Vitamix Clear Container with Blade and no lid, 64 Ounce

I bought this as a replacement after the blades in my original Vitamix jar gave out. At first, I thought I would need to buy a whole new Vitamix, but replacing just the jar was enough to get it working again. This jar feels slightly thinner than the original one that came with the machine, but it does the job well and has held up great so far. Definitely a cost-effective solution!

Great replacement, perfect smoothies.

Price is right when you consider what is costs to replace the wet blade assembly for authentic Vitamix. Only $5 less for just the blade assembly and with this pitcher, the blade is already installed, so you don't need to buy the tool for changing the blade. All we did was reuse our original lid assembly on the new pitcher. Everything fits and operates flawlessly. Don't waste your time and money trying to rebuild your pitcher, just buy this one and keep your old pitcher as a back-up in case you need it. We got eight years out of the original blade assembly with twice a week use. We will be happy to get eight years out of this one.

I dropped my original Vitamix container and cracked it. I was on a very limited budget so I bought an off-brand replacement but it only lasted about a year when it cracked and began to leak. I had never dropped it or misused it in any way. In fact, I was very careful with it.I ordered this one without a lid as I still have my original lid plus the one that came with the off brand. Even the feel of it is better. Much better quality and it's heavier. Lesson learned!

The container I had received originally with my vitamin 10 years ago was basically the same as this. However, it finally cracked from use and needed replacement.Although this one works just as well as the first one I have noticed some differences. The most immediate is that it does not have the same rubber grip the old one had. Not a big issue for me but something to be aware of. Additionally, no matter how thoroughly I clean this, I always end up with some kind of cloudy residue on it. Not sure exactly why this one does that an my previous one did not.It performs just as well as the old one so I am happy despite these minor shortcomings.

About every 10 years we like to replace the containers and/or blades for the Vitamix we bought 40 years ago. The base machine works like it was new, and this replacement container woks great!

This is a commercial container, and not meant for home use. Notice the handle is plastic where the home use one you're hoping to replace has a rubber handle.

This container fits my 5200 Vitamix base and container cover- I had the original container for 16 years, and needed new blades. Tried non-Vitamix blades to save money and it was a waste- there is no comparison to the Vitamix brand blades. This container works great, although the handle isn’t at all like the original. I wish it had the same handle- this is a bit thin and uncomfortable to hold. But as far as having a good, smooth blend, these blades are great! Love my Vitamix!
