Vitamix Ascent A2500i Anthracite

This product had been on my wish list for some time, it is quite an investment but felt good with the 10-year warranty that you get and completely trusted when you buy it at Coolblue. This is my 3rd blender and the 1st that can make everything I described in the pros. Awesome ! (2 hands up) Making my own peanut butter for the first time felt like making Tom Hanks in Cast Away with fire. This will save so much packaging material.

For the past 10 years I have used (alternately) a Philips blender, Magic bullet and a blender jar on a Kenwood food processor. All fine devices from 80-200 euros.

These devices are totally incomparable to this Vitamix; like it's a totally different category of machines. An e-reader versus a laptop or a camping burner versus an induction hob.

After 1 smoothie from this blender, all doubts about the initially absurdly high purchase price disappeared.

I already had the old VItamix TNC 5200, but this blender is really one step better. You notice that it is stronger than the old Vitamix, but the operation also feels smoother and easier. In addition, this blender is beautiful to see, it wouldn't look out of place in my kitchen!
