After 4600+ cycles on the original pitcher the bearings finally gave out. Ordered new pitcher and it his just fine so far. I prefer the old style lid though so have been using that.
Better than the original jar that was purchased many years ago. This jar reduces the sound of the machine and my smoothies blend much quieter than before. Expensive, but happy with the purchase.
Love this jar as I love anything I have owned of their brand. I have been using blendtec for 20 years and it's one of the companies that has continued to improve the quality of their already exceptional products over time. Highly recommend.
I like the wide body and that I can do three smoothies. I run a coffee shop and use it constantly. The new lids though come in two parts. Too any parts to wash and keep track of in a busy shop.
