This little gem arrived a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! Makes quick work of single serving smoothies with ease and tackles those thicker recipes like pesto or nut butter expertly! Perfect little jar to go with the Wildside jar!
I'm very happy with the Twister jar. I've used mainly for making my pre-workout smoothies and grinding flax seeds which it does flawlessly. I also plan to make my own almond butter as soon as I run out of the store bought jars of almond butter I have. It's also quieter than the Wildside jar because the entire configuration is on a smaller scale. I love the products this company makes.
I have the mini-twister jar, but needed this one because it makes a full size batch of nut butters. The mini is just too small for that - and this jar is perfect! We've made various nut butters, salad dressings, and individual smoothies and this twister jar is PERFECT!
I bought the twister Jar few weeks ago and it's been great so far. I just throw frozen berries and get natural sorbet. No more cravings for the ice cream. It's great to use for anything that's too thick. Previously I have been using regular jars and it wouldn't work as well for thick mixtures but this jar does all the job.
I bought this over a month ago and have used it several times (about two to three times a week). I use it mostly for purees and such. The size is very convenient, especially when I only need to blend a small amount. It beats dragging out the big Wildside jar.
I haven't made any nut butters or hummus so I can't speak to how the Twister Jar does with those.
Note that the twister lid is really for thicker blends (nut butters and such). I used it a couple of times to puree some tomato sauce and the top does not hold in the liquid. It splashed all over the top of the blender. It does say in the description that you should use the gripper lid for thinner blends but I overlooked this beforehand. That was my bad. I switched to the gripper lid and all was right with the world. No splashes.
The Spectacula spatula is awesome. The shape really does allow me to get all the remnants out of the jar. I even use it for other types of equipment in my home. Love this thing.
Cleaning is a breeze. I haven't had to struggle to clean underneath the blade. I owned a Ninja for years and for some reason the Ninja seemed to be much harder to clean.
I do think the price is a bit high for this particular jar, but after owning a Ninja I see a huge difference in the quality of the blend from blendtec. I'm willing to pay it.
I've had my twister jar a week and made lots of baby food to freeze for quick meals for baby. Homemade almond butter is so easy to make and healthy...not to mention way cheaper than at the store. I've had my Blendtec for a couple years and wish I would have bought the Twister jar a long time ago!
