Awesome Machine—LOVE the auto-settings! I just upgraded my 15 y/o machine for this one, and couldn't be more pleased with I & the processor attachment!

After years of using an Oster blender to make smoothies I finally purchased an Ascent X3 Vitamix. I am thrilled with the change. My smoothies come out perfectly using the smoothie function icon. Much quicker and quieter than the Oster. The cleanup is also a breeze using the clean function icon. I highly recommend the Vitamix. I have not yet tried anything other than smoothies, but I expect this machine can do everything it is designed to do!

I'm so happy I bought the Ascent X 4 blender. It's quieter than my previous Vitamix blender. I love the sleek look on my countertop and of course it makes smooth smoothies. The purchase was a sacrifice and a replacement for my other Vitamix I had to leave in another country, but it's worth it. I can't wait to try other recipes.

The Ascent X3 is worth the money! It efficiently and smoothly blends foods, which means it's powerful and loud as the speed is increased. I've had it for a few months, love the design, and find it simple to clean. My last blender from a different brand had removable blades (I almost cut myself many times), so I'm happy this model doesn't have that. I've seen many say they've had their Vitamix for a decade or longer. That and the 10-year warranty give me a sense of peace.

Excellent blends every time. Smooth texture and creamy smoothies. Quality machine construction. Thank you!

Awesome blender really like the features that allow you to blend on preset options.

My wife is very happy with it. We had an old model that this replaced and it is far superior. It is quieter, looks great, and works better than expected. I like the smaller pitcher as well. It fits in places our old one couldn't and it's not much less volume than the big and tall old one.

I use the smoothie and cleaning programs most frequently; it is perfect for what I use it for!

I wish the company gave an option to buy a plastic or stainless jar for those who hate buying unnecessary plastic.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow, this is powerful! I've become addicted to making smoothies every other day just because it's so easy, and this blender effortlessly crushes ice and frozen fruits with ease. The touch screen is pretty straightforward. It has designated buttons for smoothies, frozen desserts, soups, and self-cleaning for convenience. This is not a quiet blender; it's powerful, and it shows. I really like the modern design, it looks great on my countertop.
