it cracked
I have had other Vitamix for more than 10 years and never had any problems with it, then I bought a newer model and this container fell down after 3 years and cracked, now it is useless.

Blender stops detecting container.
I'm on my 3rd 48 ounce container. The self detect keeps breaking. Vitamix has replaced the containers each time. Most recent replacement lasted less than a year. This is not something I expected from Vitamix. The self detect gimmick should be abandoned.

Just No
Save your money! I really wanted to like this container because of its small size, and I needed a container this size, but this container really does the blender a disservice. I've made different things in this container, trying different ingredients, and it just doesn't blend them properly. Sometimes, I have to run the blender for almost two minutes, and even then, there are still chunks left over. I've used the tamper more than ever, and still, there is not much difference. My old cheap blender worked better than this one. Even mixing dry protein powder with liquid is impossible. I end up with lumps or dry powder on the side of the container. I honestly don't understand this container. I ended up using my larger one for most things, which defeats the purpose of why I purchased this one. I did notice that the container moves a bit on the blender when it starts and I have to hold it in place, and even still, it doesn't change its performance. What a shame!

Game Changer to Use Vitamix
Ordering and using this smaller container is a game changer for me. The 64 oz container that cones with the Ascent series was so large for everyday smoothies. Now that I purchased the smaller container, smoothies are a breeze snd i don’t dread handling the container and I therefore want to use it more.

Excellent addition to my Vitamix
I am so happy to have this slightly smaller size container for my spicy red Vitamix. The larder container it came with sometimes was just too big for my recipes and this one is perfect. Especially since there are only 2 of us in the house and I'm cooking just for myself frequently as well. Excellent product!

Better for smoothies
Wish this was the default size because the 64 oz is awful unless you’re blending for a ton of servings. It’s great for smoothie bowls because I don’t have to add so much liquid just to make a small bowl.

Prefect size for my household
I got it as a gift and I used it more than I used the container that come with my vitamix A3500. It was just the prefect size for me to use.

Nice Smaller Size to Blend
Love the smaller container since it mixes up smaller batches better. Also, do not need to clean up a larger container.

Great Gift
I bought the 48 oz container as a “Welcome to the Vita-mix community” gift for a friend who just bought an A 3500. She absolutely loves the 48 oz as much as I love mine. Great size and versatile container.

Has to be filled for cleaning to work
This container is mostly great. My one complaint is that for the self-cleaning feature, I have to fill it with water all the way to the top line. That's the only way the water will reach the lid and properly clean the container. With the 64-ounce container, this was not an issue -- halfway full was enough.

Perfect size
I found the container that came with my blender too big but this size is perfect. Wish there was an option to include this size when purchasing.

GREAT size for smaller amounts
Wonderful size for an elderly couple as opposed to the standard 64 0z. We love this container and use it almost exclusively.

Vitamix grain container
The container has scratch marks just after one use.
1 reply from HHCC team - 4 years ago
Hi there. The Vitamix containers do not release any plastic particles during the blending process. Though it appears as scratches when looking at the container, the marring you see is simply a cosmetic denting of the plastic. The material is not being carved away, as the markings you see are just minor indentations in the plastic. Your container is safe to continue to use. Also, it is perfectly safe to blend ice and other frozen ingredients in your container.

Self detect is a key factor in purchasing this. Love the feature!
