*I had one of these before and it lasted many years and I used it a lot. It blends **MyBest.Kitchen** chops ,grates. Does most anything you would want to use it for. A lot of bang for your buck. A litlle loud however it so fast it is not bothersome.*
Can't go wrong with a Vitamix when it comes to blending a perfect green smoothie!
What a gorgeous kitchen! Wow! Thanks for the demo. I have a Vitamix that’s over ten years and it STILL blends my smoothies up creamy in no time flat. They make great products.
I agree! Vitamix blenders are awesome. Mine is over seven years old and still going strong.
I love that you don’t have to guess how long to blend the ingredients to make the perfect consistency. The dishwasher setting is amazing!!!! No need to risk cutting a finger washing it by hand.
Those are two of my favorite features. It is a really nice blender.
Love the smart feature as well as the cleaning cycle. Set it and forget it is awesome. Thanks for doing these demos!
You're welcome thanks for watching and commenting.
I like the demonstrations of new blenders, because it helps about one day upgrading my blender. I love the one I have, but it is always great to see how Vitamix continues to improve and not rest on past accomplishments with their line of blenders. Please keep doing these type of videos and think they are great!
Thanks Steven, we appreciate the encouragement!
Excellent demo. Very impressed with this blender and love the self-cleaning feature.
Thank you for your feedback!
The self cleaning doesn't work with everything you blend, I blended Mac and Cheese for my special needs son and I have to wash it by hand because the self cleaning doesn't do a good job, for smoothies yes.
I loved watching you for the first time today! You are very relaxed and natural. I hope I get a Vitamix for Christmas! Can’t wait to try your green smoothies. ❤️
A Vitamix would be an amazing gift!!! Can't wait for you to have one of your own!!
This was awesome. I have watched other reviews (which are great) that talk about all the technical benefits of this particular model but those ones don't ever leave me with an understanding of what everyday use looks like. THANK YOU
Love this blender. Would love to have one. I've been thinking about getting one for a year. Will get one soon I hope. Thank you for your demo!
They are awesome blenders!
Other than the smart features, cleaning, compactness, power, soups, presets, the 10 year warranty is hard to beat! WOW!!! I greatly appreciate USA made too!! Thank ya, Jen!
A 10-year warranty is pretty amazing. Thanks for watching the video.
Having the smoothie setting and seeing it pull all the ingredients down and not just bounce around in the container is great!
This is a powerful blender. Thanks Michael!
Thanks for the review, this has been my dream blender for so long. My family loves green smoothies too because they’re so versatile and delicious.
I also subscribed to the newsletters for more tasty ideas. Thanks for the chance!!
Thanks for watching and subscribing to the newsletter!
I have been wanting a Vitamix for quite sometime and been researching. After viewing this I love the fact how the settings are easy and blends so fast as well as the timer. Even more the clean up.
We love our Vitamix blenders and so happy this video was helpful to you!
I like how smart this. blender is. It also sounds like it might be quieter than their older models. Thanks so much for the great demo and all your delicious recipes!!
This blender is pretty quiet! Glad you enjoyed our demo and recipes.
Jen this demo was so helpful and I've been wanting to get a Vitamix Forever! I'm a mama of 4 and my kiddos and I love having a smoothie, especially after school :) I love that you have a smoothie button option and it blends in 45 secs, that is crazy. Also that it self cleans is pretty amazing too since the reality of life is that the sink is always full. I would love to see more green smoothie recipes and focuses on using Superfoods in them like chia seeds, seed blend mix hemp/flax/chia, maca, Matcha, and protein powders. Thank you, Christina
Thanks for your feed back about focusing on using Superfoods. The smoothie button function on the blender is amazing.
I'm actually planning on getting it but the fact is cleaning it makes your life so much easier is super helpful
Sooo true! When your blender can make awesome smoothies *and* clean itself, that's a win-win!
I absolutely love how this Vitamix is tailored for so many different functions! And I love how it was so easy to clean. Plus the smoothie was pretty impressive, considering there were no chunky bits of spinach. I'd really love one, I want to start a business and I know this would get me on the right track!
Thanks for watching our video.
Now thats the cadalic of blenders!! I want this !! Love the look of it!! Would love this on my counter!!
It is a beautiful blender. Thanks for watching.
This demo was great! I like the way you showed the self-cleaning of the Vitamix. I also like the idea about substituting an avocado for a banana in order to get creaminess.
