Material does collect around and behind the rubber seal on that lid and must be rinsed. Do you know if the Rubber lid from the 750 would fit this container? :)
Yes, it could cause mold if not cleaned I think. I prefer the old lids for that reason. One less thing to worry about cleaning, breaking, or replacing. I dont think the old lid fits. I have the 750.
Hey guys! Here's a quick look at us unboxing the Vitamix Ascent Series A2500. Hope you enjoy. Looking forward to showing it off more soon. What would you like to see us make in it?
hi, i have a question, when you power on the ascent a2500, does your display read “140” before going to “0:00” or “- - -“. mine does that and i called vitamix to ask what that means and after a 3-week wait for a reply they said they want to set up a repair but I have no issues with it, just wanted to know what that meant... thanks!! great video!
Hey! Yeah, I'm not sure exactly what that is. Sorry about the wait -- usually they're pretty quick to setup repair. If it's not bugging you, I'd say let it be. We haven't seen anything like that on ours. :) -Lenny
I have the exact same blender and I love it. I have a few concerns. Why does the blender jar have so many grooves and corners? I feel like when I blend smoothies, sauces, or chutneys there is some wastage because the mixture will be stuck on the grooves and/or jar. Is there a way to get around this? In addition, when switch up to speed 10 I notice there is a slight smell from the motor? Am I doing something wrong?
That's perfectly normal with new machines. If not, you might be overprocessing a thick blend, in which case you should give it a rest before using again. (Note: it'll shut down before it overheats, so no need to worry about an explosion). The grooves are help create the best possible "vortex" for blending. If you're having trouble, consider grabbing the under blade scraper, it's a lifesaver. Video link below :) ua-cam.com/video/jbpisQqEghk/v-deo.html
Little correction, Lenny: Checking out any Vitamix via PayPal requires that PayPal takes a look at your credit score before extending you a minimum $250 beginning credit line, which you can use to pay for the machine itself. Only problem is that the A2500's base price is... $400? I wish that Vitamix would bring back *their* 3-5 payment plan option. Now, *that* didn't require a credit check or score. It was how I was able to get my first Vitamix, a Reconditioned S30 at the beginning of last year. I adored that little thing before I passed it to a new generation. Looking forward to more videos from you and also looking forward to the return of Vitamix's payment plan option, whenever it does make it's return.
Been really wanting to get the Ascent 2300, but keep finding reviews that the 64 oz low profile container just doesn't do well for 1-2 people, and I would primarily be using it for myself. Can't decide to just get the 5200 but the newer ascent models are so beautiful.
The only challenge to 64 oz low profile containers for individuals is when making thick blends (nut butters, hummus, and ice cream). The challenge is not *can* you do those thick blends. The challenge is making a batch sufficiently large enough. To make nut butters in a low profile 64 oz container, for example, requires 4 cups of nut butters. But for smoothies, juices, etc, there's no concern for individuals wanting to make a 64 oz container work for them.
Do you know if they plan on adding a dry grains container to the ascent series in the future? Trying to decide between a pro 750 or an ascent. Any suggestions? Thanks. Mark E.
Pretty sure they'll have a Dry Grains container for Ascent somewhere down the line. If it's your first Vitamix, I'd get an Ascent. Thanks. -LG ua-cam.com/video/xYZ4zX7j6bo/v-deo.html
When I turn on my vitamix a2500 the container moves a little to the right.. The conrainer doesn't seem to sit snug or lock into place on the base, is this normal?
A tiny bit of movement is normal. A degree or two. But it it doesn't lock into place, per se. You could send us a short video of what you're seeing. But I've heard many people say something similar and what they're seeing is totally normal. Just unexpected if you have experience with a Ninja or Nutribullet.
Oh okay. I did look at the customer service page on the website and it does say that it is normal. Other than that I love my a2500! Best money I have spent in a while, and it looks so beautiful on my counter top.

