I had my first jar for about eight years before it died. I bought the smaller size but it was too small for most things, so I bought this jar and luckily it was on sale so I bought two!
We replaced our jar with a new one, the old one faded to a haze. The new Jar blade doesn’t blend as good as the old one! Also the on new one the measurements markings are very light and hard to read. The product quality is going the wrong way, not as good and overpriced.
Ordered a replacement FourSide Jar. Definitely an upgrade. A lot quieter on the ears and an updated cover. A little pricey just for the jar itself, but we do use it all the time.
I was very disappointed that the jar is so much smaller than the previous one. Its the same height, but much smaller around. We had to make some major adjustments in our recipes.
Our Blendtec is several years old. When it started spewing out black junk, we called to see if we needed to purchase a new machine. We were informed that it was the jar that was causing the issue, so we ordered a new one. It does work, but I have to hold the jar in place to keep it from wobbling like crazy. I called the to find out if this was normal, and was told that it does not exactly fit older bases, but it does still work.
I bought a few weeks ago. I needed another blender jar to store in refrigerator with smoothie mix, use one for blending up freeze dried foods, and mixing eggshells and stuff for greenhouse tomatoes and I am constantly needing a clean dry one. My blentec blender is most awesome #1 blender! I love it, it just keeps going no matter what I blend up every day! Love the smaller jar.
