PROS

KitchenAid KSB4031CU K400
Vitamix A2500 Ascent Series Smart Blender
Yes

• The KitchenAid is an excellent option if you're looking for a multitasking blender that can do more than make frozen drinks. • Includes a 56 oz. blender jar and a 16 oz. personal blender jar with a re-sealable lid for easy drinking - great for making a smoothie on the go, both jars are BPA-Free • Blending is a breeze with the 3 part blending system, made of the blender's vortex-creating ribbed jar design, unique asymmetric blade, and the smarts behind the Intelli-Speed Motor Control, which automatically senses contents and maintains the optimal speed for a better blend. • Self-clean cycle for easy clean-up - just add water and a drop of soap to the jar and run the self-clean cycle for quick, easy clean-up. • Soft Start feature starts at the right speed - the motor automatically starts at a slower speed to pull ingredients into the blade, and then quickly increases to the selected speed to avoid splatter. • Use 3 Preset Recipe Programs: Ice Crush, Icy Drinks, and Smoothie. Or, control the taste and texture to fit your personal preference with the 5-speed variable speed dial. • This blender pulverizes the spinach and destroys it down to the smallest spinach molecule. No more worrying about tiny pieces of spinach in your teeth.

Yes

CONS

KitchenAid KSB4031CU K400
Vitamix A2500 Ascent Series Smart Blender
Yes

• It makes having a conversation a challenge because it is considered to be extremely loud. • It does not have rubber feet under the base so it keeps moving around during the blending process. • The entire unit is very large. The base alone is heavy and stands fairly high. • The blades cannot be removed...at least not very easily.

Yes

• It is very powerful there are no suction cups on the bottom to keep it from moving. • The container does not latch into place on the base. • People say it's very loud. • Because there are 4 blades, it can be a little difficult to clean in making peanut butter. • It’s not cheap • Classic switches tend to accumulate dust and food particles • Ingredients can get stuck on the side of the jar. • Doesn't automatically stop when finished. • The Ascent range of machines isn’t cheap, and neither is the A2500! • Quite bulky. You’ll need either a big storage cupboard or plenty of under-cabinet space to accommodate this blender.
