So So for scraping under the blade. It's a difficult place. It is however great for scraping the sides as it is not too wide to fit the shape of the sides and it is shaped nicely for removing the contents rather than moving them round and round the the interior.
This scraper is helpful yes. Will it last long? Probably not. I read the reviews before purchasing and now that i've used it once I'm just wondering if this is the BEST that Vitamix has to offer? It is constructed of a soft silicone type material that will in no doubt be cut by the very blade it intends to clean under. You have to gingerly maneuver this scraper as not to damage it. I thought it would be a time saver allowing me to clear out those hard to reach food remnants but i'm more concerned about getting chunks of plastic in my remains. I honestly don't know if the tool is worth it and how long it will last.
Not putting full blame on the Scraper, but, I am not having much success in using it. Lol! Rather comical for me because it shouldn't be this hard. Doesn't seem to want to get underneath the blades and close enough to the joint to scrape any food particles that may be trapped. Looking for a tutorial. Lol! Very sturdy though. Would like the blade to be a little smaller or thinner to fit better under the blades and get into the groove of the joint under the blade.
Pros: Speed of Service, Texture Quality, Durability, Easy to use, Power
I like to use my Vitamix when I make pea soup with carrots, celery, onions, whole herbs, etc., i.e., lots of chunky stuff. I also like not having to put the hot cooked peas and other veggies through a sieve to puree them. The Vitamix easily makes all the hot ingredients really smooth and creamy. However, since the resulting soup is thick, it doesn't totally empty out of the container by itself. To the rescue - the Under Blade Scraper that doesn't miss a delicious drop! I love the way it cleans around the blades.

Love everything Vitamix. The smoothies we make every day have kept our family in good health for years. This helps remove the last bits of thick foods, like nut butters.
