Good things come in small packages
By nightowl
The quality of this container is just as nice as the taller version that came with the blender I just bought. I happen to prefer this handle to the larger container (also clear plastic) because it's rounded while the taller one has squared edges so it's not as comfortable of a grip as this one. But those are minor differences, it's really a non-issue.

The rubberized lid to this container is not the same as the lid you get with the 64-oz container so if you ever see this container sold without the lid don't think that you can use the 64 oz lid with it. But you can use the same tamper (as long as it's the newer model). I'm mentioning this because I almost made the mistake of ordering the mini-tamper thinking I would need it with this shorter container. That's why the two aren't sold together, the new design of tamper works for both containers.

Great size - Great Vitamix quality.
By sharkychick
I am really enjoying this 32oz container and have found it to be an invaluable addition to my Vitamix 5200. Like others have stated, the measurement increments printed in black on the side of the container have been very handy. I can easily measure right into the container instead of getting a measuring cup dirty. Yes, the larger container that came with my Vitamix has measurements but, to tell the truth, before I looked at this one I never even noticed because they are too 'tone on tone' to easily see/use.

I also really like the way that the bottom part fits inside of the four prong things on the base of my Vitamix 5200 so it seems even more steady than my original container that goes outside the prongs. I use both, but I am very pleased that I got this one too. It's nicer to have a smaller container for many of the things I make.

One more thing - For others who may be curious, as was I because it was not addressed, the tampers that come with b oth sizes of Vitamix 5200 (either the 48oz or the 64oz) work with this smaller container. The tamper for the 48oz, which is the one I have, is perfect and the newer tamper for the 64oz, with the step, also fits. I understand that an older tamper for the 64oz (tall) containers didn't have the step, so that one would be too long.

My only problem (and it's NOT with the container itself so I didn't deduct for it) is that, in the description here, they say that it has a 5 year warranty. I talked to the people at Vitamix and they told me that the containers only have a one year warranty (as opposed to the 7 year warranty of the unit). That is not an issue for me, but I think it is noteworthy.

Nice container for 2 person drinks and smoothies
By Michael R. Simpson
My wife and I use this smaller container for whole fruit drinks and smoothies. It also fits under our kitchen cabinets on the counter top.
