I love my stainless steel container! I use turmeric in my smoothies and no lingering odor or stain. Cleans up real easy too. Looks beautiful on my A3500.
Thank you for this video. Costco is currently having a member's only price which ends on the 23rd so I will be going there the week. Since buying my VitaMix several years ago, I have been hoping for a glass or stainless steel bowl. So glad to see this!!! (My eldest so is having extensive (and painful) dental work in a couple of weeks - I bought him a VitaMix Series C 6500 yesterday.)
Got a A3500 for X-mas and already went down the Vitamix accessories rabbit hole. Already purchased the stainless steel container, food processor, blending cup and bowl kit, aerator blender, and extra food processor blades with processor lid for fridge. The Stainless steel container was perfect when we blended our cooked red chile pods for making our red sauce for tamales. I didn't know the Stainless was dishwasher safe? Thank you.
I purchased the stainless steel contain and have one concern before deciding it I will return it or not. How durable is the plastic lid? Wish it was made of rubber instead of plastic. the lid does have a small rubber seal inside but my worry is the plastic lid tabs will break over time, as the tabs need to be bent outwards to remove the lid. With only a 3-year warranty I wonder how long it will be before I need to purchase a new lid. From past experience I found replacement parts to be pricy. I had hoped my rubber lid from another container would fit, but unfortunately, it is too small. The price of the container is pricey and but my excitement over the durability of the metal container was diminished by the questionable durability of the lid-- and the warranty.
We just got ours today, i wish vitamix has made this 6 years ago when we got our blender. We have 3 plastic containers, never was a fan of the polycarbonate. I hope vitamix makes a 64 oz wide bottom SS container was well.
I just bought the v1200 using the link from your site. Thank you, your videos were very helpful and I feel like it was a good entry point into the Vitamix world with a great discount using your January promo code. I expect that a 48 oz pitcher will be my next purchase so this seems like a good option but I was wondering if the stainless is double-wall insulated.
Thank You Very Much 🌷💐Dear🙏🏼For your information, please I need the receipe write it down, because I just buy the stainless container vitamix blender, and I’m m still confuse how to make soup, because I have 3 elderly on my house
At the rate these blenders are spinning, the glass would shatter unless it is really thick or something. But I wonder if constant heating up and cooling down would cause the stainless steel one to expand and contract and eventually start leaking.
@BlenderBabes The 48 ounce container is perfect for 1-2 people. The SS container would be great for milkshakes, or hot soups. It would look cool on my vintage Vitamix TNC Blender too.
@@chevyguy6961 definitely! Milkshakes all day like my first job at an ice cream shop making them in their stainless steel container! Thanks for the memory. Would love to see your vintage vitamix! :)
If you put the jar in the dishwasher does it melt the seal? I don't put any Vitamix jar in the dishwasher because I don't think that it's going to last that long if I do that cuz it will melt and eat up the seal.
Do you mean the seal of the blade and jar? I Haven’t had any problems myself to date... Only a few of the VITAMIX series have jars that are allowed to go in the dishwasher. And even then it’s recommended only every once in awhile but to hand wash most of the time. Hope that helps!
That's so strange, what models do you have? In the user manual on the Ascent 3500 Blender and food processor we put almost all the parts in top rack of dishwasher as long as it's not on a high heat cycle. Our manuals specify that. Everythings been fine for about 4 years. (I currently have the plastic ones.) Was thinking about the SS, since I went to college for dietetics and medicine so its just helpful to have lots of extra tools to help with making special meals/ food that'd be great
if you can tell me what dealer I can order the stainless steel blendercan? that comes with the 3500, I can only find in the US and they don't ship to Europe @@BlenderBabes
@@bramsegers2414 Did you try the link for finding distributors? I'm not sure which one sells the stainless steel jar you would have to ask or contact Vitamix directly.
nobody tells you the stainless steel container is not compatible with 3500i and alle European brands, what a disaster, I had to call Vitamix for this information. I bought the mixer to use it with the stainless steel container. I'm disappointed and think to send the mixer back. People watch out! . @@BlenderBabes
Our stainless steel Vitamix container blade lasted 3 years and is “NOT” removable from factory, beware! It was out of warranty by 2 1/2 months. My wife spoke to rep and manager and they apologized and said we have to buy another container for nearly $200, ouch!
Although, I don't have a lot of confidence in spot welds as over time they often break off . It looks like it's just a few spot welds holding the handle on. The other thing, many people such as me want to avoid plastics for the potential of chemical residue and micro plastic flakes of plastics coming off especially when grinding harder foods such as nuts, ice etc. But with what-looks-like a hard plastic lid I can see microplastics being scraped off as the hard plastic lid is compressed into the container. Although, I don't know if their black softer silicon-feeling lid would fit on the stainless steel container. The downside of these lids though would be that you wouldn't be able to see inside as it is blending.
The company's claim about the "dangers" of glass seems a bit of a reach. Kitchen Aid uses glass and the added weight provides more **stability** and therefore safety. Seems there's something else at play and I suspect its related to cost or time in some way, possibly the engineering and testing of glass which maybe they're too lazy to conduct??? 🤔 Also, certainty on the healthiness and **Quality** level of the stainless steel might be a question.
Nice video, I have been following Vitamix blenders sine the 70s, back then they only came with a metal container. I love my 5200.
Thank you! Yes I've seen those models!
I love my stainless steel container! I use turmeric in my smoothies and no lingering odor or stain. Cleans up real easy too. Looks beautiful on my A3500.
Love it! Thanks for sharing Susan :)
How is your container still looking? I’m thinking about buying one
Just bought it so excited!!! Im sick of cheap plastic

