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. The execution in design fails to deliver on this simple concept, and the experience in the end is terrible. It's very hard to use with frozen fruit, since the ingredients get stuck to the top.

"If you have the right use case and expectations this cup works great...." Read more

"Love it! The very first time I tried it for a test run, it did not work. Loosening the jar seemed to make it work, which was weird...." Read more

"...The customer service experience is top notch and super effective, especially given it’s black Friday week...." Read more

"Couldn’t figure out why it didn’t work. They sent new one before I returned it. Turned out I wasn’t screwing tumbler into base tight enough...." Read more

38 customers mention18 positive20 negative

Customers are mixed about the size of the food blender. Some mention it's very useful for small size work like dip or for indian spice, and convenient to make nut butters, dressings, chop onions, celery, etc. However, others say that the size is too small that it heats up during the blending process, it didn't even fit their Vitamix, and slightly too small for making common dips and sauces like pesto. The cup is smaller and narrower, so the order of ingredients is important.

Customers are mixed about the blending of the food blender. Some mention that it's great for blending salsas or compound butters, and great for smoothies and blended drinks. However, others say that the bowl is present and will not blend, it'll be hard to get similar blending results, and the Vitamix itself but the Blending cup can be a nightmare.

"...It was pretty easy to detect, blend, without any difficulties. No leaks, it takes a bit of torque to tighten and to loosen...." Read more

22 customers mention15 positive7 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the food blender. Some mention it's very easy to use, with a small learning curve, and convenient to make small batch of salsas. However, others say that it'd be difficult to use and frustrating.

9 customers mention0 positive9 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the appearance of the food blender. They mention that it has a poor design, which makes it impossible to use. Some say that the lids design is poor and does not allow for easy pouring. They also mention that the shape of the product is terrible and it traps food. Some customers also mention the box arrived unsealed and the cup looked used.

"...These cups definitely have a design flaw. Vitamix, be grateful for the 3 stars I awarded you on this review. I'm showing grace at this point...." Read more

"The box arrive unsealed the cup looked used and the plastic inside has cuts through it deep enough liquid can get in the air space between layers,..." Read more

"...It is a terrible shape that traps food, especially frozen fruit or berries at the end away from the blades, and also creates a vortex that only..." Read more

"Really almost impossible to use and poor design. They should just make something that fits on the blender in one piece that's small...." Read more

Works well with A2500
5 Stars
Works well with A2500
It comes with two containers, two screw-on lids, and one screw-on blade attachment. We use it for restaurante-style salsa, salad dressing, chimichurri... stuff like that. I bet apple sauce and purees etc would work just as well. The portion size is small but that's the point.SIMPLE to use. At first the Vitamix A2500 didn't recognize it but I tightened the lid slightly and it worked fine. Obviously you need a tight seal for a blender item to not leak. I appreciate that the Vitamix sensor helps verify this.I also bought the single-serving smoothie container and this blade fits that as well. So to get both, just buy one full kit (with a blade) and the other container. No need to buy a full kit of each.
