Features

This container is designed to make small to medium batches of your favorite smoothies, soups, frozen desserts, and more—helping to avoid food waste. Its petite size fits easily below overhead cabinets, and clean-up is a breeze since it’s both self-cleaning and dishwasher-safe.

Self-Detect™ Technology

Your Ascent™ Series blender will recognize the container and automatically adjust blend settings for its size.

BPA-Free
Containers and lids are made of BPA-free Eastman Tritan®.

Easy to Clean
Container and lid are both dishwasher-safe, or let them self-clean by blending a drop of dish soap and warm water for 35 seconds.

Laser-cut blades are crafted from hardened stainless steel, delivering better blends and longer life.

Specially Designed Tamper
Use the included Tamper to press thick and frozen mixtures toward the blades for faster, smoother blends.

48-ounce/ 1.4-litre Container with SELF-DETECT™ is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 26.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sara healthy mom from Much better for smaller batches. This container is much better for smaller batches or single person use. I think Vitamix should offer their blenders with either the choice of the 48 ounce container or the 64 ounce container instead of only the 64 ounce container and making the consumer spend another $145 for the smaller container. I think they would sell more blenders that way. Aside from that, Vitamix blenders are the best! I am happy I took the plunge and finally splurged for a Vitamix.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CM883 from Great size It is my opinion that Vitamix should come with the 48-ounce container instead of the 64-ounce. This is a great size and is easier to use and clean. Also glad the self-detect models now have container options.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Atsuko from Good size Perfect size and it is easy to clean. I don’t even use the one it came with, it is too big.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MEtwo from Nice smaller version I love having the smaller version but it doesn't really fit well on the base. It tends to move and sometimes the motor makes a louder noise. I called customer service and they said that is what happens with this smaller container, so I'm guessing it's not harming my whole machine. Otherwise I do like having a smaller container.

Rated 5 out of 5 by George S from Perfect size for most blends I purchased the A3500 and love it but as a single guy, the container was a little big for most of my blends. I purchased the 48oz container and it’s perfect! Worth every penny!

Rated 4 out of 5 by IMR18 from Great container but old blade removal tool doesn't MY old 48oz container was too loose on my new 7500 so COSTCO had a new one available at the road show. They said it would fit better and it does. 95% of the time we use the 48 oz container. The 64 oz is only for when we have company or are making something like soup. I was surprised that should I need to change out the blade that my old tool will not fit this unit. This is my third Vitamix and we use it 2-3 times a day. Other than the microwave and counter top oven this is the most used small appliance.

Rated 5 out of 5 by John F from Perfect size! Great alternative to the 64 ounce container which is very useful for individual serving smoothies and smaller batch blending. Love the machine and the containers for their convenience and durability, as well as the great tasting consistency of the blends.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Crona from Not too big, not too small Got this because the 64oz. was too big for everyday use, but this size is perfect. We use it about 4-5 times a week, sometimes more. It's sturdy with a tight fitting lid, and its easy to clean.
