For those thinking about the A3300, it's a fantastic price at $350. Typically it is $499 at full price. Both the Ascent A2500 and the Ascent A3300 models are $499 at full price. The A2500 only has the count up timer (not a programmable timer) that shows you the time lapse during blending, and it has knobs and levers. The A2500 also has three built-in presets. There is also an Ascent A2300 model (base Ascent model), which is the same as the A2500 minus the built-in presets that is $450 at full price. The A3300 is all digital with a programmable timer. The A3300's programmable timer counts up to show blending time lapse, but can also be set to stop after X amount of seconds or minutes. The A3300 is all digital and some consider that easier to clean because the panel is flat with no knobs or levers. The A3300 does not have built in presets. However, ALL Ascent (and the Costco Venturist model) can connect to the Vitamix Perfect Blend App and access many presets. They connect via bluetooth, the app recognizes what container size is on the blender, and you can pick any of the many presets and just press start on your actual blender. So even though the A3300 doesn't have built in presets, you can access presets via the app. The priciest model, the A3500, is all digital and the same as the A3300 except that it has five built-in presets and comes in metal housing finishes that supposedly make the unit quieter when blending (see lifeisnoyoke videos and reviews that discuss this). The only colors that are non metallic for the priciest A3500 are candy apple red and white, which are plastic finish and supposedly not as quiet as the metal housed bases. The A3300 on sale at Amazon right now in Black Diamond is supposedly the non metal housing finish. The A3300's only metal housed base is the brushed stainless steel. Regardless, the A3300 Amazon sale price for Black Diamond is an excellent deal. Only the Ascent (and Costco Venturist) blenders are compatible with the new food processor attachment and the smart detect 20 oz jar and 8 oz bowls. So if you care about compatibility with new smart detect accessories now and going forward, you probably want an Ascent (or Venturist) model. If all you care about is a good blend, any of the classics/non Ascent models blend wonderfully too. Hope this helps.

5200 is the pick for America's Test Kitchen.

This is mostly because it comes with a taller jar that vortexes better than the shorter wider jars.

Just to confirm that the deal is dead on the 5200. Had the red one in my cart, went to run half and hour and the deal was gone. Still pulled the trigger on the black one, a vitamix is a vitamix no matter which color.

I don't think there will be an Amazon Prime Day deal for the A3500. The sale ends in about 14 hours. I think if an A3500 were to be on sale, it would have been available and started at the same time as the 5200, A3300, and renewed Explorian sales. But you never know, and it doesn't hurt to leave it in your cart and check periodically.

I bought the 5200 more than 2 yrs ago and I hate it! It's too tall, but still fits under our cabinet, but I need the tamper all the time! It doesn't do what I see their reps at Costco do! My drinks don't turn out good like the ones I've sampled there! Frown I MUCH MICH MUCH prefer my Oster Versa Short Pitcher! It's outstanding!

Just add more fluid and u won't get stuck. I just bought four 48oz bottles by different brands to hold my huge vitamix blends daily. Adding the extra fluid will make it blend smoothly and u have extra juice to hold u over throughout the day.

Is A3300 worth it over the 5200?? I picked up the 5200 but having second thoughts if A3300 is better since it's newer, 10 year warranty (vs the 7 from 5200), and it has apps

Killer deal, really. Costco had it on sale for 310 (new) with two additional cups and an adapter last week. The one on sale here is a refurbed version with a 3 year (instead of 7 year) warranty. Pretty similar to the 5200 but with the shorter container and slightly more horse power.
