Ascent X4 Blender, Professional-Grade, 5 Preset Blending Programs, 48-ounce Container, Self-Cleaning, Polar White

Fantastic! Nothing like a Vitamix. . This is an upgrade from an older model that was still working. Highly recommend!

Works very well. It can handle anything. My main ingredients are frozen whole bananas, frozen half-avocados, frozen peanut butter scoops. Very convenient to just press a button and walk away.

This is the best blender I’ve ever had. But it better be for $1000. Pretty quiet as far as blenders go. Just don’t tell the wife how much you paid for it.

My vitamix from the 1980s quit working. I hoped to save money by using a food processor instead. Unfortunately they have very different blades and the outcome was less than desirable. After careful consideration ($$) I decided to buy another one. So, I did some research and chose the Ascent 4x. I like the size of the pitcher, the pre programmed options and quiet engine. Wow, just wow! My old vitamix was very nice, but the new one takes it to the next level. What I don’t like is: the tamper seems to be made out of hollow plastic. I’m not sure how well it will hold up. This version doesn’t offer the individual to go mixing tumbler that is available with the pro 5200. I like the added convenience of mixing a smoothie in the same container you will drink it out of. This was almost a deal breaker for me, but the size of the machine was a bigger issue. I am not disappointed at all. The ease of use and consistency made it worth while.

While it’s on the pricier side, this blender/processor is worth every penny. It’s solid, powerful, and handles even the toughest tasks with ease. We’ve used it for everything from blending smoothies to processing ingredients for soups, and it has far exceeded our expectations. Making soup has never been easier—the consistency is perfect every time. Highly recommend if you’re tired of replacing blenders every couple of years—this one’s built to last!
