Will I be able to purchase a 'dry container' for this vitamix as well?

All 32oz wet and dry, 48oz, and 64oz containers fit this model. I use a 32oz container with this model, and prefer to use it when making smaller portions. Works great. I did not notice a big difference between the wet and dry blades however. My 32oz wet container grinds rice, oats, ect. ...just as well.

If you write to customer service at VitaMix.com they will be able to give you a correct answer. Their customer service department is excellent and they respond quickly to inquiries.

Hm. For that price...I found that most prefilled pouches' lids would fit the little green pouch, so you could get one of those and then use the lid.

Yes, definitely.. any canning jar would work. Especially if you have a Food Saver Vacuum sealer with jar sealing accessory for longer term storage. I use canning jars to store dry goods all the time....like Macaroni, Home Grown Herbs, dehydrated fruits and vegi's...

It an awesome buy!! Yiiu cant go wrong with this purchase. I got mine off of Amazon so it shouldnt matter of where you purchase it Vitamix warranty is the same for it's a warranty from Vitamix. Enjoy!

Sure. The Vitamix costs probably five times as much. This is much more cost effective if all you want a machine for is the frappes.

Don't bother. There is a problem with those units. I would recommend getting a vitamix unit, which is what we have now.

Yes, it is the same size as the one that originally comes with the vitamix.

Yes. Also when there is a VitaMix roadshow at a particular Costco, they sell the pre-programmed model.

The problem is with your container, not the motor base; however, if your Vitamix is still under warranty, this repair would be covered. Call Vitamix customer service.

I don't know for sure but the lid part that fits inside the container is 5 1/2" on my lid. My machine is Vitamix 5200 Stainless Steel 64 oz. that came with wet and dry containers.

They don't sell those containers separately. They only come with those models.

I'm not sure, you'll have to look at the manufacturer's site. They have smaller containers which might have what you need as well.

Carl, I'm not sure about the model we purchased, because this item didn't fit our nut and had to be returned. Of course Vitamix would want you to purchase from them and you know how they cost. Buying from the outside market is reasonable, but may have some Q.A. issues, which is what I discovered. Good luck.

Yes, however, you must purchase a converter. A friend just purchased a VitaMix on Amazon and had no problem once she got a converter and plug. Works fine!!

Yes...and no. I can get a Vitamix jar to fit in, since, as someone else stated, the teeth on the gear are the same (in number, though they differ slightly in shape). However, the competitor jar does not depress the safety switch on the blender. So, unless you do something creative, the blender will not run with another jar.

Yes, you can purchase the regualr (clear lids) jars by the case. They are less expensive.
