Bought a new jar because the old one had a worn out bearing (6-7 years of constant use). Would have been nice to have a replaceable bearing because there was nothing wrong with the old jar and I hated to throw it out but now we have a new one..
I have had the same Blendtec blender of almost 14 years. What a great machine. I have had to replace the 4 sided jar a couple of times but they have lasted for years with constant use. I have a lot of equipment in my restaurant but the Blendtec blender and jar have one of the best investment I have made in food processing equipment.
My husband and I have had a Blendtec for about nine years now and we love it. We use it mostly to do our protein shakes when we come in from working out. It is so good and does just about anything you want to put inside the jar. Great piece to work with and does the job so efficiently.
I make smoothies with this blender everyday. The customer service from Blendtec is great, and I have had my blender for years. My blender broke once and Blendtec replaced it. I just recently had to buy a new jar because my jar got too old. Worth the money, and is a reliable product.
I bought my original Blendtec in 2003 (yes 2003). I started getting black shavings and thought that was the end. I contacted Blendtec they recommend this replacement jar and viola! All is great. It fits perfectly, chops, purees, everything.
My husband and I purchased this blender some five years ago and have made well over a thousand smoothies and protein shakes. Due to normal wear and tear the pitcher just 'wore out' and this replacement pitcher is working great!
