Customer Reviews for Vitamix - 48-ounce Blending Container - Clear

We bought our Vitamix about 4 years ago and I'm replacing the container for the third time. Anyone that uses their Vitamix on a regular basis, as I do, know that eventually it clouds up and looks downright disgusting. And possibly unsafe as old food can get trapped in the buildup no matter how well you clean it. Other than that I do like my Vitamix and use it daily so while I feel like this is an issue that should be addressed by the company I wouldn't live without my Vitamix.
Pros: Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power

This container is the perfect size. I love the height of this container because I am on the short size and this height is not as high as the regular one. It holds all I need to for a one-person drink or soup use. I love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Got a great deal on the 48-ounce container on Black Friday! This is the perfect container for most people as the the giant 64-ounce container is simply too big. Most people don't make smoothies, etc. that are more than 24-32 ounces so this is why I think the 48-ounce container hits a sweet spot. Plus, when it's on the base, it can be stored on the counter fitting perfectly under the cupboards taking up less counter space! It's a must have!

The 48 oz. container is far superior when it comes to making small batches. This is because the tapered, narrower base makes it easy for this container to create a vortex with less ingredients than is necessary with the 64 oz low profile containers. In addition, the 48 oz container is large enough for all but the largest of recipes.
I really wish all Vitamix blenders came with the ability to choose which size container that you prefer. My dream combo would be an A3300 blender with the tall thin classic 64 oz. container that comes with the 5200. I realize that the Classic 64 oz. container does not work with Ascent blenders; I just wish that it did.

I bought this a month ago and LOVE it! My original container was double the size and this works much better for me when making my daily shakes. Plus it isn't as loud when mixing, which my husband appreciates!

I've had my vitamin for 20+ years and love it. I started making delicious a healthy muffins with chia seeds, zucchini and cocoa powder. The chia seeds are pulverized and the batter is smooth as silk! But scooping it out of my tall container was difficult. This size and shape has made it so much easier to access all the batter and get those yummy cupcakes in the oven!

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...
Pros: Easy to use, Power

This is the second container I buy for my Vitamix. Since I had one of the old models I was using the 32 oz. container but this one is 48 oz. and it is perfect for my husband and I and I use it every si hike day. Great quality and easier to clean.
