Vitamix Ascent Series A3300 SmartPrep Kitchen System, Black, 64 Fl Oz

It has been great so far. Purchased because my previous food processor died. I like how easy it is to change the blender to food processor container. I like the ease of cleaning and the cookbook that comes with it. It does take up a lot of counter space, but I don't have a problem with that. This was an investment. Hopefully, it will work for decades to come. Overall, I would purchase again.

My husband is a chef and has been for over 20 years. The sheer joy on his face when he unwrapped this for Christmas…. He’s like a kid opening a gaming system!

What a machine. Glad we made the purchase. So many uses we have not even been able to scratch the surface of possibilities!

Works great and easy to use once I figured out how to get the food processor to work. It took me a while to get the processor to work and sense that it was on the base. It takes me a bit of work each time. The blender attachment works great though. Probably the best I've ever used. The processor though, not sold on it. Takes too long to make it sense the pieces are connected.

OK, I splurged on the Vitamix. But I couldn't turn it on. The control are either insane enough that a woman with a PhD couldn't figure it out, or they just didn't work. I spent an hour with Vitamix tech; they told me to return it to Amazon, so I did. Horrible pain to pack it up and send it off; I won't buy their machine again.
