Our Verdict

Vitamix A2500

Vitamix A2300

The Vitamix A2300 is a little better than the Vitamix A2500. The A2300 processes fibrous ingredients like kale more efficiently, when you're working with small batches, like for a single-serve smoothie. On the other hand, the A2500's controls include a few automatic blending programs.
