Any advise to go with the tall jar vs the short jar?

I own both versions: gave the original to my parents and by the time I went to buy my replacement, the short version came out. Short Jar is the newer version, likely meant to mimic the newer Vitamix squat jar type. With the short jar, it barely fits under cabinets, but it does fit. Personally, I think it looks better too. Base of the units are identical, except in coloring. Short version has red accents. While I have not done a side by side comparison, I get the feeling that the tall jar blends a bit better. I think the blades are identical between the 2 jars, but the more narrow profile of the tall jar seems to suck material towards the blades a bit better. I feel like I've had to use the plunger a bit more in the squat jar, since it's wider and didn't seem to homogenize as well by itself. At the end of the day, however, for me, the short jar allows me to keep it on the counter and actually use it on a whim, vs. stuff it away and have it fall out of mind. So, in terms of living with it, I'd vote for short.

I only have the tall jar, but it works great for me. My husband and I drink a quart of green smoothie every morning and the tall jar is the perfect size. I've had my blender for over a year now and it works great.

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.

The short. The tall one that I bought holds more but hard to clean and get the food out.

The short jar is a poor design, because the blade assembly is held with a very heavy steel ring under the container. This throws the balance off completely and makes it difficult to pour/scoop out the blend. The weight distribution is awful, since you can't even let the container sit tilted in a pot, for example, to let gravity pull the stuff out. If the tall container is all plastic, similar to the Vitamix, and therefore lighter and better balanced, I would go with that. Issue about not fitting under the counter is nonsense--just store with the container OFF the motor.

I only have the tall jar. Doesn't store in cabinet easily but still love it.

Definitely go with the larger version. We have two and it will last for a while.

Good Morning from Butler,mn: In response to your question regarding the pint jar as an additional jar... The answer is no. As I have tried both the regular & wide mouth jars. To no avail. I hope this answers your curiosity.

Hi Maggie, you may have enough with a lb of jimmies. I usually rather have left over than possibly be short so maybe buy a 16 oz and the a smaller one just in case if they sell it. If you know you will use these jimmies again, then just go with 2 and use the leftovers on other baked goods.

I was thinking of trying out a baby food lid. The jar seems like it is the same size as a stage one baby food jar. Hope that helps you with your question.

I wouldn't go higher than about half an inch from the top. I have had no problems with liquids or powders as long as you don't completely fill the jar.

I haven't used either one of them. But I can tell you that I've only used it a total of 3 times. Number 1, it takes to long to open then close around the cap. Number 2, 2 out of 3 times it pops off the lid. You think it's lined up well (and it is) before it just pops off of the lid. Number3, The lid can't be larger then a pickle jar. So it's not useful for 1/2 the jars I need help opening. To be honest I just gave up trying. I've gone back to tapping the jar lid on the kitchen table or hitting it around the lid with a heavy spoon. Like most things I bought that was "As seen on TV" it was a waste of my time and Cash.

I've only used pints and quarts. It sits flat so would probably be OK on smaller jars as well.

I would recommend the Sebring over the Lido in your hubby's case because the shorter track on the Lido would make it inappropriate for taller people. If you are looking for a running treadmill, you would need to compare all the Yowza treadmills and go with the one with the longer track. Good luck~

either would work. However, I would prefer the longer model because of more energy created with less effort........

Regular is perfect for 2 people, it works great for virtually anything you want to cook. Bigger is always better. Especially better for tall stuff with a foil tent.

I would get the longer one. I'm 5'6" and need every inch of the long one. You can't go shorter but you can always work with longer.

This works for me by using the top shelf for big jars and cans. The other shelves are too narrow for them. Standard size jars and cans fit on the lower two with no problems. I keep the unit pulled forward toward the front of my cabinet to assure the room for the big stuff even if there needs to be some overhang.

I don't know whether there is a difference. I bought based on size and this is rather large.... much larger than the two-quart jars I'm used to see used for canning fruit.

There is no difference. Not sure why you are seeing it as more expensive. I'd just try to get the larger one at the lowest price you can find.

No. I use the longer one ( perfect for mixing in a mug)all the time the short one sits in the drawer..

In the case of two 4 oz bottles you have two containers, two labels, and processing costs that are double the cost of a single 8 oz bottle. So it is always more economical to buy the larger bottle , if you need that much. Also, remember that shelf life is about a year from manufacturing because there are no preservatives in the product. So, this is what we recommend: for short hair and as facial moisturizer, 2 oz bottle; longer hair, facial moisturizer, some body use such as hands, feet, elbows, 4 oz; to share, set of 2 4 oz bottles; all uses, including whole body moisturizing and as bath oil; 8 oz.