It's a no brainer upgrade 😮

Interested to purchase the A3500 how much it cost
So the stainless steel container still has a plastic lid?

I don't think it's double wall insulated. I hope you're enjoying your V1200!

Hello! You can check out all of my soup recipes here: www.blenderbabes.com/healthy-recipes/#1+category:soup-recipes
Thank you…. I’m off the fence now!
Wow! I'd love to try this...
What about the curry smell, color taint on the transparent lid? It s plastic right?
Which Vitamix supports this container? I am considering buying one
The stainless steel container is compatible with ALL full sized VITAMIX machines. YAY!
Have you seen my full VITAMIX Review to help you figure out which one to buy? www.blenderbabes.com/blender-babes-101/vitamix-blender-reviews/
At the rate these blenders are spinning, the glass would shatter unless it is really thick or something. But I wonder if constant heating up and cooling down would cause the stainless steel one to expand and contract and eventually start leaking.
It's not gonna shatter
I had a Hamilton Beach blender with thick glass container, it was just fine. However I much prefer my stainless steel Oster blender for my shakes.
I read reviews saying it’s extremely loud compared to plastic and the lines rub off. How has your held up
I think all high powered blenders are loud so I'm pretty used to it. My black lines are still there since it's laser etched not printed on.
I want one of these SS containers. I have the 48 ounce plastic container on my Legacy 5300.
The SS container works on all models! But it only comes in the 48 oz size.

Here's a pic of my vintage Vitamix TNC.
My picture didn't show up?.
Can I make that soup in the exploran model?
Yes you can! Either the Explorian e310 or e320 will work

Can’t buy this for the European model for some reason.
What a glass of stainless steel lid?
What about glass or stainless steel lid?
where can i order this set in europe? thank you
Hi! Vitamix has dealers all over Europe depending on the country. You can find distributers here: www.vitamix.com/vr/en_us
if you can tell me what dealer I can order the stainless steel blendercan? that comes with the 3500, I can only find in the US and they don't ship to Europe @@BlenderBabes

Can't get that thing in Europe easily.
I hate plastic. Why can't they make it glas
So how come other brands manage to design and have glass containers?
No truly high-speed/high-power blender has a glass lid.
The People Sing is correct, high power can't do glass.
Fine. I’ll buy it. 😂 ❤❤
I hope you got it during the recent Vitamix Days sale!!! If not they should have another sale during the holidays. :)
