If you've lost or broken your Vitamix tamper, this replacement works perfectly. The 9.25-inch submersion length reaches everything in your 64-ounce container without hitting the blades. The food-grade ABS material is BPA-free and durable - no worries about chemicals leaching into your food. The ergonomic handle gives you good grip even when your hands are wet or messy. I use mine for thick smoothies, nut butters, and frozen desserts - it makes a huge difference in getting consistent blending without air pockets. Cleaning is easy - just toss it in the dishwasher with your other blender parts. The quality feels comparable to the original Vitamix tamper but at a much better price. Fits securely in the lid opening without being too tight or loose. One of those simple tools that you don't appreciate until you try to blend thick mixtures without it. Definitely recommended for any Vitamix owner who wants to get the most out of their blender.
