Blendtec 40-609-BHMV 2-Quart Blender Jar

 (4 customer reviews)

If you are like me, you've had to buy one carafe after another at this outrageous price. The previous version had a rubber type connection for the blade and it wore out very quickly. The new version has a hardened plastic type of connection. It is not wearing out at all. No black dripping mess, no slivers of rubber, no melting rubber smell.

Why the price for these is so exorbitant is beyond me. Its probably 50 cents worth of plastic with a 2.00 blade fixture. If I'd known the replacements were so expensive I would not have purchased the blender.

This jar has been improved since I bought the last one almost one and a half year ago, it does not have the rubber between the blade and the jar which used to smell and taste like burned and you also use to find little pieces of that same rubber in the shakes you've made. Now I hope that at least it last for longer time because I consider it is a very expensive attachment.

I've been using my Blendtec daily for several months now and it has proven over and over why it gets top reviews. You can simply toss anything you want in the jar to make a smoothie and presto, you have a perfectly blended, frothy drink each and everytime.
