I just upgraded my blendtec blender after 5 years of using the original jar. After one month of using the Extra "wild" side, I can say that it is ALL about the Extra Side. Green smoothies Blend with nothing more than a push of a button. No jamming, or pushing down ingredients mid-blend. I highly recommend this product.

I've had my blend tec for almost 6 months. I was loving. Until the last night when I was blending beans and for now apart reason the side crack ?! Very disappointing. I thought it would last forever.
I bought this replacement jar 1 or 2 months ago. It is a very good jar. so far, no problems. I hope this will last longer than previous jars. I have found that i need to buy a jar every 2 years. again, i hope this will last longer. If this will last longer than 2 or 3 years, i will definitely give this a 5 star rating.
This jar replaced the 8 year old original one and every aspect is improved. It is quieter, blends frozen fruit completely, requires no stopping and tampering, and handles much more material making enough smoothie to last me the whole work day. The bearing looks to be improved too, time will tell with that. The huge blade looks impressive and no doubt does its magic. I think the blade and jar shape are possibly the best in the business.
I purchased this as a replacement to my original which we wore out the rubber seal after 7 years of use. This Jar is very much improved over the original 4 sided Carafe. Not only is it somewhat larger but the flow of blended ingredients flows much better and provides significantly smoother results. Liquids and smoothie results are as if bought in a store.
