Seems of good quality, sturdy. I hope this one lasts longer than the last one did. For the price you pay for these blenders, the accessories are certainly not cheap.
I’ve been a long time fan of Blendtec. My first blendtec that I bought 15 years ago is amazing. I bought a brand new one and it didn’t work as well. I bought a new jar for my old one and it leaves pieces of frozen banana not completely dissolved. Also leaves small protein powder clumps. Blendtec has changed and it’s such a shame.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I loved the original jar that came with my Blendtec, but this one is a really poor design. The top blows off if you put chunky items in it like frozen fruit. It makes quite a mess.
I loved the new jar and the rubber top is so easy to clean. It is almost like it is non stick. Our old one just wore out. We use ours regularly and no issues. I swear by Blendtec !
These jars and the blendtec bases last forever. I own 2 and the 2nd one still under warranty, when the jar blade gasket gave out it was replaced as promised.
Nice to have a new jar, replacement my 7 year old jar. The bearing had worn out and the jar became too noisy, but it was used almost daily. No complaint, it lasted longer than I expected. Quality materials, sturdy, this FourSide pulverizes anything to a smooth consistency. My only issue is the opening in the lid for this version versus my former lid is too small, difficult to add ingredients and it fits a bit too loose. Ugh!
