Vitamix Perfect Blend

This program is a great idea. Instead of developing this and renewing the app, vitamix chose to take 2 steps back, dropping support for ascent and dropping Bluetooth on the new X series. Instead, they’re using buggy and price grabbing RDIF programs that need to be updated via BUYING a new container .

The app is very clumsy and every part of it feels like an afterthought. At first I thought I’d gotten the wrong one because it makes it seem like you’re supposed to have a Vitamix scale to use it. Setup is awkward and unclear. Once I had it connected, it became clear the app will only be useful when using the pitcher that came with my blender. The food processor offers only a custom program and when I put my aer disc pitcher on it detects as the 48 oz dry container, so none of the programs are applicable except for custom. As for custom, since it only lets you set a single speed on a timer as a one off, I see no value in using the app to do that. It’s easier to just do that on the A3500 itself. The fact that it actually has extra programs for the standard pitcher is the only thing getting it two stars instead of one.

I’m on whole food plant based diet. I use my Vitamix several times a day. I make red smoothies, green smoothies, hummus, guacamole, salsa, soups. This scale has made my life so much easier. I look forward to using it all the time. It definitely speeds up the preparing process for sure. I highly recommend it. I wouldn’t want to use my Vitamix without it. I will give it 10 stars if I could.
