I have the grain bowl and love it! For truly fresh flours, it is only way to go and the flavor shows up in your baked goods. Right now (2022), there is a problem getting the whole grains but that should be fine again after all are recovered from the effects of the panemic and supply issues.

He's very good. The last Vitamix rep that I spoke with at Costco didn't even know my blender when I told him I have the Pro 750. His associate had to explain it to him. So, the person in the video is doing an excellent job.
this is the first time i've seen someone explain the difference between vitamix and other blenders the way i do which is would you rather try to whack at something with a sharp blade or a hammer. he says it a bit differently but i ask people would they rather try to pulverize a seed with a samurai sword or a hammer
Excellent, I just bought the Vitamix equipped with both containers and a few additional stuff - I can ´t wait - and this guy makes me even more confident having made the right choice.
Great demo!!! I have five containers, including the dry and the Aer, the tall (original), short and wide base. Love my VM!! My model won’t work with the small containers though 😟
"the blades arent sharp" i grew up only using a vitamix & somehow never realized regular blenders have sharp blades till i was in my 20s. My bf's mom was so confused when i explained the blade doesnt come out for washing like other blenders (hers was the first i saw taken apart) & i was confused as to why i would get cut 😂
I bought the dry blade container many years ago when it was first introduced. I love it. Use is regularly for whole wheat flour and cornmeal. Unlike the stupid AER container, this is worth every penny.
Yes. The Aer container has many bad reviews. I want the stainless steel container. But I must say, as expensive as Vitamix is, the container that it comes with, should be all you need to do everything.
I don't find the AER container stupid. I'm making the most amazing scrambled eggs with it. I "whip" heavy cream into the eggs with the aer then cook them. I'm getting the dry container too though because I've also been making bread lately and buying my flour. Cheers
@@isaachaze1 Those are some expensive eggs! After nearly 40 years of VitaMix models, I expect them to earn their keep; the AER container doesn't for me. And I know how to muddle drinks very well by hand...
@@loveisall5520 the aer is kind of limited. but I've been experimenting with scrambled eggs for a long time trying to get better than a restaurant. for the first time, my scrambled eggs are better than any restaurant (my opinion and my significant other's). For that alone, it's worth it. But I understand why it would be disappointing to some.
Just ordered my Dry Container today. I got a bit freaked when the Vitamix website goosed up the price about $50, so I made a mad dash to find an online vendor who didn't get the memo yet. I'll experiment with flours, but I got this powders -- particularly peppers. Also, I've collected a slew of DYI Dry Mix recipes.
If you want to use the small jar to grind a small potion of coffee if you put ice in with it would it stop it being cooked by the blades? And you could then cook it on the stove I prefer to do then using any of those machines that use aluminium in the filters etc
You might be able to but would not get the best results. You can use the dry container for general use as well but it is not going to do the best job. With the dry container, bowl the bowl and blades are designed to mill the flour. The bowl really is shaped differently. If that is all you will use it for, it might not be worth it as it would not do as good a job as the "regular" bowl for the job. However, if you want to do any milling, it is worth every penny!
I don’t see why not. My grandma uses it to make her own spices (cardamom with the shell, cinnamon, black pepper etc ) for her chai. Salt is dry so I can’t see why it can’t be used. I’ve seen it used to turn sugar to powdered sugar as well.
Hi Shasmi, I Guess you bought the dry container too, 1. Is it really Grinding a small spoon of flax or cumin or pepper? I had read a review saying it just blows to top of jar and we need minimum a cup or two of ingredients. 2.Which container is much more efficient in making idly/dosa batter? wet or dry? 3.Also I would be regularly making a small qty of Ginger Garlic paste, is dry jar recommended for that? as wet needs minimum 2 cups of ingredients to pickup the load.
Yuvaraj Ravi, yeah grinding small quantity of seeds is very easy in the dry container, I have literally used quantity used for each meal and grinded and it’s always been perfect. I use the wet container for idli dosa batter. For ginger garlic paste I use the small 20 oz or 8 oz cups, it’s easier to make chutneys, ginger garlic paste.
I bought this . But small cups and take away cups don’t work for me I never can reach at zero If by chance it happens I never can open it because it’s too tight .i need someone ‘s help. I don’t understand why did you make this one so hard .It should be easy like big jar. I am going to return it. I will by the with big jar only.Any idea when Costco has it on sale. First I bought the simple one .Then I saw this one and bought it. I was so happy that I have the full set of this. But big no no no .If you can help me plz do. Thanks Only
No. Each container has its own built-in blade system. The blades do not remove from the Vitamix containers as they do for other blenders (except for the smalll container that he used for coffee, or the blending cups and even then, the blade is part of the lid and does not separate.)
In addition to what Sashine B. said, the bowls and blades are designed to work together for the best results. Even if you could interchange them, you would not get the best results.
@@GlennaVan actually, the containers of similar volume are identical; the blades make the difference. Regardless, you're not supposed to remove the blade assembly from the container unless it needs to be replaced.
@@HotVoodooWitch I did NOT say I removed the blades! I said the blades and bowls are designed to work together. To clarify, the shape of the grain bowl is different as is the blade. They are designed to work together to get the best milled product. Please read BOTH sentences for what is actually typed there! And re-read what Sashine B said which is what I expanded on.
he says you CAN do it but with the wet container it'll destroy the aesthetic of the container by making it cloudy, which is 'damage' they don't cover under warranty because the container still works with full utility, it's just cosmetic damage only.
@@SKRUBL0RD Perhaps if cloudiness is a problem the stainless steel container is the way to go. However, the best thing to do for milling is to have the dry container which is designed for that purpose.
The dry container has been available since at least the 5000 and for all I know, the 4500 (no variable speed) as well. Back then, it was identical to the tall 64-oz. container (they show up on eBay). Once the 32-oz. container was introduced, the size of the dry container went to 32 ounces. The 48-oz. dry container came along with the introduction of the Ascent Series. Perhaps you''re thinking back to the days of the old Vita-Mixer 4000 and prior--one steel container with a spigot that was used for everything. The wet container isn't optimal for nut flours.
@@SKRUBL0RD worse than that. If you're blending something with a strong odor, the odor will tend to get caught in the micro-etching. Best to have a dry container if you need to grind and make powdered sugar.
Brunda Chouthoy rice flour comes out like the store bought ones, the consistency is like fine powder. Never tried out for wheat though, it shouldn’t be that different. It really grinds everything into fine powder in a minute.
no its not worth it. the blades heat up the flour, and i dont think the nutrients survive that heat. got a grain mill instead for way cheaper than this container with settings that make ultra fine pastry flour, which is something the vitamix cannot do.

