Blendtec90 oz WildSide Jar, Commercial Grade - Five-Sided Replacement Blender Jar - Compatible with Blendtec Blenders - 36 oz Blending Capacity - Clear

The main body and the blade seem to be of good quality. And so far I have not had any problems while using it. The only comment that I would give to Blendtec would be the lid. There have been other comments that the lid seems thin and weaker than it should be for the price. I attached a photo of the lid for this model compared to the Blendtec 16 oz lid (part #40-242), and that lid has twice the thickness compared to this lid, in addition to being more ridged. But while it is thinner and not as ridged, I have noticed that while it is being used, especially during the smoothie setting, there is a draft that pulls the lid down and makes it tight and ridged. So I do not know if that was a planned feature by Blendtec to make it easier to take on and off with this size container while the unit is not running, but then became ridged with the created draft when it is being used.Overall, while there are comments about the lid being thinner, it still works fine. It might be to Blendtec's interests to explain the lid a little more or make a thicker lid, something that the general public would feel like they should get with a blender container that is over $100.

Finding the size of authentic OEM Blendtec jars was very difficult-- but happily I found this one which was the perfect size for the larger batches of cooking that our family does! I have used non-original knockoffs purchased online with disastrous results. The original OEM jars are sturdy but after 15+ years, the seal at the bottom started to leak and the blade started to wobble causing problems and I did not want to destroy the base motor unit-- or worse yet have some kind of electrical or other accident. Although this jar was definitely not inexpensive, this was an excellent purchase despite the higher price due to the high quality and OEM authenticity; we've used it multiple times and it has performed like a champ.

The edge that is there forces the heaven thicker unleaded parts back down to the cutting device, it really is remarkable to see how it works in comparison to the other jug the blendtec comes with. Our original wild side cracked during a move, not thier fault, but usually warranties on this company are awesome because things rarely break down. We make a smoothie in it sometimes multiple times a day, and it works really really well!

Nothing against the Jar, same as the original that came with the Blender. But the BOM cost has to be 10 bucks, this does feel a little bit like a rip-off

My older one broke so this was a great replacement.

I bought my Blendtec about 12 years ago. After many years of hard use (including a metal spoon mishap), the WildSide jar developed a leak at the bearing. It was time to get a new one.When I received this replacement, I could tell that they had improved the hardware around the jar/blade interface. It should be good for another 12 years.

Good Jar. Holds up well to heavy use. I bought this replacement jar because the original jar broke after 6 years of use several times per week. Right now, I use jar, and a blentec motor base to this to make a smoothie 1 or 2x daily. I prepare the Heavy Metal Detox Smoothie by Anthony William Medical Medium, and sometimes others such as the medical medium liver rescue smoothie, or the extractor smoothie. I use blendtec as a slightly cheaper alternative to Vitamix blenders. Blendtec offers similar models that have the same power motor base so you still blend whatever you wish.

I’m disappointed to spend this amount of money and the lid leaks, even when I only have 8 oz liquid in the jar and I stand there with my hand on the lid to make sure it has a tight fit. The jar and lid that came with my original purchase years ago never did that. I used to be able to walk away and never worry. This time around I spent the extra money to buy this OEM because I wanted quality. It wasn’t worth it.
