Customers are mixed about the performance of the food blender. Some mention it works good, is very powerful, and impressive, while others say that it's not easy to use, sometimes works, and doesn't work with the Ascent 3500 series.

Customers are mixed about the size of the food blender.

The cup is smaller and narrower, so the order of ingredients is important.

As for the performance, it is superb! I am very happy with the results. I even made a coconut chutney, which is one of the more difficult things to grind and it made a super smooth paste. I am very glad I bought this and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to grind small quantities.
The cup is smaller and narrower. So the order of ingredients is important. If you over stack the cup, you will need to stop blending, and give it a few shakes to ensure everything is incorporated.
People buy this tall and narrow cup assuming it will blend as amazingly as a large wide vitamix container. I too wish that was the case, but that simply isnt possible. I would rather shake the cup once or twice, and be able to put in into my bag, or cup holder than have it big just a mini version of the vitamix container with no portability.
With that said, please do know that this is not a cup you can load up with tons of stuff, add very little liquid and expect it the vitamix up a wonderful concoction.
For portability, and portion control and consistency this cup is very useful.
Also of note, i ordered this cup and lid, for use with the blending base I had from my purchase of the vitamix blending bowls and base.
This product is simply a cup and lid.
The vitamix itself comes with a 10 year warranty. But if you buy these accessories separately the warranty is only three years. How convenient. This isn't the kind of reliability I expected from Vitamix. If I had paid $30 bucks for it, I would have given it 5 stars.
Won’t make that mistake with this one.
