  1. Mookie

    These attachments are great when you only want to blend a small quantity

  2. nickname

    Great dispensers . Conveinant to store in the fridge or bring along with you

  3. Saki

    I like vitamin and Best Buy offered the best price for also free shipping.

  4. Tnalsjsbe

    This product matches with the Vitamix blender so it’s easy to use this to blend things up and take it on the go. It’s lightweight and easy to clean after you’re done with it.

  5. Bling

    The Vitamix – Blending Cup Starter Kit for Vitamix Ascent Series Blenders are a great addition for the Vitamin Blender.

  6. Split92

    Only problem is when tightening. Sometimes you don’t know how hard. The vitamix won’t start if it isn’t tight enough

  7. CountryGirl

    Just whip up the beverage and go. I work full time, several part time side hustles, raise chickens, garden and grow as much food as I can. Having tools that help me utilize what I grow to make healthy drinks is one of my many wellness goals.

    A great device for the Vitamix blender, I purchased the blender starter kit and added the small blending cups since they both work using the same blending attachment.

    I’m looking forward to years of use.

  8. LynnC

    This is a great size for a single drink (many are too large or too small). The hoop makes it east to carry out to the car with other items…rather than it taking up a whole hand. The shape is perfect for a car cup-holder and fits well in the hand-grasp.

  9. Ruthie

    Well, first it’s small for my use. The blades are not as good the actual blender. It’s hard to close and open. Because you have to closed tight in order for this to work. For me needs some improvement in shape for the container and the blade base.

  10. MattinPA

    I got these for the ascent 3500. They work great. It works almost too good as it whips the frozen fruit down to liquid that I wish I could fit more.

  11. Zoikers

    The containers work well for blending with a high quality feel.

  12. Migzhasbite

    Didn’t do my DD and bought this thinking it would fit on my older Vitamix model. Oops, bought the wrong one. Pretty pricey mistake.

  13. Heyall

    These containers for perfectly with the vitamin 3500 blender. Designed for drinks to go, I make a smoothies and then I am ready!

  14. Gotmilkbabycakes

    Followed the instructions for adding stuff to the blender to make protein blended smoothies, while it blends well, stuff gets stuck in the narrow end. Multiple attempts for blending. I thought it would save time rather than using a full sized blender.

  15. Tito2020

    The best Blending Cup has made easy to use and convenient for everyone

  16. Roads

    Great for grab and go shakes when you are in the move.

  17. Juan

    Must have accessory should not go without it , will enhance your Vitamix experience

  18. Mike

    The only pro is the “to-go” aspect of the cups. First, the blade is not as good as the main blender’s, paying $60 for each cup, I expect the blade too be just as good. I usually have to shake the cup, blend it on the smoothie mode 3 times for the smoothie to be a smooth form. If they were cheaper, the quality would make sense but it doesn’t. You’re better off using the main blender, pouring it in your own to go cup & washing the blender.

  19. Xd9er

    Vitamix is awesome, these 20 oz blender cups just add to the list of reasons why Vitamix is the best.

  20. apple

    works as described, blends everything well, consistent

  21. Naib

    Just the right size or small batch, shakes/smoothies, chutney. The jar won’t be recognized if lid not tight enough.

  22. Fitbitfangaa

    Bought the set to have more cups and an additional head

  23. Hank

    Bought this along with the Vitamix for my daughter. They love it

  24. Ktm1

    Loving them. I’m able to fix my own smoothie or store multiple servings or different drinks.

  25. luckybianca

    I like how the attachments for this series are easy to use and attach to the blender. I haven’t used the cups yet, but the size seems good enough. I purchased these with the bowls since they both use the same blender attachment.

  26. terr

    nice accessorie to go along with the Vitamix. Great for blending & go

  27. Pilotattitude

    Why four? This is well built, like industrial feel. This is great to make single shakes, smoothies or just whipping up some salsa. I usually make a breakfast smoothie for breakfast before work and there is little cleanup since I take the container with me. So, onto the 4 stars well numerous times I find myself fiddling with the setup to have it recognize that it’s a valid unit. So I have to take it off and replace it back on a couple of times before it agrees, then it works seemlessly.

  28. kjt3

    This in theory is great, however, it is difficult to align the lid up perfectly so the base recognizes the blade, and can be very frustrating. 

