Reviewer Highlights
The News Of Austin Gear Team has praised Vitamix’s lineup, citing the classic 5200 as a favorite. Contributing reviewer Heather Arndt Anderson tested the Ascent X2, which currently carries a $50 discount, and noted that a good blender can change cooking habits. She also highlighted the blender’s performance with mole, masa, and walnut spread, though she wished it were easier to clean.
Heather Arndt Anderson stated:
> “The more I thought about it,” she wrote, “the more I realized that maybe I’ve never been a blender person because I never had a good blender.”
Emily Peck marveled that even the basic Explorian E310 churned almonds into butter without presoak.
