- Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2025This has quickly become my favorite kitchen gadget! I love that it combines both a blender and a food processor. The blender performs significantly better than both the KitchenAid and Ninja models I used to own—there’s really no comparison.
As for the food processor, I have a few minor concerns. It only has one speed, and it’s quite fast. I wish there were an option to adjust the speed for more control. Additionally, the food chute needs to be locked in place for the processor to function, which means you can’t use the larger opening to process bigger vegetables. Instead, you have to cut them down to fit the smaller hole, which is a bit inconvenient. That said, the chute size is similar to other food processors on the market, so I’m just puzzled as to why the larger opening is part of the design when it can’t actually be used.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2024I wanted a Vitamix for years but couldn’t justify the cost when I had a decent blender and food processor. My husband and I became vegans 18 mos ago and make lots of things from scratch. The deal breaker was cashew ricotta for vegan lasagna. Done! Bought this Vitamix and have been so happy I did. It can handle everything!!!! The fact that I can make monthly payments made it so easy. Wish I had done this sooner.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2024I love this blender. I've been waiting years for a Vitamix and was making do with the Nutribullet Rx because they are so expensive. I got tired of constantly having to completely unscrew the whole lid and move things around constantly on the old one to keep things blending unless using a lot of liquids. I wish i hadn't waited. This blender is a dream. I can make frozen fruit 'ice cream', soups, hummus, smoothies, whole fruit juices. I have done it all with no problems or overheating. I called Vitamix and this blender and the components in this bundle are included in the warranty. I haven't used the processor yet but will be this weekend so I will update this if I don't like it. The online business "NoYoke" has good recipes and tips for using these blenders also.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2025I was very disappointed with this product. I have a vitamix blender and love it. This bundle with the food processor is not made as well as the older models. The food processor lid did not snap on at all. It seemed not to fit. The blender container and food processor bowl were made with a thinner plastic than older models. It just seems very cheap for the price. I returned it the day after I received it. Such a disappointment. I do not recommend purchasing this vitamix bundle.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024The media could not be loaded.
2. The design seems to be made to accumulate dust in the corners, it has some places that with time will get stains and it will be hard to clean.
3. The food processor operates only in one speed, how come Vitamix? It is a expensive attachment to run only in one speed.
Now that I used a second time I don’t think it is worth to buy the food processor attachment, it runs in only one speed, this speed is too fast and just pulverizes everything as if I would be using a blender, It doesn’t make sense to have just one speed, I wonder why did Vitamix do that, in my case I can’t return the product because I brought it to Brasil with me, but apart from loving my old Vitamix blender the I would give 4 stars to the ascend blander and 0 star for the food processor attachment.
2.0 out of 5 starsI’m a big fan of Vitamix products, in my trip to America I purchased on Amazon the bundle Vitamix ascent blender with de food processor, I already had a vitamix 5200 that I bought in 2010 and I just love it, it got broken one time, it was fixed, but it was time for an upgrade to the ascent series.I still love vitamix, 3 things are very upsetting. 1 it spills whatever you are making everywhere, even in low speed, the speed doesn’t go even like the 5200, the speed oscillates a lot, if you open the middle lid it will spill.The food processor attachment accepts only ONE SPEED.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2024I have wanted a Vitamix for years and just thought they were a little too pricey I bought a ninja and lasted over five years. It was really good now I am really glad I spent the extra money everything this makes. I feel like it’s one of the best things I’ve ever eaten smoothies, soups, hummus, falafel. It’s a part of my daily use and meal prep has lost a lot of stress.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2024My old VitaMix is great but this one has more power and is awesome. I make my own nut butters so the high power helps for a creamer product. Having the food processor attachment is a plus as well. Everything stacks together for compact storage. I save so much money making my own rice flour, almond butter, soups, pesto, smoothies, and more! I also purchased the spatula designed for the VitaMix to provide easier clean out of food, also making cleaning a breeze! The VitaMix will save you time and money while aiding to healthier eating habits!

5.0 out of 5 stars Run don't walk
I don't normally write reviews but I felt obligated since I went way over budget to buy a blender.
When I was perusing the market for a blender, simply for shakes and smoothies, I was eyeing the Ninja for a while. I found out from some research that for longevity and multi-purpose the Vitamix was the better option.
But to justify paying almost $1,000 for a blender? That's the thing, it isn't just a blender, this is a food processor too. For a Vitamix standard of a peak motor running at 2.2hp (horsepower!) That's exceedingly strong for a household kitchen blender meaning it even exceeds the average hp of your average food processor! This bundle even includes 4 discs (small/thick shred/slice) plus the julienne discs (thick/thin). They're very sharp and work extremely efficiently, slicing and shredding a carrot in less than a second.
Vitamix has run in my family for 10 years and I don't mean that it's been bought and replaced multiple times, I mean the very first Vitamix my mom owned she still has from 10 years ago. It's an investment that lasts long with a 10 year warranty.
My one and only complaint is that the covers are all a bit tight, but I'm sure with some use overtime it'll loosen. It is loud after about speed 4 or 5, but that's to be expected, it's a blender!
So if you ask me, it's well worth the money. Do buy if you're a busy mom, health geek, or you simply need a sous chef in the kitchen.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY IF YOU LIVE IN EUROPE!
The product that you get is made for the US voltage system and it is NOT COMPATIBLE with the European one and by that i dont mean that it uses a different plug shape!
Amazon confirmed to me twice that the product will have 220V but they still sent the one for 110V!
Super disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Makes great smoothies
Chose Vitamix to replace the old nutribulet. Like the machine so far. I wish it had less details. Like the silicon rings around lids that traped some food in, I had to take it off to clean. I hope the silicon holds and will not snap with every clean. The base and regular continer as in pic 1 did not fit under my cupboard, I have a special little wooden table for it. The food processor watch out for the blades, they are sharp I got cut trying to wash it, but it does its job making purre. It is easier to store then my previous kitchenaid food processor. See pic 2. Overall I am keeping it. It replaced 2 appliances, but takes same amount of space in the cupboard.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the best!
The Vitamix has always been touted as the best blender on the market and now they’ve outdone themselves by adding in a food processor that completes the food prep set without the need for extra appliances. You have everything covered in one appliance without sacrificing power to get the job done. And the icing on the cake…excellent customer service and a 10 year warranty. You can’t go wrong with Vitamix!!!
