I have had my Vitamix for many years. This is my first experience with the smaller container. I like it very much because I only use it for myself. It's handy and easy to clean.
It's perfect! I wish I had gotten this size container years ago. It's plenty big enough for everything I need, and I find the shorter size and wider mouth make it much easier to get food from the bottom. I my mixer a lot more now that it's easier to use. The new crystal clear acrylic looks very nice even after many uses.
Pros: Speed of Service, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
