I bought the replacement container because I didn't take care of the other one like the manual said. Now, I know better and this will last me a long time!
I recently replaced the 64 oz. container for my Vitamix due to a crack in my old container. Online ordering made it a breeze and I received it approx. 7-10 days later. I use this at least 3-4 times/day making smoothies, sauces, dressings, etc. for meals. It is a Classic I can't live without!!
I bought this a month ago, and I am so glad I did. It has helped me to make soups that I couldn't make in the smaller one due to the capacity, and I was surprised to discover that it made the use of it much quieter than while using the smaller one.
I love the vitamix, My husband and I use it every day, however, using a lot of green veggies etc has discolored the container over a period of 9 months. Have you thought of providing a glass container?
