Ridiculous container detect issue
Rae B — 1 out of 5 stars
I've had this blender for a little over a year and a half. In that time, the blender base has stopped recognizing the blender container twice. The blender becomes completely non-functional when this happens. The first time happened within two weeks of receiving it and after 3 uses. Vitamix sent me a replacement blender container. I assumed it was just a fluke until this evening when I was deep into cooking and needed the blender. Again, the blender base did not recognize the blender container. This time it was the second container. Shame on Vitamix for putting this unnecessary restriction on what should be a simple kitchen appliance. I wonder how many other people this has happened to and how much waste it's generated with blender containers that are perfectly good except the ID chip in the container. Vitamix didn't even ask me to return the first container so they might refurbish it, so it's basically just an expensive paperweight. Don't buy this blender if you need something reliable.
