The best blenders are also the most versatile. īut yeah i also wanna do think smootie and milkshake without any chucks of fruits on it, breaking down ice was also one of my requirements i’ll probably try to do sorbets as well and this kind of things, summers are becoming more and more hot and where i live is kinda of a dry area during summer so i have good hope on this product. I really hope i didn’t fall on a scam though. My retailer is one of the few official Vitamix retailer in my country apparently and they do propose the 10 years warranty, it was one of my main purpose on buying there otherwise i would have to pay to just have a 5 years warranty on another website. But at the same time, I also like the large 2 L capacity.Īnd indeed the one i bought is the A2500i, and since this retailer is selling only the A2500i i hope that the proposed accessories are compatible with the product they are selling, but actually there is not that much, i was interested by the bigger cup for individual smoothie portions, but it’s not that a big deal, i can cope with the basic equipment. The only downside I see to the A2500 or A3500 with their short/wide 2.0L jar is the minimum 2 cup blend. I've had the bearings on the blender jar blade wear out and cause overheating, and the replacement jar was covered under warranty in North America. So, I would like you to be able to use their warranty if needed. I am asking you to look into the warranty for your country because you said A2500 for 700€ and as far as I know, they sell the A2500i in Europe. And check the price comparison with Vitamix online store (if they ship in your country) and any in-person store, as Vitamix sometimes has sale going on for $50 or $100 off blenders in Canada/US.Įdit: I personally have the A3500 and really enjoy the blender as I like to make thick smoothies. As in the warranty will be available for you for the 10 or so years you're likely to use the machine (A2500). A2500 is mostly sold in North America, and A2500i is mostly sold in Europe)Īnd since you're in Europe, check with Vitamix if the seller you're buying it from is good for you. For example, the food processor accessory does not work on the A2500i, but it does work with the A2500. You can buy more accessories, but be sure they work with the Ascent series models if you choose to buy the A2500 and the warranty for those accessories works in your country. So as long as the hot liquids you're adding are up to that temperature, you're good. I believe the soup setting cooks everything in the blender to 70 degree Celsius. Question, can we put some hot liquid or hot thing on this product? Can we buy more accessories ? So, if you're making thick smoothies, the presets are useless as you'll need to run the machine for longer duration for a better result. However, the presets are just a specified time for the motor to run at different speeds. The presets are good if you like to multitask such as put your blender on smoothie setting and use the 50 or so seconds to wash out the cutting board or grab the bowl/ cup you're going to drink from. I plan to do smoothie for this summer, juice and soup and also breaking down ice. So, in my opinion, a Vitamix is a “must have” product if you plan to incorporate while plant foods into your diet. Start at a low speed and slowly increase until it reaches the desired consistency.) The Ninja never ground the cashews fine enough to make a good cashew cream. (Soak raw cashews overnight in water, drain, rinse, put in Vitamix with as much water as you want depending on how thick you want the cream to be. The Vitamix can also make hot soup but I rarely use that feature. Thus, I buy whole flax seeds which get broken up as I use them. I’m told that whole flax seeds don’t get digested but buying them already broken oxidizes too quickly. I use the smoothy program on the Vitamix. You cannot see or feel any of the individual ingredients including the flax seeds being completely pulverized. The smoothy typically had a few pea-sized pieces of the walnuts, tiny pieces of the greens, and the flax seeds remained whole.Ībout a year into it, I was staying at a friend’s home who had a Vitamix which I used to make a smoothy.Īfter that experience, I came home and bought a Vitamix. I bought a Ninja concluding that I could buy 3 or 4 of them for the price of a Vitamix. My breakfast is typically a smoothy including fresh fruit/berries, leafy greens, a few walnuts, flax seeds, and fresh ginger/turmeric. Second, I started on a whole plant food diet 9 years ago. I found the Ninja starting to wear after about a year while, 8 years later, the Vitamix shows no sign of any wear. Having used both, my opinion is that a Vitamix is worth the significantly higher price over the Ninja.įirst, where the motor connects to the bottom of the pitcher is metal-to-metal on the Vitamix but all plastic on the Ninja.
