Only good for large volume blending

I am very disappointed with the ability for this Vitamix to make small batches. It is useless in making single serving meals, like smoothies. The blender probably works great but I wish Vitamix was more up front about not being able to use this model without the canister being significantly filled. I used to use a Vitamix with the tall canister of the same size no problem in making single serving smoothies. I understand a smaller canister can be purchased and may work for my needs but at such a high price point for the blender I expected it to fit my needs of small batches.

Hi there. We do hear you about the container size. Our new Ascent X line now comes with containers that taper down and the bottom to make small batches, all the way up to 48 oz batches. This machine is better for families that are typically making large batches.

Finally fell for a Vitamix!

My foodie friends have been telling me for years that I needed a Vitamix, & now that I have one I am happy to admit they were right! I am having a blast seeing what it will do. One thing that especially pleases me is that I don't need to peel or gut tomatoes if I am making a cooked tomato sauce, & good blast with the Vitamix & I have a perfectly smooth sauce with all the nutrients that are in the peels & seeds. And cleaning could not be easier with the preset. Looking forward to exploring this product's many capabilities!

Incredible features and sturdiness.

I love this machine. It's La Machine on roids. It's powerful and can cut and puree anything in it's path. Cheese, vegetables, nuts Large. Etc. It's a dynamo to work with. If you need to grind up small seeds you will need to get the smaller attachments to get the seeds ground. I bought this in 2019 and is still going strong only the drive socket needed replacement. I highly recommend this machine even though you cant purchase this now the new one looks much better. I like that they stopped using the larger rubber stabilizer on the new one as this 3500 has that large rubber piece and it makes it difficult to clean off lol it attracts anything dry. But I will say the finest blender I have used.

I miss my Ninja

I bought this last year to replace my single-cup Ninja blender that I'd had forever. Honestly, I wish I'd kept the Ninja. The size is nice, and it does well making hot dishes like soups and sauces, but my morning smoothies have never been chunkier. I use frozen fruit and spinach, and it cannot process them. Every morning is a battle with this thing to try to get it to blend. I miss the Ninja.

Powerful, Reliable, and Perfect for Smoothies

I absolutely love my Vitamix blender! It’s incredibly powerful, effortlessly blending even the toughest ingredients. My favorite function is the smoothie setting, which I use daily for perfectly creamy results. The build quality is excellent, robust and durable, and it’s surprisingly easy to clean. The only downside is that it gets quite loud at the highest speed, but given its performance, it’s a small trade-off. Highly recommend for anyone serious about blending!

Worth the expense!!!

I'm so happy I finally gave in and bought a vitamix. I wish I would've done it sooner. All of my family drinks green smoothies. I used to use a Ninja and it never ground things up completely. The vitamix works like a dream. Everything is blended so smoothly and so fast, too. It's easy to use and easy to clean. Recommend over and over.
