Vitamix Family-Set

Hello Isabella,

thank you very much for your message.
According to Vitamix, both the containers and the blade base are dishwasher safe.
However, we recommend not putting the blade base in the dishwasher to protect the whole construction (seals). The blade base is really easy to rinse.

Hello Lacrima,

thank you very much for your email.
Unfortunately, the Family Set is incompatible with the Pro750, it only fits the Ascent series blenders (A2300i, A2500i, A3500i).

If your main concern is blending smaller quantities than in your 2 liter main container, we would recommend the 1.4 liter container. It has the lowest minimum preparation quantities – 250ml for liquids (smoothies, soups…) and 400ml for viscous preparations (hummus, ice cream sorbet, nut mush….)

Hello Sebastian

Thank you very much for your message.
The 0.6l container is perfectly suitable for preparing fruit smoothies. However, If you want to process fibrous greens, the small Family Set containers are not the right choice.
The result is just not as creamy as when using the 2l container.

Hello Bastian,

thank you for asking. One of each of the two containers is included in the set. We have now corrected it accordingly.

Hello Anastasia,

thank you very much for your message

The small 0.225 ml and 0.6 ml smart containers are only compatible with the Ascent series devices (A2300i, A2500i and A3500i)

Kind regards from Berlin :- )

Hello Kristina,

Thank you for your message.
The 225 ml containers are not suitable for the production of Nicecream. Viscous food preparations usually have to be made with a tamper, and the tamper cannot be used with these containers. We would therefore rather advise you to choose a “classic” Vitamix, on which the Vitamix 1.4 liter container is compatible.

Many greetings,
Your GrueneSmoothies.com Team

Hello Joachim,

Thank you very much for your message.

The blade base of the small additional containers unfortunately is not available without the set.

Hello Oliver,

thank you very much for your message.

We recommend screwing the container onto the blade base (not completely tied), then attaching them to the motor base and continuing to rotate until the container is detected.

After the blending process, you can "pre-loosen" the container, when it still sits on the motor base.

Kind regards from Berlin :- )

Hello Bina,

thank you very much for your question

The small containers of the Ascent series are closed at the top, not allowing the use of the tamper. However, this is very important to bring the viscous ingredients back to the blades. You can therefore prepare nut butter with the 0.6 liter container rather laboriously!

For the 2.0 liter container, we recommend a minimum quantity of approx. 600 – 700 ml

The containers tend to become blind and cloudy when hard foods (cereals, etc.) are processed frequently.

Best regards from Berlin!

Hello Friederike,

Thank you very much for your message

You can use the blade base for the 0.225 liter container and 0.6 liter container exclusively on the Ascent series. There is no adapter on the German market yet.

Best regards from Berlin!

Hello Alexandra,

Thank you very much for your message

The 0.6 liter container is available for purchase either individually (without a blade base) or in a set (two containers + blades).
If you want to use the 0.6 liter container to prepare fine flour, however, the large 2.0 liter container of the Vitamix Ascent is somewhat better suited. The large blades can reach higher speeds, leading to a better result.

However, if you plan to grind harder foods regularly, the first signs of wear may appear – the plastic will become cloudy.

Kind regards from Berlin,

Hello Alicia,

thank you very much for your request.

We have now tried it again with the result: Yes, you can make almond paste or nut butter in the Vitamix 225 ml container
but it is a time-consuming process. You have to keep interrupting the blending process to loosen the chopped nuts from the inner walls of the container – otherwise, the blades quickly run dry.
We would rather recommend the cups for other types of meals. (salsa, dips, etc.)

Hello Marie Edelstein,

thank you for the question.

Remote diagnosis is quite difficult, have any errors been displayed on the screen? Such errors would be: "E13" or "E33"
I would appreciate it if you could give us a call, so we can see how things work out.

Hi christian,

thanks for the question.

The smoothies definitely don't get as creamy in the 0.6 liter container as they do in the 2 liter container. However, it also depends on the ingredients. For example, if you want to prepare a shake made from powder and no solid ingredients, you don't notice a difference. The more difficult the ingredients are to blend, the bigger the difference.

Hello Felix Mehne,

thank you very much for the question.

The container does NOT fit on the Pro 750.

There is an adapter in USA that fits the Pro 750, but it is only offered with the 600 ml containers. Whether the 225 ml cups fit is questionable. In Germany, however, the adapter has not yet been announced...

Hi Katharina,

thank you very much for the question.

You only need one blade base, as the blade base is compatible with both container sizes.

Hi Stephanie,

thank you for the question.

The Vitamix accessory items we sell, such as the Family Set, are of intended for the German market and therefore 100% compatible with Vitamix Smart Blenders purchased in Germany.
