We appreciate your interest in a glass container option. The Vitamix Research and Development team continuously researches alternate options for a non-plastic container. At this time, we have not found a suitable glass container design to meet the strict safety and performance requirements we place on our products. With that being said, we continue to research this design and encourage you to stay tuned for updates on new products. Vitamix works to use the best materials available to produce a high quality blender that performs to customer expectations in a safe manner. Currently, we use Eastman Tritan for our containers, which is BPA-free. The Tritan material has been fully tested and deemed food safe by NSF. We have also released a Stainless Steel container that is compatible for use with all full-size Vitamix blenders!
