Disappointed in the A2500's quality: the tamper feels like a cheap wiffle bat compared with their mom's 15-year-old Vitamix, and it is louder on top speed.

Has used a reconditioned A2500 for close to seven years and it works great.
Bought a certified reconditioned A2500 for themselves, absolutely loves it, and it came like new in the box.
After just three blends the inside bottom of their new A2500's 64 oz container was visibly worn on all six sides; Vitamix sent a replacement container.
Found the A2500 toggle switches needed an unsatisfying hard press, returned it, and was much happier with an A3300.
Their reconditioned A2500 paddle switches must be pressed all the way down to the end to operate.
Their new A2500's clear container felt lighter and flimsier than expected.
Reconditioned A2500's side power switch is quite wobbly and even makes sounds.
