Soooooooo much more convenient. Fits well on counter, under cupboards. Even goes easily into refrigerator without having to rearrange whole shelve, as I had to with taller version. Easier to get everything all out of container and not waste so much. This should be the standard (not the big tall one that came with orginally).
The 48 ounce size is a convenient size for making smaller batches of smoothies. Clean-up is easier with this size of container and it fits great on the countertop. Definitely recommend!
We purchased the 48 oz container for our Vitamix and use it almost every day. It is just the right size for our family of two and fits nicely under the counter.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Product features, Power
I purchase the 48oz container recently, since the original 64oz one is too high to fit under my current counter. I love the size and it is much easier to clean. However, I have 2 issues. The handle on the container is clear and open at both ends. This makes it very difficult to manual dry. Also, I find that the lower, squatter container doesn't work as well as the tall one when I make peanut butter. It doesn't seem to fully blend the peanuts as easily, but it does clean much better.
