My original container ended up having a spoon left in it and that spoon whipping around broke a hole in the side of the container rendering up useless. I have a blendtec as well but this machine is better. The price is about triple of what it should be for a replacement container, So it gets a 5 star for its quality, but a 2 star for the value for the money.
Pros: Texture Quality, Easy to use, Product features, Power
Excellent product. However plastic worms out and gets dirty over time. Also very expensive. Perhaps some glass mixed with resin would produce better results and in today’s printing age perhaps could be more cost effective.
Pros: Easy to use, Power

Not The Best Container

Since owning this Vitamix Container, I've noticed it always leaves a mess when I use it! The classic containers never left spills and it doesn't seem to be that easy to keep clean. Also it doesn't blend smoothies with the same power and texture as the classic one. I hope Vitamix will come out with a better container than this one. Something as solid as the classic container with a rubber lid or some kind of sturdy lid that out performs this one.

Hi! We are sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your new Vitamix container. Sometimes when customers are used to the old style they find their blends are not the same simply because they need more volume for the blades to grab a hold of. Please call us at 1-800-848-2649, we can give you container options that are the same or very similar to what you were used to using.

Love the machine, but not the container!

I have had my vitamix several years. I love that I can program it, but the container has problems: the handle is hollow and hard to clean, the lid only fits on one way. I liked my ole container much better.
I use my Vitamix daily and this is maybe my fourth or fifth container. Vitamix addressed every user issue with this model. It’s the best I’ve used and makes my 5200 motor more effective. I’m very impressed.
