Received my second replacement jar for my 10 year old BlendTec, this time a WildSide+ Jar. Rubber bearing seal on my second jar slowly wore out, and finally deteriorated to the point it was wiggling and leaking too much to use any more. Exceptionally helpful phone rep who really took care of me, especially as my jar 2 was out of warranty. New jar works great, and much quieter than previous “regular” jar, but in first week is already leaking— especially at high speed and leaving liquid film in jar underside the same color as liquid (usually white like milk I’m using) I’m blending to make smoothies. Molded manufacturing stamp on bottom shows it was just manufactured, so hope it isn’t a defective one. If it continues I will return it.
good product easy to use had three through the years and bought my kids the product

shredded rubber

I've had my Blendtec for 9 years now with no problems. I use it about 3 times a week primarily for juice and smoothies. Last time I used it, it began smoking and the rubber on the bottom of the jar was in shreds. Not sure if I can only replace the rubber piece or if I have to purchase a whole new jar. :(
Works great, no need for a tamper. This will pull everything down into the blades, especially with thick smoothies. No bits or pieces left behind. After using a Vitamix for two years, the Blendtec is quieter and does a great job.
I originally bought a refurbished blendtec blender & had to replace the jar. My blender is much quieter with this new jar. Love it!

Blade assembly breaks

I have had two wild side jars and both blade assemblies failed. One flew off and the other is stiff and clicks with every 1/4 turn. I don't dare use it on the blender. The smaller jar works fine. I love the blender, but do not want to buy another wild side jar.
I bought this as a replacement for my old wildside jar. This one has more capacity. The lid on this is not as secure as the lid on my old jar. Thankfully I had kept an old lid and I am not using that. The lid that came with this jar requires multiple checks for seal and still I don't trust it.
