Know before you buy
This kit is specifically designed for use with the Vitamix Ascent and Venturist series blenders. It will not fit older Vitamix models like the Classic or Legacy series.
The containers feature built-in technology that communicates with your blender base. This allows the machine to automatically adjust its blending settings and maximum speeds based on the size of the container you have attached.
While the Tritan plastic is durable, these containers are primarily designed for cold or room-temperature ingredients like smoothies, dressings, and dips. It is best to avoid blending hot liquids in these smaller containers to prevent pressure buildup.
Yes, both the blending cup and the bowl are top-rack dishwasher safe. For the best longevity, we recommend placing the blade base on the top rack as well.
The 20-ounce cup is ideal for single-serving smoothies or protein shakes that you can take on the go. The 8-ounce bowl is better suited for smaller, thicker tasks like chopping nuts, grinding spices, or making small batches of baby food and salad dressings.
