What we could not verify
- The lid is BPA-free Eastman Tritan plastic, and the blade assembly's seals were not described. It only fits full-size Vitamix blenders, so it needs the base machine, and the motor base and its wiring were not assessed. The container is an extra purchase on top of the blender.
- Sources are manufacturer or retailer pages; no independent laboratory test of this product was reviewed.
- Prices and availability change often; the observed price is dated and is not a signal of quality.

Why we reached this verdict
Vitamix lists the 48 oz Stainless Steel Container as stainless steel with laser-cut hardened stainless blades, and a lid of BPA-free Eastman Tritan, dishwasher safe, compatible with full-size Vitamix blenders and covered by a 3-year limited warranty. Most of the food-contact area is stainless, but the lid is plastic, the seals were not described, and it is an add-on to a blender you must already own.
