Is the Wrench designed for Current Vitamix models? I don't even see it available on the Vitamix website for purchase.

Yes it is for current models. I don't see it on vitamix's website either which is weird. If you search on this site for vitamix container and wrenches (no blade). It has it with the wrench, but as it says, no blades are included. I looked at my wrench and it has vitamix's logo on it.

I am not sure if it works with the new models. I bought my Vitamix more than 10 years ago and still works as new. The wrench works fine with my model.

By filter wrench do you mean a classic universal old-time oil filter wrench or one of the sleeves that fit onto a socket wrench? The sleeves come in standard sizes and to my knowledge none of them fit this oil filter. It is extremely frustrating since the filter is in an awkward position on my Toyota to begin with. I have resorted to using both hands to unscrew the filter when changing it. I use one hand to put it on and tighten it and two to take it off. Doesn't leak and seems to work fine, but would sure appreciate it if Wix would make it so it fits one of the standard sleeve sizes.

I believe this dry container is supposed to work with all of the modern vitamix models but you might want to contact the nice folks at vitamix just to make sure. I bought the mini tamper for the 32 oz. container and feel that it does a FAR better job grinding with the help of the tamper than without. I've only ground both coffee beans for my expresso pot and wheat berries for my bread machine so far but have been VERY pleased with the results:) Fresh ground flour tastes better than ANYTHING you can purchase from the local healthfood or specialty gourmet store. The only two drawbacks I've found with this container so far are: 1 - the noise, ( pretty BAD! Cover your ears when grinding!). 2 - Get your kitchen timer running when you flip the switch because grinding for OVER 2 min. will make the flour compact and damage your motor! (there's a bright blue paper in the container's box warning you about this). Other than that, getting this container and the smaller tamper would be fantastic for anyone who has a vitamix and wants to expand upon it's capabilities..

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

They have more experience with the Vitamix if a problem develops. However, what have you got to lose if you try tightening it. Just don't overdo 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.

This model was made to fit the Vitamix blenders - A Blendtec designed container to work with a Vitamix base. There is a different model of this container that fits the Blendtec.

I do not know. There is a special container and blade to grind nuts. Go to the Vitamix website for the most accurate information. After investing in this item you do not want to jeopardize your investment through inappropriate use .

No it's not. Call technical support. They many have to replace your wrench. I had one problem with mine, and they replaced it for free, including shipping and return. Great company to do business with.

Just a comment about replacing the blade assembly for 3600. We also need to replace ours, and emailed the vitamix customer service directly. The response back said that we can replace the blade assembly for the 3600 and 4000 models by ordering part #000063 from them. $85.00 plus tax/shipping. Their customer service number is 1-800-848-2649 option #2. Hope this is helpful to someone

Dear Bob, honestly I would recommend you call Vita-Mix directly. The model you have is their home version blender. They might be willing to exchange it for the correct blade set directly with you. 800.848.2649 one, eight hundred, eight four eight, two six four nine.

This tamper is designed to fit the tall narrow bottomed 64 oz. container. The 5200 is available with the tall 64 oz. container or with the shorter 48 oz. container. If your Vitamix has the tall 64 oz. container, this is the correct tamper for that container.

This is a "Wet Blade" assembly that will work on either 64 or 32 oz containers, but WILL NOT work on a 48 oz container. I believe the containers fit all the various Vita Mix bases (mine is a 5200), but I'm not positive about that. If you do get this blade assembly, I would highly recommend that you also purchase the blade removal wrench as it makes the job very easy! I hope this info was helpful!

I believe the model is the same, but the color is different. The stainless steel color is more expensive on the vitamix website. Shipping is also faster with amazon.

This wrench is used to open the "housing" to access the filter. Although many of these filters can be used interchangeably between housing brands, the wrench must match the brand of the "housing". For example: I can use GE Filters and Culligan Filters with my Culligan "housing", but I need the culligan wrench to open my culligan filter housing. You must determine which brand housing you have. You could use a simple "automoble oil filter type wrench" that consists of an adjustable strap that wraps around the housing. This solution would not depend on the brand you have since it does not rely on fitting into the notches of the housing to work. Each brand's notches are different. I hope this makes sense.

Look at Vitamix.com website because they have an international office as well. I suggest you call company directly as they are very helpful and will gear you the proper direction. You may need to buy international version one.
