Thanks a lot for the video. I just ordered a free replacement after watching it. Blendec has amazing customer service. The warranty period is 8 years in case anyone is wondering. The manufacturing date can be found at the bottom of the motor.
Just received my blendtec 725, and i inspected the wildside jar bottom immediately for this is the issue why cnet did not recommend this blender, and I'm pleased to say, it's metal not rubber anymore.... For that, kudos blendtec for listening...
Delle C. They better listen to the consumers complaints about their products and fix them or, like any other company whom did that, they'd disappear from the market.
I am happy to hear that Blendtec came through for you. Unfortunately, I was 3 months out of warranty and was generously offered $20 off the $119 replacement cost. I decided to go with an Alterna Blendtec replacement jar instead, and I can not say enough good things about this jar. My Blendtec would alway dance around on my counter when I would blend Ice or raisins, but the Alterna jar makes my Blendtec hands-free again and I like the blade better too. Oh! did I tell you that it cost less too. If you can not get a new jar under warranty I highly recommend switching to an Alterna jar. Live, Love, Learn and Teach...
Wow cool, that is awesome info, it might be that I bought mine from QVC, maybe. we love the blender, I do believe they redesigned the Wildside because it does work better than the original jar. Thanks for the comment :)
I’m not having the leak yet but I made soup the other day and I think the rubber gasket is shredding. I’m positive I’m out of warrantee cause I’ve had it so long probably 7 or 8 years but there was a good chunk of time where I hadn’t used it. Any suggestions there?
hello does the new one that you received function better? the leak is gone? how many years does the new one last? We have the same problem but we did not know that we can call for a new one so we have bought the new jars more than 10 years ago. But its now leaking again. So I would like to know if the redesigned new jar that you said look like stainless steel without rubber last longer? Thank you.
@@tekolicious8310 Hello thanks for the reply, for how long have you been using the newly designed jar? and have you been using 3-4 times per day like the previous one? I would like to know more in detail to knw how many times it has been used in certain time and not causing leak.......to buy a new one. Thx
We just used our blendtec on the soup setting. It burned holes through the seal. Awful burning smell, and little rubber pieces in the soup we were making.
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. And I noticed that the translucent plastic cap is designed to vent the jar which will definitely help keep the lid on for hot soups.
I believe the motor is what the warranty was for,but I called and they gave me the jar for free, there are no real ways to fix other than to replace the jar, but if you don't ask you won't get. what is the worst that can happen??? The new ones have a better seal.
My fourside jar leaked after 9 years of using. I called Blendtec today. Since it is out of 8 years warranty, they gave 50% off coupon to buy a jar directly from their website with free shipping. So, not so bad, I almost buy new one. So, it’s worth to contact them first before you purchase a new one.
The new design did not solve the root cause of the problem - now instead of rubbing against the rubber seal, it is rubbing against the metal cover, leaving lots of metal particles behind after every use
Well that os not right. Now i bought mine through HSN so they got might have more pull. I would complain. Or post a facebook or youtube vieo. They watch and you never know.
Not sure if you got it from QVC? but call and see if it is covered. here is a link on amazon for a 75oz jar amzn.to/3isKf0Z for $99. if they won't fix. but I found them to be receptive to sending me a new one.
I just got my 2nd replacement jar from Blendtec (the original and replacement both failed). It has been 7 years since I purchased it and they sent me a new jar promptly. I was assured that the new design fixed some of the previous problems - apparently not for you )-:

Great info thanks.
Come on! Your fix was calling them and getting a new one? Give me a break.
Very helpful, I was thinking I was going to have to purchase a new blender, I think I can just get the jar.

Thank you for nothing.
Misleading title.
Calling warranty is not a fix.
Trying to point out that the design was flawed. And you could get a replacement for free.
thanks followed your advice and called customer support and canceled my $200 amazon order for a replacement. Thanks again
Awesome news, you don't ask and you won't get.

Is this the Jar?? I put a link to it. amzn.to/2F7SKj8
Use the old jar as a collection jar for coins, you can get loads in it. We used a spare i have for coins plus you can get them in the top bit easily.

The new one works perfect had it and used it for a while now

We use it most for smoothies, about 1-2 times a day. More in the summer

Fix? Warranty is the fix? Lol
Saurabh Jayant well mine was out of warranty but they still help. This is why I made it in case people are wondering if they are screwed 😄
Stupid video
I thought that you found a way to repair it. Anyway, good service by them.
8 year warranty. Just called them, replacement on the way. Not difficult for me.
Ok it looks like Blendtec has fixed the black speck problem. My question is with the lid, does it stay on tightly, even when blending hot soups?
I have not had a problem it seems really tight
Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. And I noticed that the translucent plastic cap is designed to vent the jar which will definitely help keep the lid on for hot soups.
My mom says the Alterna replacement jar is better quality than the Blendtec WIldside+ jar. Doesn't leak.
I agree they are, but I got the replacement for free trying yo get people to call and ask, can't hurt. Thanks for the comment.
Greetings, did you buy it so or is it just for your done? Two of them have knocked me so far and they were without that metal ...
2.02 error showing what's the problem
What does the 8 year warranty stands for? Is it for everything?
I believe the motor is what the warranty was for,but I called and they gave me the jar for free, there are no real ways to fix other than to replace the jar, but if you don't ask you won't get. what is the worst that can happen??? The new ones have a better seal.

This is not a fix!?
just pointing out the design flaw and maybe saying call support, not everyone thinks of getting a warranty repair. Thanks for the comment
The new design did not solve the root cause of the problem - now instead of rubbing against the rubber seal, it is rubbing against the metal cover, leaving lots of metal particles behind after every use
Mine only lasted 100 blends and Blendtec won’t return my emails for warranty
Well that os not right. Now i bought mine through HSN so they got might have more pull. I would complain. Or post a facebook or youtube vieo. They watch and you never know.
@@tekolicious8310 Don't email call them.
I have the metal bottom and mine is leaking

The jntegrated blade asswmbly is a joke. Every cheaper blwnder has removable blade assembly to clean and exchange the jars easier...
This video was a waste of time😞. Expected that it would help in fixing the issue, not just suggesting to get a free replacement under warranty.
I've had mone near a year
同じの使ってます😅
早く壊れないかな😅
dissapointment
All you blender snobs. Just buy a $15 Mainstays blender from Walmart. It breaks down no biggie. Just buy a new one.
