Pros & Cons
Pros
It fits snug but works. And it fits the base of my 5200 very nicely!
The replacement part here is great quality and better pricing than a y of my vendors through the restaurant. Perfect oem replacement.
Cons
Plastic is thinner/lower grade plastic, not as sturdy. The material is not same thickness as original & a special wrench to change the blade over.
Highlights
Quality
It is easy to install and fitt the old blade from the broken vitamix fits well and works well
Perfect fit on my professional series 500 old blade assembly worked great unlike a knock off i tried previously
Ours cracked after many years of use
It comes without the blade you can unscrew the blade sharpen them and then hand screw it into this one or buy a new blade
Price
I’m still glad i saved over 100 compared to the full replacement even though 40 for a piece of plastic is still a lot
Exactly what we needed we bought the blade top and this separately and it was under 80 total
It just wasnt worth paying an extra 100 for the rubber handle
Save yourself 100 and get this replacement
Shipping
It arrived some days before i actually expected it
Packaging/appearance
Unit came in a factory box with custom packaging
Good luck sourcing your containerthe box the container came in had vitamix branding as did the directions inside see pics for reference
Replaced a container that the base was cracked on
Also you need the top pieces the container is so clear looking forward to finally seeing what we are blending
Competitiveness
Nice quality great price from the oem directly better than what i saw on ebay
This was as good as the original
