I bought this to replace an off-brand one that kept leaking. We had to replace the bearings about every three to six months. This Vitamix brand works great. It is retaining its clearness, blending like a champ, and the best part of all - it's guaranteed for three years! yay!
The bearings went in my old container. This container works great! Please do not stop making the classic container. I like the taller container more than the shorter wide container.
This is the best container that was made. The fact that it is narrow and deep pulls the food to the blade. It makes peanut butter with no complaint. Grinds up an entire container full with no problem.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Versatility, Product features, Power
After several years of (ab)use, we had to replace our blender top. Vitamix made it simple, and the new, less worn top has revitalized our countertops and our smoothy making.
This is great for larger recipes. My Vitamix came with the 48 oz container. But when I wanted to make a big batch of hummus, I needed the larger one. I called Vitamix, they told me what to order and I am good to go with any recipe. I love my Vitamix! It’s such a big help in the kitchen!
