Review: Perfect for Smoothies - We owned a Vitamix many years ago. It was an extremely good product, but extremely noisy and hard to clean. My wife and son wanted to get a new one to make smoothies and milkshakes, so we purchased this one. It fits on the counter underneath the upper wall cabinets. It has plenty of power and a wonderful self cleaning mode. Vitamix just puts out a good product. I highly recommend this. Review: Just Get It!!! - I LOVE My Vitamix!!! I bought a Vitamix back in the 70s; it lasted for 40 plus years; I used it daily. I just recently upgraded to the Ascent V. I couldn't be more pleased. The versatile programs for preparing a variety of tasty concoctions are simple to do. The directions and symbols are uncomplicated. It is so easy to clean! In just a couple of minutes, it is ready to use again. It blends food beautifully .. great smoothies, soups, and dips..etc. I did buy the Stainless Steel container to use with it as I prefer using SS. I love it also. It is important to make sure if you buy the SS container that you get the one compatible for the Ascent V. This is one powerful and easy to use appliance. Don't balk at the price. This machine has already paid for itself. And you can choose a payment plan to pay it off without interest through desertcart. The Ascent V Vitamix is an investment in my health.

Had it for over 5 years when I saw this model I didn’t think there would be many new up grades. I was wrong this machine is a beast. Also new blender cup come with plastic top instead of the rubber ones in the past where they would get discolored from chilis or just wear and tear. I highly recommend this. The power of this machine is amazing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vitamix Ascent X5 Blender, Professional-Grade, 10 Preset Blending Programs, 48-ounce Container, Self-Cleaning, Brushed Stainless - Silicone Blender Spatula, Slim Blade Scraper Accessory Designed for Vitamix Blender Blades1 - Vitamix Blade Scraper Accessory, 1 Count (Pack of 1), Grey,Nylon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/726068240-ascent-x5-blender-with-10-blending-programs-self-cleaning-program](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/726068240-ascent-x5-blender-with-10-blending-programs-self-cleaning-program) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-29*
