamper and a tamper holder. It simply slides in under the left hand side of the blender and the tamper sits in the shot glass looking cup. The tamper could be confused for a very small wiffle ball bat or Billie club. Yes, my kids have hit each other and me with it. It is hollow and does not hurt, depending on where you are hit. The one oddity I found, and took me a minute to figure out. The lid does not screw on. There are tabs on the edges, simply extend one slightly to remove the lid. The tamper hole screws in though. Overall this is a fantastic blender. Like I said, it is almost a food processor.

I got this primarily for my wife, who loves her small kitchen appliances. She's been using it for chopping/blending/pureeing pretty much anything she can get her hands on with this blender since we received it and hasn't found any item she puts through it that it can't handle. As with any blender it's a bit loud, but with the power that this machine has no amount of noise can make me complain. Fair warning - at "High" , it's really loud! The 10 speed variable motor opens the door for all sorts of variations to textures/chunkiness/smoothness of your blend. This is very welcome as we all have different wants/needs for how our end product turns out. *DO* take the time to read the documentation - it actually is very helpful and doesn't read like stereo instructions. They took the time to prepare something that actually is worth reading and worth your time. Sure, it's a blender, how hard could it be? Not hard at all, but it does give great tips on how to get the most of your blender and maximum perfection every time! Sure, you can get away with a sub-$100 blender, but if you REALLY care about your results, this is the blender to have in your kitchen! Don't loan it out - you'll NEVER GET IT BACK!

I just replaced an older Votamix model with this one, not because there were ever any issues with it, but because I wanted a model that could use their food processor. They make amazing smoothies, and the presets all work surprisingly well. I've never had any issues with my Vitamix machines, and they make significantly smoother results than other brands I've used in the past.

The Vitamix Ascent X4 Series blender is built to last. The unit is advertized to last up to 10 times longer than the average blender and it is so sturdy I'm sure this is correct. It comes with a tamper (a rolling pin like cylinder) that you insert through the top of the lid to push ingredients closer to the blades. The tamper has a base that attaches to the unit and a plastic cup sits on it that you keep the tamper in. This eliminates the mess from setting the tamper on the counter between needing to use it. The X4 Series has a menu containing Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, Soups, Dips & Spreads and Frozen Cocktails. If you are looking to make any of these just load the Container select from the menu and press Start. The Ascent X4 will take it from there. The Recipe Book is another plus. Besides the normal ingredients to make a smoothie there are a couple of pages describing how to "Boost Your Smoothie Nutrition". In addition to the items listed in the menu you also have recipes to make Smoothie Bowls, Nut Butters, Frappes, Non-Diary Milks, Spice Blends and Dressings. So far have loved this!
