Vitamix 48 oz. Stainless Steel Blender Container with SELF-DETECT, BPA-Free

We upgraded to this stainless steel Vitamix container a little over 2 years ago and I have never regretted it. I make almost everything from scratch and that really takes a toll on your appliances when you're grinding down hard seeds, nuts, fruit that's frozen solid, and those super hard version of pork rinds called cracklings (Chicharróns). We've been total Vitamix fans for almost 20 years now and love ours, but the plastic container was super scratched up from blending hard stuff over the years. I didn't like the ugly way it was looking but I could live with that, but with all the talk about

TLDR: Highly recommended for exceptional usability, durability, and **ease of clean-up** with ZERO PLASTIC.I make multiple smoothies in a week. Protein shakes - FTW! I used to use a "bullet style" blender for that.But there were two things that bothered me:ONE: the bullet container is plastic. All that stuff in my smoothie (ice cubes, other frozen things) gets rocketed around inside at a bazillion RPMs, careening off the plastic container and - over time - teeny tiny micro-particles of that container make it into my smoothie.I tried to find a replacement bullet container / vessel made of SS, b

I absolutely love this! Easy to clean, very durable! I dont even use the one my vitamix came with.

I got this because of all the hype about BPA being in everything made of plastic but also water bottles and believe it or not receipt paper. Although Vitamix polycarbonate containers are labeled BPA free most people don't realize that there's also BPS and BPF as well as other bisphenols that could be in these and other plastic and polycarbonate containers. I don't mind paying $200 for a high quality stainless container like this one. Upon picking this container up for the first time I was totally impressed with the weight of this thing. I made an iced coffee as soon as I received it and I noti

I have an E310 blender, and I wanted to upgrade the pitcher.This fits and runs perfectly. I wish the lid and tamper were not plastic, but hey, it’s better than the whole container being plastic. It’s also hard to take the lid on and off. I also wish that the measurements were embossed or ingrained. Lastly, the price is pretty outrageous. My husband bought this for me as a birthday present, and I feel almost guilty because of the price.They appear to be printed. For those reasons, I’m lowering the review by one star.Overall, it is much better than the microplastic version I had before. I’m happ

This is a great upgrade to my Vitamix 5200. It washed up well and did not have sharp edges as others have shared.It fits nicely under my cabinet, unlike the original plastic 64 oz pitcher. The 48 oz pitcher is fine for me, and I made my normal smoothie. It is just as loud as the original pitcher. I recommend this, since it is stainless steel and fits so well under my cabinet in the kitchen.

Update: (07-05-2021) Still has been great, no issues. I got used to looking in through the top plastic to see how things are blending. Some reviewers have mentioned that the interior measurement markings wear off over time, but I haven't seen that (and I use it twice a day, every day). Maybe I got lucky?Original Review:I bought this as part of my (futile) quest to reduce the plastic I consume everyday.Pros:- It's very pretty. It's always on the drying rack for me, since I blend twice a day, but it makes a great statement in the kitchen for people who blend less.- Only the lid is made of plasti

If you have an Ascent 2500 series blender that was an international or UK model (ie non US) this jug will not work with your device at all.
