do any models come with glass containers?

Thank you for your inquiry. The Vitamix generates over 2 hp of power. A glass jar might be dangerous with this much power. Consequently, glass jars are not available from Vitamix.

Hello- this is Ruthy from The Handy House. There are 3 different sized wet containers all made with BPA-free Eastman Tritan® copolyester. Hope that helps- none are glass. You can count on Vitamix for quality and they will back up their products.

We're familiar with how this plastic clouds and dissolves from the insides of drinking glasses that have only been gently hand-washed after using for juice and coffee. We've also discovered BPA is not the only estrogen-like plastics compound to worry about. Makers of stuff like Tritan plastic seem more focused on marketing than actually safeguarding public health: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2012/07/30/157592882/legal-battle-heats-up-over-whose-plastic-consumers-should-trust

No, the Vitamix containers are all shatter-proof, BPA-free Eastman Tritan polycarbonate.

No it does not. You would need to make one up.I used 3/8 x 4" pplexiglass glass and attached it under the outer lip of the tank with silicone.

Yes. I did have a problem with this order. One of the glass bases was shattered on arrival. They sent me a replacement but they sent a top piece. I notified them and they finally sent another base. Nice product though.

No glass. The plastic is pretty sturdy. I've been using mine daily for almost a year now.

Yes, mine came with a very substantial plastic container with carrying handle.

No, there is no lid included. Only pyrex storage or "travel" models come with one.

None of the Tervis tumblers I have purchased came with lids. I have purchased a few lids and they are convenient when using the tumbler "on the move".

No. No extra jars came with the appliance. I tried writing the company to get replacement jars in glass instead of plastic and received no response.

The DHB719 does not have an attachable container, just the 4 attachments. One metal blender, one large base plastic blender, one masher, one whisk. Other models with the same power unit come with the attachable beaker.

Yes...the glass drinking jars use standard lids. Be careful of the plastic glasses...the lids are not standard.

yes. 4 glass jars are included, with screw top plastic lids. The jars are really small...about the size, capacity of a jar of baby food. I found then too small for myself, as an adult, so I bought a retro Salton yogurt maker, used, that is practically brand new.

I agree! How can we request a glass container? I would gladly pay a bit more postage to have no BPA in the container!

The glass container does have a handle - what you are looking at here is the steel beverage blender vessel, not the glass one - they both come with the 6-piece kit. The glass vessel has a pouring lip, as opposed to a full spout (like a jug, as opposed to teapot, for example) whereas the steel one does not as it needs to be kept sealed by its lid when making a smoothie, for example.

No did not look for glass container. Two large would fit, but I only have one.

The one I purchased does. There are a lot of different models and sizes so you to know what kind of tank you have. Amazon has pictures and descriptions

For the quick answer: Glass breaks! This particular model is designed for the commercial application is needs to withstand daily use and abuse. There are residential products that you can purchase that have glass containers, but they are getting harder to find. I would recommend stopping into your local brick and mortar location and ask if they have blenders with glass containers. Best of luck.

Technically, yes. My husband tends to confuse those, and I have found many a plastic container with the lids that go to the glass ones. I don't think that was Rubbermaid's intention, but it's been nice to use those interchangeably.
