Month-old A2300 stopped working with an E17 error, which turned out to be a 1.4 L jug lid not closed properly. Likes the safety feature that the motor will not run unless the jug is fitted correctly.

Chose the A2300 because it works with the Vitamix app for other models' presets, then found the app is hard or impossible to get on newer Android phones. Regrets the buying reason and wonders whether to return it.
First A2300 after their Ninja died. The hollandaise from the included recipe book was really good and so easy they plan to stop ordering breakfast takeout. Only complaint is the minimum batch size in the wide container is too big for two.
Uses the A2300 with the 64 oz container to make soy milk twice a week after one month of ownership. Blends 2 L of soybean mixture in a minute without the tamper and is happy with the result.
Had the A2300 a little over a month and says it has been great, loves using it. The only problem is the 20 oz and 8 oz bases are not detected and just show dashes, while the 64 oz container works fine.
Bought the A2300 in a Costco deal and loves it, but regrets not getting the A3300 or A3500 because timed blending would be helpful for soups and similar.
Owns an A2300 and has used the app countless times for presets without problems.
Likes the A2300: some learning curve but uses it for smoothies, tahini, nut butters, dips, hot sauce, soups and juice. Loves the speed control for chopping vegetables. Feels a bit lightweight but a good performer for home cooking.
Bought an A2300i in Australia in January and loves it. Great for vegan cashew cheese sauces cooked right in the blender, and the small bowls and cups added later work well too. Says the 10 year warranty matters.
A2300 owner of about a year who never wished for presets and finds the on-screen timer enough, calling it worth the upgrade over Explorian models.
Has an A2300 and really enjoys it. Rarely needs program settings since most blends run low to high quickly, and likes that the container is dishwasher safe.
Bought two A2300 kits because the 20 oz to-go cups were not detected. Vitamix explained the cup needs tightening further than leak-proof before the sensors line up. Works once tightened with two hands on the cup.
Owner of the A2300 who struggled with 20 oz cup detection and found the tighten-until-detected tip works even with little hand strength. Otherwise loves the blender.
Recently bought an A2300, the cheapest Ascent, and finds the presets helpful for new users.
Owns an A2300 and says the app works great, including pre-programmed cycles without the Vitamix scale.
