This states it comes with the "Patented Tamper for processing thicker mixtures" but is not in the pictures. Does the tamper come with this Vitamix?

It does! However, this machine is so powerful that I hardly use the tamper, albeit I pure in batches, not overload or fill container to the max level. You will wonder how you ever did without this machine.

Yes mine did and I didn't understand that for the same reason so bought a separate one....unnecessary! The tamper is great for pushing down greens in smoothies that do not easily fall to the bottom of a full container during the programmed time. No need to buy one! Great machine !

I suppose it would depend on how deep the blender is compared to the Vitamix. This fits perfectly with the Vitamix so that the bottom of the tamper will not hit the blade. Otherwise I imagine it would work.

This fits on the vitamix right out of the box. I love it & have been using it for a few months to make smoothies daily. It makes great smoothies with easier cleanup & wasted ingredients than vitamix. The vortex it creates sucks the ingredients down more vigorously than the vitamix jar. No tamper is needed. However, the vitamix jar is superior for making bnt butters & frozen desserts because of the tamper. Hope this helps There is another jar (rebel) that requires you to substitute a blendtec drive on your vitamix.

Yes it is! this tamper fits a 5000 and 5200 vitamix. I have the 5000 vitamix. But before ordering the part from Amazon and replacing the old tamper I asked representative of Vitamix at Costco this question and showed him the picture of tamper from Amazon. I was told that 5000 5200 Vitamix are the same and it is going to fit and the representative was right. It fits and it is great.

It comes with plastic tamper but I'd recommend buying a stainless steel one. Also it does not come with frothing pitcher so you'll have to buy one.

I have the Costco Vitamix (basic model.) I do not use the tamper with this container -- it's not necessary. Plus, it's too big -- the tamper would hit the blades cause the tamper is for the 64 oz container, and this container is much smaller. The grains grind so quickly, but the key is to not put more than a cup or two in at a time.

You need to contact the company from which you purchased this. The tamper is part of the package; apparently, it was omitted in error.

Don't bother. There is a problem with those units. I would recommend getting a vitamix unit, which is what we have now.

I don't know. I don't have it anymore. I brought a Vitamix. I was tried of replacing the blades..its not worth it.

I had to order a new one after"someone" put the one that came with the Vitamix in without lid and shortened it....rather ugly. So I ordered this one and it looks the same and the weight feels the same as the Vitamix one. I layed them side by side and saw no difference (except for the mangled end of original). It works just like the Vitamix original one. Hard to believe it was at such a good price... So to answer your question....I don't know if it is the "actual" one but it works perfectly.

No, this one is too long for the low profile 64 oz. container. Call Vitamix Customer Service. You can get a replacement tamper through them.

It doesn't come with a tamper, but if you use it in your kitchen your plugs ahould be tampered.Mine has worked perfectly since I bought it, no problems whatsoever with anything. I juice every day, and make my own nut butters and flours. I highly reccomend this product.

Yes, it comes with the tamper. I make lots of smoothies with kale and other leafy greens so find it useful for getting everything blended.

no, you do not need one. this unit will whip anything you put in it to a liquid without a tamper. vita mix needs one.the design of this unit does not require a tamper. i have two of these units and they are excellant.

NO, you need the MINI TAMPER found here: http://www.amazon.com/Vitamix-Mini-tamper-48-ounce-Free-Tamper/dp/B00B32N4PC/ref=sr_1_1?m=A268FO3IPAT5Y&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1427326562&sr=1-1&keywords=mini Otherwise this tamper will be too long and contact the blade when pushed through the lid during use.

I have a Pro 750, and just got this dry container. It fits fine. It fits within the little feet that hold the wet container. The wet container sits outside of these same little feet. The tamper that comes with the 750 Pro is too long for the 32 oz dry container. You need a mini tamper. Amazon does not include the Vitamix product number for their tampers, so I ordered directly from Vitamix. I did my first run of cracked grains without the tamper and with 2 cups of wild rice. I wish I had done only 1 cup, and that I had had the tamper.

Its not supposed to do that. You should return it where you purchased it, or contact vitamix for warranty and repair procedure.
