Vitamix Blender Containers for Home Kitchens
These blender containers come in a variety of sizes so you can blend, puree, and grind specific amounts of ingredients to create an array of precise dishes. Vitamix offers several sizes, including an 8-ounce blending bowl and 20-ounce blending cup, that enable operators to quickly blend ingredients to create sauces, baby food, smoothies, juices, and more. These modifications make for less mess, fewer dirty dishes, and quick grab-n-go options for the early morning rush. When you only want to make a single serving of sauce, grind up spices, or make a smoothie for one, these smaller Vitamix home blender containers are the perfect size.
Common Questions About Vitamix Home Blender Containers
What sizes of Vitamix home blender jars are available?
KaTom carries several sizes of Vitamix home blender jars, including the small 8-ounce blending bowl and 20-ounce blending cup as well as the larger 48- and 64-ounce blending containers. The smaller sizes – the bowl and the cup – require a special blade to fit onto the blending base. They are ideal for creating sauces, blending spices, or pureeing fruits and vegetables to make baby food. Filling a small container with these ingredients is much easier than trying to make a small bit of sauce in a 64-ounce blending container and struggling to scrape the sauce off the bottom.
The tall blender cups are perfect for making a smoothie or protein shake, and with Vitamix's powerful blending ability, you only need to put the ingredients in, blend, and go. Having the appropriate container saves time otherwise spent transferring blended ingredients to other containers and cleaning unnecessary dishes. Vitamix offers containers specifically made for certain types of ingredients, such as the dry grains container. If you plan on regularly making flours, this container will serve you better than the standard options.
Do I need a starter set or can I buy the containers separately?
The Vitamix starter set contains a smaller blade base that fits both the blender bowl and the blender cup. The starter set also contains either two bowls or two cups, depending on which you select. Once you've purchased either the bowl or cup starter set, you'll have what you need to use both the bowls and the cups, so you will not need to purchase the starter set twice. The blade base works the same with both sets and is not sold separately. The other Vitamix residential containers – such as the dry grains container – all work with the standard blade base, so they can only be purchased and used with the standard base unit.
What does Self-Detect™ do?
Vitamix home blender containers use Self-Detect technology to pair both the bowl and cup sizes with the same blade base. The blade base automatically detects whether the attached Vitamix residential container is an 8-ounce bowl or a 20-ounce cup and changes to the appropriate settings, saving you time and hassle. Self-Detect is part of Vitamix's Smart System blenders, which include the Ascent and Venturist series.
