Are Vitamix mix blades standard for all machines?

Yes they are. And when you order another container for grain grinding or whatever, it contains a blade.

No, but there don't appear to be too many different ones to choose from. The most common blade is the "wet" blade. It has a replacement number of 1152. There is also a "dry" blade number 1151. There is either a "W" or a "D" stamped on the top of the blade.

No. The drive socket where the container mates with the motor base is set up differently. Vitamix models 4000 and below had the female portion of the drive socket attached to the container and the male portion on the motor. Vitamix models 5000 and above have the male portion on the container and the female portion on the motor. Vitamix made a special retrofitting blade assembly for a while that allows the newer plastic containers to work with the older model 4000 and 3600. That is how I am able to use the newer containers on the older vitamixes.

You can use the same brand for both blades, but different sizes. As for two different brands you can do that as well so long as it's the proper size.

the vitamix is a different blender. The Blendtec Jar is for the blendtec/K-tec blender.

I have not used a Vitamix but I've read the literature on it and believe the Oster Versa and the Vitamix 1782 (for example) are in the same category- commercial grade blenders. I suggest you read the reviews for the Vitamix.

I don't own a vitamix anymore, but i will say that these 'scrapers' are great for everything. I know with the blades in the vitamix it's hard to get everything out, but I bet these will work better than anything you will find at any other store.

The vitamix has stainless steel gears and more durable build. Ninja has plastic gears and not as durable. Ninja has center blade part is mostly plastic, and over time pieces chip off into drinks. The Ninja is also more dangerous for cleaning. Ninja blade system takes up most of the place in the blender, and after blending has more texture and bits. The Vitamix makes a lot smooth blend, really whips and blends better. Vitamix really liquifies and blends a lot better. Definitely worth the price.

l do not know. Ask the Vitamix company - you could google an 800 number or customer service email for them.

I suppose it would depend on how deep the blender is compared to the Vitamix. This fits perfectly with the Vitamix so that the bottom of the tamper will not hit the blade. Otherwise I imagine it would work.

Just a comment about replacing the blade assembly for 3600. We also need to replace ours, and emailed the vitamix customer service directly. The response back said that we can replace the blade assembly for the 3600 and 4000 models by ordering part #000063 from them. $85.00 plus tax/shipping. Their customer service number is 1-800-848-2649 option #2. Hope this is helpful to someone

My Vitamix is Model VM103 and someone in my comments section told me it was the 5000. It does not come with a blade or a wrench. I already had both and just switched the blade to the new container. It is still working fine and I am enjoying smoothies, etc. once again.

Yes it is for current models. I don't see it on vitamix's website either which is weird. If you search on this site for vitamix container and wrenches (no blade). It has it with the wrench, but as it says, no blades are included. I looked at my wrench and it has vitamix's logo on it.

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!!