Hi guys! Thanks so much for this review! This was so great and has helped me to decide which blender version to go for. I'm the end i decided that since i like full control that the A2300 would be best. Also i prefer the tactile, retro switches (eels more durable to me) than the easy wipe touch screen. I'm hoping you an answer my questions or maybe do another review 'how to': My question is: How do you make hot soups? How do you make say almond flour from it? How do i make use of your promo (I live in Munich, Germany). How do I buy this the S2300 in Europe? (My dad is currently visiting the States and could get it for me if they can not ship US items to mainland Europe) I look forward to hearing from you guys and I hope you can help.
Hi Paula, Great pick with the A2300. For international, your best bet is to call Vitamix. 1-800-848-2649. You can give them our promo code. Here's something similar to hot soup: ua-cam.com/video/Voz_FgPEPAs/v-deo.html Thanks!
I am totally blind, hence picking up on the colour description of the box being grey then brown. I love my Ascent 2500i. Have some of the accessories too. Can we support your business outside the USA? I am in Australia.
Life is NOYOKE Yes, the only disadvantage is the file size and processing loads on your computer but if you are just downscaling to 1080p it shouldn't be that bad. We have a 3500a coming in along with the scale. We have one Vitamix that's 13 years old. Can't wait.

Your kitchen is lovely. I love the older vitamix. I haven't had a chance to play with the ascend yet.
Thanks! We're moving home (to MN) soon, if you know any lovely kitchens for rent there. :)
Thanks for sharing. Just bought one.
I finally got me one of these! It’ll be home on Monday. I cannot wait to place it in its main spot. Green Juice for everyone!
Dude I’m sorry I didn’t use any of your promo codes.

Great unboxing & review! There's so many great models, it's making my decision difficult. Thank you for these reviews.
I feel ya. Have you watched this vid we just published? ua-cam.com/video/xYZ4zX7j6bo/v-deo.html
Just pulled the trigger on the A2300 - Slate, and used your code. Thank you!
Johno! Than you! Email us and we'll send you over some goodies: lifeisnoyoke.com/vitamix-new-owner-stuff/
it seems the container wobbles a little on the base. Why doesn’t it lock in?
Just got mine today. Love it
Hey thinking of investing, do you still love it?
Nice review! Did you have any problems with this blender?
Hi from the UK . Look forward to seeing you guys use this model and blending some produce.
Hi Phill! Hi UK! :)
Hi just wanted to let your video reaaly help me decide wich one to buy. I love you videos thanks
Just bought mine!

@@LINY Thank you.
good stuff bro. congrats on 2k subs. Getting ready for shabbos dinner. Will be making your queso dip as a side. Good Shabbos and cheers to you both.
Yes! We may or may not be throwing around the idea of jarring our queso for sale at the farmer's market. :) Good Shabbos.
Just got my 2500
The metal gear seems a little loose and it arrived with 2 scratches
Is the loose gear normal?

Thanks for the heads up, Joseph. Appreciate it. Will probably need to update my payment plan post, eh: lifeisnoyoke.com/vitamix-payment-plans/
I have a question are there Vitamix suitable for Europe voltage? Because I know in US it is different.
You can purchase in the UK and I believe that will be configured for Europe voltage. This link will get you free shipping on your order bit.ly/2wlHDuy

So does the Ascent series have a heating setting for hot soup?
Is Lenny colour blind?

Record in 4k then you can zoom in without quality loss.
Definitely something to consider. Do you have any experience with recording in 4k? More relevant, do you have a Vitamix?
Life is NOYOKE Yes, the only disadvantage is the file size and processing loads on your computer but if you are just downscaling to 1080p it shouldn't be that bad.
We have a 3500a coming in along with the scale. We have one Vitamix that's 13 years old. Can't wait.
Nice! Where did you get it? Which color A3500 did you buy?
Life is NOYOKE We got it from the state fair and stainless steel. Looks nice.
