It does what it's supposed to do, but...After a wooden spoon I was using while making baba ganoush ran afoul of the blades of my 32 oz. blender jar, I realized that I needed the mini-tamper for smoothies, sorbets and other things I use that jar for.
The mini-tamper should be supplied with the 32 oz. jar anyway because it is essential to the full use of the jar. Other than the fact that it doesn't come with the 32 oz. jar, my biggest disappointment was that it took eight days from when my order was acknowledged to when it was finally shipped. That seems like an eternity in the age of internet commerce.
Nevertheless, the Vitamix is a great blender - far superior to others I've used - and I have no regrets about choosing Vitamix products.

The Size I NeededThis mini tamper works like it should with the 32 oz. container I use when I want to make smaller amounts. However, I do feel the tamper should have been included with the purchase of the container.

critical piece of equipmentreplacement purchased to replace original, which was accidentally broken.
once my original broke, I realize how critical this tamper is to the vitamix. This tool allows you to pulverize fruits, vegetables without addition of liquid. Otherwise you need to add tons of liquids, like most other blenders in the market. This is an absolute must have for the vitamix. I am not able to enjoy my applesauce, make my sofrito, breadcrums and my frozen fruit desserts in no time at all. Thanks Vitamix for the prompt shippment.

Small Tamper works well ...I purchased a smaller container for the Vitamix when i purchased the Vitamix Machine all from William Sonoma. It was very disappointing to me that a Tamper, for the cost of the container, did not come with a Tamper. So i had to purchase the Tamper directly from Vitamix. I also then purchased the spatula's to save on the shipping costs. Both items work well.

A little shortThe tamper should be a little bit longer and come closer to the blade. Sometimes with small amounts of ingredients, I cannot get them to mix and blend because the tamper is too short and the ingredients won't move around despite me moving the tamper in every direction.

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO BUY THIS?After chewing up all my mini silicone spatulas making my morning smothies, I went online to price the mini-tamper (which should have come with my smaller container). It was only $10, no shipping. Wish I'd ordered it sooner. Now I have to find a source for replacement mini silicone spatulas. I'm sure they cost more than $10.

Mini tamperCracked at the seam the first and only time it's been used! Doesn't seem to be the quality of vitamix!
