Vitamix delivers a more “advanced” but less solid version of the 750 pro.

not everything needs to be updated& moved into the 21st century just for the sake of presenting a “new& more advanced” product.

in comparison to the 750 series, the 2500i lacks quality material around the motor block& seems rather cheap despite the little difference in price.

the flip switch to activate the blender did not work properly most of the times.
Two or even three attempts were necessary way to often to activate the blender.

not including a automatic cleaning program is just a dirty way to try& sell the more “sophisticated” & of course more expensive 3500i.

not everybody wants to make dips, iced desserts or Hummus.
but everyone will eventually clean the Vitamix.

 i had the 2500i for exactly one day& went back to the 750 right away.

some things are considered classics for a reason& shouldn’t be tampered with.
