I got this to make whipped cream and drinks. Haven’t tried much other than strawberry lemonade and mojitos. My family loves the lemonade and swears it’s better than the restaurant kind they always buy. Very happy with this container.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Product features, Power
I recently received the new Aer Disc container and it is fantastic! Since I've had it, I made hot chocolate with the sugar free mini chips, I have muddled with it to make incredible fruit drinks.....I haven't used it for everything yet because I haven't had it long enough.....I am really looking forward to making those delicious fruit waters in the summer....I did make the strawberry lemonade and that was so yummy! I highly recommend this new container....I have had my Vitamix for 8 years and this was a terrific addition...it is a great concept and it works!
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Product features, Power
I bought the Aer container for the foaming feature. It’s perfect for making my favorite lattes. It makes a much better latte than the original vitamix container. I like the bonus of being able to make mayos and dressings.
Actually, I don't really get the unique features of the Aer, maybe it is a bit pass my culinary capabilities. I just feel like I have two separate pitchers now--one with sharp pointed blades and the other with rounds ones.
Pros: Other

The container with blades will purée, chop, grate and grind while the Aer Disc will master whipping, muddling, foaming, and emulsifying. 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.
