Owns the A2300 with a 48 oz container and says it struggles with homemade frappes: ice and thick protein mixes need 30-60 seconds and the tamper, unlike the quick blends seen at Starbucks. Considers it harder to use for icy drinks than expected.

Has had the A2300 for a month and uses it daily for protein shakes, kids' smoothies and soup, though would not recommend it for batches under 16 oz.
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.
Bought an A2300i in the UK and was disappointed: it needs far more ingredients to keep mixing, such as three frozen bananas for soft-serve, and protein and ice recipes left crushed ice on the sides.
Finds the low-profile 64 oz container on the A2300 poor for single-serve smoothies (best at 3+ cups), though easy to keep clean.

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.
