A pre-owned classic Vitamix blender base with Variable Speed Control allows you to perfect every dish and texture, while the 48-ounce container stores easily on the counter for convenient daily use. Create Every Texture Ten variable speeds allow you to refine every texture with culinary precision, from the smoothest purées to the heartiest soups. Medium Batches The size and shape of the 48-ounce container is ideal for blending medium batches for small family meals. Measurements on Container + Lid Every Vitamix container is clearly marked with ounce and cup measurements. Even the lid plug has a 2-ounce measurement line. Metal drive system Instead of plastic components that wear quickly, Vitamix uses a metal drive system to connect the container to the motor base—allowing better blends and longer lifespan.