Is it good to use as a spice grinder for small quantities?
That Indian lady is all spiced up
Thank u for the upload.... can the dry grinder be used for dosa batter, chutneys , nut butters where it requires very little water? Thanks!
Good question. 🤔
I wouldn't use it for nut butters. The wet blade container is made for doing that.

I have a 320 vitamix explorian can the dry container work with it
does it comes with two jar?
I have a Vitamix... I have never experienced the “vacuum” or any special effect. It revs, for sure, but it all gets stuck at the bottom anyway.
Hi, please can you answer on my question? Dry container-will blend dry vegetables with salt in to powder spice
Nataša Rogina I heard people have successfully made mushroom salt from dried mushroom, so I believe you can do it for other veggies as well.
I don’t see why not. My grandma uses it to make her own spices (cardamom with the shell, cinnamon, black pepper etc ) for her chai. Salt is dry so I can’t see why it can’t be used. I’ve seen it used to turn sugar to powdered sugar as well.
What is this model?
Go to 5:10 and 5:50 min and see the difference in the intensity of the taps he did with the jars for demonstrating the puck phenomenon.
Great catch!
Blades don't cut, that's a good safety point for Vitamix
Yeah, and it says a lot about how they manage to blend so well. I love my Vitamix, wouldn't be without it.
Can it make turmeric powder.... 😢
Can I do dry orange peel to power ?
I hope we can do that never tried it, I will try it out soon and let you know.
Which model if vitamix I should buy to grind? It doesn't say which one it is.
Any will work - the difference is the container itself. The bowl and blades are designed differently.
