Love my Blendtec, which I’ve had for almost 7 years, and I just needed a new jar. It was shipped relatively quickly and we’re happy to have our new jar.
Jar is great, but not loving the lid, the design of which has changed since I bought the blender some years ago. The blending action seems to cause the lid to more easily lift up and perhaps off.
I’ve been using Blendtec for years and have gone through a few jars. While I am still not really a fan of the square shape, as it is hard to clean, I do admit that it blends better in that shape compared to the more rounded jars on the market. This jar seems more compact and uses less materials than previous but it also feels more plastic-y and cheap. Does it get the job done? Yes. Do I love it? Meh. Glass would have been better, as it doesn’t stain over time. But this thing is built to be replaced in 1-2 years, which seems to be a larger trend, so it’s hard to be excited about it.
