Have had the Blendtec for about s year and love it. Use it mostly to make smoothies using frozen fruit. Generally had to put it through 3 cycles. Just purchased the wild side jar. Now only 1 cycle. It’s grest.
Who got sued about copying the Wide Side jar! Who lied to the judge and said they destroyed their jar mold - Vitamix. Don’t support those thief’s they stold the jar design and blades of Blendtec! Vita is was sued millions ! Check it out before you buy! If you have questions let Me know ! Blendtec is the best and Original design! God has blessed Blendtec and will continue! I hate a thief !!!
this is my fourth Blendtec jar for a unit I've owned for about 8 or 9 years, my second WildSide+. We're a family of 5 and the extra capacity makes a huge difference, but with this jar, I'm hoping the spinning mechanism lasts longer than the others. Looks like it will, they've improved the design of the washer or whatever it is that's always disintegrated within a couple of years on the last three jars
We bought our Blendtec almost 6 years ago. We bought this jar last month to replace our WildSide jar. We've had two WildSide jars both had gaskets that failed after 3 years of use. So far, we're happy with the WildSide+ Jar's performance for our frozen beverages.
I bought the blender just over a year ago. We use it daily, mostly for fruit smoothies. The original blender jar stripped out and separated from the bottom. What a mess that made when it blew out in the middle of a blend. I was disappointed how soon this happened. However, I'm glad to get the replacement jar and keep using this awesome blender. I would like to purchase the smaller jar for nut butters and smaller blends, but they are pretty expensive!
Like the looks of the new ones base where the metal meets the plastic, seems a better design over the old one. However I like the older lid better easier for me to get the food off that gets up there without wasting it. Using my old lid until it wears out.
