I am loving this one much better than the larger, taller one that came with my Vitamix, because this smaller version has a wider base and doesn't get bogged down like the taller, larger one that has a small base.. However, I think it is very over priced. For crying out loud, why is everything so expensive? I am retired on a fixed income, so this was a luxury for me to spend this kind of money. Guess I will just say it is for my birthday, Mother's Day, and Christmas present to
myself.

The original container was too large for my needs, so I purchased this 48 oz container, and it is perfect!

The container that came with my Vitamix blender had a snug fit. When I bought this slightly smaller container I checked for compatibility, and indeed it does work with my blender. However it has a somewhat loose fit, and I do not like that part of the design.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Power

Hello, all containers should sit flush on top of the motor base, but will have slight movement rotating in both directions. This is by design. When the blades are engaged, depending on the load, the container may shift. Please allow this to happen.

I like the compact size of this container, easier cleanup. But it takes a bit more effort to get food from the bottom corners of the container to go into the blade. The push tool has a harder time reaching toward the bottom corners, I think because of the angle, than the larger container.
Pros: Easy to use, Versatility, Power

The size is good for me. Easier to use than the 64oz. I do not like the hollow handle. Too difficult to clean and dry. The tamper seems a little short if you're trying to make almond butter or hummus.
I have trouble getting a smooth almond butter and
hummus. It's not as easy as it looks on tv.

I am so happy that we purchased the 48 ounce container for our Vitamix. When we purchased our Vitamix 5200, it came with a 64 ounce container and a 48 ounce dry container. We don’t always blend enough to use the 64 ounce cup, so the 48 ounce is the perfect size. We use it almost every night to blend up our protein shakes for dessert. Like all of the other Vitamix blender cups, cleanup is always a breeze. About halfway filled with water, a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid, and about 30 seconds on high and the blender cleans itself!

Have had my blender for 6 years. I purchased this container 1 month ago so it would fit on my base on the countertop. I do like the smaller size that is just right for our daily protein shakes. My biggest complaint is the same as many others, the container is so pretty when it is new, but quickly becomes cloudy and unsightly. In our state, we have very hard water, and if you don't dry every speck of water off immediately, it shows water spots that over time cannot be removed. I try to dry it daily, but sadly, if you are in a rush to get to work and can only rinse it and leave it to air dry, you pay the price. Also, this one has an open top handle which cannot be dried out and even if the rest is still pretty good, the handle has the water spots. I have figured out how to get it dry using a spoon handle and a napkin, but honestly, who has time to go through that process daily? The other complaint is the handle feels flimsy, probably because it is hollow and open on top. It feels like over time, it might actually break with repeated uses. The larger original container has a silicone handle that has a much sturdier feel. Why make it different? Lastly, why can't the container be made with glass? I did read the website's reason that they haven't found a suitable material that meets their standards, but still can't understand why glass wouldn't work on these high power machines. My guess is that the risk of accidental breakage due to glass and the high cost of them means less people would buy them. Maybe a silicone/glass mixture could be created? I wish I was that smart...
