Does the jar lock onto the base for use?

No. The jar sits atop the blade area but doesn't lock like many blender designs. We've never had the jar tip over or experience this no-lock design as a disadvantage.

yes, it locks in and stays put. Very good blender for the money but it's noisy.

The mixing jar threads into the base -- no leaking and easy to unscrew. For the money, this is a fantastic blender.
775871
Yes it does. Sometimes you have to turn it to find the fit, but it definitely does lock into place.

Yes it does lock on, but I don't recommend this product. Too loud and doesn't blend unless you have a ton of liquid in it.

Not really, as long as you lock it. you can latch it closed and then there is a switch to actually lock it.

Yes. The base is a little narrower but otherwise it is exactly like the larger container.

Thank you for your inquiry. We have not personally done that but it would work well. The small lip around the edge keeps the jars from falling off but isn't so high that it would make it difficult to get them out.

I agree with the other responses, I don't think it would work either. There are only groves for the jars to rest in, not secured. If you put it on its side, the jars would end up resting on each other and most likely fall down.

No the lid does not lock closed so if you tried to set it upright like that it would just fall open

Yes, but it does not lock in very well. Still, I am happy with the set up. Ours is against the wall, and opening the small container with one hand rotates it against the wall. It works.

Yes, just drill a hole through the lid. There's no provision for locking the rotation, but it hasn't been an issue for me.

Yes, the lid does lock. I have used one for two years and I've never had a problem.

No. This is a very large jar. Approxiamtely a foot tall and 6 inches, at least, wide. This jar is not a canning jar. My husband now uses it to put his cookies in. The plastic piece on the inside of the lid is not attached to the metal lid. You can super glue the plastic piece to the metal lid and this will help.

No, the legs do not lock and this has caused a couple of spills. Overall this is a good product but the screws holding the legs keep coming loose and have actually fallen out. This is a flaw in a generally good product.

Hi. I have one of these, and I can take the lid off of mine without removing it from the base.

Yes. The base is very narrow but the head is large and should prevent it from sliding all the way through. I have not used it that fashion so I can give you a 100% certainty. It might be a bit "off balanced" with the head being heavier then the rest. Good luck.

I have never used the jar for this but it is glass, has a wide opening for easy access... I just wonder if the lid might be too tight.

Yes it locks in place very well. With mine it had a slight error where twice it locked a little too well and wouldn't shut.

No, you cannot screw a mason jar onto the base of the blender. I'm not sure that it would be a good idea. The base is hard plastic. I haven't looked at the motor but to my knowledge metal is an essential component to most, if not all, electrical motors.

yes. It can be simply locked so the top won't open then stood upright for storage
