The same plastic quality as original container. Recommended amount at one time is 1 cup for 1 minute at highest speed. Does great job turning anything into powder. There is nothing better than the smell of freshly milled warm flour.
Pros: Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
The 48 oz dry blades container (self detect model) pairs with my vitamix 3500 to make wonderful, fresh flour for my baking. Also I am in control of the consistency. I also use it to grind legumes for soup. Note: Split pea powder can only be added to steaming liquid or it tastes bitter. Great for instant split pea soup.
Pros: Programability, Durability, Easy to use, Versatility, Power
