A3500 Ascent Series Blender

Features of the A3500 Blender

5 Program Settings

Make smoothies (and more) with the press of a button. Our program settings offer walk-away convenience & consistent results for your favorite blends.         

Self-Detect Technology

This blender is smart! The motor base automatically recognizes your container size and adjusts program settings and maximum blend times.         

Variable Speed, Pulse & Timer

You’re in control—adjust speed or Pulse to fine-tune textures as you blend, or use the built-in timer for consistent results on your favorite recipes.         

Easy Cleaning

Just blend warm water and a drop of dish soap at your machine's highest speed, and watch it self-clean in 60 seconds—no disassembly required.         

High-Performance Motor

Blend frozen fruit, heavy powder, all the greens—our powerful motors transform tough ingredients into smooth blends, year after year.

Precise Container Design

Every angle of our patented container is designed to fold ingredients back to the blades for faster, smoother blends—creating the Vitamix vortex.         

Stainless-Steel Blades

Our laser-cut blades are designed to deliver the same quality results, from first blend to last, and are resistant to dulling or bending.

Blade Friction Heating

Our blades reach speeds fast enough to create friction heat, bringing cold ingredients to steaming hot in about six minutes.         

Make It In Minutes: The Vitamix Difference

Nut Butter

Making your own natural, preservative-free nut butter is so easy. Try a variety of nuts for sandwiches, fruit dips, healthy snacks, or a peanut butter smoothie.

Smoothies & Juices

Turn healthy fruits and vegetables into refreshing smoothies and juices using the whole ingredient, including the fiber, for a great snack or complement to any healthy breakfast.

Frozen Dessert

Quickly and easily create chilled desserts, from sherbet to fruit sorbet and milkshakes.

Hot Soup

The friction of our blades can make steaming-hot soup in under 10 minutes, right in the container; chilled soups take even less time. Make each blend your own by playing with add-ins like ramen noodles, tortellini, or kefir.
