A blender like any other piece of electro mechanical equipment is as assembly of various component parts. A machine just cannot be a single block, but must have a multitude of moveable and immovable parts which create the whole working equipment.

The various parts which go into the making of the Vita-Mix blenders are the polycarbonate container, Action dome seal kit, Brush replacement kit, Action dome complete including tube, Agitator assembly kit, Converted blade assembly, Lid assembly, New tamper, Retainer nut, Spigot brushing seal and kit, Spigot kit and Wooden tamper.

The cost of the shell only sixty four ounce polycarbonate container is 30 USD and can be fitted with the 3600 and 4000 series only. Moreover, the blender must have a twelve point drive mechanism on the base of the motor for the container to fit in. The container part is not suitable for use with hexagonal driver.

The Action Dome Seal Kit is priced at 12 USD. The kit consists of three seals and two action dome locking clips. The kit has to be used with stainless steel containers only. The Brush Replacement kit is priced at 12 USD and consists of two motor brushes only. It does not include any holders. Action dome complete including tube part of the blender is meant for use with older versions of stainless steel containers only for the 3600 and 4000 series of blenders. The set also includes a dome seal and is priced at 45 USD. The Agitator assembly kit is also meant for use with the older stainless steel jars of 3600 and 4000 series blenders. It costs 85 USD. The Converted blade assembly part is a twelve point drive blade assembly system and is appropriate for use with the new polycarbonate containers of sixty four ounce. There is also a sub part numbered 836, which has to be used conjointly to secure the blade assembly to the container.

Lid assembly is a round flexible lid with a lid plug. It can only be used with the new polycarbonate containers and is priced at 15 USD by the Company (Vita-Mix). New tamper is used with lid assemblies and costs 12 USD. The Retainer nut which is priced at 13 USD is used to hold the twelve point drive system blade assembly in place for the sixty four ounce polycarbonate containers. It is not a brass retainer nut and will therefore not fit in with the stainless steel containers. The Spigot brushing kit and seal can be used only with the stainless steel containers. The Spigot kit is similar to the previous part just discussed and consists of a spigot, seal and open brushing for the 3600 and 4000 series of blenders which sports the stainless steel container. It is priced at 20 USD. The Wooden tamper is priced at 20 USD and is meant for use only with Action dome.
