Advance Blade Assembly Replacement for Vitamix 15990 Quite One Series Barboss Blender Station Drink Machine

My vitamix 750 pro is about 8 years old and it had become incredibly noisy and was less efficient. I didn't really notice how far it had declined. After figuring out it was the blade and not the bearings, i finally ordered this. I was hesitant to get this blade because it was not a Vitamix product and worried it would not work well. In fact, it was easy to install (though I did not tighten it enough on the first attempt) and it blended much better than the blade I replaced. I have no idea if this is as good as my original blade was when new, but it is working fine and the price was very good. This is what to get if you have one of the newer models (last 15 years).

Purchased one of these for my business as two of our blender blades were dull and underperforming. We opted to purchase two blades from different sources — an official replacement blade which goes for $70, and this off-brand blade that is 1/3 of the price. This off-brand blade is high quality and works just as well as the official replacement blade. Let’s hope that this blade lasts for years to come as the original blades do.

Purchased this to replace the blade Assembly on my ascent stainless steel container. Unfortunately it's impossible to apply enough force on this plastic tool to remove the retaining ring wothout breaking it. The actually retaining ring is screwed on then appears to be crimped in by divots pushed into a plastic housing, and applying sufficient force to move the ring, breaks the tool. Complete waste of time and money in my case.

Was skeptical and ordered anyways. Vitamix says they don't want you to replace the Ascent series containers, as they are factory sealed. Well we had the blade assembly freeze up and found this bundle. The piece is plastic but fit the bottom exactly as needed. With a little nudge it came right off and was able to replace the blade assembly without a problem. So far no leaks or issues.

The plastic tool works well to get off the old blade and install the new one. Repurposing the tool so it can hold the baton tool is good but I don't use it.The blade replacement shape it not the same as the original - the original is pointy and replacement is more rounded. Seems to work okay. We shall see how long it lasts!

The bearings final broke down on my Vitamix and I did not want to purchase a whole new container. Disassembler worked great with a channel lock assist. Installed easy and now the blender is up and quiet as ever. Highly recommend if you like your fluid container and like being thrifty.

Been using it for a while now blends my smoothies nicely. Still sharp, would love to test it out but I’d like to keep my fingers.

Guess i will get the OEM container next time (3 yr warranty on OEM). This one locked up, and leaving behind brown residue.
