I have had this for over a month and I love it! I make smoothies every day for my husband and I. This wide size jar gives us both a pretty large smoothie that we can enjoy! I'm so happy with my purchase!
I replaced my older jar (bought the unit as a refurb 10 yrs ago) because it was pretty cloudy, getting hard to clean and leaky at the bottom. This replacement jar is a larger version, but works perfectly with my blendtec. Cleans up with a rinse and no more links. Our motor keeps on chugging just fine after 10 years of use.
This is a great jar and what a blessing to have a brand new one. I’ve always wondered if the reason blendTec doesn’t have a pusher poker like vita mix does is because of copyright reasons. But I made my own one! I picked up some PVC plastic pipe and duck taped the end. Use a plastic ring as a marker so you don’t push the poker down too far and hit the blades, works great. The five corner jar is a good idea but still not as good as having a pusher poker, no comparison
I wish it was a bit more durable. I had to order a second Wild Side + jar because my first one got tipped off the sink and fell to the floor. A chunk of the square base was broke out. My blender wasn’t even a month old.
