The 48 ounce container is exactly what I expected. So happy with it and I made my first smoothie the minute I got it I highly recommend it.

Very well made. Nice smaller size

A wonderful addition to my A3500 series! I use my 48 oz for my delicious green smoothies and 64 oz for everything else! No issues, just love!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the Ascent A3500 blender and was getting frustrated, almost to the point of returning it. My batches just never blended the way I wanted or had experienced in my original Vitamix. For example, I especially like to make whole fruit sorbets with frozen fruit. Mine would just spin around the blades and never get smooth enough. I read some reviews about the smaller container and decided to try. OMG! I feel like I should tell my 3500 I'm sorry, it's not you it was me! I was using too large of a container. Now I get the perfect blend every time. If you make batches for just 1 or 2 servings, this smaller container is a MUST.

Ive had my vitamix for several years and really like the size of the smaller blender
