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.

Long-Lasting Blades
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.

Clear Lid + Lid Plug
A clear lid with leak-proof seal helps you monitor the progress of every blend. A removable, vented lid plug lets you make hot soup, add ingredients while blending, and doubles as a 2-ounce/60-ml measuring cup.

Medium Batches
The size and shape of the 48-ounce/ 1.4-litre container is ideal for blending medium batches for small family meals.

Compatibility
For use with Vitamix Ascent™ Series blenders only.

48-ounce/ 1.4-litre Container with SELF-DETECT™ is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 69.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 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 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 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 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 5 out of 5 by from Fabulous Product I am so glad I purchased this additional 48 oz container. Use it all the time. I also use the 64oz that came with the 3500a Vitamix blender... And the 20oz individual containers that were purchased for me as a birthday gift.. I love my Vitamix Blender... Can't believe it is so amazing!!! I use it at least once a day. 48oz makes perfect healthy breakfast smoothies for two. But probably could be 3or 4. Depending on size and contents.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 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 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 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.