So glad you enjoyed this video and that our substitute tip was helpful to you!!
There are so many things to love about this blender. This is the platform that Vitamix will continue to build on in the future so it's pretty much future-proof.this machine has everything you need and want in a blender. Programmable timer, preset settings, 10-year warranty, beautiful metal finishes, and the list goes on and on. I used to have a Vitamix 6300 and now I am trying to decide between the 750 and the a3500. Lenny from life is noyoke said to do the regret test. If someone sent you one in the mail, before you open it, which one are you going to regret not being in the box. I guess I'm getting the ascent a 3500. Thank you for your videos and I will be getting your smoothie book.
This is definitely a great blender!! You're welcome for the videos and I think you're going to love the book! 😊
Yes i watched lenny on tht video. I have a 5200 tht i think is defective n it doesn't mice the food as shown on utube. It also get hot in 30 second of blending. It only keep cool wen i blend with frozen fruits. I really dnt know which one to choose. Lol. I need help
@@tanshievlogs I suggest you keep doing your research and watching videos. Then just be confident with your decision!
your video demo was fabulous, I loved the fact that you could show that you can substitute one item for another and the first video I have seen that demos the cleaning.
So glad you liked it and found it helpful! The self-cleaning feature is awesome. 😁
Thank you! This shows me how simple this is, as I often get intimidated by new appliances and having to figure them out.
Wow... I'm a newbie to plant based smoothies, stumbled upon your Facebook page, and have fallen in love it!! And have shared it with friends..This is awesome, Love that it's such an easy process, no thought, besides what smoothie you want to make and it does the work for you.. I had the citrus green smoothie today, also loved it! Thanks for sharing!
That is great to hear, welcome to green smoothies! Thanks for sharing with your friends.
Omg this would be so helpful during the summer when I crave smoothies! I can make a green protein smoothie!
The Vitamix blender is a really awesome blender. I know you would love it!
I was recently researching this this Vitamix series. This video was super helpful. I wanted to know if smoothies are smooth not chunky when blending in the 3500 series. Thanks for the helpful video. I love the click secure option on the top, no mess guaranteed. I’m obsessed with Simple Green smoothie recipes. Thank You! Soups and smoothies are key recipes for me. 😀
Yayy!! So glad this video helped you! Be sure to keep checking the blog for new recipes!
I have had 2 Vita Mix ‘s over the years. I am wanting to upgrade and loved how simple you made it look.
We love Vitamix blenders! 😊
It’s a blender. You put stuff in it, and turn it on at the right speed. Don’t let them make you think it’s rocket science.
Lovely demo. I really want this blender. I simply love how it has all the features all built in one machine. Pre programmed settings with self detect And walk away convenience.. that’s awesome
Wow! I really love love love this blender. I love the way once you push it, it does the work on its own. I also love how it is self-cleaning. I have to get one of these for my kitchen. Love love love it
Hey Saunder! This blender is truly awesome. 😍
I love that it senses how much you put in it, and blends as long as needed! Oh, and it would look great under my cabinet 😃
That is really a great feature, it is great that is fits under the cabinets.
It senses the size of the container and adjusts accordingly. Not the contents of the container.
I loved the demo! I am a breast cancer survivor and new Master level health coach/nutritionist. The most helpful part of the video was that I was able to see that I could easily blend nutritious food that both I and, especially my older and sicker clients, could easily absorb. This seems to be the easiest method for people struggling with health problems to make nutritious food. If you are still doing the giveaway project, please count me in. I promise to pass it on by helping others. Thanks!
I absolutely love this blender and it would be amazing to have this blender as part of my kitchen! We make smoothies daily and my nutribullet is not cutting it! I love that you can just walk away and come back to enjoy your smoothie. Best part,no chunks!
Woohooo for no chunks!!!
I love that this blender is powerful enough to get everything done at once and that it doesn't have the super tall container that vitamix is known for lol. Also, you're super educational . with your videos without being boring or biased. 👍🏻👍🏻
This would be an awesome enabler to my green smoothie addition. 😉
Thanks for your kind words and feedback, we try to be educational without being boring or biased. It is great to be able to throw all the ingredients in and blend them all together and have a super creamy smoothie.
