This container is a replacement for the original that came with the base. The new 48 ounce container is a great size and easier access to the interior.

While we love our Vitamix, it never fit under our counter so it was always work to get it out to use it. This size is wonderful for making smoothies and fits under the counter beautifully! We love it and now use the vitamix 3 times as much as before.
I bought my vitamix container two months ago and am very pleased with the way it performs and how compact it is that it fits very nicely under the cabinet.
