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
Done grinding twice and the jar is developing scratches and foggy appearance. Quality of the grind is good but wish the quality of the material used was also as good.
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
It's a good size. It's great for chopping smaller batches of stuff.
I'm not too happy with the flour tho... its gritty, even if I freeze the grains first and sift. The bread comes out like a brick. I bought to make flour, and I get the same results from the wet container.
I do like the smaller size tho. I took away a star because it didn't work for the reason I bought it.
Pros: Durability

We bought this dry containers for dry goods and so far it's been working fantastic! Blends things down to a powder really well, we're happy to have this one specifically for dry things, especially how dry goods sometimes can make scratches on the container so we have one container just for that.
