Wet Blade Assembly, Silver

I originally bought a much cheaper knock-off to replace my damaged assembly, which didn't work out. It leaked, didn't fit well, and was really noisy. I decided to cut my losses and go for an original replacement and am very pleased with the result. It fits perfectly, runs smoothly, and does not leak. Well worth it.

The container of my Vitamix 5200 started leaking from the bottom several months ago. First it was just a tiny leak. I though it was from me not tightening the retainer nut enough after removing it to get a thorough wash. So ... I tightened it some more. Still leaked. Oh well ... not a big deal. Just wipe up the Vitamix top after each use. Well, it continued to get worse through the months until it was just a continual drip. Yeah ... I don't think I'm going to be blending anything with this anymore! So, in looking for a solution, I figured I'll try just replacing the rubber gasket in the blade assembly. Hey, don't judge - it's a $3 vs. a $65 fix. Can't hurt to try, right? Well, as you might have guessed, it wasn't it. Finally sucked it up and bought the wet blade assembly. It was easy to replace once I got the retainer nut off. I soaked the container itself in some vinegar for a while to get off all the build-up first. The new one doesn't sit flushed against the retainer nut -- it sinks down maybe 1/32"? Not a big deal as long as it doesn't leak on me! Been using it every morning now for a few days and it's holding up well.

The seal on the old wet blade assembly was failing, causing the bearings to rust and grind. With this product, the blender works like new. As my wife pointed out, the cost of this assembly is almost the same as a whole new pitcher, so that might have been the better way to go. I just hate throwing out stuff that still works.

Great OEM replacement

Exact replacement part for my 5200 Vitamix 64oz blender. Seems like a legit Vitamix part. Well made. We’ll see if it stands the test of time. I couldn’t find any info regarding any warranty on this wet blade assembly. I asked what the warranty is and Amazons “Rufus” says its lifetime. Those that think the blades are dull are misguided. This is a blender not a food processor. While the blades are somewhat sharp they are designed to pulverize not slice. So they aren’t meant to be sharp like a carving knife for instance.

Just like new and it was easy to replace at home even though Vitamix customer service advised that I should send it in

esta aspa de licuadora vitamix es perfecta para esté vaso estos producto son muybueno

My Vitamix Aspire VM0103 (a "classic" machine with a 64-oz tall/high profile container) was 1 year out of warranty when it began to make a high-pitched whine when blending - I did some online sleuthing and determined that it was bearings in the blade assembly that needed replacement. So I purchased this blade assembly, the drive socket kit, and the wrench. All parts installed and fit just fine, and when blending, the high-pitched squeal was gone. However, with the new blade assembly, the Vitamix no longer blended well - even after blending a long time, there were still chunks in my smoothies. The blades don't feel sharp at all (I can run my finger along them), and when I spin the blade by hand, the blade movement is very stiff. The markings on the blade I received are 104675-1 W. I'm returning the blade assembly, and I guess I'll have to buy a whole new container with blade assembly for $150 from Vitamix.

Good working

I needed to replace my Vitamix cutters as they had jammed. With the aid of the Vitamix spanner, which is essential to remove the retaining ring, this was a very quick job to do. My Vitamix is now up and running without the need for an expensive new jug.

Works great!
