Vitamix Ascent A3500 Reviews

Most owners find it a powerful blender that makes very smooth smoothies, with easy presets and a solid feel. Downsides include container detection problems with attachments and some units developing errors, burning smells or turning on by themselves. The wide containers also suit single servings poorly.

Of the 130 reviews with a clear verdict, 65% are positive, 15% mixed and 20% negative. The praise mentioned most is smooth blends. The most common complaint is broke down.

The praise reviewers mention most: smooth blends (12 reviews), solid build (10 reviews) and powerful (9 reviews). For example: Chose the A3500 over a 5200 and says smoothies have been unbelievably smooth since moving from a Nutribullet.

The complaints reviewers mention most: broke down (5 reviews) and loud (1 review). For example: Their A3500 shows brown burnt dust between the base and jar, and Vitamix customer service has been unresponsive.

It's how well reviewed Vitamix Ascent A3500 is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a appliance needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed appliances here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
