Vitamix Dry Grains Container Classic

Hello Hans,
thank you for your message.
Unfortunately, Vitamix does not want the customer to do repairs themselves.
The blade unit could be replaced as part of a repair (by a Vitamix-authorized customer service). However, disassembly and assembly should be carried out “professionally”, as in case of incorrect procedure, the safety of the blender user is no longer guaranteed.

Best regards,

Hello Jana,

Thank you for your message.
Only one container can help you with all these preparations, the 1.4-liter wet container – it allows you to prepare liquid and viscous foods.
The grinding container, on the other hand, is optimized for dry applications such as grinding coffee or grain.
The 1.4 liter container has minimum preparation quantity of 250 ml for liquid and 400 ml for viscous food.

Hello Edith,

thank you very much for your message.

We have not yet ground lupins -(seeds) in our high-speed blenders. However, it should generally not be a problem. Please note, however, that the plastic can become cloudy/blind if hard ingredients are processed frequently!

Kind regards from Berlin :- )

Hello Karin,

thank you very much for your message

The blades of the wet container are designed in such a way that the ingredients are guided to the blades by suction. The blades of the dry container cause a propeller effect – thus the dry ingredients are whirled upwards and thus crushed.

You can also prepare wet things with the dry container – it just won't be quite as creamy as with the wet container.

Please let us know if you have any questions :- )

Kind regards,

Hello Marthe,
You can use it to grind flaxseed and nuts. The blades must be covered, the minimum quantity is about 250 ml.

Hello Sabine,

thank you very much for your message.

The name: wet and dry containers are misleading. You can process all ingredients in both containers – only the blades in the containers differ.

With the dry container, ingredients can be ground very well. Therefore, we refer to this container as a grinding container.

With the wet container, ingredients can be blended very well. Therefore, we refer to this container as a blending container.

The containers also produces the same results when grinding ingredients.

The purchase of a grinding container makes sense if ingredients are regularly ground that leave a taste in the container, as is the case, for example, with coffee or dried wild herbs etc.


Kind regards from Berlin!

Hello Eveline,

thank you very much for your message

If you want to pulverize vegetables or similar, the ingredients should be completely dry. If this is not the case, the mix will stick together. So let everything dry even longer :-)

Hello Elias,

thank you very much for your question.

Grinding dried plant roots should be possible without any problems with a high-speed blender. We have not yet tried this, but we have been able to grind other ingredients such as cereals, coffee beans or dried nettle seeds without any problems. This does not require an extra grinding container. We only recommend this if you want to grind regularly, at least once a week. Frequent grinding will cause the container to turn blind over time – a second container therefore is useful if you would like to have a nice-looking container.
I would recommend the Vitamix TNC 5200 - it is an all-rounder for large and small quantities. And of course, you can also grind with it.

Many greetings,

Hello Laura,

Thank you for your question.

Basically, you can reheat/blend soups in the Vitamix to make them creamy, but the soup should be cooled below 100 degrees.

Hello Katharina,

Thank you for the question.

The grinding container is definitely not recommended. Nor the 0.9 liter wet container. The 0,9 liter container does not really have any advantages over the 1,4 liter container.
The 1.4-liter container would also be the only one left to choose from. Advantages over the 2-liter container from the TNC 5200 would be easier scraping and cleaning after preparation.

However, the minimum quantities are identical to the 2-liter container, so nothing would change.
Depending on what exactly you find inconvenient, that might be a solution.

Hello Claudia,

thank you very much for your questions.

Unfortunately, no one here has experience with dried grasses or dried ginger. However, as long as you stick to the minimum preparation quantities, we don't see a problem.

Hi Lily,

thank you for the question.

Basically, all 3 preparations you mentioned are possible in the Pro 750. However, there are restrictions:

1. Coconut blossom sugar sticks to the container wall and is processed faster in the additional 1,4 liter container.

2. Nut purée requires at least 800 ml of volume. That's neat.

3. Oats are not a problem at all.

Therefore, in your case, we would advise buying the Pro750 in combination with the 1,4 liter or grinding container.

Best regards,

Hello Marina Riemer,

thank you very much for your comment. The wording was a little unfortunate on our part.

Of course, the grinding container does not need to be used once a week. However, we only recommend it if you expect to grind frequently.

People how only grind occasionally, do not need it in our opinion and can simply use the standard container of their device!:-)

Dear Jussie,
Thank you for your request.

The minimum quantity in the grinding container is approx. 250ml, which would be approx. 100-150g for coffee.

You can grind poppy seeds in it without any problems.

Kind regards from your service team of GrueneSmoothies.com

Hello dear Doris,

thank you very much for the question.

From our standpoint, we would not necessarily prepare nut purée in the grinding container, even though this would probably be possible.

The standard container of the TNC5200/Vitamix Creations is completely sufficient for the recipes you have mentioned.

Hello Hopse,

The warranty extension applies to any suitable container, which is purchased with the device!

Hello Minch,

thank you for the question.

If dry ingredients are processed into a smoothie with liquids, there is no need for a grinding container
