Vitamix A2300 Unboxing & Review | Better than a Ninja for Smoothies!

I was able to get my Vitamix A2300 Ascent Series Smart Blender for $272.00 on Amazon: amzn.to/3bgoQES (affiliate link)
That's a savings of over $275 compared to the normal list price of $549.95! It's probably not that low but I've seen the price drop on it a few times in the previous months. So keep an eye on it on Amazon.

Great review! Would you do a follow-up now that you've had it for almost 6 months?

[@travisderose]

Yeah good idea! It’s still great! The only things are you do sorta need to do a deep clean with vinegar every 3 months or so and the app is a bit annoying to pull up every time if you want to use the presets. But just minor annoyances really, it’s freaking great! I’ve actually lost an average of 7lbs since I bought it too

[@musinga]

@@travisderose Thanks so much for the response and congratulations on the weight loss! Information on how well the app works has been hard to come by, but it sounds like you haven't had connectivity issues. I did have some follow up questions. Have you had any issues with the base not reading the jar? You seem fond of large batch smoothies, how you tried single serve portions as other have complained of poor blending under that condition?

[@travisderose]

@@musinga Never had issues with the base not reading the jar. Yeah I always make massive smoothies so never had an issue with poor blending

[@SydneyDiva]

I just bought the same Vitamix and I also wanted it in white. Unfortunately in Australia it cost me $660 AUD and that was the 'sale' price! Can't wait to use it - thanks for your great video.

[@grazie0316]

In Norway its $650 US dollars while the A3500 is $950 . I ordered the A2300 2 days ago and it came today. I made a smoothie immediately and it was perfect! Im hoping its durable as they say as its quite an investment. Im planning to buy the accesory because the container that came with it is too big if you will make smoothie for 1 person only

[@SydneyDiva]

@@grazie0316 Yes, me too. And the small bowls would be handy for chopping up a few ingredients. I'd rather buy once than buy several cheaper models, so I do hope it lasts!

[@allthings_suzieq]

Just got this a week ago it doesn’t seem to blend thick smoothies well

[@chris9300]

I just ordered one of these last night. I've had a crappy ninja from walmart for 2 years which is obnoxiously loud and leaves chunks. This blender looks amazing

[@earthquakesville7540]

Same, except I went with the nutri bullet. I learned the hard way that you can't get the thing for cheap without a struggle. Save up and invest in a much better product even if it takes a few extra months of payments. Well worth it if you use it every day, and those long warranties are so nice.

[@nhtathinfbntb2746]

amazing review dude. So stoked for mine!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nanna2five]

Just ordered from Costco it comes with hundreds of dollars in accessories! Can't wait!

[@levonmcgregor6113]

Great review thank you!

[@sharonleiser5651]

Just ordered a red one coming. Tomorrow. Bought on sale 650 aud.

[@borkasiamese4617]

What a lovely channel and guy! Catch a new subscriber :)

[@juliasereczynska6581]

Wooow, thank you! Great video, it made me buy it 👌🏼 I didn’t know about the Bluetooth and app 🤯

[@travisderose]

Awesome! Thanks

[@grapes1ful]

Great video, very informative! I just bought the same model, the base seems heavy. Hopefully, I will like it!

[@travisderose]

I think you will but report back and let me know your thoughts!

[@brittannewentroble4708]

Appreciate your review! Thanks!

[@PopcornSimulationGaming]

Just ordered it in white from amazon UK be sad to say goodbye to my old 5200 total nutrition centre 😢 but HELLO A2500

[@AGC828]

The a2300...great choice especially if you KNOW you're only going to be using it to make smoothies. Makes little sense to spend more money for some of the other tech the models above this one use to sell them with. And it can do pretty much everything the other Ascent models can (e.g. paired with the app). Only drawback is there will be times when you'll be distracted and over blend a smooth and get a warm drink or possibly a soup. :Plus, if any one wants to access the app you'll need your phone or tablet...will you always have your phone or tablet handy?? I'm getting thte a2500 for that reason. Avoid over blending and always needing my phone ready if I want to use the app. I think I'd be using mine for smoothies, nut butter making and making soups occasionally. For that reason spending more money on an a3300 or a3500 makes little sense to me.Just for a better display, programmable timer (probably never use) and 1 extra food preset button. No toggle switches too... Ferris Bueller?? :)

[@travisderose]

Yeah I agree, the a2500 is handy for those preprogrammed selectors available right there on the dial

[@jojohn3865]

Hello Anderson C, your comment is very helpful. I’ve been trying to figure out why a2500. Thank you Curiosityness for the video

[@veetour]

You just need to stay with the blender for one short minute. It’s hard to forget you’re blending something with the noise it makes. I got the A2300 because those programs on the more expensive models are not worth the higher price to me.

