Used an A2300i and found the magnet lid and jar detection very annoying in the EU version; replaced four jugs under warranty before one worked. Still recommends the model over others in the Ascent line for the app programs and lower price.

Destroyed their first A2300 container making nut butter: the hot oil deformed the plastic and leaked out at the blade. Vitamix replaced it, but warns not to blend nut butter for too long.
Costco A2300 bundle had a start button and container-detection fault, so returned it and reordered the same bundle. When it did work the smoothie was very smooth, better than the Breville it replaced, but the unit was unreliable.
New A2300 had container detection problems out of the box: the 48 oz was not detected and the 64 oz needed the start button pressed to sync. Vitamix sent a replacement container that works great, but getting a swap through the retailer was a hassle.

What does the signal score of 52 mean?
It's how well reviewed Vitamix Ascent A2300 is, out of 100, next to the other blenders here. Two things go in: how its reviews compare with the best-reviewed appliance (positive reviews, mixed counting half, and how many reviews there are), and its own negative and mixed reviews, which take points off, so only a appliance few people are unhappy with scores in the high 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
