I have the 64oz container. I primarily make juices &amp; soup for one or two. Which do you think would be the most useful (first) addition? 32oz or 48oz?

The main advantage to the smaller container is that it is shorter, allowing the blender can fit under a standard cabinet. Personally, I would not go down to a 32 oz container; the 48 oz fits under my cabinets and handles most everything. I rarely pull out my larger container now. Don't forget that you need room in the container for the blending process. You could never actually put anywhere near 32 oz of food in a 32 oz container.

I just tested the one I have using a measuring cup.. I got 32 ounces somewhat comfortably. I pushed it up to 36oz but it was really close to the edge.

I just tested it and maximum capacity is 2 quarts(64oz) but I wouldn't recommend that much. I would say 1(32oz) to 1.5(48oz) quarts would be enough for big uses.

I'm sorry but I can't help you there. My hydroflask is 28 oz. and it is a tight fit in my Neosling. Maybe there are other Neoslings that are bigger to fit your 64 oz. hydroflask. Good luck!

If you do not need the larger carafe, 68oz vs 48 oz, buy the 605XL. I have used the 800 every day since Nov 2013 for juicing & although it is well made & strong, the blending of the contents is so violent you cannot remove the lid while blending! It does not have an EASY start! Adding while bending, like protein or liquor, can only be done thru the cap. The 68oz capacity yields 3 tall glasses. If I did not need that, I would purchase the 605.Hope that helps!

Wow. I can't add 2+2 or tell a foot from a kilometer, but here's my best guess. I took a liquid measuring cup and poured 250 ML in the small, inner container and it just barely fit. I was able to put 300 ML in the larger, bottom container. Please keep in mind that the smaller container has a plastic lid that is spill resistant, but not spill proof. The larger peice is good for solid foods, but if your food it juicy at all, it'll make a big mess. I hope that's helpful.

One more thing....if you are just now ordering replacements for you kit be aware of the 2 oz bottles. They are WAY too big for most of us and will have to be discarded before you are ab,e to use them up. I made that mistake. Go for the small bottles

I have the tall jar. Even though it holds 64 ozs vs. the 48 oz smaller jar, I am considering buying the short jar because the tall one collects and traps ground particles beneath the blades. I believe that the short jar is wider at the base so this is less likely to occur.

It comes with a 64oz container..never considered it wet vs. dry..a CD, Recipe book and a plunger. It's awesome!

I think the larger, 2 gallon would be more practical. It would give you more room for reaching in to take out marshmallows, the grahams, luscious chocolate bars. More room so no need to pack the ingredients in too tightly. Best wishes. Have fun.

Yes, you can use the original Vitamix tamper with the tall 64 oz container and the short 32 oz container. The ridges that you see in the photo are there to prevent it from going too deep in the smaller container. It is probably better to buy the actual smaller one though (which I don't see on Amazon). I've used mine (came with my 5200) without problems in both containers.

The container size is the limit, but you only need a small amount of water. You can pile in as many veggies that fit. I use 6 ounces which is a single serving size for 3 minutes.

I've always purchased the 24.81 oz size, and the price has been in the $40 area. I would stick with the 24.81 oz size if I were you! The product is fantastic!

Apparently there are 2 sizes. You pick the one you want. I have the 17 oz which is close to a pint. I have one that's a little bigger than a quart, but I don't have one 77 oz. That would be bigger than a half gallon.

i agree that the jar is not very accurate by the measurement. but i never had 2.5 cups of leftover! that's a bit too much... i usually put in 6oz yogurt (1 of those store bought, or one jar from last batch), then add 18 oz of milk. that'd do. once you do a few batches, you'll have a pretty good idea of how much you need to put in there. Or you can always use the cups that come with it to measure. that'd never go wrong. on a different note, if you ever have extra leftover mixture, just drink it. :) I like it that way anyways. sometimes if i made the yogurt too sour, i just add some milk, and do a yogurt drink. you can use that for smoothy as well. don't waste it~ :)

It depends. Sometimes I use 8oz. setting and if I want stronger then 6. For my kids I use 8oz. setting.

I had to order the tamper tool separately from Vitamix, but it may be available through Amazon. If you purchase the Vitamix and order the 32oz container, the tamper for the 64oz will be too wide for the 32oz container. Hope this helps!
