Features:

• New BPA-free Carafe made of Eastman Tritan material. There has been a great deal of bad press out there on BPA and polycarbonate containers. Vitamix moved to make this carafe change proactively around all of the negative news on BPA lately.
  
• New lid-locking mechanism allows for anyone to take off the lid easier than before. We have tried this and it is much easier to remove; the old 4500 lid was difficult to remove once pressed hard into the carafe.
  
• New Healthy recipe book. The recipe book has been dressed up and cleaned up to focus on healthier options.
  
• New cooler running, more efficient 2 Peak HP motor. Same specs, just runs cooler - especially important when running for extended periods for making soup.
  
• New "fade" faceplate graphics.
