I had been wanting a smaller container to be able to sit on the counter and neatly under the cupboards. I mainly use my vitamix for daily smoothies and making fresh nut milk. The larger size was not needed. This 48 oz is absolutely perfect for me. The lid doesn’t seal as tightly as the original - but it was so cumbersome. The new lid doesn’t bother me. So happy I finally made the purchase.
After years of having the larger size container, I decided to try the smaller one when I had to replace it.
This was is easier to handle & fits into my cabinet much more easily. I mostly use it for smoothies, & while I make two servings, it would probably hold up to four servings.
I was toying with the idea of purchasing this container for awhile now. Decided to jump in and just do it, and it's one of the best decisions I've made. Most of the time now this is what I use. Other than the capacity being more appropriate, it's easier to clean and fits on the counter top under the cabinets. Perfect size!
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Versatility, Product features, Power
I bought the 48 oz. container as a replacement for the classic container. I've owned the same base for over 10 years. I needed to replace the container as part of the settlement issue. It works almost as well as the taller container; I have to blend my drink a little bit longer. It is so much easier to clean and handle. It's great!
My wife accidentally dropped the last container and the blade fell right through the bottom, was a clean break. But was able to replace the container with little coat. We love our vitamix and plan to make future purchases with this company.
