I've had a Vitamix for years but struggled to store it under my cabinets. I decided to invest in the more compact 48 ounce container & am very pleased with performance & storage. I've purchased a Vitamix for each of my grown children when they moved into their own homes; they love them too.
Pros: Speed of Service, Quality, It's Many Uses, Power
I purchase this for smoothies because it appeared that the product would not get stuck along sides while permitting air to funnel down and therafter not mix well. This does not function as proposed and I might have well just used my taller container..........Sorry
Pros: Power, Texture Quality, Easy to use, Durability, Speed of Service, Versatility
I've had it for over a month. I use it everyday. I really wish the measurements were noticeable. They are really hard to see. It would be great if the top of the container had something that would allow you to drink from it without dropping. For when you have a little left and you don't want to have to pour it somewhere.
Pros: Recipe Enhancement, Power, Texture Quality, Programability, Easy to use, Durability, Product features, Speed of Service, Versatility
The reason I purchased this was I wanted to have my blender and container to fit under my counter. So for that reason It's great. It is a little shorter so because of that there's a little more splatter on the lid when blending than the taller 64oz one.
