Another option is to buy the Waring model that comes with this container, although the Waring warranty is not as long as Vitamix’s, and they are not as home-customer friendly as Vitamix. But this is the only stainless steel option for current Vitamix models. Keep in mind, however, that neither Waring nor Vitamix have approved their products for use with the other company’s products, so if any damage occurs, the warranty may be voided. Further, Waring makes a stainless steel container that fits the Vitamix drive shaft. Waring makes a line of high speed blenders that uses the same 12-splined coupling that Vitamix does, and somewhat surprisingly, the Waring pitchers fit on current Vitamix models. I personally don’t think the risk is high, and I am continuing to use my Tritan containers, but I understand if you want to avoid them.

Mother Jones has covered how BPA-free may not be helpful when it comes to avoiding estrogenic plastics. Some people don’t like the way a plastic container gets scratched up over time, and others are concerned about preparing food in any sort of plastic container. (The old stainless steel Vitamix containers are not compatible with the current Vitamix models.) Then in 2007 Vitamix switched over to BPA-free Tritan copolymer. Vitamix used to make their containers out of stainless steel, but in the early ’90s they switched over to transparent polycarbonate to allow you to see what you are blending. If you’ve been wondering, this page is for you! Here’s a direct link to the new container.Ī number of people have asked me if there is a stainless steel or glass Vitamix jar. In my opinion, it is better than the Waring one described below. Update: Check out my review of the Vitamix Stainless Steel container (released in July 2020).
