Here is a list of all the different types of Vitamix containers currently available. Dry blades on the other hand are designed to push the dry ingredients away from the blades so that things don’t get clogged up at the bottom of the container. Wet blades are designed to blend things together which creates a beautifully smooth texture.

You can see that the blades of the dry one have two squared-off tips whereas the wet blades have four pointed tips. The left image shows the blades of a dry grains container and the image on the right shows the blades of a wet container. Wet containers are designed to create smooth blends. Wet containers (the usual containers) are typically designed for blending, juicing, food processing and also for preparing hot meals such as soups and gravy. For example, instead of manually kneading dough before baking, you can use a dry Vitamix container to take care of this process quickly and easily.

Dry containers are specifically designed for grinding dry foods such as coffee beans, seeds, nuts, and whole grains.
