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 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

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.
