Our take on the Vitamix 15978 48 oz Advance Container with Lid

The Vitamix 15978 is a 48 oz Advance container with lid and blade assembly, built for Vitamix commercial blenders: The Quiet One, Drink Machine Advance and Touch & Go Advance. Its shape and built-in dripless spout are made for fast, accurate pouring in busy settings, and the Tritan body is BPA-free and shatter-resistant. It is hand wash only, not dishwasher safe. It is a replacement part, so its price tracks the cost of keeping a commercial blender running rather than the price of a new machine.
