Expected better considering how expensive. I have to say it makes the smoothest smoothies I’ve ever had from my previous two blenders! However, it makes so much that I can’t just have a single serving like I want so I have to use a different blender which is annoying to do and even though I follow the “loading” instructions, I have to stop and scrape the sides every time because it’s always getting stuck. I don’t write reviews but I felt compelled to write this so others have all the facts and know what to buy or avoid.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. We do make smaller jars like the Go Jar or the Mini Wildside jar that are the perfect size for single servings, while still maintaining the smooth quality.
I bought this blendtec in 2012 and man what a blender… I has been used a lot and it never disappoints…. I had to replace a wild side container but after 10 years and thousands of uses…. I will not complain….. hope this helps make u a blendtec buyer….
300 blends and one day with 20 seconds of smoothie cycle left the bottom of the cap which covers the drive shaft was filled with smoke. The shaft almost melted into the cap and the blade inside cap got unscrewed. Everything was insanely hot even after cold water rinsing. The gasket and drive shaft design simply cannot last long enough to justify the cost of this blender. Another American dream failed victim of aggressive marketing and profit taking. Not durable enough to justify the cost. Personally, I could pay 30% more if I have the assurance that product can last 10 years.
