Quite large...4 1/2" diameter x 6" top to blade measurement. Entire cup size is 7" from top to bottom. Other one is puny and havent used it yet....3.5 x 6" tall but strangely enough it fits inside of the large one with lots of wiggle room. It is like ur typical drinking glass but too small for anything that I drink. It seems to b quite powerful. Hope this helps!

My wife and I have a smoothie every morning that includes a level scoop of this product. I cannot tell you the exact number of days a container lasts when taking two scoops of it per day but it is well over a month even though the container says it yields 60 servings. We are purchasing the 12.8 oz. size. The container says each scoop is six grams and the container has 364 oz. so that would equal a bit over 60 servings. We use level scoops of it whereas someone else might use a heaping scoop and would get fewer servings per container.

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.

It would be nice to know how to sharpen the blades. I don't know how MK got four years. I didn't get much more than 3 months making smoothies before the blade started slowing down and requiring more water to get through the strawberries.

The Ninja will work great for frozen drinks. I have a regular blender also but it is worthless when I add ice to it. That is why I got the Ninja.

With the fruit holder and ice tube, about 25oz, without the ice tube about 30oz, just the pitcher holds about 39oz. It's a pretty nice size! I love it, I also happened to get a quality supplier!

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 have the larger size 'WildSide' jar using the single wing-tip blade. It's probably called the 4-inch blade because it measures about 3 3/4" across. This machine performs better than any kitchen appliance I've ever used, and I use it every day! If it quit now I would immediately get another one just like it.

I'm sorry but I actually can't answer that. I haven't bought anything smaller than a gallon in a long time. I know that a while back, it was on their website that they were making some changes to packaging, some being glass containers i believe. It definitely should be noted but i would suggest asking nutiva what that size comes in. Also, even though i'd rather glass too,it's just as awesome in the plastic. Hope that helps!

First off, this one is not small. It's actually one of the largest single serve blenders available, especially at this price. Basically, you put your fruits, ice, etc in the cup, screw on the blade, turn it over and lock it into the base. Blend, unlock, turn over. Replace the blade with the top and go.

Don't know the diameter, but I drink thick fruit smoothies with no problem.

I returned mine quickly. It is a glorified blender. The sugar allows it to stay "slushy" longer...

this is a juicer, not a blender, but a 2nd disc can be used to make smoothies, but i've never made smoothies before myself. i'm a juicer. this is a VERY powerful machine you can use for a very long time.

Hi Carol. The blades on one of the attachments is metal and very sharp/the others are plastic. The ice crusher, smoothie one you use the metal one. But it is just like a knife, be careful how you handle it in the dishwasher, etc. Also, something I keep messing up on: Put the attachment in FIRST before your food... It might be common sense to most but I had a previous one that didn't allow removal pieces.

Works great chopping greens. We put greens in our smoothies with ice and fruit. No issues. We make ours in bowl because all of our cups are too narrow

I'm sorry but the glass container broke shortly after buying the blade. I chose to go to a different blender, rather than replace the glass since this was the third cutter I've had to buy.
