Vitamix 48 oz. Stainless Steel Container [Review]

So here we go, let’s see the most important information about the Vitamix 48 oz. blending container, including the features, the advantages, and disadvantages as well as recommendations. Let’s get started, shall we?

Compatibility

Many blenders come with a 64 oz. container, which is convenient for large families. Vitamix used a smaller 48 oz. container that makes it much easier to blend small batch recipes such as homemade peanut butter, fruit snacks, and almond butter. Besides, the container is compatible with Ascent and Venturist models that work with an NFC tag. The only modern models that are not compatible with this container are the now-discontinued S-series model.

Handle

Due to the container’s hearty and durable build, the handle appears slightly thicker in the middle, which makes it more comfortable to hold. At a glance, the handle appears odd, as if it sticks out of the container a bit, but it turns out that it’s an illusion caused by it being solid rather than clear. The handle does stay cool to touch when blending hot recipes. As a precaution, Vitamix puts a strip of dark grey plastic on the container under the handle to keep your fingers safe from burns.

Lid

Like other Vitamix containers, the lid retains the shape but the color is slightly different. Other containers have a slight blue tint, but here the tint is subtle enough to notice. The new lid works perfectly with stainless steel neutral tone.

Ease of use

The container doesn’t require any technical skills to use with your Vitamix blender. What’s more, the volume markings on the inside are much easier to read than the ones used on clear containers. Like other Vitamix containers, it’s easy to clean with mild soap and water. Vitamix says the container and the lid are dishwasher safe.
