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.
For years I struggled with shoving my wonderful Vitamix back under my "too low" cabinets! The taller container always had to be placed separately next to the base, no room for it to sit on top! I highly recommend this shorter container if you have low cabinets, it even seems to blend more thoroughly....so glad I purchased this
I love the 48-oz jar because it has a smaller footprint and works great when I am working with smaller quantities of food for daily cooking. It has a broader base so easier to get to the bottom of the jar as well. As all Vitamix products, it is sturdy and well-constructed. I am glad I bought it!
I love the size of this container but it seems that it does not work well with the base and I prefer the 64oz container better
Pros: Easy to use, Power
