I have used this container multiple times now, and here are my thoughts:The good: It makes the easiest whipped cream, although you may need to turn your blender to setting 5-6 or for approximately 2 cups of cream. Hollandaise is extremely easy and turns out pretty well. And if you like tons of fruit chunks/pulp in your lemonade, it’s great at making that (conversely, if you don’t, you’ll want to use a different method). I will try to update this after trying mayonnaise and meringue. I remain optimistic about these two possibilities.The bad:1.With this container, the self clean program doesn’t work with the Ascent blenders. It says it’s not allowed with that container. In fact, none of the programs on the A3500 work with this container, although the only other reasonable one that could work besides self-clean might be the soup program.2. Also, there are absolutely no recipes in the app for this container or interfacing between the app and the blender when this container is attached to the blender. In fact, the app thinks it’s the 48 oz. dry container, and won’t send any recipes to it. In addition, there are very few recipes (10 or 11, if I’m not mistaken) that come with this container. Vitamix will tell you that they want you to come up with your own recipes, which is ridiculous, considering the fact that this doesn’t operate like a usual blender, and would require quite a bit of experimentation/wasted ingredients. A good example of this is that it would have taken many failed attempts at whipped cream before I figured out that I needed to only turn the speed up to 5. I needed a recipe to take the guesswork out of that (which I luckily found in a QVC demonstration). Turning the blender gradually all the way to 10 may work with fruit added to the whipped cream, but with the cream by itself, it splatters everywhere, and the top portion remains un-whipped, while the bottom potion starts to turn to butter.Overall: With everything the way it is now, regarding the app interfacing, lack of recipes, and unusable programs available with the Ascent, I would never buy this again if I had a do-over. I’m pretty sure that I can make just as good of whipped cream, mayonnaise, and hollandaise sauce with the standard blending container.

I waited till this contraption went on sale. It did what it was supposed to do, but it is not the handiest tool in the kitchen. I go to the regular Vitamix container mush more often. And this container is not synced to the motor for using various preprogrammed cycles.Overall, I am happy to have spent what I did for it, but Alton Brown’s caution about one purpose tools in the kitchen keeps coming to mind. Luckily I have a very large kitchen with a lot of cabinet space, so this seldomly used tool has a hideout.

Our dishwasher ate the original pitcher to our Vitamix, so I ordered this one so my wife wouldn’t blame me for breaking it.Expensive as all get out, but it really works well. It is also a lower height than the original so it fits under our cabinets while on top of the Vitamix.One word of caution, make sure you are matching up the model of your Vitamix with the pitcher model. I have ordered other Vitamix products before only to find out they didn’t fit my model. Vitamix was great about the return, so no worries there, just read the website info carefully so you don’t waste time.

Pro’s nice quality container as advertised.Con’s Vitamix and Amazon need to clear up this these issues. This will not work like advertised, u have to manually use all the recipe settings, manually washing the container. Will not work on the accent 3500 programs aromatic setting!

This is a great container for making whipped creams, hot chocolate, muddled drinks and cocktails!

Finally replaced my workhorse Vitamix 750 (12 years old) with a Vitamix Ascent. But this 48 oz aer disc container is stealing the show! Tonight I made hollandaise sauce, chocolate mousse (involving whipping cream and meringue) and blackberry panna cotta. What a blast! I’m not a cocktail person, but can only imagine how fun it would be for that purpose, too. And it came with 2 more of the little 8 oz containers. I thought I would just be putting them in the cupboard, but found I had used them right away–making togarishi and mushroom paste for the seasoning of the hollandaise, and pesto. I feel like I went to cooking school!

Got it for those cold foam coffees, and it does it great. Probably if you are checking it is because you like cold foam coffees too and are tired to go back and foward to Star*** paying $5plus per coffee.

I don’t drink coffee so I don’t know what the foamy milk thing is and I don’t like Mojitos, but I bought an AER anyway. I make my own syrups for sodas so I thought this might be helpful, but not so much I’d buy one. However, I LOVE homemade gingerale. I used to make it all the time but it takes so long, but mostly involves more clean up than I want, so I stopped. I bought the AER specifically to make gingerale. Anything else I make in it is a bonus.I wasn’t sure if the 5 minutes at high speed was enough to extract the ginger flavor including the real spicy-ness I love, but it does! It made fantastic ginger syrup! I threw the ginger in to the food processor and sliced it up. Then 2 cups water, 1.5 cups sugar and a heaping 3/4 cup sliced ginger in to the AER. 5 minutes later it was awesome ginger syrup. All I had to do was strain it in to a jar and I was ready for gingerale. Cleaned up so fast, I had everything done, washed, sliced, ingredients in, blend and cleaned, bottled and put away in about 15 minutes.Now I need to test seriously reducing the sugar amount and seeing how large the ginger chunks can be to make this work. I know this attachment isn’t for everyone, but for me, it is a game changer!
