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.

think i'm gonna jump on this and get the 5200, thanks for the post.

i wish they sold it with the 48 oz container instead of 64 oz, since the 64 oz is too tall to fit under normal kitchen cabinets when it's on the base.

but, i've read a few reviews of the low-profile 64 oz container that comes with the other models, which say it doesn't work well when you want to make small servings (less than 4 cups or so) because the base is too wide. i'd rather deal with the inconvenience of extra height than lose the ability to make single servings. if it gets too annoying, i can always order the 48 oz container separately later.

The ascent with its modular blending cup/bowl (sold separately) is perfect for making single servings (1-2 cups worth). I'd wait on that, maybe BF. The 2300 was on sale a few months ago for $270 and has been a pleasure to use in the kitchen.

FYI the Vitamix 32 oz container [amazon.com] is warmly priced at $103.99 right now. Buying that and the Vitamix mini tamper [amazon.com] is fantastic for single servings... plus it fits under cabinets!

Awesome price on the 5200. Have had mine for 10 years now and use it almost daily. Only issue was with the blade bearing about 5 years ago and Vitamix sent me a new container right away. Every time I see one of these deals pop up I wonder if I should buy one as backup.
