Need To Be Able To Replace Parts & Old Lids Better

Why can't these be made to where the bearings and blades can be replaced? We like the system, but buying new jars all the time is too spendy. If this doesn't change, we will find a better system soon.
Also, the lids have changed & the old lids were much better (easier to remove & clean up better).
This blender jar us BY FAR better than the one you offer with a small base, as that smaller based one does not seem to have the right dimensions to allow for proper rotation to blend well at all.

defect/broken black ring
on November 6, 2017

We bought our Blendtec in 2011. So far blending has been fine except it is the fourth time we have to order a new wildside jar. The black ring underneath the jar is damaged/broken and it leaks while blending. We use the blender two times a week, (2*49sec ) for cold smoothies. I clean it only by hand and dry it after. What is wrong with this defect small black ring? and where can we order a jar for a reasonable price? In EU we have no Blendtec sales or promotions like in the US and the prices are high.

Keep Improving

On my third jar and they are very costly yet improving ever so slowly. The bearing assembly at the bottom is lasting a bit longer before becoming wobbly and loose, and the new designed top does not loose shape and come off as the old one did over time. Your jars are just like ink cartridges in a printer. The printer is great value yet the cost of the ink is outrageous, so too are the jars!

Powerful, easy-to-use; blade assemblies fail, leak
on December 1, 2017

I've had my Blendtec for about 7 years -- seven years of blissful smoothies. Hundreds of them. Maybe even thousands. It's been great. But the jars and specifically the blade assemblies, are a complete disappointment.
I'm on jar #2 now, and I'm starting to see the tell-tale signs that it's about to go belly up: black, nasty liquid beginning to leak out of the bottom (and maybe -- who knows? -- into my smoothie). This is exactly what the first jar began to do before it catastrophically failed discharging an odor of burnt rubber throughout the house.
In line with Blendtec's care instructions, I clean the jar with warm water and sometimes soap, if it really needs it, immediately after each use. I was hoping to extend the life of this 2nd jar by being even more careful with how I wash it and what I place into it (for example, never frozen fruit; always thawed in the microwave beforehand). Nonetheless, it seems this 2nd jar will not outlast the 1st.
Disappointing. And now I'm looking at spending another $100+ to replace it. If anyone from Blendtec reads this review, please tell me that improvements have been made to address this issue.
There aren't many weaknesses to your product. But if there is *one* thing you need to focus on, this is it.

Positives: clean, clear container is a big improvement over our old one with scratches. Negatives: makes more noise when blending, hole in lid is smaller and cannot add larger pieces, old lid was convex and could easily scrape smoothie on lid into the container but new lid is concave and smoothie on the lid is wasted.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We make smoothies with frozen fruit 1x per week. After 2 years the previous wildside+ froze up. You know how much you charge for a molded piece of plastic with sealed bearings. Ridiculous! - Wish we'd bought something else, but we're locked in to blendtec, hoping the motor doesn't go out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

3rd Replacement Jar
on October 17, 2018

I love this blender - but we are currently purchasing our 3rd jar in 2 years, which is very disappointing. This jar has never seen a dishwasher but we do use it daily for smoothies. We will unfortunately be looking at other options if this machine quits on us.

Gasket mechanism on the underside appears better made than previous versions. But the blender is still SO LOUD and I don't think it should be.
