Thanks to you Henry, you encouraged me to take the leap and get this model. Im coming from an Oster brand blender. The difference is night and day. With the Oster I was chewing my smoothies. Thanks to the Vitamix I now know what a silky smooth blended drink is. Today is day two of ownership and Im so mentally over whelmed with all the recipes and possibilities that this machine can create. I suppose with how long I've heard other people's Vitamixes lasting, I have a life time to try each recipe. For anyone on the fence about the Ascent series, GO FOR IT! This Vitamix line is super sexy on any counter top. 👌😀

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Hey you guys! Welcome to Blending with Henry for 2017! Fasten your seat belts! It's gonna be a great year! Starting off with the new Vitamix Ascent Series A3500 review!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

My Promo code never changes. 😊

[@mrsengerman]

Blending With Henry is this series better than the 780

[@jb6075]

Bought this a few weeks ago with your code for free shipping (yay!). LOVE this machine. I use it everyday (more on the weekends). Soups, smoothies, peanut butter, hummus, and chocolate fondue so far. All easy to do with a push of a button. Can't believe I talked myself out of one a few years ago.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Right on Jennifer! Thank you so much for supporting me. You're helping me to move forward with more recipes on my website and video content for my viewers/customers! You bought the latest and greatest Vitamix! Happy to hear you're loving it!!!

[@matsteel2292]

We just got our new 3500i this week and love it! We would have purchased through you Henry but we are in Australia, Love your channel though.

[@ShoshiPlatypus]

I am now the proud owner of an A3500. I originally purchased the A2500 and after a few days it developed an electrical fault so I returned it to Amazon and got a refund. When I first got it, I had a twinge of regret that I hadn’t invested a bit more and got the top of the range one. I went ahead and ordered it from Vitamix UK and it was here in a couple of days - I couldn’t believe how fast it came! I absolutely love it and am so glad I’ve got the A3500 after all. I’m loving your videos, Henry! There’s nothing like a good dose of enthusiasm to start anyone’s day! I’ve never made a smoothie bowl and am keen to try it. I make a lot of soup and although my old (other make) high speed blender which broke down did make lovely smooth soups I think this is going to be a lot better. This machine just shouts quality. I thought my original blender was pretty good but the Vitamix leaves it in the shade.

[@AmyiReport]

Henry, love your Expression series video! Especially you moved it to outdoor, it's very refreshing! I'm glad that you got a chance to visit Vitamix office, I wish I could visit one day. ~Love, Amy

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Thank U Amy as always for your support! I had a blast doing the video and it was a great trip to the Vitamix headquarters. 😊

Thank you so much Patty! I truly appreciate you supporting Blending with Henry. Your purchase definitely helps to provide financial support for more videos and new recipes! 😍

[@TitanWar93]

it's great to see you with the Ascent series. From what I'm seeing so far we're just getting the full 64 oz container, the to go cup and the little bowl. Will Vitamix make an Ascent version of the 32 oz container?

[@CRNeal]

Great question. That could be the deciding factor to invest in this series or go with the legacy series.

[@gwen8718]

Oh Henry! You are my favorite! Wonderful video! Loving the high quality of this video!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Thank U Gwen! I had a blast creating it!

[@malazkm]

henry. thank you so much for doing these videos. you are the main reason why i bough a 750 pro. i will be saving for the new one for sure. much love and thank you so much!!

[@starwarsfanforlife]

We just got this A3500 at the State Fair here in California and it came with the Perfect Scale...it is great to use since the A3500 works awesome with the scale.

[@youmongrel]

Is the new container backwards-compatible? You showed the new blender can't use the old container, but not the other way around.

[@Albertojedi]

Hello. Excellent presentation. Is there a benefit of setting the timer and speed instead of using the smoothie preset ?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Yes, absolutely. The smoothie preset is simply a preset timer. Presets have no idea what you're actually blending so they are not catered to a specific recipe. So for example if you created your own smoothie recipe that took only 25 seconds to blend then the smoothie preset at 40 seconds would over-blend your smoothie. Setting your own time is beneficial as you can set it for 25 seconds each time and forget it.

