I bought a Q-Series blender and Wildside 4 years ago that has been fantastic and gifted my Home model to my parents. The blender is built like a tank and the hood helps keep me from waking up my family at 5am. The jar requires thoughtful use. For example, if you fill your jar *starting* with frozen strawberries, you're asking for trouble. A normal blender would just get stuck and maybe blow its motor. The Blendtec is so strong that when the berry gets stuck between the 4" blade and the side of the jar, it will push the blade off axis and put excess strain on the gasket. Solution: fill your jar with hard, frozen pieces last. Also, if you aren't good about washing the jar after use, crystalline sugar deposits will accumulate around the seal and act like an abrasive and eventually grind down your gasket until it no longer seals. If you see an accumulated deposit in the jar after it has dried, you need to clean it better. Blendtec promptly replaced my Wildside jar even though it failed because of my mistakes. I have 4453 cycles on the new Wildside and its showing ZERO signs of wear. 2.25 US cents per cycle seems like a great value to me.
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 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.
one cycle is all it takes with the Wildside featur

I've been using a blendtec for 7 years, and when i recently ordered a replacement jar, i got the wildside...I love it...its bigger and best of all the same blend cycle allows my frozen fruit blend to get thoroughly blended in just one smoothie cycle. Before i would have to run two smoothie cycles to get full blending...with no frozen chunks! Hats off to the engineering of a better blender vessel!
I purchased my Blendtec several years ago, and at that time, only the smaller jar came with it. The Wildside jar gives me plenty of room to make smoothies for me and my husband without worrying it is going to overflow. I really love the larger capacity. It is much more convenient.
