This device does not make anything that your regular Vitamix container won't do. Lots of money. No added value.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Recipe Enhancement, Power

Unlike a typical blending container, the Aer disc container acts like both a muddler and a cocktail shaker, extracting essential oils and juice, while at the same time chilling drinks without crushing the ice. Liquid ingredients are pulled through small holes in the spinning disc, aerating and emulsifying them, while firmer ingredients like ice, fruit, and herbs are agitated but not puréed. Here are some recipes you may want to try: https://www.vitamix.com/us/en_us/browse/recipes/aer-disc
I feel sad that I used my certificate to buy it. Egg whites won’t whip. Cream won’t whip. I made it cold in the fridge and used it at winter kitchen temperature. The egg whites and cream were cold. Nothing. I made both twice.
Pros: Recipe Enhancement

We're sorry to hear that you are not happy with your purchase. Please email service@vitamix.com or call 800-848-2649 for recipe assistance. It might be something as simple as the quantity you are blending. We'd be happy to help.
Very few recipies included in the book, so far I’ve tried a few, for example the hot chocolate and it works wonderful, it gives you a consistency you won’t be able to achieve with anything else in the kitchen. My kids love it!
I didn’t know for sure how much I’d use this container, but I’m so glad I made the purchase! There are so many cool things I can do with this Aer Container...I’m loving it. I’ve made several recipes from the enclosed booklet that was included. I’ve made the Panna Cotta often, even for company. Everyone loves it! I’m not done experimenting and looking forward to many more great recipes to try and invent. Wish more recipes were available on the Vitamix website. Love the container!
I love this container. I was hesitant to buy it because I wasn't sure I would use it enough, but I use it almost everyday. I make latte's and salad dressing.
