Vitamix Ascent X2 Blender, Professional Grade, 3 Preset Mixing Programs, 40 Ounce Canister, Self-Cleaning, Shadow Black

Blends perfectly. Jar that comes along has a good capacity, so it can blend large amounts easily. But for small amounts it wont work. You will need a separate small jar for smaller amounts, which I am searching for currently.

The Vitamix Ascent X2 Blender offers outstanding performance, making it a powerful and reliable kitchen machine. It excels at producing luxurious smoothies, finely blended frozen cocktails, and silky smooth purees. Its 2.2 HP motor handles a wide variety of tasks effortlessly, from crushing ice into a snow-like texture to blending fibrous ingredients such as kale and broccoli into smooth soups and smoothies. The blender's 48oz jar is ideal for smaller batches, offering great control and smooth blending, although it may feel a bit small for large-volume blending. It also features a self-cleaning program, variable speed control with a precise dial, and a tamper that helps with thicker blends. Overall, the Vitamix Ascent X2 is an exceptional blender for anyone looking for consistent, powerful blending performance, whether for smoothies, soups, nut butters, or crushed ice. Its balance of power, ease of use, and quality construction makes it highly recommended for a premium blending experience.

For us, this was an excellent choice and well worth the expense. We use it almost daily. It is loud but we don’t mind it for the 45 seconds it takes to make a perfect smoothy. It fits nicely under the cupboards.

Good but too loud

This is a must behind your bar!!! I use it every day for frozen Cocktails! Nobody needs a Vitamix for healthy smoothies!! Great product, quality and easy to clean! My bartenders love it!
