Silicone Blender Spatula, Under-Blade Scraper with Long Handle | Compatible With Most High-Performance Blenders, Ergonomic Grip, Reaches Beneath Blades To Scrape Thick Mixtures

This is probably the best tool for scraping out a Vitamix blender. I've always hated making things that don't just pour out because you either have to get your hand all covered in whatever it is you just made to scrape it out, or you have to throw a ton of it out. Not anymore! This does much better than spoons, normal rubber spatulas, or any other device I've tried. Given the odd shape and having to work around the blades, I can still manage to get a higher percentage of <whatever I'm making> out of a mixing bowl than the blender, but with this tool and using the same amount of time/effort, the amount that is left behind is pretty close. Very happy with this purchase.

I really like this gadget. I use it for all kinds of scraping, even in non-blenders. I am glad I invested into this item.

This mostly gets the job done, but if it weren't so rigid, it could be even more effective. It's very stiff and doesn't conform at all to whatever you're scraping, so you have to make many passes at different angles to get it all. However, for the Vitamix pitcher, it works well enough, and if it weren't so rigid, it probably wouldn't be able to get the stuff all the way down by the blades, so I guess it's a tradeoff. It's the perfect length for my 5200. The silicone is really tough and won't easily be nicked by the blades (within reason). You can throw it in the dishwasher, but I've found that silicone hangs on to the soap too much and can contaminate whatever you're using it on with the flavor of soap. So I hand wash it, which isn't a big deal at all. The price seems average for a specialty gizmo, and I'm sure Vitamix would charge even more for it, so it seems like a bargain.

Every time I use this I want to kiss the designer of this spatula. The secret is to scrape everything to the bottom. Then this spatula cleans the bottom around the blades so that there is not a quarter of a teaspoon clinging to the jar. However, my friends have the older, skinny vitamix jar. They could not get it to work for them.

I use this spatula with my Vitamix all the time. It makes it easy to get the batter out.

This spatula didn’t meet my needs, as it feels a bit too much like a basic wooden stick. I’m sure it could still be helpful for someone else, so I’ll be donating it to Goodwill

This is a great Spatula for my Vitamix blender. I'm going to enjoy it. Thank you.

Ordered this to dig out my vitamin recipes and this makes it safer. Easy to spray clean, same size of a spatula, long enough to reach the bottom of my Vitamin blender, sturdy inner frame- it does not feel like it will break anytime soon, or bend. It's a solid build. I put this in my dishwasher everyday. My only "BUT" is that this stains easily with hard water, so it sometimes has a grayish film that you will need to rub off with a towel after washing. I won't take a star off because it's not really a concern and it's not something I display on my kitchen countertop.

Great quality.

J'adore!
