While I have not had this container for very long, I am very much pleased with its performance and the space modification of this product.   Our Vitamix 5200 has been a valuable asset in the many versatile creations of healthier meals in our home for years (soups, smoothies, desserts, salad dressings, etc.).  Although we already have a 64oz. And a 32oz. dry container, this 48oz. container would be an excellent addition to any household.   Some may desire not to have so many different containers as this could also defeat the purpose of  space to storing such items, but this particular product is worth having if you use your Vitamix frequently.  I have experienced the same consistent blend of ingredients, as the 64oz, with good blades and the versatility of a lesser amount for a meal.
