we have had this new container about 5-6 weeks ago and we love it! The best thing is it does not get discolored and ugly from coffee stains or whatever we put in it and can keep it on the counter and it's not an eyesore now. ALSO you can get the food out of the bottom without having to have a child's hand! We love it!
This container is humongous. I just ordered the smaller container for my blender because I can see people commenting saying you get a better blend if you're only making serving sizes for 1-2 people. I am only making servings for myself and my partner. You can tell that this container is such great quality. I love it! The snap on lid have never failed me. The only time it leaks is when suds of soap come out from the top when Im cleaning it.

This pitcher is the most expensive model they sell and you can’t even remove the blades. It’s terrible for any blends less than 32fl.oz. The worst part is the “Detect” feature forcing you to buy this if you need a replacement for your Ascent series blender.

We apologize for any confusion about our containers. The blades in this container are not meant to be removed. The low profile 64 ounce container does require that you blend at least 3-4 cups of ingredients in order to cover the blades and prevent splashing. If you would like to be able to blend smaller quantities with your Ascent machine, we recommend investing in the 48 ounce with Self-Detect. You can return the 64 ounce container for a full refund within 30 days of purchase. Our customer care team would be happy to assist you with this. You can reach us at 1-800-848-2649.
I purchased a couple extra containers for my Vitamix to make additional items so I could just leave it in the container and re mix it when needed. Works great. Shipping was prompt and packaged excellent.
