I'm a huge Vitamix fan and have used one for many years. Mine didn't come with a dry blade container so I purchased one separately more recently. There's no question that it does a great job with coffee and whole grains, but the regular container works fine for some of those things, too. Recently I started grinding my own grains for bread on occasion. For example, I couldn't find sunflower seed flour so bought some kernels and made my own. I found the regular container made this flour meal just as well as this dry blade container did. Both were fast and effective. The regular container also made wheat flour, powdered sugar and other nut flours just fine. This container did a better job with coffee however.
Then, as long as I was experimenting, I decided to make my morning smoothie in this smaller container, and voila, it worked great, so I've been using this small one more for smaller quantities of things than because the blade is different.
All in all, I'm healthier because of the Vitamix which has proven its worth many times over. I like having the second smaller container and use it regularly, but not necessarily for dry processing since both blade types seem to handle the majority of things. I haven't used the recipe book (which didn't come with my container when I bought it some time ago) so I can't speak to that, but I do believe the container itself is a nice addition to my Vitamix, though not a requirement. One last note: the regular tamper also works with this container because of the tamper's graduated size and this container's smaller plug size.

I had to have the 3 HP Vita Mix Prep 3 after watching some videos. But I also wanted to be able to grind coffee beans. With free shipping, you usually can't beat Amazon. The trick I found to grinding coffee and whole grains, is to fill the container half full. Any less and it won't grind finely, any more and it will miss too. Then listen to the motor and you will notice when it's done.
If you have the Prep 3, you need to buy a complete container with the blade and lid. All containers will work with the Prep 3, but parts are not interchangeable.
Simply amazing! March 7, 2010

Wow. Wow! A product that actually does what it claims - unbelievable! This thing can grind 1.5 lbs of hard winter wheat berries into beautiful whole wheat flour in under a minute. No exaggeration. The ground product is warm, but I do not feel that it is in danger of losing nutrients (especially since, with this unit, you can dump it directly into the bowl and make bread immediately). A must-buy if you're into grinding your own whole grain flours.

First, I absolutely love my Vitamix -- it's high quality, American made, and has a long warranty and commitment to customer satisfaction. In summary, just like American cars, the Vitamix embodies power.
The wet container does everything it promises, except I wouldn't try to boil soup in it. I got the dry container and have had a lot of fun grinding different grains and seeds. It's magic to watch everything get crushed into dust and it's satisfying to tell my guests that I made something from scratch -- not just a bag of flour but the actual grains or berries. Many of the ethnic dishes that required trips to specialty stores are now made possible by a visit to WholeFoods' bulk food section. The difference between the two containers is really in the way that food is spun away from the blades. I recommend the dry container for what it's meant to do.
A word of advice on using yeast if you are into making breads: wait till the flour cools before you add the yeast. My first batches were cooked by the heat from the freshly-ground flour! I learned to wait for the flour to cool and was then successful.
 Not Bad!!! May 13, 2010

It works and it does it's job well.
The only con I have about this grinder is that it overheats very fast so you have to take your time when grinding your seeds or herbs.
