Hello, When I purchased my vitamix, I didn't think the container would be to tall to fit under my cabinets. So although we love the machine, its pretty useless to us, since its to hard to store and get in and out. I have model VM0103D, not sure if this is the same container that I have, but I need a shorter one for sure. We've purchased several machines for family and friends as gifts over the yrs. They don't have a problem, we do. Help please!
