Has anyone had a problem with this blender leaking? I've had mine for 3 years and I'm not sure if it's the gasket or what?

Yes. Sometimes it leaks around the gasket that attaches the glass jar to the plastic base but more often it leaks through the center of the plastic base where the metal blades penetrate to mate with the motor. The lock not that snugs in the blades loosens itself after nearly every use and then leaks the contents of the blender through the bottom onto the motor base. This is not a good blender.

We had bad luck with KitchenAid blender with the glass pitcher. The base was hard to tighten properly and finally the glass chipped. We finally got rid of the unit and purchased a newer model, with a plastic pitcher that was permanently attached to the base. We are very pleased with the new unit.

I would removed both gasket on each side and do it again and tighten it enough so that it does not leak. If it still leak, go to any hardware store and just get a new gasket.

I've had mine for about 4 years, it now has leakage from a hole in a bottom corner. Time for a new one.

I wish I could help but you are in the same situation I was. My Code number didn't match anything for it was 18 years old. I studied the top and bottom of the part I needed and what I had. Said a prayer and took a gamble and it seems that all the center parts were about the same. My blender hums perfectly maybe a little louder but it works without replacing it. I am surprised that Cuisinart wasn't any help to either of us. TNT

I have had mine for almost 6 months without a drop of leaking. Perhaps try reassembling it.

I brought a Used Health Master and have had the blender for 4+ months now and no problems w/ it. I'm somewhat surprised to see all the feedback about leaking jugs and rusting. My experience has been great so far, but I can't speak to its long-term use.

I've had this blender for about a year and a half and the part of the shaft that holds the blade on has worn down so that blades will no longer stay attached. I just called the phone number listed here (888-642-5534), told them my problem, and they are supposedly shipping me a new shaft. They didn't give me any trouble - great customer service! I guess I will have to wait and see if I actually get it, but based on my experience so far, I would suggest you calling the company.

As with other posters, we've never had an issue with ours leaking and have been using it for many years. Sounds like a defect, or like it may have been cracked by dropping/dishwasher/etc.

I am glad to see someone else has this problem! I have had mine replaced 4 times! Did you ever get yours working? I had an old model for 10 years that never leaked, so I know what I'm doing. Frustrating.

I have 2 of these and no leak issues with either. Where is it leaking? If you are sure it's a seal issue, return and get a new one.

Sorry to hear about the leak! It could be caused by dirty debris wrapped around the brushes or underneath the unit. Try cleaning the bottom and if you are still having issue please contact us so we can help. http://www.bissell.com/contact-us/?cid=ccsocial2107

Hi, I freecycled my Magic Bullet. I did use it once without the gasket; but, I was using dry ingredients. My son tried it when he was mixing some ice cream, milk, and Instant Breakfast. He barely got a chance to start it when he had to stop. The liquid started leaking out.

I guess there has to be some problem with its motor,I didn't overwork for sure,just stopped suddenly.You would definitely wanna keep away from it...I am sure there are better blenders out in d market.

They are out of business. I had one of these and it died the third time I used it so I called the company and they are not taking orders or giving any service....If you still want a gasket I would look on ebay.Good luck

I just got one and it leaked out the hole in the back. I found the problem to be the way the tank was molded. The ribs in the tank shrink more during the molding process, so the area where the round rubber seal hits the tank isn't flat, hence the leak. I bought some epoxy for plastic and put it in the grooves where the seal hits. That seems to have stopped the leak even with a full tank of water. The epoxy cost about $6 at hardware. After the epoxy started to harden, I scraped off excess and the sanded with fine sandpaper to make smooth. It took 1/2 hr to do but worth the effort. I hope this helps someone that is frustrated with the unit.

I have not had any issues with it so far. Check the seal and make sure you secure the lid before using. If it continues to leak, contact Ninja for a replacement. Hope that helps.

It comes with a warranty but I'm not sure if its a 3-year warranty. You can call Blendtec and ask them.
