As for the product itself, I love it. I work from home now, but when I was still working at an office, I made a smoothie to take to work with me, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year,for SEVERAL years. Never had an issue. I did purchase the 3 year extended warranty, but never used it, even though the Vitamix I purchased was a refurbished unit.
I will say that regarding smoothies, I recommend using crushed ice instead if cubes, if possible. (Faster that way).
To clean the container part, I'd simply rinse it out, squirt a TINY dab of dish soap in it, fill it about 2/3 with hot water, put the lid back on, stick it back on the base, and turn it on for 20 seconds. Rinse out, and it's good to go for next day. Personally, I would recommend it!

They are excellent for people with daily use and tough blending jobs, but not omg magic, if that makes sense.

The lid is now a piece of hard plastic with a separate gasket around it. This lets any liquids seep in between the lid and the gasket and start to hide gunk. You'd have to pull the gasket each time to clean it all. This is the main reason why we switched from Ninja blenders.
The old Vitamix design had a lid made from one uniform piece of flexible TPU-like material. The lid acted as a lid and a gasket at the same time which eliminated any crevices for food and bacteria buildup. It was super easy to clean. It was the only blender that had a lid without a separate o-ring. Not sure why Vitamix felt the need to downgrade the lid for the sake of it being clear. If you care about hygiene or ease of cleaning, beware of the new models. As far as I know, the new model blender bases do not take the old pitcher.
