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

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.

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.
