I bought this because I accidentally burned a hole in the last one by leaving it too close to the stove burner.  This works with the Low-Profile Vitamix, which I really love because it fits under the cabinet on my counter-top.  It took me years to decide to finally get a Vitamix and the Low-Profile Vitamix made it an easy choice.  So glad I bought one.  I use it almost every day at least once a day.  In the morning I use it for my Kefir Smoothy and later as an aid in making soup.  The Vitamix Customer Service is exceptional too!
