Common Questions About Vitamix Commercial Containers

How is the Vitamix Advance container different from the standard?

Vitamix's Advance container is carefully designed to streamline the drink-making process in a commercial environment. Sporting a unique shape and built-in spout, the Vitamix Advance container enables a smooth pour for freshly made icy drinks, smoothies, or anything else you want to serve. A removable lid enables users to add a last-minute variation or forgotten component with as little disruption as possible. Consider the Advance container if you frequently use your Vitamix to craft drinks, as the built-in spout facilitates quick serving and dividing up a blended concoction into smaller containers.

Vitamix makes its Advance container in a few different colors, which aids operators in keeping batches separate. These options come in handy, especially if you're making two similar batches – for example, regular and decaf coffee drinks, or allergen-free versions of a smoothie. KaTom carries blue, purple, yellow, and orange in addition to the standard clear/gray color.

What does the Aerating container do?

The Aerating container is a Vitamix commercial blender jar designed to whip air into a blended mixture, producing light and fluffy results. This container is perfect for meringues, whipped creams, and specialized sauces, such as a hollandaise. The disc blade apparatus at the bottom of the container whips air into your ingredients quickly and quietly and is designed to make as little splash as possible while doing so, saving time during cleanup. Impress your customers with delicate culinary foams, new textured creations, flavored creams, and emulsions – the end result is up to you, but once you have the proper tools, you can create all sorts of interesting dishes.

Do the containers come with a blade assembly?

Operators can purchase Vitamix commercial blender jars with or without a blade assembly installed. If you need a new container because the old one has cracked, you'll save money by reusing your current blade assembly, but if the blade itself needs replacing, there's no avoiding the cost. Check the product description before purchasing to ensure you're getting the appropriate model, with or without a blade assembly.

What other options are available?

Vitamix commercial jars have a few other differences between each model, and they come in several sizes, for example, a Vitamix XL container with a whopping 1.5-gallon capacity. The Vitamix XL container can only be used with an XL base, though, because it requires more power and a larger blade assembly than smaller units. But the XL does offer significant capacity, which helps lower service time and enables operators to keep more customers happy.

The standard Vitamix commercial container also comes with a choice between ice blades and wet blades. Ice blades are preferable for blending ice into frozen cocktails or slushies, while wet blades are best for concoctions made with liquid – not frozen – bases. Ensure your container comes with the blade assembly most appropriate for your purposes or consider getting one of each to swap between uses.
