Top quality blender
Hands down the best blender I’ve ever owned by far. It’s not inexpensive but I feel I’m getting a superior blender, especially with all the features it has, so to me it’s worth the investment. I’m looking forward to all I will be able to do with this blender. It’s a powerful blender that has no problem getting the job done. I honestly wish I got this sooner. Also, the cleanup is one of the things I like the most. It’s certainly not the quietest blender but for me it’s not unreasonable for the power it has.

Just Get It!!!
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!!!

Works as advertised
Works great and is quiet. Put the plunger and bracket in a drawer if it bothers you. It slides right out or back in.

Love this blender
This is my second Vitamix Ascent blender. I keep a very clean house, but somehow a Florida bug got inside the base and ate wires. I was horrified to see that bug fall out of it when I picked it up. I love this blender so much that I replaced it with the exact model. I still quiver thinking of seeing that big bug. That was a very EXPENSIVE bug…😵💫

I expected a bit more for the price range
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 programCons:- 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 damagedOverall for the price of blender I would accept only one minor con.
