Poor design
I just don't understand why the Vitamix has to have such a convoluted design to make a smoothie or protein drink. I used my Ninja for years until the motor finally burned out. Rather than buy a new one, I decided to just use my Vitamix. When I saw this, I started to rethink my decision. The base of the cup is so narrow. Things get stuck and it is hard to get a good idea of how much you have in the container. I think that this shape contributes to my protein shake often having lumps in the middle. Also, when I try to unscrew the cup from the container, I have to hold it against myself. This can lead to getting food on myself since there often tends to be some spillage into the container. For a quality blender like Vitamix my impression is Vitamix, Do Better!

Not dishwasher safe!
I put it in the dishwasher, it came out looking like a painting by Salvador Dali. It was on the bottom rack, that was probably my mistake, but I thought it was dishwasher safe so I put it where I had room.
From Vitamix team
Hi, we are sorry to hear of your experience. We do recommend top-rack only and avoid using any heat dry or high temperature scrub/sanitize cycles, they get very hot. Please call us at 1-800-848-2649, so we can further assist you.

Exceptional among the rest!
I've had my professional 750 machine for about 8 years and love it! Simply a power horse and for those who want more than a basic blender. This is designed for those who want to learn more and get the best results!

Red gasket/seal needs replaced.
I purchased several years ago and use it almost everyday to make my protein smoothie. Works great but over time the red gasket/seal is not holding up causing problems with the seal. Wish I could replace just the red gasket/seal. Otherwise I would give it a 5 star rating.

Useless if you use ice
Specifically bought the 750 blender because it was compatible with these personal use cups. We are unable to make a smoothie in these cups, which was the whole purpose. It gets stuck on a few cubes of ice for a smoothie. We have not used them since the first week of attempts. Waste of money. We would have purchased the higher end newer blender models had we known the personal cup was useless.

Okay but would not buy again
I was so excited to get this attachment because of how frequently I make smoothies. I thought it would make the process and clean up more efficient but found this to be more cumbersome to use and clean that I barely reach for it. It doesn't blend as well if you want thicker smoothies and it leaks everytime you unscrew it. The only pro is that the same bottle you used to blend in can be taken on the go due to the cap. I would have returned it but I thought I would have loved it so I didn't try it out until closer to the end of the return window and then missed the window by a few days when I realized.

Personal Cup adapter - Not satisfied
I am very disappointed with the 20 oz Personal Cup. The blending performance is nowhere near what I expected from Vitamix. Food tends to get stuck at the far end of the blades and often remains unblended, requiring frequent stopping and shaking of the container to achieve acceptable results. Another major drawback is the design of the cup itself. The bottom is very narrow, making it difficult and inconvenient to clean thoroughly, especially after blending thicker ingredients. In contrast, the standard 64 oz container performs exceptionally well. It delivers the powerful, smooth, and consistent blending quality that Vitamix is known for. I have had excellent results with the 64 oz container and find it significantly more effective and user-friendly. Based on my experience, I would not recommend the 20 oz Personal Cup. Vitamix should seriously reconsider the design and performance of its small single-serve container, as it falls far short of the high standards set by the company’s full-size containers.

No good
Odd design. Doesn’t blend well nothing like the fill size blender.
From Vitamix team
Hi, thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback. It is important to know that because it is not the full-sized container and you do not have the ability to use the tamper, it is going to blend differently. You will want to layer the opposite way you would in the full-sized container so that when you turn the cup upside down the heavy ingredients will then be at the top, pushing the other ingredients down to the blades.

Doesn’t work the majority of the time
Even though it stated that it is compatible with my Vitamix, it doesn’t recognize it the majority of the time. It’s bulky, takes up more storage space, awkward to use and just a bad design. The original personal cup blender was much better. It at least worked. What a waste of money…

Vitamix revived
This cup adapter is fantastic! We had given up using our Vitamix as it was so hard to get all the mixture out of the container. We even bought the scrapper for it. It has been sitting on our counter for a few years now. But no we use it everyday to make our smoothies.

It's Great. Smoothest smoothies.
This cup adapter is the first attachment I've purchased for my 7500 since purchasing it renewed in 2013. Vitamix makes excellent products.

CUMBERSOME
The cup adapter is worst design. It is a pain to put on and takae off. Don't understand why it couldn't just be a smaller adapter. When making smoothies it is SO cumbersome to unscrew and shake or mix stuff because even though it is Vitamix , it doesn't really break down frozen fruits very well , without a good amount of liquid. Have been trying to see if I can get a different adapter. Is there one? For such an expensive machine, this should have been thought through a bit more.

Rethink this whole personal cup system!
Vitamix, it's time for a total redesign of the Personal Cup Adaptor. There is a huge market for single serving smoothie and drink making. I know you guys could update this and nail it! Make a system that comes with cups in 2 or 3 sizes. How about 20oz, 24oz and 32oz. Design the blade base to not loosed up while running on the blender base. Make the cups in stainless steel and easier to clean, no interior ridges. Still make plastic cups cause half the folks will buy them. Design a system that give folks options on what to buy as people are very particular with how they use the machine to make their drinks each morning.

Tough to clean
I have been using these cups daily for years. I have a smoothie each morning and love being able to blend it in the cup. What I don’t love is the design of the cup. It here are rigid that run vertically down the inside of the cup, making it impossible to clean the corners down at the bottom of the cup. It’s too narrow to fit my had down in there to scrub appropriately. I have used a large bottle brush, a small bottle brush… I have tried putting different things in the cup and blending to clean, but nothing works. Also with us all ingesting microplastics, I am hoping Vitamix starts rolling out glass container options or stainless steel like the old days.

It's not good for Indian cooking
I purchased this to make Indian chutney in small batches. Vitamix was a replacement for my Indian blender. But we cannot grind small quantities in a Vitamix as they do not have a small 1 1/2 cup to 2 cup jars. When I use the personal cup adaptor it does not grind with minimum water. I also have a Ninja blender and the 18 oz. Power Nutri™ Bowl which does a better job grinding coconut and other drier ingredients because of the built in tamper.
From Vitamix team
We thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback about smaller batches. We hope to have some smaller cups out in the future.

Personal cup adapter needs ALOT of reddesign
My ninja personal blender finally died so I needed a replacement. Since I already have a vitamix, I thought I would buy the personal cup adapter instead of another Ninja. I regret this purchase. This is the worst design I have ever seen for a blender cup. I use this primarily for protein shakes. Because I have liquid in them, one has to put the cup with the blade on with the cup upright. It is extremely difficult and if you don't get it exactly right it will spill all over when you turn it over. Additionally, it is incredibly difficult to remove the cup after blending. I don't know what size hands you have to have to do this comfortably, but I do not have them. I literally dread this experience every morning. Sorry, Vitamix. I love your blenders, but this is a huge miss for me.

Not great for smoothies
Wanted to love this for smoothies (bought it because it was less bulky to bring out/clean) but the fruit always sinks to the bottom and becomes too thick to blend with the liquid. I’ll just stick to the normal blender container.