  29. appleboy

    Honestly, this is a tricky one to use. You have to align the small arrows on the lid and cup to make sure it gets detected. Otherwise you cant even blend. It stays loose by doing it and if you use water, it would spill out. No happy with the design at all.

  30. sharrisinc

    Nice build quality and really makes single-serve easier.

  31. WCBill

    We have really struggled to get these to work. Nothing mixes properly in them. Very dissapointed.

  32. JWhitt

    Excellent quality, the smart base takes all the guesswork out of making a smoothie. Just pop the ingredients in and let the blender do all the thinking for you. Smooth and consistent, the travel lids also make prepping and taking delicious, healthy smoothies on the go a breeze.

  33. Mona13

    Excellent product. Good quality. Amazing performance.

  34. Grace

    I bought this product in order to get some convenience in handling, but turned out it was way inconvenient to use than Vitamix’s bigger containers. The design of the container is awful. Unnecessarily long and too narrow at the top which makes the cleaning also difficult. The blade base is also very heavy. When you rotate the container on the blades base to close before starting blending, you have to put more than normal amount of force on the container to rotate on the machine. This rotation is not smooth. In general, I didn’t find anything good about this product.

  35. Gustavo

    I bought this on May 2020, and now it stopped detecting the blender. I’ll contact support to find solutions. Bummer.

    When it worked, I found you can’t put too many things inside and when placing frozen fruit, it should be in small pieces or you should let them stand for a couple of minutes as to defrost it with the liquid inside to soften the fruit.

  36. tina

    Love these tumblers. They work fantastically with the vitamix product

  37. dam379

    This completes the blender and accessories for our Vitamix blender. Couldn’t be any happier. Everything is solid, well made, easy to use.

  38. HighSpender

    Vitamix blending cup is conveniently easy to use. Just blend and go.

  39. Lizeemotoe

    These cups were frustrating and a pain at first. I wanted to take them back. But I emailed the company and they said that there is an arrow on the blade and an arrow on the cup that you have to match up to each other before you start screwing them together. Then tighten the arrow on the blade past the metal part on the cup. Then the blender bass will recognize that the cup attachment is sitting on it. And it will let you blend your drink.

  40. Brrrrrrr

    I bought these for my wife. She uses them to make smoothies on a daily basis. She had been using a ninja individual blender prior to this purchase. The volume of the cups is pretty small. The narrow base seemed to limit the ability to adequately blend thick smoothies that the Ninja had no issues with. She doesn’t even bother using them after being repeatedly frustrated. These were a complete waste for her.

  41. Happymom

    I’m not thrilled by the way it works. I thought this would be better than ninjas, but it’s pretty much the same. Too big the price difference.

  42. Jjjj

    A must have if you own a vitamix blender and use it for personal smoothies or meals

  43. Shea

    Eh, they’re ok. I think you’re money would be better spent buying a couple insulated water bottles and using the blender that comes with he Vitamin. If this seems like your type of thing, I can say that it works. The tops are really good too.

  44. Willy

    Vitamix is awesome! The mixer and various cups are great for just about anything you can imagine! Highly recommend!

  45. ggreally

    I love these cups. You have to remember to do the fruit and solids first before the greens and seeds that way it blends easier. Also, I noticed to put a little water in after the fruit and then top it off after the greens too that way it blends everything no problem. Might need a little shake in between but works great. Only issue is you have to really tighten the blade lid for machine to recognize and makes it really hard to untwist off.

  46. Pokemon

    The cup is beautifully designed. You can prepare your morning smoothies/drinks with ease without having to pull out your Vitamix container and reducing any waste on your blends; perfect for a one person drink. Quick and easy to clean, in addition to being dish washer safe.

  47. PlayThatStation

    These cups are top quality! My wife loves Vitamix so when I got her a new Blender for Mother’s Day and saw these cups, I knew it was a big win. They work great, and definitely feels sturdy. Not cheap plastic or worried about leaking.
    One thing to note. There are two arrows that need to match up for the blender to read it properly. I think a lot of people miss this and get frustrated it’s not working.

  48. Excellent

    Good Blender cups. Much needed for anything on the go!

  49. YZBOY250

    This I thought would be a great purchase but it broke within days of the warrantee expiring. The bearings in the blade housing froze up. After some research I found out that the bearings are the same bearings that you find on a skateboard. Very disappointed.

  50. Graphedin

    Had to return, they wouldn’t work with my Ascent 2500 Vitamix even though they were supposed to.
