This is high quality and will last a long time! I accidentally cracked my old one so needed a replacement, because I use mine on a daily basis for smoothies.
Sharp, crisp, works like a charm! We've had our 5000 for 15 years or so, and the containers do wear out.... Fortunately, the replacement parts are even better than the originals.
Pros: Programability, Durability, Versatility, Product features, Power
I bought this replacement container for my Vitamix TNC. I have had this machine for over 10 years and have used it daily, often more than once a day. Inevitable the old container gave up and I needed a replacement.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Recipe Enhancement, Product features, Power
I bought my Vitamix about a year ago and just recently started using it more. However, for the price you pay for the blender, one would think that the quality of it would be up to par. Unfortunately, the container seems to get stuck and doesn’t blend well unless I keep stirring the ingredients myself throughout. So far, I have only made smoothies and even that seems to be a struggle.
Pros: Easy to use

Vitamix is designed to be run on the highest speed your unit has for the majority of the recipes you are blending. Therefore, make sure you are processing on the highest speed to get the best performance from your product. Additionally, thicker blends will require the assistance of the tamper. The tamper directs food downward into the blades in order to prevent air pockets from forming, which occurs most commonly with thicker blends. We recommend giving these tips a try the next time you are making a thicker recipe to see if the performance improves!