I am drawn to your style of presentation: simple sharing of information and demonstration of the product and process without gimmicks. I have subscribed and am joining your week of Simple Smoothies Challenge. I look forward to more of your short-and-sweet videos!
Thank you, Deb
Thanks so much Deb!! I really appreciate that!
You were so thorough and precise I'm excited to receive a new blender for my weight loss needs thank you for your help
Very impressive blender! A blender like this would make smoothies more appealing- no bits of greens left behind and super creamy. Love how easy it is to clean and that it has preselected programs.
The preselected programs and how easy it is to clean are wonderful features.
Love that you can walk away and do your cleanup and when you get back it's all ready! Also, loved the look on your face when the clean feature started slow and wasn't getting the top clean, then it sped up and got the top - phew! 😆😆
The cleaning feature is really nice. Thanks for watching.
Loved the tutorial the mixer made a smooth consistency. I would love one of these. Thank you.
So glad you loved this tutorial! 💚
That blender demo was really helpful.
So glad this video was helpful to you!
Thanks for the demo. The best art is the clear lid so you can see down in the Vitamix while it running.
Yes we love that this model has a clear lid! :-)
Beautiful demonstration of the VitaMix! I would love to have one.
So glad you enjoyed it! They truly are awesome blenders. 😊
Love the low profile and how intuitive it is.
The are two nice features of this blender.
I love the fact that you do your smoothies with water, I used to do them with plant milk, but water always on hand.
Since I am following you I started to do again smoothies, I love them, also raw vegetable juice.. not the same amount of work...
It is nice to use water in the smoothies, it is pretty convenient. Thanks.
Thanks for the demo. Found very helpful. I've forever wanted a Vitamix, but have not been able to afford it. What really got my attention was first off the 10 yr warranty for sure. 2nd was how powerful, quick and easy to use it is. Walking away and not having to stand holding on to it, is also good in my book. Like that it's compact and perfect to have on the counter. Finally the smart series is pretty cool to me ! Have a great week. :)
Glad you enjoyed our demo!
Totally want this! Love that it only took 45 seconds to blend the smoothie
I loved your demo! I am looking for a good blender and this was my first time watching a video! Great job!
Wow! This blender looks like The Jetson´s becoming reality, it´s sooo futuristic!! I just love it!! I have also loved to see the features for the lid - the "click" thing and the fact it comes off and can be used as a small measuring cup which I had never heard about before, no matter how many different demo videos I have seen. Thank you!
You are right is does seem futuristic. The click on the lid is nice because it ensures that you are not going to have a smoothie disaster. Thanks.
What a relief not to worry about the time needed to blend and also the cleaning is an outstanding feature. Greetings from South Africa.❤
Right?! Such an awesome feature!
This is perfect demonstration! Thank you for showing! I want one and I'm gonna get one now! Thanks!
Great review. A Vitamix has been on my wishlist since my friend received on for Christmas.
Thanks for watching!
I loved everything about this blender. Smart blender indeed!!! It is amazing.
Thanks is an all around great blender.
HI!!! thanks for your video because I was confused about all the models out there...but you made a nice demonstration !! very efficient and clear so I decided to get this model!! thanks and happy new year!!
Kale yeah! We are always happy to help people decide which blender is best for them. I think you are going to really LOVE your Vitamix! Happy New Year!
Loved it, great lively presentation.
Ready to blend. Many thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it, Rawkstar!!
I love that it is a powerful blender but small enough to fit under my cupboard. Plus the self cleaning feature. This is the top of the line blender and I would to add it to my kitchen to make countless smoothies and more!
It really is so much more convenient to be able to keep it on the counter since it's a couple inches shorter. Never have to worry about find a spot for this one!
Wow.. this blender looks awesome! It is so cool that it has a smoothie option :) i am currently saving up for a vitamix .. will definitely look into this model!
The preset buttons are really great.
I'd love it. I believe it will help rejuvienate a person--namely me! So looking forward to purchasing one, but unsure if this model is still available. And, of course, I'd like the accessories to go with it, especially the cookbook!
Looks like such an easy blender and so upscale! I love the built in measuring cup! Would love to have one of these since I make a lot of my own food at home due to digestion/gut issues! I also would LOVE to be able to make my own nut butter!!
It really is such a great blender! Yum home made nut butter sounds delicious!!
We were just looking to replace an older Vitamix. Still works great but were looking for an easier cleaning model. Wash mode was our buying point. Will be delivered tomorrow.
