Question: Does this come with a tamper, and if not will the tamper from my original vitamix container fit this one?
Document: You don't need the mini-tamper sold on Vitamix's website for the 32oz canister. Also, the original retainer nut for the 64oz canister works fine on the 32oz canister. From what I could determine, many people said that the 64oz retainer nut would not fit, but their 5000 models must be older than 2006. I bought the retainer nut sold here on Amazon, and the original and the new one are exactly the same size, so now I'm returning the one I just purchased (they are about $14).
Although for me, this one (32oz) is just fine I never make anything over two quarts anyway.If you are thinking of changing this and have issues don't worry this will be fine it fits snuggly and is very easy to use, the lid is different from my other one this ne actually grips the tops so it does not come off.The only thing you have to watch for is the tamper, the tamper that works for the 64 oz. will not work completely in the 32 oz. one. You will have to be very careful not to let the tamper go all the way done, it will hit the blades.So if you do not need to replace the blades this is a very economical ways to get a new container.
This container is easily replaced my cracked original one. The tool makes it a breeze to remove the blade from the old container and put on the new. The lid is even better than my old one, it has these short rubber arms on the side which grips on to the lid so it's harder to accidentally pop off when using the tamper.
I wanted to provide some information that wasn't clear for me when reading previous reviews for the 32oz canister. My parents gave me their old 5000 model which they bought about 2006 or 2007, not sure, they told me that the warranty has probably expired so that's my guess. It has the 64 oz polycarbonate canister, so I wanted to get the new BPA free 32oz canister. The original tamper has the "step", so it works fine for the 32oz canister. If you have a tamper that is completely smooth then it won't work and you'll have to get a new one.
TAKE NOTE:If you own an older Vitamix (NON BPA Free) container, you may need to buy the smaller retainer nut, sold here as well, as I just learned the hard way. If your Vitamix 5000 is an older model like mine, say 1998 or so, then the nut from the original 64 oz container will NOT fit. I just took delivery of the new 32 oz container (Tritan BPA Free), only to find this out, and now have to order the smaller nut for $20 here.
This container is much better suited for the Vitamix. Rarely did we need to use the full size one. This one fits under the cabinets, and is easier to clean. The new style lid is also much better than our original.
I typically didn't allow anyone in the house but myself to use my Vitamix and the one day I let my husband mix something up he forgets to take the spoon out!!!! Needless to say the spoon shredded chards of metal in the smoothie/ice cream and it cracked my original container. This replacement was easy to put on the base of my old container with the included tool and the lid is great too!
I am pleased that I was able to purchase this container for approx. $39 vs going onto the Vitamix site and having to purchase a brand new container and blade at almost triple the cost. It's a plastic container for crying out loud. Anyway, we love our vitamix and our old container just cracked out of the blue. The container that came with the Vitamix is heavier construction and has a rubber handle.However, I can purchase three of these to the one of the original containers. I'm ahead of the game.
I've had my Vitamix for MANY years, so I wasn't sure if the new lid would fit or not. It's a perfectfit - better than the original lid. It has little &#34;lips&#34; that hug the canister for a tight fit, but still easy toremove.
It's Vitamix manufacture so the quality is 5 stars. IT fits in the middle of the 4 pegs that go inside the base ring on the larger container so it looks weird at first but that is correct. it's not that much smaller than the 64 oz somehow but those extra couple of inches make all the difference in the world when wanting to store it under cabinets on a kitchen counter, which it does fit under if you put the lid in upside down. Only loses one star as it is kind of overpriced for a plastic pitcher, but you are probably already OK with paying more for top quality if you own a VItamix :0)
Answer: You are better off to purchase the mini-tamper directly from Vitamix.  The mini-tamper is designed to fit the 32 oz. container and the 48 oz. container as well.  Although it's possible to use the tamper from the tall 64 oz. container, I don't advise it.  The tall 64 oz. container's tamper has a "step" that, theoretically at least, is designed to prevent the tamper from reaching the blades of the shorter 32 oz. and 48 oz. containers.  However, in practice, many tampers have met with disaster when vigorous tamping has resulted in the tamper being pushed beyond the safe point.  I use the mini-tamper with my shorter containers and it works very well.It should also be noted that the tamper from the low profile 64 oz. container that comes with the Next Generation machines (the Pro 750, 300, and the 7500) cannot be used with this container.