[@Albertojedi]

Isn't the timer in the A2300 programmable? The one in the Venturist 1200, which is a cheaper Costco model, I understand is programmable.

[@honestnewsnet]

With the smart feature you can walk away but within a few seconds you will be coming right back. lol

[@Albertojedi]

Cameras, lights, and action at 1:38! How do you compare thay A2300 with your old Vitamix?

[@travisderose]

It's the same result! The new one is just a bit easier to work with

[@driftracing08]

My aunt had the ninja blender until she tried a smoothie that was made with my blendtec and she replaced it with a vitamix

[@travisderose]

haha nice! Blendtec and vitamix are pretty comparable right?

[@driftracing08]

@@travisderose The only difference is that blendtec wanted a blender that will be very durable and that they show it blending up objects and they have a thing on youtube called will it blend and both are very good quality blenders

[@vanessaong1302]

I’m aiming to get a white one too. I just think they look so sleek. Any regrets now that you’ve had it for awhile choosing white?

[@travisderose]

Yeah I like the white a lot! No regrets, it’s been great! I love the auto-modes so it’s nice to have those available on the phone to load up. It’s a been annoying to pull out my phone every time but not a big deal at all

[@txgirla]

Ordered the Vitamix A2300 Ascent Super bundle & Im sending it back. I thought the bluetooth interface on the 'smoothie containers' was clumsy, hard to 'align the almost invisible arrows", and the package didnt have the most used container, a 48 ounce wet container. The 64 oz is too huge. The dry container isnt that useful. Im now going to shop for the Explorian with a 48 oz container.

[@travisderose]

Oh ok, I’ve really grown to like the app not that they updated it a few months ago

[@veronicaskov3752]

If you get explorian go e320. Because it has a full size motor allowing use of 4 inch blades

[@johannajo4514]

Oh love, nuts fruits and veggies together is almost impossible to digest properly at the same time 😁😉 thanks for the review!

[@travisderose]

better than nothing?

[@Dayzi12]

I just got the same model. After about 45 seconds does soap start coming out from the top?

[@travisderose]

I’ve had that happen but just use less soap

[@betsthatnguyen]

Is this better than the e10 ??

[@travisderose]

It has a few more features so it's more convenient but not necessarily better

[@dvi06]

I just bought mine and sometimes starts and sometimes doesn't... Does it happens to you?

[@travisderose]

Make sure you hold the start button down for a beat

[@yahfah100]

Can you tell me where di youo get it? Who is the seller?

[@travisderose]

amzn.to/3bgoQES

[@susandurandstone4278]

What’s with your parents taking back your inheritance 😡. I just bought this model.

[@colonelchewbaca1403]

I'm replacing a 200 dollar ninja that failed after 5 years of very light use.

[@havealovelyday3353]

It's too noisy?

[@travisderose]

Yeah it's loud but worth the noise!

[@RJ-su9us]

Incomplete review. Failed to show the pulse speed function.

[@travisderose]

Sorry

[@lyranlover6904]

Bro actually shut the front door lmao

[@yahfah100]

Please send me the seller?

The Autodetect function of the new Vitamix is not working properly making the VITAMIX is anything but reliable. After a while your highly likely run into the problem that your container does not get recognised. In my case right after purchase, basically right after unpacking, the container was not recognised. Vitamix sent me a new one but I should have already known that the design is flawed. Now, after 2.5 years, same issue, but no warranty! Meaning, the Vitamix is useless. Go for something more basic and reliable. The autodetect function is a big mess. I do not know how they could introduce such a fragile tech to the market.
