The new Vitamix Ascent X Series is an evolution of the brand's premium blender line, combining iconic Vitamix performance and durability with modern design and functionality.

CLEVELAND, Sept. 5, 2024 /CNW/ -- Vitamix^®, the 103-year-old brand that has defined premium blending for decades, is launching its most advanced product line ever, the new Ascent^® X Series. This category-leading machine unlocks the future of countertop blending for home cooks, with up to 10 blending programs, a Self-Cleaning program, user feedback, a streamlined look, and more upgrades – all designed with Vitamix's made-to-last quality.

The new Vitamix® Ascent® X Series is an evolution of the brand’s premium blender line, combining iconic Vitamix performance and durability with modern design and functionality.

The new Ascent X Series boasts a reimagined, timeless design and an intuitive interface. Ten blending programs, including frozen desserts, smoothies, soups, dips and spreads, frozen cocktails, smoothie bowls, frappés, nut butters, non-dairy milks, spice grinding, and an automatic Self-Cleaning program, are designed to inspire users to "try everything" and go beyond smoothies. The striking new look is modern and available in beautiful hues – including Midnight Blue, Polar White, and Brushed Stainless – that complement any kitchen.

"Vitamix tapped into our brand's incredibly passionate fan base and leveraged consumer insights to build the new Ascent X Series," said Laura Ostenkamp, VP Sales & Marketing at Vitamix. "And like all Vitamix products, the performance, technology, and quality of the Ascent X Series is an investment designed to last for generations."

The Ascent^® X Series models – Ascent X2, Ascent X3, Ascent X4, and Ascent X5 – offer a range of refreshed and consumer-preferred features, including:

• A powerful motor and high-quality blade made from a single piece of stainless steel
• Convenient Self-Cleaning program
• Up to 10 recipe programs
• Tamper storage for quick accessibility
• A new 48-ounce container with a comfortable, soft-grip handle and slender base for under-cabinet storage
• Built-in wireless connectivity to detect container size and attachment
• Variable Speed Control and Pulse features to manually fine-tune the texture of any recipe
• A digital timer that removes the guesswork with recipes that users process manually

For those ready to try everything in the kitchen, the Ascent^® X4 and X5 offer more exceptionally exclusive features, including:

• New blending feedback technology to guide users to the perfect blend every time, including a tamper indicator that lets home cooks know when to use the tool to keep thicker blends moving
• A new +15 seconds button to extend a blending program when a blend needs a little longer to complete
• New modern and intuitive controls for easy operation
• A bonus printed recipe book highlighting 30+ recipes developed by Vitamix's in-house culinary team

The new Ascent X Series combines iconic Vitamix^® performance and durability with modern design and functionality. Vitamix machines stand the test of time because they are designed with a powerful, cool-running motor; a metal drive system; and stainless-steel blades. They last up to 10 times longer than an average blender.

Vitamix's best-in-class warranty reflects the brand's expectations for durability and quality. In fact, fewer than 2% of Vitamix products in the U.S. currently under warranty have been returned to Vitamix for service. The Ascent X Series is backed by a 10-year full warranty.
