Vitamix 15842 Container, 32 oz, 32 Ounce, Clear

Good as expected

I made a big mistake and bought the personal cup adapter. I should have bought this instead, so I did. It's much smaller than the giant 64 ounce and is perfect for smoothies, even for one person. it cleans just like the big one, and is super simple to use. I still think it is way over-priced, but it works.

I've had a Vitamix for about 7 years now. My original container was just like this one. Until it met with an unfortunate accident, it worked great for 7 years. Before I got my Vitamix, I couldn't find a blender that would last over a year. I love the quality. We use this every day, at least once and usually more. This one was identical to the one I originally purchased with my vitamix. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now. Works great. I have my morning smoothie perfectly blended in mere seconds. I've mades soups, salad dressings and even used it to scramble eggs. It's easy to clean, nothing sticks, I just rinse it out. If it ever does need a good wash, just add a couple drops of detergent, fill it about 1/3 fill and turn the blender all the way high for a few seconds. Then off and rinse the soap out. Now, I just wish Vitamix would make a 16 oz container!

This smaller container is worth every penny!!. I used to use my larger container to make my yoghurt prep and because of the smaller amount of ingredients it would end up spraying the food all over the jug and I would waste quite a bit of food and not necessarily get the consistency or smoothness out of my attempts. Now with this smaller container there's so much less waste and I can get my ingredients nice and smooth as it's not spraying all over the inside of the jug. Great if you are doing single shakes/smoothies, sauces, or smaller amounts of what you would use the larger container for. Now I just have to get a smaller spatula to scrape down the sides. I also treated myself to the smaller 32 oz. container for dry goods. :)

I have a Vitamix Explorian Series E320 that came with a low-profile 64-ounce container. This is great for large families or people who want to make big batches. However, without much experimentation, it's a little difficult to eyeball how many ingredients are needed to make a single-serving size in this particular container. Sometimes I just want to make a quick 16-ounce smoothie, and I found myself being too generous with the ingredients and making a 32-ounce smoothie instead! This is why I did my research and purchased the 32-ounce container ($128.95) with a mini-tamper ($10.08). When the 32-ounce container arrived, I switched it out with the 64-ounce container and placed it on the Vitamix blender. It was considerably smaller. Also, the original tamper that came with the Vitamix would totally hit the blades of the smaller container, so definitely make the wise purchase of the mini-tamper as well. Another difference I noticed is that the blades are longer in the 64-ounce container verses the 32-ounce container. I was worried that it wouldn't blend as well.. During my experimentation with the smaller container, I found it was a lot easier to eyeball how many ingredients were needed to make a single-serving. My first smoothie was a perfect 16-ounces (half of the container). It blended flawlessly with the help of the mini-tamper to push the ingredients down into the blade. My worries were eliminated of the blades not performing up to par with the larger ones in the 64-ounce container. Afterwards, I rinsed the container out, filled it halfway with water, added a drop of soap, blended on high for a minute, and the container, lid, and tamper washed itself. The Vitamix functioned as intended even with the smaller container. If you find yourself wanting to make smaller portions in your Vitamix, just drop the money and purchase the 32-ounce container and the mini-tamper. It will save water consumption for cleaning over time, and it's a lot easier to determine the size and quantity of your end product. It can also be used to make enough for a 2nd person. I have stored the 64-ounce container and low-profile tamper in my cupboard for occasions when I want to use the Vitamix for more than 2 people at a time.
