Blendtec blends better than the other blenders and it keeps working through the years. We have bought several replacement jars - just because the gears at the bottom start seizing up or leaking. But we continue to replace - because there is nothing better. My Mom has to have all her food blended and strained so we can not be without our Blendtec.
I have had my Blendtec blender for 14 years using it daily for smoothies, as well as for salad dressing and other things. I bought this to replace the original jar which still worked great but looked dingy. Very happy with the new jar!
I got this to replace my old jar (it was over 5 years old and had started leaking at the bottom). It came quickly (even though this is 2020 and shipping for anything has been taking forever) and has been a great replacement. I like the lid better than my old one - it’s just easier to put on tightly.
