I love this company! I don't know what I was thinking, but one night when my brain left my head, I put the tamper into the Vita-Mix while it was running without a lid (a thick mixture) and it got chewed up. The new replacement tamper I was sent is nicer than my old one and does the job perfectly. It got here super fast, so I was without a tamper for only a week or less. I highly recommend this product! It does the job.
