Blendtec Jars Side-by-Side-by-Side
A good portion of Blendtec magic comes from the jars. Blendtec jars feature a patented, single, wingtip blade, one of the features that allow Blendtec's jars to effectively harness a Blendtec motor's enormous power. But performance comes from more than just the blade. Let's look at the three jars that are currently available for Blendtec blenders.
WildSide Jar*
We've discussed the strengths of the WildSide jar before—and even shown how others have copied the design when they couldn't duplicate the WildSide's performance. The WildSide jar has a wide base and a narrow fifth, or “wild,” side that changes the angle of the blending vortex; as a result, frozen ingredients are far less likely to form a cave above the blade. These features makes the WildSide jar great for large, cold recipes as well as more specialized blends, like bread dough. And, of course, making smoothies in the WildSide jar is never a bad choice.
FourSide Jar
When it came out, the FourSide jar revolutionized the world of commercial blending. Its square shape is much better at blending than traditional round jars. The jar also generates more friction, heating soups a little faster than does the WildSide jar. It's also especially good for dry grinding and making smaller smoothies.
Twister Jar
You might have seen our previous blog post about Blendtec's latest jar offering: the Twister jar. This jar is truly unique. Its patented scraper tines are incredibly effective—as well as super fun to use! The Twister jar is perfect for the thickest recipes. If you think something's too thick to blend in the Twister jar—you're probably wrong.
Of course, what you blend in your Blendtec jars is limited only by your imagination (and the warranty—so don't go blending rocks!). Have you discovered anything that makes a particularly awesome blend in your Blendtec? Let us know on Facebook or in the comments section below!
You can use the WildSide jar for all of our recipes. There will be many where you might have to double the recipe and stop the blender to scrape the sides and start again. We call for specific jars, only because they will be a quicker job, but the WildSide jar will still work.

Hi, I have Blendtec wild side Jar. I want to blend small portion of Wheat Grass and Aloe everyday for my husband’s aurvedic medicine practice. Do you have smaller jar available? Current jar is too big for small portion of meds. Please let me know if you are planning to produce in future. I do not want to spend another hundred dollar for Majic Bullet just to get small jar..
When the machine was purchased 10 years ago, the jar had an 8-year warranty. Please call customer service 800-748-5400 and they will help you replace your jar.
I have a Model Number K-TEC ES-3 it has the 4 sided jar. It has the number 5080 on the bottom of the jar. The bearings seem to be out by the blades, the motor is great, the blade won’t go around in the jar. How do I try and get a replacement jar. I understood that when it was purchased 10 plus years ago that the bearing would never go bad since it was a sealed bearing. Thanks for your help.
