48-ounce/ 1.4-litre Container with SELF-DETECT™ is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 218.

Rated 5 out of 5 by jenPump from This container is a game changer for me I purchased the Ascent A3500 blender and was getting frustrated, almost to the point of returning it. My batches just never blended the way I wanted or had experienced in my original Vitamix. For example, I especially like to make whole fruit sorbets with frozen fruit. Mine would just spin around the blades and never get smooth enough. I read some reviews about the smaller container and decided to try. OMG! I feel like I should tell my 3500 I'm sorry, it's not you it was me! I was using too large of a container. Now I get the perfect blend every time. If you make batches for just 1 or 2 servings, this smaller container is a MUST.

Rated 5 out of 5 by shattoura from Finally...Açaí success!! I purchased the A3500 after returning my Blendtec as my research indicated it was better at making smoothie bowls. Although the A3500 with the original container was great at making everything else, it fell short at making individual size bowls without adding too much liquid. Because of the wider base, the small amount of items just spin around the edge and do not engage with the blades. I then invested in this smaller container and I am so pleased with it. Smoothie bowls come out perfectly and now I can make things in smaller batches. I would recommend.

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 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 4 out of 5 by gwguruman from 48-oz works well over 64-oz for day to day work My Vitamix A3500 came with a 64-oz Container that was just too big to do day to day blending. I purchased the 48-oz Container and that made it much easier to do day to day blending. BUT this 48-oz Container has water and moisture build up in the bottom blade area as shown in the attached photo. I'm am worried about this water build up.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AL82 from 48oz should come standard, not the 64oz After receiving my Ascent 2500 unit, which comes with the 64oz container, I quickly found that the 64oz container was impractical for my everyday use. That 64oz is huge—much too large to make just 1 smoothie bowl or 1 shake. Vitamix widened the base of these new 64oz containers, so you need more food/stuff in order to cover the blade enough for effective blending. *sigh* So I *had* to purchase this 48oz container separately. Honestly, THIS is the size container that SHOULD come with the blenders—not that 64oz behemoth. The 48oz is better suited for everyday use, IMO.

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!