Just got one of these and you are one of my first videos to view.
I love this Vitamix A3500 Ascent series! I'm on my road to weight loss and this will definitely help me reach my goal 👍
That's awesome, Karla! We're cheering for you!
Thank you for this blender review. I really like the size of the ascent series vitamix and the self-cleaning feature is extra fantastic. 🙂🙂👍
The jar is a nice size it can hold smoothies for the whole family. We also love the cleaning feature. Thanks for watching.
Wow simply i loved everything about this blender 🙌🏻
It is a great blender. The smoothies are so creamy!
Loved this demo - thank you !
You're very welcome!
I love the smart features that clearly and easy cleaning process.
Clean up is so easy with this blender. Thanks for watching Cris!
Wow! What I love about this blender is the self cleaning feature! As a college student on the go, one less dish I'd have to do would be life saving. I dream of this blender haha!
That clean up is super fast and easy. Thanks for watching.
I got so excited when you walked away to clean. I think my fav part is not having to monitor it or hold the top
Yes, the fact that you can just let it do its thing is seriously the best!
I'm in the market for a blender, and in particular I have been studying which Vitamix to purchase. This video was not only sincere and well done, it was also very informative. After watching this video, I now know exactly which blender to purchase, and I have decided on the brand. It will be a Vitamix. They are pricey but well worth it I think. I am disabled now, and I need all the help I can get!!!! I looks like it can get the job done, as I no longer have any strength in my hands, so just pushing a button sounds great to me!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and educating me. Much appreciated!!
Barbara
Thanks so much for your comment Barbara! So glad I could help!
I really appreciate how simple these smoothies look to make. It can be overwhelming trying to change your diet. The Vitamix looks fabulous because of the no-chunks-in-your-smoothie "feature." And how it starts the cleaning process for you! :O What! Thanks for putting on this giveaway!
You're welcome, there is definitely no chunks in this smoothie with this Vitamix. Thanks for watching.
Besides the fact that it's a powerhouse of a blender, I love that it easily fits on a counter!!! I wouldn't have to struggle with pulling it out from under my counter and around all the pots and pans that I use on a daily basis.
Yes, this compact version makes it so much more convenient!
Just love Vitamix, it’s features are amazing! I wish to have one.
Vitamix blenders are awesome for sure!
I love how easy the clean up is. Always being on the go makes it a little difficult to clean the blender after using one. So what happens when you leave a blender full of the left overs?? It would be a pain to clean up. So I am very impressed with that. I also loved how smooth the smoothie came out.
Thank you for sharing Bernadette!
Your presentation was awesome .Good information. I know this one is for me. I would purchase the additional items. Thank You.
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Thanks. Just bought one
Don't know how to use. Need the accessories.
I just got the A3300 and LOVE IT! Same as the A3500 but it doesn’t have the program settings. Wish I bought one years ago.
Sooo happy to hear that you love your new blender! My Vitamix is my absolute favorite kitchen gadget. :-)
I want this blender so much! I just gave up a 42 year addiction to Pepsi and want to be healthy. This video was great, simple and to the point. Nice work!
The demo was helpful. Thank you so much
That self cleaning feature was AMAZING!
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful. 😊
@@dwatson6839 Agreed! I love this feature so much. 🙌
I love the cutting edge technology with this blender. I make smoothie packs ahead of time and it would be nice not to chew the smoothies. You can’t go wrong with a brand that’s been around for years and is known for quality. Awesome video!
Yes, a chewy smoothie does not sound very appetizing.
hi great video...i am thinking of getting this blender...just doing my research on it....leaning very heavily on this item.....thx
This is personally my favorite blender! You can't go wrong with a Vitamix!!
Will my vitamix work if i accidently foget to turn it off and lift it up
whilst blending? I did this to a cheaper blender by accident and it
broke it due to the blades.
I'm sold. I couldn't decide between the A3300 or A3500.
Thank you.
You are very generous to offer a vitamin, you will be helping someone to get into smoothies it can change their life, my blender change my life 10 years ago.
I have a very good blender but the Vitamin is my dream blender may be one day. Good luck to every one.
Thanks, it is a fantastic blender, and we are excited to be able to give one away.
Great demo. I have a couple questions; (1) why would we need a separate size blender container dedicated to "dry grind", won't the 64 oz. Blender container work just as well? (2) what does the "aer" bladed disk blender container do that standard 64 oz blender container cant do?
