However, the base-container interface is the same on the 5200 and 7500. Moreover, the bottom of the tall/narrow 64-oz container is identical to the bottom of the 48-oz container, which Vitamix says works on both 5200- and 7500-style machines. Bottom line: using a tall classic 64-oz container on a 7500 base works fine.

Types of Vitamix Bases
Each Vitamix machine has one of three types of container interfaces (left to right below): “Space Saving,” “Classic,” and “Smart System.
Interchangeability of Classic 64-oz Containers
I mentioned that all Classic containers fit on all Classic machines. One caveat is that Vitamix says that the Low Profile 64-oz container is not compatible with certain machines. They say that the wide container requires machines with 2.2 peak horsepower, and that the 5200 and similar machines only have 2 peak horsepower.
Space Saving 20-oz vs Smart System 20-oz
On first glance these 20-oz containers look the same, but they are not! They can both be used with the Personal Cup Adapter, but they are not interchangeable between Space Saving and Smart Series models. The difference is on the lips of the cups. The Space Saving one has two tabs, which both contain small round magnets.
Unadvertised uses of the Personal Cup Adapter
Vitamix does not advertise it, but, the Personal Cup Adapter uses the same threading/blade as the Space Saving 40-oz container and the Smart System 8-oz cups. Online Vitamix only sells the 40-oz container bundled with a Space Saving machine. However, if you call them, you can buy it by itself. Last I checked, it was $54.95.
Interchangeable Blades
Vitamix does not intend for home users to ever remove an integrated blade assembly from a container. This is because you can run into problems when you reattach it if you screw it on too tight, too loose, or cross-threaded. For that reason, removing the blade assembly voids the warranty.
Vitamix Containers Compatibility: Which Container for Which Vitamix Model?
Vitamix containers come in different sizes from the small 8-oz Ascent blending bowl to the 64-oz classic legacy tall container .

Vitamix Containers: Answers to FAQs
I noticed that some Vitamix users have been asking the following questions about Vitamix containers. And for the benefit of other Vitamix enthusiasts, I’ve offered my brief answers below:
Vitamix Containers: Final Thoughts!
Unless its a replacement Vitamix container, if you are wondering which container to buy, start by understanding your blender model product line.
Vitamix Containers – Compatibility
All Vitamix blenders fall into 3 product lines – Legacy (Classic and Next Generation), Smart System (Ascent and Venturist), and Explorian. Vitamix also used to offer a line of personal blenders – Space Saving – but those were discontinued in 2019.
Vitamix Containers – Size & Capacity
Now that you know which Vitamix container works on which blender, the question is – what size is the best for you? Which Vitamix container should you buy?
Vitamix Containers – Comparisons
The 64-oz tall container is hands down my favorite out of all Vitamix containers. It has been the standard for decades – Vitamix has been selling this container since 1992! – and for a good reason. It has a large capacity yet it’s capable of making single servings.
Vitamix Containers – Material
Plastic: the majority of Vitamix containers are made of BPA-free Eastman Tritan Copolyester (a fancy term for plastic). There is a large variance in terms of quality between different types of plastics. Fortunately, Tritan Copolyester is as strong, durable, and shatter-proof as polycarbonate, yet formulated without BPA.
Tampers
Vitamix tamper is an indispensable tool designed to remove air pockets and process thick, dense ingredients by pushing the food down into the blade. Vitamix makes three different tampers for their containers.
Q&A for Vitamix Buyers
Unfortunately, no. The previous containers do not contain the latest SELF-DETECT technology™, so the blender will not start. It will simply not detect any container.
