Vitamix - 48-ounce Standard Container - none

My Vitamix 5200 came with the tall 64oz container which has worked great for so many recipes. But I wanted a low-rise container for smaller batch recipes and especially for hummus. I'm very happy with the 48oz container. The wider opening is helpful and access is even easier for scraping out all the blended goodness.

The machine is much louder than our first generation blender!!! The container is way wider causing more of a mess inside it when blending smaller amounts of material. Using the accessory smoothie cups are too narrow and don't allow you to put very much material in the cup. Additionally, you have to mount the cup while holding the mounting cradle upside down, (bad idea!) and will probably be a waste of money because I do not see myself using it very much. Frankly I wish I would have never bought a new Vitamix and kept my old one that I had four over 10 years!!! :(

It’s still new, and I haven’t used it much, but so far it works fine and fits on countertop under the upper cabinets. I don’t expect to have issues with it. I like that it’s shorter than my tall 64 oz container making it easier to remove thick contents.

My husband purchased our Vitamix for our 5th anniversary, and it have never been taken off the counter. It originally came with the tall canister, and recently we've moved the base under our low cabinets. So this shorter container is a perfect fit! And I find it's a little easier when making smaller batches of things, than the taller version. Clean up is still a breeze!

I am so glad I purchased this container. It now allows me to store my Vitamix on the counter. It's also perfect for making smaller portions. I still kept my tall container, which I need for soups and larger batches of stuff, but the smaller container is so helpful to have. What took me so long to buy it?