[@Albertojedi]

@@BlendingWithHenry Makes sense. Thanks!

[@chavitavb]

I can't believe I missed this on my subs! Thanks so much for this awesome review :D

this is so pure omg

[@rexoliver7780]

Have the "Fire Engine" Red 3500 I ordered thru VM.If I need any more containers and other parts will order thru you.Funky thing--the Ascent jars will fit the "Quiet One" machine and work!!You have to take the sound hood off the Quiet One for the 64 oz jar to fit.The 48 Oz fits with the hood on.BUT-the Quiet One "gull wing" "Advance" jars won't fit the Ascent-and the Advance jars don't have the chip for the Ascent either.Just fun fact.The Ascent and Quiet One get frequent use with me-both a favorite Vita-Mixers!The Ascent clear "hat" reminds me of the clamp transparent lids for the older VM blenders-Have some in my collection that used the Forward-Reverse switches.Those are fun to use,too!The all SS "monoliths" keep my eyes open at yard sales and thrift stores for those.

[@smalltownsmoker4331]

Just discovered your page, I'm so excited to order my new ascent blender, I'm looking for some containers for blend prep during the week, any recommendations?

[@saamsadeghi]

When on cleaning mode did your vitamin rock around a little bit? I was scared it might jump off the base. Also when it was done cleaning there was some leaking on the bottom of the pitcher but then again I might have put too much soap and as it was rocking around that could have caused it.

[@Omnigodz78]

Man I need one bad...Henry! can I have yours after you finish blending you fruit smoothie. Please!!!

[@dandm20]

Henry this is the first video I watch of yours and you're so bomb. Thank you

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Thank U so much. I truly appreciate you!!! 😍

[@djmocok]

I would assume the 'older' model is as good as this as well (only difference mainly in the external and new lid)?

[@kupua]

So if you're in the market for a new machine, is this Ascent series better then the 7500? pro's / con's of both machines please

[@samuelleanos]

how is the sound compared to the 750 and 5300?

[@TashaDivine]

So can I clarify, those new cups coming out, are they compatible with the 5200 or only the ascent? I really want to upgrade soon.

[@tintessa1964]

Could you do video on making shakes in this blender with the accessory cups that are purchased separately. I cannot find any videos on making shakes with this blender with more details.

[@BostonBorn]

Henry, do you need a separate dry container for this model for making flour? Can you demonstrate rice flour, peanut butter and ice crushing? I'm thinking of picking this up but, want to make sure it does it all. Thanks in advance.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

For occasional needs to make flour, you can use the included 64oz container. Right now there isn't currently a dedicated dry container for the Ascent.

[@shalahcarolshaffron7299]

Does this blender make nut butters and grind grains? or do you have to use a different container like the older models

[@trangnguyen7460]

Same question

[@crumbreth5595]

Yes and no

[@cranzenann]

Looks so yummy, thanks for the idea. I wonder can you use the blender to make marinara sauce?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Absolutely! The Vitamix is the most used blender by chefs in high-end restaurants. They used them for making creamy sauces such as marinara. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@khoaiii]

the 20oz adapter for the accent looks nice like the personal blender. unfortunately the adapter for the pro 750 looks terrible with that cup design.

[@j.e.7028]

Looks delicious and healthy

Finally bought it!! Have been waiting for this review for a while now! I just purchased it and I love it just hope they bring out a dry container.

Hello Henry, I just got my Ascent Series A3500 today and wanted to make sure that the Perfect Blend Smart Scale will work with this model. Can you answer…I saw your video on it’s usage for another Vitamix model and would love to use it with the 3500 series. Thanks for your help!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Hi DaNice. Congrats on the A3500 purchase! You're going to love it. The Smart Scale has been discontinued however.

