Vitamix - Blender Containers for Legacy Models

Product Notes:

These Eastman Tritan copolyester containers are for use with Vitamix blenders only. They are made in a choice of both container size (32, 48, or 64 oz), and blade type (Wet or Dry, which either pull the ingredients down towards the blades, or push them up and away, respectively), although not all types are still available here. The lids are included, with the full containers.

For the full-size countertop units (G-Series and C-Series), there is also an option to get the 32 ounce version without blades. For containers ordered without blade assemblies, the use of the fitted wrench is recommended for transferring blades (sold separately, but no longer available here).

In addition, a limited number of the 20-ounce Travel Cup containers for the Vitamix S-Series personal blenders are also available here (while supplies last).

Finally, Vitamix has also created two new containers which are compatible with virtually all their full-size machines (except for their Vitamix One model, which can only use its own 32 ounce container): a 48 ounce Stainless Steel container; and a 48 oz Container featuring an Aer Disc rather than blades, which can be used for Emulsifying, Foaming, Muddling, and Whipping. If you are already familiar with these, they are offered for purchase here; otherwise there is more detailed information available on the Vitamix Ascent Containers page.

In addition to the containers and blade assemblies represented here, Aviva also offers a selection of other Vitamix replacement parts and accessories, and a collection of containers for use exclusively with the Vitamix Ascent Series.

About the Evolution and Compatibility of Vitamix Containers

In 2013, Vitamix introduced a new lower profile container design for use with select models. They continue to offer a number of blender models that use their original container design, however.

Vitamix models that use the original taller blender container include (among others): Total Nutrition Center (TNC), 5000 Series, 5200 Series, Turbo 450, Commercial Vita-Prep, Professional CIA Series (Pro 500, Pro 200). All of these models can use the following containers:

• 64 Oz Container (the older, taller design)

• 32 Oz Wet Container. Compatible with full-size Vitamix C-Series and G-Series models and uses the older, longer tamper. Not compatible with Ascent series.

• 32 Oz Dry Container. Compatible with full-size Vitamix C-Series and G-Series models and uses the older, longer tamper (however a tamper is usually not required if you are grinding dry ingredients). Not compatible with Ascent series.

• 48 Oz Wet Container. Compatible with all full-size Vitamix C-Series and G-Series models – and is the only container that comes with its own "mini" tamper. Not compatible with Ascent series. Please note, the blade assembly included with this container is not compatible with other containers.

The 32 oz & 64 oz containers use the original tamper accelerator tool (sold separately), which is longer than the accelerator tool tamper sold with the Pro 300 and Pro 750 machines. The size of the opening in the lid controls how far you can put the tamper into the container, to prevent the tamper from striking the blades.

Vitamix's newer container design (wider 64 oz low profile) is available with the Pro 300 and Pro 750 models. These Professional Series models include a shorter tamper. The shorter tamper for these units cannot be used in any of the older containers. The longer tamper that comes with the older Vitamix blenders cannot be used in the shorter 64 oz container as it will strike the blades.

The newer 64 ounce / 2.0 Litre capacity Low Profile (LP) container and the shorter tamper for it (sold separately) are no longer available here, unfortunately. (This style of container, which is 25.6 cm high and comes with laser-cut, stainless-steel hammermill and cutting blades measuring 10 cm in diameter, comes packaged with both the Pro 300 and 750 Vitamix models, and is also compatible with the G-Series and the Vitamix 5300. It has a comfortable, soft-grip handle, and comes with a lid (and a removable plug for the middle of the lid), and has a 3-year warranty.)

Vitamix Container Compatibility: All the original container designs featured on this page (the taller 64 oz, 32 oz wet and dry, and 48 oz wet) as well as the new Stainless Steel container will also fit on the Pro series Vitamix machines (Pro 300 and Pro 750). However, the wider and shorter 64 oz containers that come packaged with the Pro 300 and Pro 750 are not available for individual sale and are not compatible with older Vitamix blenders.

Apart from the new Stainless Steel and the new Aer Disc containers, NONE of the containers listed on this page can be used with Vitamix's Ascent Series; the Ascent models use a different design for containers.

Wet Blades / Dry Blades

Q: What is the difference between the blades in the standard Vitamix container vs. the dry grains container?

A: The blades in standard Vitamix containers (sometimes referred to as 'wet blades') pull food down through the blades during processing. The dry grains container blades are designed to push foods up and away, making this the better choice for grinding dry grains or kneading sticky bread dough.

Vitamix Dry Grains Container

Designed specifically for grinding dry materials such as grains, cereal and coffee, this blade assembly can also be used for kneading bread dough. Perfect for processing dry grains, the Vitamix container with Dry Grains blade assembly will grind fresh flour from whole grains in seconds, Vitamix engineers designed its blades to perform this process impeccably. The dry blades are NOT designed to process liquids efficiently, and are clearly marked "D". Exercise caution: Grinding dry material for more than two continuous minutes could potentially damage your machine. Regular use may result in cosmetic marring of the container and cause the blades to become dull.

Features of the Dry Grains Container:

* Lightweight
* Perfect for making fresh flours and homemade cereals
* Blades specifically designed to process dry grains into fresh flours
* BPA Free Eastman Tritan copolyester
* Laser-cut stainless steel dry blades designed for efficient processing of dry grains in flour
* Two-part vented lid with opening
* Includes the Whole Grains Cookbook, complete with about 50 pages of recipes and helpful hints for grinding grain and kneading dough in the same container.

Vitamix Standard/Wet Blade Assembly Container

Designed primarily for processing liquids including juice, frozen mixtures, sauces, soups, purees, batters, and for wet chopping. The standard wet blades can also grind grain and knead dough, however they are not quite as efficient as the dry blades assembly for this specific application. If used for grinding, your container may mar and become cloudy.

Vitamix 32 Oz Containers: Height: 9.8 in / 24.89 cm. Height when sitting on blender base: 16.9 in / 42.93 cm. 32 oz./.9 L rated capacity. Great for single servings. The standard Vitamix container is lightweight and durable. Its laser-cut stainless steel hammermill cutting blades are designed to perfectly pulverize whole foods and process small quantities of smoothies, soups, and frozen desserts. When seated on the Vitamix blender base it fits nicely under most kitchen cabinets and into smaller spaces.

* Container Material: BPA Free Eastman Tritan copolyester
* Standard wet blades: foods for smoothies, hot soups, and frozen desserts
* Spill-proof vented lid with plug for safely adding ingredients while machine is running
* Includes measurements
