  • I'm obsessed with my Vitamix blender! So today I'm comparing several Vitamix models - the Explorian E310, Professional Series 750 and Ascent A3500 - and giving you my review and tips on each one. I'm also sharing some must-have accessories.
    I purchased my first Vitamix nearly 8 years ago, long before I ever became a food blogger or TH-camr. And while I'm thrilled to be able to partner with Vitamix on today's video, my love for Vitamix is truly genuine because that first blender transformed my healthy eating, lifestyle and approach to food.
    Today, I have tons of Vitamix recipes here on my TH-cam channel (check out my playlist) and I have even more recipes over on my website. From smoothies, to soups, frozen yogurts, pestos, hummus, nut milks, nut butters and more. You really can't go wrong with any Vitamix blender, so choose the best Vitamix for you!

    Hi friends! Who has a Vitamix on their wishlist? You know I LOVE my Vitamix and use it daily in my kitchen. So with the holidays right around the corner I thought I'd answer some of your questions on which Vitamix blender you should buy. And I'm tossing in ALL the accessories. ;) I hope you find the video helpful and if you have any questions, let me know! xo - Lisa

      Problem is parts availability. My 3600 lasted 20 years, replaced the blade assembly once and the brushes 3-4 times. Blade assembly broke again and part was no longer available. Suspect the same problem here as new models arise. It seemed a shame to toss it as the motor ran fine.

      Ours lasted one week before it completely stopped working! When we contacted them we had to ship it back and they refurbished it instead of sending a new one, and when we got it back a month and a half later it was all scratched and damaged on the outside! Now debating getting a new one- this video was really helpful!

Perhaps you are confusing my older model with some newer ones? Too late regardless. Be great if the newer ones were built as well as the oldies, or a new product line, "Vitamix Vintage."

I told my dog it is what I want for Christmas and I left my lap top out a few times, so I suspect he might have been online making it happen for me.

      I think vitamix do some reconditioned models on their website which could help cost down. I really want to invest in the vitamix , we use our cheaper blender at least once if not several times a day 365 days a year. My conscience would be better having a vitamix as the amount in my lifetime from blenders going to landfil would be tiny . Also the texture of the what it makes is amazing- restaurant quality. Can make anything frozen too. Normal blenders there is risk of breaking if put too much frozen in. Also the rate I get through normal blenders it would be cheaper over all to get vitamix

    Great website! Ive been looking forward to trying some of your recipes. I went with the E310. Its amazing. Like having a Jamba Juice at home, on demand. I prefer the lack of "features" personally - Its very industrial! And the smaller vessel size is perfect for 1‐2 people, both in terms of portions and ease of clean up. I'm a bachelor, so the easier the cleaning, the happier I am 😆

  • @retrodog63
    @retrodog63 5 ปีที่แล้ว +17

    I have a Super 5000 that I bought 12 years ago. Light use for all those years. I recently tried to make almond butter with it, following all the directions, and the motor shut down three times, I guess from overheating. I finally gave up and used the Cuisinart food processor, which handled it easily, getting only slightly warm. I'm now using the Vitamix exclusively for wet chopping of vegetables for dehydrating. I'd be more interested in some of the accessories if they weren't so ungodly expensive for what you're getting. I don't mind spending money, but $100 is a bit aggressive for a container. I get the whole "quality" thing, but it still seems like they are overcharging for something that is just an accessory.

    • @lul2thec
      @lul2thec 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Vitamix are the best! I use it for EVERYTHING! My family bought our first Vitamix 12 years ago and we bought a second one with a regular container and a dry container about 5 years ago. Being Mexican it comes in handy having different containers since we only make salsas in the older container just in case someone doesn't wash it correctly. This avoids us accidentally getting spicy cashew milk.

I had to leave it on for 5 minutes to get an okay blend then I had to use a strainer before marinating the meat. I’m over it, I’m just trying to find the perfect one.

      @vebdc 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      ​@@tallnubian Hi tallnubian. I have used the Vitamix A3500 for two types of hummus (following Lisa's recipes) and for several types of soup. I definitely prefer the Vitamix to my blender or food processors. With the A3500 I have more options for speed and control over intensity. I have no doubt in the blades and am not worried about putting either hot or cold items in the Vitamix. The different speeds help the food move around more smoothly and so I spend a lot less time trying to extract food from under the blades like I do with my blender and food processor.)
      My favorite option right now is the cleaning. You just put in a bit of water and dish soap and there's a specific button for cleaning. It takes less than a minute and does a great job of sending the soapy water into every part of the container. Then just rinse and dry! (No need to take it all apart and wash the individual pieces separately.
      I'm excited to make almond milk (again using Lisa's recipe) and ginger banana smoothies for Thanksgiving.

    A cheap food processor will do for salsa, pesto. etc. Really, you could do it pretty easily with a chopping knife or a mortar & pestle. A Vitamix is only worth it for something you want absolutely smooth, like cream soup, nut butters or ice cream or nut milk (nut butter with a lot of water added).

Still works brilliantly and never been any issues or problems with it. Jar is a bit stained now, but motor still runs like a dream. Edit: Don't freak out at $800 - everything is expensive in Oz, as have to import from USA.

Any one else experience this with their vita mixers??? We just got our replacement vita mix and a little worried of running into the same problems.

The only reason I got this one over the 750 is I wanted to use smaller containers for dressings and salsas. (Sold separately lol). Hope this helps. They do last!

    I bought a blender a few years ago (it was $80 or something) and everyone at home is using it. It's great for smoothies and soups, but it can't blend frozen fruits or making nut butter.

    after years of balking at them due to price, and going through several cheaper blenders, i bought an ascent series and i have been completely blown away by this thing. it will pulverize anything we put in it. smoothies and shakes no longer have unblended bits and pieces of food at the bottom. its crazy how it can get every scrap of food completely blended. i eat 3/4 cup of plain oatmeal as a part of a pre-workout carb load every day and I was just cooking it and eating it plain....i don't mind since i like oatmeal, but its a wee bit taxing getting it all down. today i got the idea to try blending it in the protein i also take. 1 cup of water, a scoop of my protein and the 3/4 cup of oatmeal, blended it for about 20 seconds and there wasn't a single oat left. down the pipe in a matter of seconds and it tasted great.... i love this thing.

Vitamix replied to me with this comment "We apologize for the difficulty you’re having connecting your Galaxy smartphone to your Vitamix blender. Unfortunately, there is a hardware incompatibility between newer Samsung products and Vitamix Smart Series blenders that prevents the two from connecting. While we continue to look into the issue, we do not have a solution to offer." Sriously...where's my warning before buying!

I mention this because it is so different from the normal Vitamix, and you should review it. The model 3 has a 3 horsepower motor and virtually never needs the tamper because it's so powerful and fast you just turn it on and it blends anything. I love it!