Thanks, Jeffrey!
Vitamix makes a few sizes of their Dry Grains Container and they have specially designed blades that grind whole grains into fresh flours, mix batter, and simulate the kneading process to easily prepare dough for baking. So I think it's less about the size of the container and more about the type of blades.
The Aer Disc Container allows you to whip, emulsify, muddle, and foam because the container has a special Aer disc that is much different than the blades in a standard container.
Loved the video and in fact just purchased the same one on Amazon. Can't wait to try a few recipes, especially smoothies so that we can begin to eat healthier.
So glad you loved the video! Let me know how they turn out when you get a chance to try them!
Love the dishwasher feature!! Wow!!
What I like about this video is that It shows how easy and simple it is to use the Vitamix a3500. In regards of the Vitamix a3500 itself, I like very much that it has the five preset programs and how it blends and infuses.
Yes, us too! We love everything about Vitamix and how it blends our smoothies perfectly!
The cleaning feature was most important to me I just want to know if this Vitamix is equipped for soups, ice cream I’ve been researching on which Vitamix would be best for me and this 1 so far has me excited for my needs as well as for my senior parents 😊
Yolanda, I don't want to get carried away but this blender can do EVERYTHING!! Well, not literally everything but you get the point. With it, you can make smoothies, soups, dressings, ice creams/sorbets, nut milks and more. And the cleaning feature is a godsend!
I've had an Oster Versa Pro for 7 years. Love it. But I can see that the Vitamix so SOOO much better! I want one!
this is a great review, great job. I bought 3 of these because of this review.
Awesome! 🙂
Its awesome that you can self clean like that.. technically you could manually do it with the others.. but its nice to have a pre-set
I've been looking for a vitmix, but with so many to chose from it can be difficult, when I seen this one I've been trying to decide and this one is it for all my meals. I got the shock of my life in 2020 and was diagnosed with CF at 51 kind of a bummer but im trying to bounce back after getting put on all kinds of meds my bills sky rocketed had to give up my job of 17yrs so its been tough to save up. I have to chose to eat better and get more exercise to my daily life. I had no idea eating like my life depended on it could be a challenge so this will make my life easier no doubt about it. For now it will take a little longer but this is what I want and will get eventually. Thanks for sharing!
Put in the water or liquid first. Very helpful video.........thank you. My wife loves her Vitamix.
Kale yeah! 😊
I meaaan its a vitamix! lol Being that I like to make things from scratch, I want one SO bad! All the smoothies, nut butters, ice creams , soups and such i can think of! What I loved the most about this vitamix is how easy the whole process is!!! Watching a newbie operate it was very helpful. Blend walk way clean. Simple. It’s a dream 💜
Vitamix really does make the whole process easy. Thanks Khalee.
Ooooooh the simplicity of the clean up just Blew me away!!!! LOL!!! I also love the way it smooths & texturizes the fruit. The 1 I currently have now I have to stop it. stir it with a spoon, REPEAT. So nerve wrecking. This bad boy would add soooooooo much joy to my life.
The clean up option really is the best feature!
I see that!
I have this blender and its absolutely fantastic we use it daily.
This blender really is amazing!
I like this blender because it fits under the cabinet. I love how smooth everything blended together. My nutribullet just died so I am in the market for a new blender.
Having the blender fit under the cupboard is really important. This is a great blender.
I think almost all of the (updated) vitamix blenders come with a low Container now ;)
Love this presentation. I'm buying this model.
You're going to love it!! 😊
I have a lot of texture issues with food and I hate bits like berry seeds and not-quite blended bits of banana in smoothies, and I recently discovered the Vitamix brand which is said to blend and pulverise them so well that there are barely any bits left including those dang seeds! So definitely looking at investing in one!
It definitely gets it nice and blended, that's for sure!
Thank you sooo much!!!😍😍😍 You really help me with my new vitamix!!🥰😍
Might be time to upgrade my Vitamix. Thanks for the video.
I love the features on this blender! Would love to have a blender that fits under the counter too!
Thanks for watching the video, this blender really does have some great features.
Question on the smoothie ingredients...when measuring the frozen mango and pineapple (strawberries too), are you measuring by volume or weight? Thanks.
By volume, you can use a measuring cup if you like.
