Thank you for the video, this answered all our questions. We were going to buy a refurbished a3500 for around $500 which is around the price of the 7500 brand new. Visited our local discount store and found the 7500 for $340. Had to run out to the car and do some quick research to see which is better for us. Of course the bells and whistles are great but knowing the motor is the same and watching your test, our decision was easy. We are now the owners of a 7500 vitamix. A few years ago we bought the Nija Ultima and unfortunately broke after the warranty expired. No matter what others have said, a Ninja blender is no where on the level of a vitamix. Thanks again for your help in making our purchase so easy. Hope others have found your video extremely helpful.
I'm happy that my efforts are helping others! I used to get frustrated myself because there were too many models to pick from but after all this time, it really comes down to which one you can snatch up for your budget. The ascent ones are nice but for the basics, any model will do the job perfectly. 👍
I upgrade from a Creations Elite/7500 to A3500 after 9 years. The only reason I upgraded is I wanted the food processing add-on that only works correctly with self-detect Vitamix bases. Honestly, if you don't need/want the food processor accessory the legacy series blenders are great! But this review is supper helpful and your conclusion of which bells and whistles you want is spot on!
You really should have all this planned out before you start your video. Weigh out water, have it ready etc. this way we are not bored out of our skulls watching water lol 😂
I can’t read the temp readings on the thermometer. He should call them out. Still don’t understand the point of just mixing water. Remember a test like this with eggbeaters instead of a blender. Something like a tenth of degree temp rise after several min of cranking an eggbeater. Of course these blenders did better-friction heating.
Can you please make a video on how the A3500 preforms on the lowest settings #1? I would like to see if the A3500 has a tornado like the 5200 or not. when putting it on #1, does it sucks the lipid down or splashes it all over? That's my question. I have been searching for a video like that , but I can't find one. It seems that every one is testing it on the highest settings.
Probably too late now...but from what I understand it doesn't have the tornado like the 5200 because the base is too wide. It is what people are complaining about. Makes you have to use the tamper a lot.
@@shellic5166 I used to love the tornado on the 5200. I would put my protein powder while it's turned on the first settings (1). It doesn't splash any of the liquid I put in. As long as I turn it on first then insert the protein powder second. I would see the protein powder getting pulled and mixed with out splashing every where inside the blender, plus you don't get the foam of the protein powder. However, if I put my liquid and protein powder first into the blender then turn it on, I would see some splash but not as bad as the A3500. With the A3500, do to its wide base container, anything I do makes my drink foamy and the flavor horrible do to it's foam. If Vitamix want to make smart blenders. They can remodel the 5200 by making the base smart, but keep the container the same. That's my opinion.
@@georgew7405 I agree...I am not too happy with the container. I am keeping my old one and hoping it works. I think the wider base is great for chopping....but for smoothies, I am not so thrilled about. I wish they would change this. I don't want to have to buy a different container on top of the price. Wish they listened to people and maybe even gave the option to customers of the wide or tall container.
I use a reconditioned Venturist 1200 these days, but all Vitamix machines perform the same as far as results. The differences are only superficial like control schemes, accessories, warranty, and minor sound proofing of the motor. I like knobs and switches for the touchy-feely sense of control, so I went with the Venturist.
Not really much difference between the two. The biggest louder machines would be a C series like the 5200, the explorian, and the venturist. However, power blenders are all loud so it's really more of a nitpick because it depends on a few more factors than just the motor
@@vitabox8375 good review. I had a vitamix 5200 but I sold it due to the heat wen I blend in 30 seconds the liquid gets very hot. N it did crush out the fruits as shown on the infomercials. I sold it. But I kept the 2 sml wet n dry container. Wat other vitamux u think I can buy?
@@tanshievlogs they all work the same. I have almost every generation. They all spin fast to heat anything you mix in it. For cold drinks, blend with cold/frozen ingredients. For example, if I have fresh apple and banana at room temperature, I add some ice to keep it nice and cold after a minute or so of blend time at high speed. Go to any smoothie shop and you'll see them add ice to anything they sell.

@@georgew7405 Yes the 750 pro beats it hands down,my first choice was the 5200 but a few videos here on youtube prove that the wide bottom jar is better the rest is basically the same(base)
Test begins at 11:00
results at 18 min... why do u wanna watch a guy for 7 mins just blending and scanning doing nothing
Thabks

Spot on!
Awesome! I really appreciate your scientific approach.
I really appreciate your feedback! Thank you! 🤗🤗
I have a old creation so I’m going to upgrade to the A3500❤❤❤ Thank you so much for this appreciate you.😊😊

The point is that they do the same job

The differences in controls thev3500 is digital-other machine has analog controls.
Right

Speed one is for slow mixing. Nothing much to dive into.

So the 3500 container will work on both motor bases but the 750 won't? If so, why is that?
The newer container uses RFID technology. The previous one doesn't so the new machine can't "see" to operate.
Well what blender do you use???

I just purchased the Pro 750 recon this morning.
That's great! You'll love what you can do with it!
Are one of them quiter than the other?

Why are we just watching water, how about trying an apple or something? Ugh boring

Meaningless test. Who heats water with a blender? Grind something!

Speed 1 is just for slow mixing bot really anything to dive deep about
Both of those have different shaped jars,the result therefore will be different,
there are videos here on youtube that proves that.
@@stogies3 nothing beats the 5200.
