I bought this jar to replace the original jar that came with my Blendtec- the bottom seal had failed and was flinging ground gunk both inside and outside my blender jar. Blendtec customer service was going to send me a free replacement, but it never arrived. I love my Blendtec, so it was worth finally biting the bullet to buy the replacement. Fast enough shipping, good quality jar. I hope it lasts!

Our apologies for not receiving the replacement jar. That shouldn't have happened. A customer service representative will reach out to you to get you the replacement jar you should have received.
I abuse my blender daily with frozen fruits, and the jar failed after having it for about 7 months. I got a new one in 3 days w/ no hassle after emailing customer service about it. Realistically, no blender jar's blade assembly is going to last years with daily use (I bought the blender expecting to need warranty replacements for the jar, since there's no chance it's going to last 7 years with daily use), so as long as blendtec keeps sending me new jars when they wear out for the duration of the warranty, I'm satisfied.
The jar sounds different when it's starting to wear out, so when this happens get in touch w/ customer service so you can get a new one shipped out to you before the old one completely breaks.
Ok, my jar has a gasket leak. I freaked out, however I called the customer service and since my blender was only 2 years old they are replacing it. LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
I purchased a new Blentec blender within the last year and my Wildside jar is already failing. How long is the warranty on the jar? Also, I have two spare jars from previously. How can I tell which one is the newest jar? Will the number on the bottom indicate when the jar was made? Thank you.

The warranty on a jar purchased with a blender is the same as the blender (7 or 8 years depending on whether it was refurbished or not). If the jar was purchased by itself, the warranty is 3 years. I recommend calling our customer service team at 1-800-253-6383. Have your serial number as well as the number that is on the bottom of the jar ready and they will be able to check your warranty on the jar and give you options.
This blender is extremely versatile. I use it for many tasks from whipping up smoothies and hummus to making bread dough. One base and two jars (Wildside and Twister) take up little space but deliver big on multi-function ability. If it could cook rice, it would be the only counter top appliance I would need. The really important thing is it works great.
Luv my Blender, disappointed in the leaking gasket

Ive not quite has this a year and the black gasket to my wildside jar started shredding - we'd see little black shreds on the base when we removed the jar- now the gasket leaks any liquid we put in. Im really disappointed and hope I can have the jar replaced since we dont use it daily but its a great product and the jars are awfully expensive if the gasket is going to shred and wiggle the blade and leak. I thought my kids did it so blamed them, but in the Q&A section here, I see its not an isolated situation. I hope we can get this resolved so I can go back to loving my blender!
I like the wide body and that I can do three smoothies. I run a coffee shop and use it constantly. The new lids though come in two parts. Too any parts to wash and keep track of in a busy shop.
