I've always wanted a Vitamix, but the plastic container was always the reason I never went for it (I had a glass blender). When I saw the new stainless steel I was so excited. I've never had a high powered blender before and now in a healthy container what don't you love. My only complaint is it doesn't sit well on my Ascent series blender, it's loose and when I blend the container moves, I don't know if that's the way it's supposed to be, but I love the container and blender so much I think I can live with it.
