This container is ideal for small and large batches of juice and soup. It is sturdy and allows for the fine blending of fruits and vegetables. I use it to prepare delicious watermelon and carrot juices. This is perfect for a delicious potato leek soup.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Power
So happy I got a new container. I didn't realize how dull my previous container's blade had gotten over the years from multiple daily, ice-grinding, frozen-banana-smoothie, vegetable pureeing, and delicious soup-making use. I will upgrade my containers on a regular basis from now on. Plus, the new containers have a newer handle, and the plastic shines more clear and looks so much nicer than my older, used one.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Power
It's unfortunate because the machine itself is durable but the containers are not. I keep having to re purchase this because they simply don't last and the warranty is too short. You need to do better for an American made product.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback. We will certainly pass it along to our team.
I absolutely love my Vitamix blender. I have the classic original one and have had it 18 years? I hope it can keep going strong because it definitely is a work horse. I only need to replace the container because I was putting it in the dishwasher. But I won’t be making that mistake again. Looking forward to getting the dry blender container next!
