It’s like having a new vita mix again!! My daily smoothies stain the container over the years.

I have had a vitamix for about 8 years. This lid doesn't seal and it is much cheaper the my old picture.

I bought this for making smaller quantities of sauces so it fits my needs. I agree with other reviewers that the hollow handle seems cheap considering the price. They also stain very easily from beets and turmeric. Overall it fits my needs.

just barely couldnt fit under cabinet. had to return and order a 32oz. annoying because i measured it and it would have not been a problem at all if the measurements online were accurate. however though, the quality of the containers in general are the best in the business.

Disappointed with container

I use my vitamix everyday but very disappointed with the plastic container. After a year or so it becomes stained and cloudy and looks just terrible. Honestly I'm ashamed to let it on my counter for others to see. Too bad it has a plastic blender jar that doesn't stay clear. And it's very expensive to replace. Also start/stop switch is broken already.
Pros: Easy to use, Power

Hi! The container can sometimes form a film or cloudiness from the minerals in the healthy fruits and vegetables we blend in our Vitamix. When this occurs, we recommend pouring equal parts of water and white vinegar into the container. Let the container soak in an upright, standing position for several hours, then pour the contents out and use a soft pot scrubber to clean the inside of the container. Please be cautious when cleaning around the blade assembly. Also, please keep in mind that it may take several attempts before the staining/discoloration is completely removed. Also please call us about your switch so we can get that resolved for you, 1-800-8482649.

Disappointed.

I have a 19 year old Vitamix 5000 base- that is STILL GOING STRONG! YAY VITAMIX!! However, my original container got cloudy and I decided to upgrade- and went with the 48 oz container about a year ago. The blending is fine, but this container is a mess to use. The pour spout is wide and flat and no matter how carefully I try to pour out my shakes - this thing manges to drip, drip, drip. The other issue is the lid. It's cumbersome to take off and put back on....which also makes a mess. Maybe the smaller container is part of the problem - not sure- but if the lid is not no perfectly on and locked down- stuff is flying out the spout and sides. I never had these issues with original container. The old container and old lid were the bomb! Just wonderful. The new style - just aweful. I really wish I had just bought the original style container as a replacement. Lesson learned!!
I want to end this review by stating that I love my Vitamix and use it almost every day - much more than any other item in my kitchen- so I highly recommend the Blenders. I just don't like this particular style of container.

Interior scratches and gets cloudy
on January 9, 2017

We have had our Vitamix for 2 years and we love it. The only problem is the interior or the plastic container scratches and gets cloudy making it visibly unattractive. Only dish detergent is used to clean it. We only use vegetables in the blender and avoid seeds and acidic substances such as lemons. I'm not sure why this interior deterioration occurs. If you could make a glass or Pyrex container that would be wonderful. But the plastic just doesn't compare with the quality of the machine.
Pros: Durability
I would recommend this to a friend!

cloudiness forms on container after only 4 weeks

Within a month of using the new vitamix container it started to get cloudy around the bottom
and with each passing week it shows more and more cloudiness on the sides, and I've only been using it for a total of 6 weeks. I have been cleaning it per instructions after each use, but it doesn't help. This is the reason I bought a replacement, my last container got so bad I couldn't read the measurements. I purchased my vitamix blender over 10 years ago, and many friends have seen me use it and loved the smoothness of the smoothies I made for them and then went on to purchase one for themselves. But I just cannot continue to recommend the blender anymore, because the container is too much of an issue. It starts to look grubby on the countertop. And they're not cheap to replace.
