I love this thinner model for making specialty vegan recipees. Many times I need only make 1 cup or less of a product and value the ability to do this with this container.
Realized that the new larger capacity wasn't working for me. Decided to purchase the classic 64 oz. Now I need the longer plunger thing. That would be an reasonable item to include with the product, esp. if not mentioned.
What can I say I love my Vitamix and I wanted to have one for smoothies and one for soups that I use spices that keeps the smell in the mixers lid for awhile so I thought I would get one to have for each type of foods I work with.
I purchased this container after having my previous one for over 10 years and the new blades and features are very nice. I'm extremely happy with my vitamix and can't imagine my kitchen without it!
Ist container lasted 15 years and has developed a few cracks. The replacement has some added features. Still great for smoothes. Using it at least 4 times a week.
I've owned my Vitamix for about 15 years. I have eleven children and we use this machine multiple times a day. We load it up and take it on vacation with us! We can't imagine life without it. It is a tough performer and consistently delivers excellent results. Customer service is fantastic--although, you'll never need it except to order more products!
