Vitamix Low Profile Container Benefits and Limitations

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Well this is just an awesome video from the legend herself whom I've learned so much from. THIS LADY KNOWS HER STUFF!!!

Thank you for this. I really did think I wasted my money on the machine, but now I know it was my proportions.....I was not sure if dropping the money for a smaller container would be worth It but I am convinced now.....I really only make 1 cup smoothies. Thank you!

I liked my Vitamix 7500 when I got it years ago, but wasn't "over-the-moon" about it. When I found Lea Ann's FB page I discovered I needed the 32 oz containers, since I usually work with smaller portions. So, I took the plunge and ordered 'em from Lea Ann, and now I *love* my Vitamix! Use it all the time now, the smaller containers are a total game changer. :)

It's great to see you making videos again! You always have such good advice. #LoveVitamix

This video made me realize what I should know about my Pro 750. Now for canning season, I can dry chop my salas recipe quicker!

I purchased my 7500 from Lea Ann. It was a wonderful shopping experience. Lea Ann is very knowledgeable and very passionate about Vitamix. I have learned so much from her and have found more and more ways to use my Vitamix to make cooking and preparing meals easier and healthier. I always refer people to Lea Ann to buy their Vitamix. I will definitely buy my next Vitamix from Lea Ann.

I own the 5000 and the 5200 model Vitamix. I have the narrow 32 oz container for my 5000 model. I want to know how much is another 32 oz narrow end container for my 5200 model and what do I get with it.

Every time I read or see you talking about the benefits of the next generation container, I find myself wanting to give my classic/older unit to my in-laws so I can justify buying us a next gen unit. If I do, I'll definitely either hold onto my 32 oz wet or buy a new one and include my current one with the gifted unit.

[@MikeStanley]

Lea Ann Savage You sold me my classic, and I was thrilled with the experience. Should I decide to buy a next gen or Ascent unit, you can count on me buying from you again! 👍

Hi, I just purchased the turboblend 2 speed from QVC thinking I wouldn't mind not having presets because hey it's a Vitamix. We'll I guess I'm spoiled lol I need my presets. So will likely sell my Turboblend for an upgrade. Your video was very helpful in helping me determine what else I need.

Hi, I have a question... I hope you don't mind me asking? I know the wide-bottom, low-profile container is only meant for the next generation machines BUT, does it physically fit onto a Classic style machine? (TNC, VitaPrep3 etc) I'm thinking about getting the low-profile, wide bottom container for my VitaPrep3. I know VitaMix say that it is ONLY for use with the Next Generations machines but I read somewhere that the only reason it's not compatible with Classic style machines is because the 4" blades need the increased horsepower of the Next Gen machines and because they're 4" blades they could burnout/overheat the motor of a lesser powered Classic machine. It doesn't say anywhere that it doesn't PHYSICALLY fit the Classic machine. My VitaPrep is 3HP, which is almost another HP more than the Next Gen machines... So if it physically will attach to/work with a Classic machine then my machine wouldn't have any problem powering the 4" blade and I would consider getting one. Because of the blade size and the profile of the container it looks like it yields are far better blend (with exception to low quantities... that's why I'd have a narrow 1.4ltr container too) Hope this makes sense and I hope you can shed some light. Great informative vids btw. Always keeping my eye on them! :) Thanks, Jay

Thanks so much for your reply Lea Ann...very helpful indeed! So, the low-profile, wide bottom container will have no fitment problems with a standard classic base?... it's just not advisable to do so according to Vitamix... which shouldn't be a problem for the VitaPrep3. I just wanted to be totally sure that I'll have no fitment issues before I go ahead and order one... I know the metal gearing is the same across all the blade assemblies. Have you used a wide-bottom container with a standard classic machine before? Many thanks, Jay

Would like to see how to make mayonnaise in the vitamix

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

I love using my farm fresh eggs to make Mayo! I love controlling what I put in my dressings.

[@hhnew]

Please do! I'd love to see it and get the recipe.
