re the -&gt; 40 &lt;- ounce container: can you get a hand into this to clean?

No, I would get stuck at the knuckles. However, it's plenty wide for a bottle brush, sponge brush, or just a wooden spoon and dish cloth. I find no problem cleaning at all.

I'm unable to squeeze my hand to clean the inside of the pitcher... the narrowest part of the pitcher's neck has a diameter of about 2 3/8 inches... I use a pair of cooking thongs and a sponge to scrub the inside of the pitcher.

Yes, I have the same problem. Could not use it till it's empty. Works well for cleaning though.

I don't know, I have the older 64 oz container. Definitely worth a call to Vitamix to find out.

On our Kurig at work, I use the 8oz button so I have room for cream, but I guess the capacity in total is about 10 ounces. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher, but thats just me. Apparently, it messes up the battery indicator. Just hand wash it. I've hand washed mine a hundred times, and its good as new.

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.

You can squeeze it out if you squeeze really hard, I think. I haven't tried. But it wouldn't be easy :)

I've regularly collected 1.5-2oz on my over-productive a side. When that full, draining into a bottle is a little harder but not impossible - just need both hands to avoid spilling. Or just empty mid-feeding/more frequently.

It also helps if you set it upside down inside a glass or something to hold it. That leaves both hands free. Also, I agree about only buying the big size. It still only holds about 4.5 ounces - just barely over half a cup! I wish they made even bigger ones!

In theory yes, but chances are they're slimy on the inside and at that point it just like trying to seal a greasy wet ziplock. How does that usually turn out? Only you can't pinch out the wet stuff with strength and motivation. Imagine turning that over to a three yeaar old. You're at the mercy of a cheap contraption pushing .5 oz of pressure with an ashtmatic pump gasping for air. Spent $50 making that truffle oil cheese lasagna with fresh basil? Faahhgettabboutttitt

I think the larger container will do the job. I haven't had to use mine yet, but that is the reason I purchased it.

Hi - Sorry you're having trouble. This thing is adorable! But the nozzle on our jar is the pits. My husband was trying to pour lemonade for guests and gave up - and used a soup scoop to get the liquid out of the top of it. A real disappointment. I'm not looking at mine (it's in a box high up on a shelf) - but - it seems to me if you can figure out how to unscrew the nozzle, you could then replace the washer. I'm sure you can find the correct size of washer in a hardware store. While you're at it, you might consider getting a completely new nozzle set up. I think I need to do the same thing. Sorry I couldn't help you more. Good luck!

I also had the same problem, had to transfer the entire container to a larger container. I will not buy this brand again, it is very strong and you just can't keep it sealed in the container it came in. I ended up throwing it all out.

No it seems you are missing a part. There should be a long plastic 1/4 inch wide container that you can fill up with water (it holds only about an ounce or so of water). It has a sort of magnet on it and it sits on the bottom of mint cleaner and you also wrap the cloths around it. I do wet that cloth a bit to give it a little cleaning "boost".
