I’ve had my vitamix for nearly 10 years and use it hard. The new container seems way overpriced to me (so I put off buying it for a long time) but now that I have it my vitamix feels brand new. I use is almost daily. It’s soooooo much quieter.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
Some older blending ideas are just better than new

This is my favorite container. I sold my original 5200 thinking newer was better. It turned out to be newer is different. I blend small amounts that end up all over the inside the larger and wider based 64oz container. With the exception of making nut butters which are very hard to remove from this container's narrow bottom, this is my first choice for blending efficiently and effectively.
Original container bearing froze after 20+ years of use. New container fit the older motor and performed as expected of a new replacement.Over two weeks waiting for the order to arrive.
Works as expected to replace an old container that had been damaged. I checked QVC, where I originally purchased the machine and not only was their price not better, shipping was an additional cost. Ordering it direct was less inexpensive and the piece arrived in a timely fashion without any damage. I do wish these were less expensive...
