BlendtecWildside+ Jar

Perfect replacement jar for our 11 year old blendtec blender.

Original part replacement. Fits perfectly!

This Blendtec jar is the exact replacement you need if you are looking to replace the one that came with the original blender. This has a slim, redesigned lid that is easier to clean. We had already thrown out our broken one (the seal at the bottom had worn out) so we had to guess at the size. This works perfectly, and I love how clean the plastic looks on the new jar!

The product is very good quality. Everything is great except for the price, which is why I've decided one star from the rating. I just don't see how one container can be this expensive.

I either needed a new blender of a new jar. Since there was nothing wrong with the Blendtec motor, I gave in to buy my 2nd replacement jar as we know the weak point is the bearing and holder at the bottom of the jar. I decided to upgrade to the larger 90 oz. Wild Side jar as my wife makes huge frozen smoothies. I read all the some 1300 Reviews and many have complained about the jar lid and how it dies not have the air hole or the window, so it builds up pressure and leaks out of the top,So, let me give everyone some discoveries that I made. Amazon and Blentec offer two verssions of the Wild Side Jar. Also, do not be fooled into ordering a copy jar as they are 1/2 the price and apparently judged by many as not the same quality as a genuine Blendtec.So, there are two versions of the Blentec Wild Side Jar. The commercial one is basically the same, except it has the lid without the vented air hole and the commercial only has a 1 year waranty. The non-commercial Home version has a 3 year waranty and does come with the vented window lid. Also, the 4 side Blendtec jar and the 5 side Wild Side jar are the same height and the lids from both jars are interchangable. I'm keeping my old lids, just in case. In addition, I see that Blendtec sells on Amazon a replacement lid with the vented window for around $26, in case many of you with the non vented leaky ones want to fix that problem.In sommery, buy the Home (not the commercial) replacement jar as they appear to be the same upgraded bearing, and the home version (at least mine did), has the vented window lid that latches and does not leak.

Fit my blender perfectly. This replaced the original jar that I had had for many years and thousands of smoothies.

The original one (not from here, the one that came with the blender) had it's o-ring breaking or something since we saw black bits, and decided it was time to get a new jar- we got this one and it fits and works perfectly.The lid is just slightly different since the old one had a sort of cupping lid where it funnels into the hole, where as this one has one that is sort of just a hole and no funnel. That's all that seems different, maybe the plastic feels a bit more durable- but otherwise mostly the same.

I've had a Blendtec since 2008. Unfortunately the original jar I had started leaking and I was outside the warranty period to get a new jar from the company (boo!). I opted to pick up the WildSide Jar model with the extra side and have been totally satisfied. This jar works so much better than the standard four sided jar.I primarily use my Blendtec to make smoothies. I pack the jar full with all the ingredients at one. I’ve done my research and I know how to stack them to assure they blend well (liquids/soft items on the bottom, frozen stuff on top). With the original four-sided jar I often had to stick a spoon or spatula or something into the jar to get my smoothie moving after the first blend or two. An air pocket would form in the middle and the half blended smoothie would stop blending. I didn’t buy a Blendtec to have to fuss with my smoothie blending. I bought it because the high powered motor, special jar and blade were supposed to do the work for me. Was having to stick a spoon in to release the air pocket in the middle that kept it from moving all that onerous? No. But it was still annoying and added to the time it took to blend since I’d have to do at least 2 if not 3 smoothie setting cycles to get it smoothed. The WildSide Jar has completely taken care of that. I pack my smoothie the exact same way into the WildSide Jar. Once I hit the smoothie button it just goes. The smoothie keeps moving and it’s blended perfectly with one smoothie setting blend.My old jar also started to look kind of gross after a while. I neglected to follow the instructions after a year or so and started cleaning it out with a bristled brush. Do not do this. The jar really does clean itself if you rinse it, put some soap in and fill it halfway with water, and then use the soup setting to let it swirl and clean. The water gets even hotter on this setting, so you can be sure it did clean up the inside. I give it a rinse to get the soap out and just use my fingers to rub down the area where the lid may trap some leftover blender product in the jar. The new Wildside Jar has kept its new, pristine look this way.Next time I need to replace the jar for my Blendtec (hopefully years and years down the line like my first jar) I would definitely repurchase the WildSide Jar model.
