I just purchased the Blendtec 4 side jar blender. Is that only a 2 qt. jar? Is it easy to clean?

It holds two quarts with room to mix and is easier to clean than the smaller size

it is over 2qts and I usually clean it via dishwasher but you can also wash it by running it with soap water inside too. It's easy to clean.

The Fourside jar is approximately 2 quarts (usable volume is less since you have to allow space for the expansion that occurs as you blend and add air to what is being blended). As for cleaning, it is very easy to clean under hot water. We use a brush to get down inside around the blade. Just be careful not to use an abrasive sponge or brush as it could scratch the jar material.

Same thing happened to me and it cannot be repaired....the entire jar must be replaced. Call kitchen aid, they offer a one time courtesy replacement jar even if your blender is out of warranty. I have retired mine from smoothie making and purchased a ninja ultima.

I don't believe that issue affects any Blendtec jars except for the ones they've been shipping with their newest 725 series (which isn't this blender). I've used it quite a bit and haven't had that problem.

It's pretty loud that's for sure. I did see a reduced volume version of the Blendtec but it's over $1,000. If you got the dough, get that. However, even though it is loud the blender rocks. Very happy with it. I don't know the other brand you're talking about but it's like the Vitamix in loudness.

My Blendtec leaves no chunks. If your going to be juicing a lot of greens? You should look at the Omega 8004, it's a Juicer, not a blender. As Blenders go, I feel the Blendtec is the best thing going.

The WildSide jar is 90 oz. The Blendtec website http://www.blendtec.com/products/total_blender_classic_combo?gclid=CMOJ0qr7kbwCFepDMgodVD4AIQ states that the WildSide jar is nearly 3 quarts; one quart=32 ounces

I LOVE mine. I just got it from Costco (5200) on Sat. Got it to make green smoothies, cooking prep, etc. My smoothies initially came out a bit thick for my taste but found that I didn't run the blender long enough AND did not add enough water. The result? Today's green smoothie was delicious, creamy and not too thick- it was just right! I was really tending towards the Blendtec and was on the verge of purchasing one but after reading wonderful reviews on here and online with the SEVEN year warranty sealed the deal for me. I read more about poor customer service with Blendtec compared to Vitamix (hardly read any and believe me I read ALOT of reviews! lol) I don't have a stake in Vitamix- I just love the blender because it's American -made (keeps jobs here), excellent quality and the company stands by its products. I look at it as an investment in my and my family's health. HTH!

I have only used blenders. I believe my wife tried without a blender and it ended up 'gloopy'

i am disappointed to hear all of this about leaking from a 400.00 appliance. I have been shopping for a powerful blender and was leaning towards the Blendtec but now am thinking the Vitamix may be the way to go.

The jar is glass. It's a very nice heavy jar. Unfortunately, it's the only nice thing about this blender.

I've never had a Vitamix so I can't say first hand. Although my sister does own one and when we talked about how each works...we basically had the same results. We are completely satisfied with the Blendtec performance and ease of use / cleaning. There is absolutely no comparison to the previous cheap blenders we have had in the past.

I only have the tall jar, but it works great for me. My husband and I drink a quart of green smoothie every morning and the tall jar is the perfect size. I've had my blender for over a year now and it works great.

This is a just below average blender, I bought it specifically for making smoothies. I saw it in our local grocery store, so I was able to really look it over before I bought it. However, the "smoothie button" is a load of garbage. I use frozen fruit and frozen veggies, liquid, and yogurt. I always put the liquid and yogurt in first and still I have to use the pulse button to get everything mixed (I have to keep stopping to mix with a utensil) and then I have to leave it on the puree button to really get it to blend smoothly. Considering I use it twice a day everyday it's kind of annoying, but while it's blending I get time to clean up. BOTTOM LINE it's takes too long for making smoothies, it IS very loud, AND worst of all it leaks, there is not a good seal no matter how tight I try to make it. Is it a good value for the money? I would have rather spent the money on the Ninja. Hope this helps!

Yes!Worked pretty well for me, although the Blender is on smoke less then a month in use (did not use for heavy duty).

The wildside jar fits under most counters. It cleans the same as other blenders. My daughter uses it daily for a variety of use and for a family of 4. She only has good things to say about it. We do recommend getting the twister jar in addition to the wildside jar for thick recipes and thick items like making peanut butter.

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.

Unfortunately unable to answer about fitting your particular model number. However, after reading some reviews some people had the same issue I did with the jar not sealing or lid fitting or leaking. I had to give up and just buy a new blender.
