Is it worth getting? That depends…
Before purchasing this Vitamix dry grains container I read several reviews. Not just to determine if it lived up to its claims, but whether it was worth the investment. Because, let’s be real, anything with the name “Vitamix” on it is going to be expensive. Plus, I already have two containers: the default 64 oz that came with my Ascent 3500 and the 48 oz stainless steel container that I purchased separately. So I had to decide if it was REALLY necessary and worth the money to buy another container. Especially after I read a review that claimed this dry container was exactly the same as the wet container. Spoiler alert: it’s NOT the same.The difference between this container and the wet containers that are included with your machine are the blades. Visually, you can see they are somewhat different. The wet containers have blades that work to pull ingredients down like a vacuum to pulverize them. But the dry container blades push ingredients UP into the container. This is to minimize the risk of ingredients getting trapped under the blades and ensures a consistent grind. Put it this way: yes, you can technically use your wet container to achieve a similar result, just like you can use the dry container to blend smoothies, but the end result will likely not be as good as it would be if produced in the container for which it was intended.So here is what I would say: if you want the ability to grind dry ingredients but only occasionally, then I don’t think it’s worth getting a separate container. But if you like to grind your own coffee beans, create flour, chop nuts and/or make nut butters on a REGULAR basis then I absolutely do think it’s worth the investment. If anything just to have a dedicated container for wet or dry and distribute the workload between two blade types.Is it necessary to get this container? No. You definitely don’t NEED it. You can do these things in the wet container if need be. I just think the end result is better in this container for dry ingredients. It depends on how much of a perfectionist you are, how much storage you have for another container, and whether you plan to use it often enough to justify the price. Personally, I think it’s worth it. But you may decide it’s not. Hopefully this information helps you determine whether you should get it or forget it.

Only necessary because of user error
Replacement for our original Vitamix container. The last one broke when a metal utensil was left in the container and turned on. Cracked the side. Completely user error. Love love the Vitamix.
Frequent Buyer –
Amazing!
When I decided to start milling my own flower, I thought I was going to have to buy an expensive machine, but then I realized that vitamins had a flower jar, purchased it, and gave it a try. I love it! It does a great job and Iâm so glad I didnât have to spend $350 and more for a new machine. Thanks Vitamix!

Makes fine flour
Though it was âusedâ it looks like it was never used and was still in the original box with all the original paperwork. Though I wish this dry grains container for the vitamix was cheaper, Iâm very happy with it. Iâve already used it and it worked great for making fine flour.

Itâs Vitamix!
Love this for making my own flours. I can grind up anything and no more need to run out for flax flour, etc. As always, itâs a Vitamix so the quality is there.

Muy alta calidad, durabilidad y calidad alimenticia, el material del que está hecho no se raya ni degrada con facilidad, ni se agrieta si se cae ya que no están hechas de plástico normal sino de Tritan.
Amazon Customer –
Don’t buy – it’s a fake!!!Should have read the reviews first as others report the same. The chip is not recognized and my VitamixA3500 won’t run. Got this from US here to Dubai. It’s a shame.

It does not work on my Ascent⢠Series blender in Australia.
Linda A –
I put the container onto the assent series Vitamix and the Vitamix 3500 does not recognise it.

Although itâs written in the description that itâs self detect, my blender device (A3500) is not recognizing it as if there is nothing on top, Iâm so disappointed I had to order it from USA to Saudi Arabia
