I was worried this stainless steel container wouldn't fit my Vitamix Blender, but it fit perfectly. I really like the stainless look and blends perfectly with my other kitchen appliances. I was always conscious about the smell with the plastic container. There is no smell retention with this one and its easier to clean after I use it. This also feels sturdier than the plastic one with no worries of braking or damage. This is definitely an updrage to an already great blender.
