I just purchased this new jar for my Blendtec. My last jar is almost worn out. The new jar seems to have a hard time fitting, but it eventually goes into place. I love my Blentec and use it everyday and multiple times a day. We are trying to eat healthier. I went to the Blentec website and found a LOT of great smoothie and soup recipes, each different one makes it easier to choose healthier choices.

I love this blender so much. I use it every morning. I always clean my blender after use and never let anything sit in it. Today the rubber gasket that seals the blade and keeps it right decided to shred itself into my drink which tasted awful. I drank half of it before I realized what the burnt rubber taste was. Filled out the online form to have it replaced under warranty so hopefully it get replaced for free. I would think these are meant to last longer than 250 uses.
I bought this as a replacement for our Blendtec that is over 10 years old. I was hesitant because its age. This is a perfect fit and most improved from our initial foursome jar. We love the tight fit of the cap promoting a "no mess" blend!
I bought this second jar replacement. The first replacement I had purchased was a for gasket issue. It had just worn out, which they do. At that time I could see little gray bits when grinding sugar to powdered sugar and called Blendtec. So it was time to replace. This current replacement jar was due to making soup with super 'hot off the stove' vegetables and broth. Liquid started to leak and thankfully didn't damage the base. Although I did melt the gasket. Sooo... this time I know to be more careful and save my receipt for the longer 3 year warranty. Yes, it is worth it as I love the features of the base I already have.
Purchased to replace the original jar for my 10 year old Bendtec. It's as though it is brand new again! Even better quality than the original. Arrived quickly! Best commercial blender on the market.
Our first jar developed a leak on the bottom seal. Started to discard the whole unit. Bought a replacement that was inferior. Discarded that unit. Ordered new square jar and it is just as great as when we bought the original.
I bought this as a replacement for my old jar that was about 8 years old and it works great. Love the new lid design with the 4 side "tabs" instead of one continuous lip.
I have had my Blendtec for 9 years and am so glad that I bought it. The primary use has been for a healthy breakfast smoothie for health reasons. From the years of use the blade was not performing the cutting, blending so hence the purchase of a new jar. Thank you for your prompt and friendly service.
