Pitcher Problems
on April 30, 2015

Great blender when pitchers are not broken. Had 2 pitchers replaced in less than a year. They are replaced warranty but still a hassle. May have bite the bullet and go back to vitamix

So obsessed with this blender. My old WildSide+ jar broke after about 4 years of heavy use. I tried using a Ninja for 6 months before I caved and bought a replacement BlendTech jar. I'd forgotten how SMOOTH things could be! My favorite thing about it is how well it blends chunky blackberry seeds and spinach/kale in my smoothies. It's dang expensive, but SO WORTH IT.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Will break as soon as warranty is done

I really wish I’d bought a Vitamix at this point. Our first Wildside jar broke while still under warranty and they replaced it. What happens is that the plastic bit holding the metal blade in place starts to deteriorate and gets into the food as well as all over the blender base. We were told we had to turn the blade manually to keep it from breaking. We did that for the second one and it broke about three months out of warranty. Piece of junk! It works great until it doesn’t. It costs way too much to replace every two years!!

Please help! I was willing to pay up for a quality blender but ended up wasting money on food because I blended black plastic into my smoothie. Gross! And now I see the jar is nearly as expensive to replace than to just buy a new blender. Shame on you Blendtec! I trusted you. Is there any warranty???
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

NOT more efficient!

I purchased the WildSide Jar because of the promise of more efficient blending. To me, that means less cavitation so that you don't have to stop and start so many times. I think I actually have to stop MORE often with this jar to stir and get the mix pushed back down to the blade. I regret that I didn't just replace my 20 year old Vitamix. Blendtec needs to come up with a tamper tool that safely pushes the food down to the blade WHILE it is running like Vitamix and Thermomix have. It is beyond frustrating that I have to stop it so often. So 90 seconds of blending takes me a minimum of 3 minutes to complete. But 90 seconds of blending in a Vitamix takes 90 seconds. The only improvement this jar has over the original is that you can have a bigger volume.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I make hard core green smoothies with lots of frozen fruit and greens and the Wildside jar blends like a champ! I also make soups and nut milk and butter and it works better than any other jar. I’m on my second jar (my dog chewed up the lid of the former one) and I love it. I’ve been making green smoothies with my Blendtec blender for 9 years!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Less noisy than the first jar that came with our blender but still loud enough when grinding frozen items that you want to hold your ears. Love the additional capacity but be care to not overload. Does an excellent job making very smooth smoothies.
