I’ve had my vitamix for prob 7 years now, used for a few month period 4-5 times a week until I got frustrated that it would jam and would spin trying to make a simple smoothie. Constantly having to remove lid which was a pain and stir. Used plenty of liquid. Did not overfill. Pitcher quality is poor. Cloudy and stopped leaving it on counter because looked dirty. I agree with others about the plastic quality…finally just bought a nicer looking Bullet Blender.

Great Container.
My daily go to morning smoothie making container. Work's great on my 34 year old Vitamix TNC Blender.

Disappointed.
I have a 19 year old Vitamix 5000 base- that is STILL GOING STRONG! YAY VITAMIX!! However, my original container got cloudy and I decided to upgrade- and went with the 48 oz container about a year ago. The blending is fine, but this container is a mess to use. The pour spout is wide and flat and no matter how carefully I try to pour out my shakes - this thing manges to drip, drip, drip. The other issue is the lid. It's cumbersome to take off and put back on....which also makes a mess. Maybe the smaller container is part of the problem - not sure- but if the lid is not no perfectly on and locked down- stuff is flying out the spout and sides. I never had these issues with original container. The old container and old lid were the bomb! Just wonderful. The new style - just aweful. I really wish I had just bought the original style container as a replacement. Lesson learned!! I want to end this review by stating that I love my Vitamix and use it almost every day - much more than any other item in my kitchen- so I highly recommend the Blenders. I just don't like this particular style of container.

The Perfect Size for Most Jobs
The 48 oz. container is far superior when it comes to making small batches. This is because the tapered, narrower base makes it easy for this container to create a vortex with less ingredients than is necessary with the 64 oz low profile containers. In addition, the 48 oz container is large enough for all but the largest of recipes. I really wish all Vitamix blenders came with the ability to choose which size container that you prefer. My dream combo would be an A3300 blender with the tall thin classic 64 oz. container that comes with the 5200. I realize that the Classic 64 oz. container does not work with Ascent blenders; I just wish that it did.

Perfect size
I have three sizes of containers for my Vitamin, and this is the one I use most often. It is easier to clean than the 64-ounce Container and takes up less space. The 32-ounce container is really easy to store, but it is too small for many of my recipes. The 48-ounce container is the perfect size.

Good size for smaller quantities
I have the tall 64oz container and wanted something a little smaller. This does the trick. Came with the smaller tamper and works great! Love my Vitamix!!

Nice compact size for under-cabinet counters!
I love how versatile this smaller blender container is for storing and using! I never feel like I have to make a smoothie that is over 5 cups when I just want to make the blender blend. Its going strong and I see many years of use to come!

Expected Better
I just recently purchased a new Pro Series 750. Immediately I realized the included 2L container would provide much more capacity than needed so I purchased the .9 and 1.4L containers. The .9L container fits rather nicely on the base (inside the fingers) with just a little play as compared to the 2L. It has a quality feel to it, thick plastic, stable handle, fairly confident seal on the lid. The 48oz however has a lot of play and spins roughly 1/4" on the base when power is applied. Also, the plastic handle is thinner so it has a little play to it as well. It is designed to fit over top of the fingers on the base much like the 2L however the plastic base of the container is more a rounded square and overshoots the fingers on the motor base I was hoping it would seat as nicely as the 2L and have the same quality feel however it doesn't. I don't understand why the 1.4L container doesn't use the same rounded corner concave square base as the 2L. For the price of the container I expect a better design.
