I bought the Fourside to use for my everyday grind....lol. I have a Wildside that I use for my smoothies and juices. The Fourside is for the rougher and seasoning jobs. The Fourside does a great job and am very happy with it.
I had to get a replacement blender jar as the old one started to leak after 600 uses. When i got the new jar, i noticed the lid is not completely closed and it comes apart in two pieces. This is harder to clean this way. The jar handle also is not solid its hollow so stuff can get stuck on inside of it. Im noticing the blades just are not fully blending frozen bananas in smoothies n i have to pulse it a few times after the cycle is done.
I bought my Blendtec with the Wildside Jar on sale at Costco last year and, while I have loved the operation of the blender, sturdiness and ease of cleaning, the bigger jar wasn't designated for some of the recipes and smaller amounts I wanted to use. Since getting the Four Side jar, I find I use it all the time with all the recipes I want!
"We hope you'll write about your FourSide Jar while it's still fresh on your mind." Actually its fresh on our minds daily, since that's how we use it. Would prefer it be made of glass...
We received our much anticipated Four Side jar a few days ago, and have used it nearly every day to make smoothies. It works nearly flawlessly, and I say nearly only because if you add too much frozen and solid ingredients, it will fail to blend without tamping down the mixture. This has only happened twice, however, and with a quick tamp, a perfectly blended concoction emerged!! Love this blender, an this Four Side jar!!
