Leaky Jar

The jar is leaking after little use. The woman I spoke with regarding the warranty kept asking for all my information and then said they would not cover it. I have family members that have a different brand. They are happy with what they have, so I will go in a different direction instead of spending over half what I already paid for a new jar that I can not trust.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

10 +yrs and still going strong!! Love this blender

I just wanted to drop a comment on how great our machine has been over the years! We use it at least two to three times a week still; for soups, sauces, marinades and salad dressings, mixing batters etc. But my absolutely favorite use for our blender has been for making nut butters with the small additional twister jar that we got when we bought our machine. I use this almost weekly and it makes the perfect nut butters. It’s not liquid-y, runny or dry & rock hard like store jarred, but smooth, textured and fresh tasting. I roast the nuts for a few minutes in the oven, cool and add to small jar in batches! So easy and delicious. Somewhat cheaper and much better tasting than what you can buy premade. With only one ingredient. It takes some effort to twist as it grinds, and is loud but pretty quick and worth it in my opinion. It has held up so well to constant use. Never had an issue. Still going strong.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. As the Customer Service Manager at Blendtec, I love hearing stories like yours from longtime customers.
It is wonderful to hear that your blender has been such a reliable part of your kitchen over the years. It sounds like your Blendtec has seen plenty of use and continues to perform exceptionally well.
I especially enjoyed reading about your experience with the Twister Jar. Fresh homemade nut butters are one of my favorite uses for it as well, and your method of lightly roasting the nuts before blending sounds delicious. It's great to hear that the jar is still producing the smooth, fresh results you love and has held up so well through regular use.
Thank you for your loyalty and for trusting Blendtec over the years. We are proud to create products that become such an important part of our customers' kitchens, and feedback like yours means a great deal to our entire team.

smoking, shredded plastic in food and under jar
on April 27, 2026

Hit start for the 566th time. Halfway through blending, I start smelling burning plastic. Under the jar the gasket was shredded and smoking. Poured out my smoothie and found tons of plastic. If the company does not replace my jar for free, I will be looking to buy a new machine with another company. This is dangerous and unacceptable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. My name is Crystal Smith, Customer Service Manager at Blendtec, and I understand how concerning and upsetting this experience must have been.
I am sorry to hear that you noticed a burning smell during blending and then found material from the bearing assembly in your smoothie. I can certainly understand why that would raise concerns about both the performance of the jar and the safety of its contents.
I would like to reassure you that our blender jars are made from food-safe materials and that the bearing components are not made from materials that would be harmful if small particles were accidentally ingested. However, we absolutely do not expect this type of failure to occur, and we would like the opportunity to review your situation and determine how we can assist.
Please give our Customer Care team a call at 1-800-748-5400, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM MST, and ask for Crystal. I would be happy to discuss your experience personally, gather a few additional details, and help find a resolution.
Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Pretty sad to pay so much money for a blender only to have the jar leak at gasket area so you can’t use it.

Poor quality on jar gasket

Same issue here.
Rubber part shredded eventually leaking from jar while blending.
Wish this problem would be fixed.
Jars are expensive and so now I have to get a replacement.
Or how much we spend on this machine there should be no issues like this but I love the blender

does not last very long

I had this jar coming with the original blendtec. The number on the panels show 643 which I guess means I used this machine not more than 643 times and half of them may use the smaller jar. I just realized recently it is already leaking. can't repair it either.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Right size for family smoothies

We use this jar primarily for morning smoothie bowls and a wide variety of other things like grinding wheat for sourdough. Recommend for sure if you don't have one.

Better than the original jar that was purchased many years ago. This jar reduces the sound of the machine and my smoothies blend much quieter than before. Expensive, but happy with the purchase.