[@daniecemoody5523]

@@BlendingWithHenry Thanks so much for responding. Yes, I know that it has been discontinued, but it is still available on amazon…just wondering if it works with the A3500? So excited about your recipes and did buy the book you recommended.

[@jorgeisme]

Hi Henry. 5 years down the road is the a3500 still going strong more especially the touch controls? I really want to buy the a3500 but worried that the touch controls may not last for over 10 years. I've read testimonies of people who claim to have had their machines for like 20 years and I don't know if the a3500 will be able to last that long with the non-manual controls. So I am torn between buying the a3500 versus the v1200. You honest response will be of great help.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Hi George! I have been demonstrating the A3500 on many of my videos. Not once have the touch controls failed me. Also the fact that Vitamix gives a 10 year warranty on the Ascent machines (brand new) (5 years warranty on reconditioned models) shows they stand behind their product. If the A3500 wasn't reliable for long-term ownership Vitamix would never include a 10 year warranty.

[@jorgeisme]

@@BlendingWithHenry Thanks for the response.

[@cozyteascones8978]

Is this slightly quieter like the next generation Vitamix? I have not seen anything that mentions this.

[@chavitavb]

Hey Henry, are you reviewing the Vitamix personal cup blending adapter for the G and C series blenders? I want to buy one, but before I do I really want your insight and demo about it.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

I don't have one as of yet, but I most certainly will try to create a way to showcase it. 🙂

[@fleur5869]

Wanted to know if it is the blender that heats the soup or put the hot liquid to blend?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

The Vitamix actually heats the soup by way of friction from the spinning blades. They are designed in a way that makes this happen. It takes about 5 minutes from cold liquid. I tend to use hot liquid so the soup is created quicker.

[@Dotty4109]

Thank you Henry, Your the best!

[@sdushdiu]

Is the new carafe style compatible with older model bases?

[@sheriefatalla7391]

[@jo-chikuo6104]

Henry, I have watched lots of your videos because I am in the hunt for a great blender. My current single serve blender doesn't make smooth " Green Smoothie", always chunky and have to spit out seeds from fruits. I have pretty much make up my mind to buy a Vitamix blender but not sure which one to buy. I have pro 750 and a2500 in mind but have concerns on the A series, thinking it may have more issues on the newer features. If you were me, what would you buy?

Will the new containers work with the older Vitamix machines?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

I've tried it only on the G-series machine and they do "work", but I doubt they will be for sale anytime soon and there's zero benefit of using the Self-Detect container with the legacy machines.

Henry, I really need you to help me! I know you're not replying very often and you might be busy, but I literally asked even Vitamix about an advice and they didn't reply. I kept watching reviews and reading what people said, and it's the same, nothing that enlightened me enough to take a decision. I saved up enough money for a Vitamix and honestly the price isn't an issue, but I just can't decide on the best. I saw the 780 is the most expensive and cause I wanna spoil myself wanted to get that one, but that doesn't mean it's the best necessarily. I'm still thinking what to choose between 780, 750 heritage copper (I like the design) or the 3500 (it's the newest but cheaper than 780 weirdly Enough). They're all kinda new and I guess some of the best, but which one is really the most amazing? Pleaseeeeee give me an advice! I'd be forever grateful!

I'm stuck in a Vitamix decision cycle🙁. 750 copper looks amazing, now i torn between it and the accent models. Someone HELP!

[@onigutza]

Hi :) I recommend you get the newest model, which is the A3500. I struggled so much to get a straight recommendation like this, everybody was just telling me to get what I think it suits me the most (like I knew), and everything was so vague. The truth is they are all good and blend the same, but the other features make a slight difference. I'm just happy with this one, it looks nice, blends nice, it's new... On the other side the Copper 750 looks so pretty, and I'm sure you'll have the same blending results. And the prices are similar. I just went with what was the newest :) it's kinda hard to decide, I know.
