Their Costco A2300 stopped recognizing the food processor after one use, so they returned it for an A2500, which blends well.

Two 64 oz A2300 jars leaked from the bottom, and both were already replacement parts from customer service. Trouble finding the specific key tool to open and fix them.
Bought an A2300i in Europe in 2022 and had reliability problems almost from the start: it stops for no reason or will not start. Warranty support through the distributor was unhelpful, so buyer-beware on the A2300i.
The rubber seal on the lid of their A2300's 64 oz low profile container is wearing out and about to break, and they cannot find a replacement part.
Brand new A2300 whose blade drive socket is a little wobbly, and asks if that is normal. Other owners say the socket should not wobble and may need tightening or a replacement machine.
UK 2300i owner who broke the jug, then found a US replacement jug is not recognised by the base. Frustrated by the NFC and jug detection system.
A2300i worked for six months, then jug or lid detection failed; Vitamix replaced the jug and the same issue returned after another six months. Repair would mean a 4 week turnaround.
Christmas gift A2300 where the 8 oz cup spun itself off while blending chimichurri, which cost the owner six stitches on a finger. Vitamix offered a redesigned 8 oz and 20 oz cup and the owner now considers the old ones dangerous.

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.
