I've had my Vitamix over 5 years.
I lost my container...how can that happen?Anyway, I ordered the smaller container because our family size is smaller. Sadly, I was not using my VitaMix on a regular basis.
HOWEVER, I read the book, The End of Alzheimer's and decided to try blending instead of juicing. The juicing is such a pain! The blending is 100% better and easier! Now I get all the benefit of the vegetables. The container is perfect for our size family and I am blending my greens daily. I've lost 5lbs just this week!
And, my grandkids are CrossFitter's...so I buy them one for graduation from college. :)
