Ascent X2

Kept their X2 despite finding it still very loud, for the convenience.

Their new Ascent X2 leaves berry seeds as gritty fragments even after 90 seconds on 10.

Returned their Venturist Pro for the Costco X2 and prefers the X2's programs for daily smoothies and protein ice cream.

Their X2's presets are surprisingly convenient; they mainly use smoothie and self-cleaning.

After 11 solid years with a 5200, finds the X2 a modern upgrade they prefer, with presets and a 10-year warranty.

Loves their X2, the best blender they've used; it handles anything and clean-up is super easy.

Has the Ascent X2 with the food processor and uses it to slice veggies for salads quickly and grate parmesan.

Their X2 started leaking after a few months and Vitamix quickly sent a new container.

Converted to Vitamix with a discounted Costco X2 bundle and is thrilled, with the food processor and both jars.

Their new Ascent X2 with the 48 oz container doesn't move cooked black beans at the bottom like their original Vitamix did, even at full speed.

Their one-year-old Ascent X2 has a stress crack in the ring.

Had the Ascent X2 before gifting it and moving to the X4; same performance, and they miss its physical levers.

Loves their X2: a nice base with physical knob and switches and the smoothie, self-clean and hot soup programs they use.

Their new Ascent X2 stops blending after about 30 seconds almost every time, still making motor sound but with no blade movement, until unplugged.

Their Ascent X2 was fine and rock solid on the counter, but they hated its NFC self-detect containers and replaced it.

Paid $500 for the Ascent X2 bundle with 48 oz and 64 oz containers and food processor from Costco and feels it has almost paid for itself.

Bought the Ascent X2 bundle at Costco last August and calls it one of their best kitchen purchases, adding the steel pitcher and food processor discs since.
