It's here!! Vitamix has been so generous as to send me their premier A3500 Ascent Series Blender, along with the 12-Cup Food Processor Attachment.

I almost drooled when it arrived. I'm not kidding. This thing is AMAZING and I am considering making it a little bed and a sweater as it is part of the family now and NEVER EVER LEAVING. :) 

Features: (via Vitamix's site)

Five program settings (for Smoothies, Hot Soups, Dips & Spreads, Frozen Desserts, and Self-Cleaning) automatically adjust to the container size you’ve selected, process your recipes, and stop the blender when complete. Built-in wireless connectivity will allow Ascent™ Series blenders to evolve with the latest innovations for years to come.

Program Settings

Five program settings ensure walk-away convenience and consistent results.

Touch Interface

Touchscreen controls give the machine a sleek silhouette and are easily wiped clean.

You’re In Control

Variable Speed Control and Pulse feature let you manually fine-tune the texture of any recipe.

Built-In Wireless Connectivity

The motor base is able to read the container size you’ve chosen and automatically adjust program settings and maximum blending times accordingly.

Programmable Timer

A built-in timer helps avoid over- or under-processing your custom recipes. Set the timer to the length of your blend, and it will turn the machine off automatically.

Unlock the Ascent Series A3500's full potential with 17 programs and 500+ recipes with the iOS + Android app. Learn more

Pair with Any Self-Detect Containers

Add a range of compatible container sizes, building a customized blending system designed to fit your needs.

And that's just a tinnny fraction of what this baby can do. Vitamix also sent me their blending cups and smoothie bowl (I'll be featuring those separately soon as they arrived after the above video was made) which work with the self-detect settings on the A3500. 

This is literally my life now and I can't wait to show you all the fantastic cuisine my hubby and I create with this fabulous machine! Thank you again, Vitamix!!
