The quality of this container is just as nice as the taller version that came with the blender I just bought. I happen to prefer this handle to the larger container (also clear plastic) because it's rounded while the taller one has squared edges so it's not as comfortable of a grip as this one. But those are minor differences, it's really a non-issue.
The rubberized lid to this container is not the same as the lid you get with the 64-oz container so if you ever see this container sold without the lid don't think that you can use the 64 oz lid with it. But you can use the same tamper (as long as it's the newer model). I'm mentioning this because I almost made the mistake of ordering the mini-tamper thinking I would need it with this shorter container. That's why the two aren't sold together, the new design of tamper works for both containers.

I am really enjoying this 32oz container and have found it to be an invaluable addition to my Vitamix 5200. Like others have stated, the measurement increments printed in black on the side of the container have been very handy. I can easily measure right into the container instead of getting a measuring cup dirty. Yes, the larger container that came with my Vitamix has measurements but, to tell the truth, before I looked at this one I never even noticed because they are too 'tone on tone' to easily see/use.
I also really like the way that the bottom part fits inside of the four prong things on the base of my Vitamix 5200 so it seems even more steady than my original container that goes outside the prongs. I use both, but I am very pleased that I got this one too. It's nicer to have a smaller container for many of the things I make.
One more thing - For others who may be curious, as was I because it was not addressed, the tampers that come with both sizes of Vitamix 5200 (either the 48oz or the 64oz) work with this smaller container. The tamper for the 48oz, which is the one I have, is perfect and the newer tamper for the 64oz, with the step, also fits. I understand that an older tamper for the 64oz (tall) containers didn't have the step, so that one would be too long.
My only problem (and it's NOT with the container itself so I didn't deduct for it) is that, in the description here, they say that it has a 5 year warranty. I talked to the people at Vitamix and they told me that the containers only have a one year warranty (as opposed to the 7 year warranty of the unit). That is not an issue for me, but I think it is noteworthy.

Needless to say after spending 400 bucks on my Vitamix I was less than anxious to shell out an extra $130 for the 32oz. container but I just couldn't help myself.
The 64 oz. container is just big enough to make rinsing it a bit of a hassle (lazy I know) and it is beyond overkill when I am just looking to make a quick protein shake with 8-10 ounces of liquid.
I mainly use my Vitamix to make green smoothies and while people normally recommend around 32 oz. of green smoothies per day I just don't want to drink 32 oz. in one sitting and I don't like drinking the same "flavor" twice per day - instead I prefer to make two separate smoothies of about 16-20 ounces twice per day and the 32 oz. container is just perfect for that.
The only other thing I really use my Vitamix for is to make a peanut sauce and even with a rubber spatula getting it out of the 64 ouncer is a bit of a chore so I look forward to making it in the smaller container.
I was also probably try to make Guacamole with my vitamix again as a result of this purchase - the one time I tried it in the 64 oz it proved to be too cumbersome to ever do it again.
A final note: I love the black lettering on the container - it makes it much easier to use the container to measure.
