Who knew a blender could be brainy? The Ascent™ series of Smart System blenders by Vitamix will change the way you mix it up in the kitchen forever. The starter system begins with the SELF-DETECT® blade base that has built-in wireless connectivity and can sense individual container sizes. It also has a programmable timer. That means whatever you’re making will never be over or under blended. And it has a self-cleaning setting, too! The series is also expandable to the ongoing Ascent evolution of smart accessories like the nifty new food processor attachment. They have a ten-year warranty too.
