I also own a A3500. I bought it for many of reasons you mentioned. 1. 10 year warranty. 2. The blender is part of a system. 3. The blender blade uses the power of the base to blend, it's NOT a sharp blade. Long term you don't have to worry about the blade losing its edge. I like to buy things once! I bought this blender for the company's reputation (Just an FYI, in this day and age it's great to be able to call a company directly and speak to a company representative), the motor, warranty, and add-ons.
Good point on the blades, I’m glad they will last a long time. I’m just relieved about the warranty after other brands have broke on me. Good to know about the service centre being helpful 👍🏽
The A3500 is the US version, A3500i is the European version that we have in Australia, it stands for international. They are both the same but the A3500i has some additional safety features from what I’ve read, like only allowing the blender to start when the lid if closed, due to European regulations. Also the food processor attachment only works for US models not here, which is a shame.
@@hemalmistry Thank you for your reply. It does connect with bluetooth via their app on a smart phone. There are videos on youtube that show this for the ascent series of blenders. However, I don't know if it emits bluetooth constantly.
Ah yes so they do, it’s strange how they don’t promote it for this model but they do for the 2500, perhaps it wasn’t that popular. Im not sure whether it constantly emits Bluetooth.
Is there any update about food processor availability for this model A3500i in 2024 or any idea for later availability..? Technically This blender is 1200+ watts. USA version it is 3000+ watts. But food processor is takes lesser watts than Australian / UK version So why it is still not working or why they r not launching still for Uk / Australian versions.. I’m wondering.. If somebody does plz give update on this.. thank u Pretty good info video 👍🏻
Yeah it’s a more premium blender but also extremely well built with a long warranty period so it’ll last for years. I’ve had to replace top of the line ninja blenders twice in the past, hence why I bought this one. Also it seems to blend so much better than others I’ve used.

What is the difference between A3500 and A3500i I'm from Australia
The A3500 is the US version, A3500i is the European version that we have in Australia, it stands for international. They are both the same but the A3500i has some additional safety features from what I’ve read, like only allowing the blender to start when the lid if closed, due to European regulations.

Thank you
Does the blender emit bluetooth all the time or only when the app is being used?
I checked on the vitamix site, this model doesn’t seem to have Bluetooth.

Yeah that would be good to know, I’d get it if it was available here. Thank you 🙏🏽
What’s so special about the vitamin blenders over all? It seems like it’s the “Mercedes” of blenders 🤷🏽♂️
