I bought this canister because it is billed as under the counter, which I like. It's between the sizes of the full size 8-cup canister and smaller 4-cup one. However I'm disappointed in its performance. Whenever I use a higher speed the contents run out of the spout making a big mess! This doesn't happen with the other canisters unless I over fill them. This canister does that even when only half full. As a consequence, I would not recommend this canister.

Hello, this should not be happening in any of our containers. Please call 1-800-848-2649 for further assistance. We'd be happy to help!
I bought a 32 oz container for my smoothies as soon as I got my Vitamix ,but I guess my batches are larger than most people . I decided to get the 48 oz and see how that was and it is perfect for whipping up about 18 oz of smoothie. With liquid, yogurt, spinach, and frozen fruit it takes up more room than you would think. It also is a great size for all kinds of things that I have tried out in my new 750 . Vitamix has changed my life !!!
I bought my first vitamix three months ago. I have the 64 oz container which I love , but my new 48 oz container is great for smaller task. great product use daily.

I have been using the classic larger size container with my vitamix blender for years and wanted to try out this smaller version for better ease of use for smaller recipes such as sauces and smoothies. I LOVE this size and use it daily. The larger size is great for blending soups, but I prefer this 48 oz size for most uses. Thank you!

A long time devotee of this brand, there are others but this is the one and only, after many years my motor is strong and perfect but the container was "foggy" and part of the base cracked, practical Vitamix sells replacement canisters making it affordable to continue to use a wonderful product. My caution to self, this wider shorter canister is so much easier to use but when washing, my fingers easily get close to the sharp blade...beware. We are enjoying this dependable product for our smoothies every day. Thank you.
I bought my Vitamix 9 years ago and this size wasn’t available. I love it because it’s a perfect size- it’s in between the 32oz and 64oz containers that I own. It also fits under the counter.
I have 4 Vitamix containers. I have been buying them from Texas to California to Oregon and now in Tennessee. Some I have had for over 20 years, and I have enjoyed the luxury of using them all.The value, quality, ease of use all get 5 star ratings. I would recommend any of these products to others who are interested in adding a new flair to your cooking..."kicking it up another notch", as Emeril would say! I like the 48 ounce right now because I am cooking for one person. This is a great in-between size to take care of most of the recipes I am making now. It still works as well as the larger Vitamixes. Something else I like about the 48 ounce container is that it will fit under my cabinets. It's nice to come into the kitchen in the mornings to fix my breakfast shake, and the Vitamix is already there on my counter waiting for me !! But I appreciate all of my Vitamixes. They are wonderful.The next one that I would like to have is the AER machine.
