You can control the powerful Vitamix Ascent A2500i Black with the pre-programmed blending settings. With a push of the button, you can make soups, sauces, dips, and ice cream. The blender turns on the automatic programs and turns it off when your preparation is finished. As a result, you can make a hot soup made of raw ingredients in 7 minutes. After use, you can clean the blender by turning it on with some water and dish soap. The tritan pitcher is heat-resistant and very sturdy. In addition, the pitcher doesn't absorb any odors, colors, or flavors, so it'll last extra long. Vitamix offers a 10-year warranty for this blender.
