VitaMix Blender I have a VitaMix 4000 maxi pro machine, but no container for it. Are the newer plexi containers interchangeable with the old metal ones for this machine?

According to Vita Mix, "Yes" they are. You will need to take the blade and hardware off your 4000 and install it into the new polycarbonate (plastic) container. If you are unsure or have ??, you can call Vita Mix directly. They have EXCELLENT customer service and a human answers their phones.Good luck!

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

I bought this lid for the Vitamix Professional Series 750 with 64 oz container, Brushed Stainless Finish (purchased new this year), and this lid plug does NOT fit.

i am disappointed to hear all of this about leaking from a 400.00 appliance. I have been shopping for a powerful blender and was leaning towards the Blendtec but now am thinking the Vitamix may be the way to go.

Exactly. The Vitamix is great and I love it but it is not a juicer. If you can afford it it is great to eventually have both.

This Vitamix Tritan Copolyester container fits the 5000 model perfectly. It's been redesigned slightly from the original container and IMO it is better than OEM. Check your old blade mechanism to see if the bearings are starting to wear out and replace if necessary as you will need to remove the blade from the original container and put in this container (easy to do).

This fits on the vitamix right out of the box. I love it & have been using it for a few months to make smoothies daily. It makes great smoothies with easier cleanup & wasted ingredients than vitamix. The vortex it creates sucks the ingredients down more vigorously than the vitamix jar. No tamper is needed. However, the vitamix jar is superior for making bnt butters & frozen desserts because of the tamper. Hope this helps There is another jar (rebel) that requires you to substitute a blendtec drive on your vitamix.

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.

I don't know for sure. I do know that this part is from Vitamix it has the Vitamix box etc., and it has the tool that lets you take off the blade from your old broken canister. Here is the Vitamix phone number for you to call and see what replacement parts work that I got from my email to them: To better assist you please contact our household customer service department at 1-800-848-2649. If I were you I would try and if it doesn't work you can send it back to Amazon, the only thing you are out is a little bit of time and effort. I am sorry I couldn't be of more help. This part work for my older Vitamix and it also works for my newer one the Creations II Vitamix.

My daughter has a vitamix juicer and I bought this one for her as a replacement, she said it works fine, no problem, it's just shaped differently.

I've never had a Vitamix so I can't say first hand. Although my sister does own one and when we talked about how each works...we basically had the same results. We are completely satisfied with the Blendtec performance and ease of use / cleaning. There is absolutely no comparison to the previous cheap blenders we have had in the past.

Look at Vitamix.com website because they have an international office as well. I suggest you call company directly as they are very helpful and will gear you the proper direction. You may need to buy international version one.

I have never had/used the Vitamix but I did research both before deciding to purchase the Blendtec (read about the construction of the motor for one thing). I had a problem with the container seating correctly on the base and when I called the company about it they replaced it immediately, free of charge, and I've had no problems since then. I later purchased a Blendtec for my daughter and she has been as happy with hers as I am with mine. I have recommended it to friends.

Yes it is! this tamper fits a 5000 and 5200 vitamix. I have the 5000 vitamix. But before ordering the part from Amazon and replacing the old tamper I asked representative of Vitamix at Costco this question and showed him the picture of tamper from Amazon. I was told that 5000 5200 Vitamix are the same and it is going to fit and the representative was right. It fits and it is great.

Is the recall you are referring to in response to those black specs that come out into your blend? Or is that something completely different and unrelated? Does this blender have that black spec problem? I really want a vitamix but that is a deal breaker for me with my gastroparesis and weak stomach. Thanks in advance for your help! Take care and be well. Happy Holidays to you!

Yes, you can use the original Vitamix tamper with the tall 64 oz container and the short 32 oz container. The ridges that you see in the photo are there to prevent it from going too deep in the smaller container. It is probably better to buy the actual smaller one though (which I don't see on Amazon). I've used mine (came with my 5200) without problems in both containers.
