The intuitive controls are a touchscreen for a sleek appearance and easy cleaning. An integrated timer turns the blender off when time runs out, so you can walk away and know that you’ve blended for exactly the right time. It comes with a 64-ounce container, but other compatible containers are available separately. The motor base has wireless connectivity, so it can read the size of the container that is in use and adjust the program settings and blending times appropriately. The app is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, and can also work with the Perfect Blend Pro Smart Scale for precise measuring as you cook. It also pairs with the Vitamix Perfect Blend app, which has 17 different programs and includes more than 500 recipes. One of the smartest of the Vitamix blenders, this blender has five pre-programmed settings to perfectly blend smoothies, make hot soups, puree baby food and frozen desserts, and clean itself.

Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series Smart Blender Review Peanut butter and other oily substances may require an additional scrub, but overall our home tester thought cleaning "couldn't be easier." This blender is on the louder end of the spectrum, but we didn't consider that to be a dealbreaker. While it's not dishwasher-safe, it's simple to fill the blender jar with warm, soapy water and run the cleaning cycle. She then used the blender to turn the whipped cream into butter, which turned out perfectly as well. Our home tester was thoroughly impressed with its ability to blend smoothies, iced lattes, rice flour, and even whipped cream. If you know you'll be frequently blending up small quantities, there is a compatible 32-ounce container sold separately that will be best suited for those recipes. When it came to making peanut butter, our testers found that the wide and large container is best suited for larger batches. This excelled in our Lab tests, blending an aerated smoothie with a very smooth texture. The tamper, which is included with all Vitamix blenders, is designed to move food around without getting in the way of the blades, so it can be used when the blender is running. The low-profile 64-ounce container will fit neatly under most kitchen cabinets for easy countertop storage. This blender makes things easy with five preset programs for cleaning, smoothie-making, frozen desserts, hot soup, and pureeing When you don’t want to use a preset, you can choose your own speed or use the pulse feature for chunky blending (think chunky tomato sauce or salsa) or finer control.
