CONCLUSION

PROS

Vitamix A3500 Brushed Stainless Blender
Oster Versa Blender
Yes

• Storing this blender is in no way a hassle for it sits right under your cabinet and can be left in one place on the counter where you need it. Because of its compact size, the most powerful Vitamix motor fits in the standard 18" space. • The cookbook is convenient and filled with scrumptious recipes. • Function wise it is great and can easily blend everything. • This blender is so powerful that it can even blend and destroy chia seeds. • Quality and long-lasting materials are used on this blender which makes it a durable appliance in your kitchen. • It gives you results with a smooth consistency from the toughest ingredients. • It can crash ICE. • Versatility like making salsa, smoothies, ice cream, dough, to hot soups. • Very powerful and can blend almost anything. • Easy to make nut butter or thicker recipes like hummus. • Large capacity and holds a lot in a batch. • 10 variable speed controls. • Compatible with several useful Vitamix accessories. • Works with wet and dry blades. • Easy to clean with self-cleaning function. • Very durable and reliable. • Built to last with quality parts. • Includes a tamper for harder to blend mixtures. • Excellent 7-year warranty.

Yes

• Strong motor • Smaller footprint • Easy to read controls • Easy to clean- Cleaning is a breeze, just cycle water through; you can throw just about anything into it, fun to cook again. • Aesthetically pleasing design despite its large size. • The jug is great and easy to attach. • Lightweight, durable plastic jar and (seemingly) solid, well-made, base and motor. • Seven (7) year warranty makes the high price more tolerable. • The gasket appears pliable and has dual ridges to securely seal the lid; only time will tell how durable the gasket will be. • It's easy to use. You can just use the dial or use one of the pre-set buttons. • It's stable and does not move on the countertop. • The base is heavy and has rubberized feet. It won't walk across your counter while blending, doesn't cause crazy vibrations, even at top speed. • Jar capacity is pretty good. Two very large hurricane glasses full, I'd say. • The blade just destroys ice and frozen fruit/veggies. • Preset buttons are useful, but I prefer the manual control knob. Has a solid click and a good feel. • Square jar is my favorite. Creates a real nice swirl in the jar that gets every last chunk down to the blades. • Plastic plunger helps break up any blockages • Single piece jar--no bottom to unscrew, no leaky O-rings to fiddle with and seat properly or to lose at the bottom of the dishwasher. The top has two rows of flexible ribbing that ensure a tight seal all the way around the jar. Easily removable plug in the lid made of clear plastic. Very sturdy and heavy-grade plastic all around.

CONS

Vitamix A3500 Brushed Stainless Blender
Oster Versa Blender
Yes

• For a juice blender, this appliance is kind of expensive and overpriced but with all the good features, it definitely is worth it. • There isn't a pour spout so you have to remove the lid completely to pour out the contents. • Comes with zero accessories beyond the single 64oz blender pitcher and additional accessories are also pricey. The 64oz blender is great for larger batches of things but it definitely isn't ideal for smaller individual-sized batches. • Unfortunately this is not dishwasher safe; therefore cleaning it is a chore. It is wise though to clean it immediately after blending for then the increase easily comes off. • There is a bit of a learning curve needed when using this blender but it becomes fun after you get the hang of it. • A few people complain about the noise and loudness. • Not the most affordable blender. • Pitcher is difficult to pour for some customers. • Harder to clean because blades aren’t supposed to be removed. • No pre-set programs like the Vitamix 750 Professional Series or other models. • No pulse mode, but can still do pulsing jobs. • Plastic top can be annoying. • Fairly bulky and large (you can buy low profile container).

Yes

• This blender can get pretty loud at full power. Low power is not so bad. • It is not considered dishwasher safe by the manufacturer. • The blade cannot be removed...at least not very easily. • The rubber seal on the lid comes off easily. • It can be a bit tricky to get the pitcher to sit on the base properly. • The entire unit is very large. The base alone is heavy and stands fairly high. • The manufacturer recommends wrapping the cord underneath the base and around the motor. This is just not practical when you use the blender daily.
