The 48 ounce container is exactly what I expected. So happy with it and I made my first smoothie the minute I got it I highly recommend it.

Very well made. Nice smaller size

A wonderful addition to my A3500 series! I use my 48 oz for my delicious green smoothies and 64 oz for everything else! No issues, just love!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Ascent A3500 blender and was getting frustrated, almost to the point of returning it. My batches just never blended the way I wanted or had experienced in my original Vitamix. For example, I especially like to make whole fruit sorbets with frozen fruit. Mine would just spin around the blades and never get smooth enough. I read some reviews about the smaller container and decided to try. OMG! I feel like I should tell my 3500 I'm sorry, it's not you it was me! I was using too large of a container. Now I get the perfect blend every time. If you make batches for just 1 or 2 servings, this smaller container is a MUST.

Ive had my vitamix for several years and really like the size of the smaller blender

Great alternative to the 64 ounce container which is very useful for individual serving smoothies and smaller batch blending. Love the machine and the containers for their convenience and durability, as well as the great tasting consistency of the blends.

Save your money! I really wanted to like this container because of its small size, and I needed a container this size, but this container really does the blender a disservice. I've made different things in this container, trying different ingredients, and it just doesn't blend them properly. Sometimes, I have to run the blender for almost two minutes, and even then, there are still chunks left over. I've used the tamper more than ever, and still, there is not much difference. My old cheap blender worked better than this one. Even mixing dry protein powder with liquid is impossible. I end up with lumps or dry powder on the side of the container. I honestly don't understand this container. I ended up using my larger one for most things, which defeats the purpose of why I purchased this one. I did notice that the container moves a bit on the blender when it starts and I have to hold it in place, and even still, it doesn't change its performance. What a shame!

Ordering and using this smaller container is a game changer for me. The 64 oz container that cones with the Ascent series was so large for everyday smoothies. Now that I purchased the smaller container, smoothies are a breeze snd i don’t dread handling the container and I therefore want to use it more.

I am so happy to have this slightly smaller size container for my spicy red Vitamix. The larder container it came with sometimes was just too big for my recipes and this one is perfect. Especially since there are only 2 of us in the house and I'm cooking just for myself frequently as well. Excellent product!

Wish this was the default size because the 64 oz is awful unless you’re blending for a ton of servings. It’s great for smoothie bowls because I don’t have to add so much liquid just to make a small bowl.
