Smell is disgusting

My jar works fine, but the sour smell is putrid and astonishing. I wash it right away after ever single blend and it still stinks! I've tried bleach, vinegar and baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and basic soap, nothing gets rid of the nauseous smell. I have to replace the jar every year or so because it stinks so bad and the smell works its way into the blend. I've even cleaned the base and no luck.
We shall see. The original jar lasted 527 uses in less than three years. My wife uses this just about every day to make a smoothie to take to work. I used it during chemo treatments to help with calories. I wish this jar could be repaired. The top needs sealed by the bottom should be able to be serviced. The bearings went out on the original. Get some bearings for American Roller Bearing Company.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Jars are SO EXPENSIVE to replace & they DONT LAST

My jar bearing is broken AGAIN. I bought a replacement jar at a local dealer to replace the one that originally came with my blender and broke after only a few years. Now this one is 3 years old and the bearing is sticking and won't blend correctly and making the motor run strangely AGAIN. I'm so angry.
It is a good item overall. My original jar lasted over 5 years but with infrequent use, like about 30 times a year. The jar started leaking from the bottom and when it was used for the last time, some small plastic particles got mixed up with the food item that I was blending.
Over priced and wear out too fast. Couldnt even otder 2 at the same time so i had a back up when 1 failed again. Gears strip way to easy on the bottom of jar
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not a great design

I loved the original jar that came with my Blendtec, but this one is a really poor design. The top blows off if you put chunky items in it like frozen fruit. It makes quite a mess.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My latest unit of jar that I replaced in November 2020 started to leak and this is the fourth or fifth one I used. I am not the only customer with this problems, gathering from the reviews that I read through.
