Hi , the plastic blending jar doesn't seem to anchor very well on my blender. It can be knocked off very easily and I'm wondering if that is normal?

Mine is the same way. I place it toward the back of the counter and have had no problems.

I agree and initially thought the same thing. Believe thats how its designed because when the pitcher is half way full it's weighted down..?? I would say I'm actually pretty impressed with it

Mine is the same way. I checked some of the the more expensive blenders at the store and they are identical.

It's exactly how Vitamix has their carafe/jar and others. The idea is it makes it easy to take it off and clean and stick it back on the blender for usage. The super healthy persons tool has to be super easy. It poses no safety risk.

I have not had that problem. But I typically hold on to it while blending. Just a habbit I guess.

I don't know specificall but it has been my experience that all jars fit most blenders, the question is if your existing lid is round or clover? If clover then this should work, if round then you need a new lid or different jar.

Yes, the top of the blender comes off - it comes apart exactly like a real blender.

I also have had some trouble getting the splashguard back on after removing it.....I wasn't pushing it in place properly, I guess....once I got it firmly on again, it did not fall off, nor did it wobble. I am older, and have noticed that I'm losing my strength in my arms and hands....after fiddling with it a few times, I was able to get it to stay in place. Addendum: The splashguard does wobble when the arm is up or the arm is down without the bowl underneath it. The guard does not wobble when the arm is down and the bowl is underneath it. I used my mixer the other day and realized that it does wobble....when not in use!

Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I called Blendtec & they asked to listen to the motor, serial numbers, etc....after about 15 mins. they agreed to send me a new jar. They advised me I should not hold down the jar while the blender is in use as this will put more pressure on the rubber seal. Be careful as I

Not a clue as to why anyone would think of using a Mason Jar on a Blender??? Ummmmm...not a good idea it seems. However, I have this blender and it is GREAT! I Love it! Is powerful and easy to use...definitely recommend it. :) :) :)

No sure what you're having a problem with. It it's the black plastic base that holds the blade and gasket in you should tighten it well but not tight enough to crack the plastic. If you are talking about the Fully assembled jar onto the motorized base then make sure the jar is sitting on the metal stem and the metal stem goes up into the blade. If the jar is sitting properly on the metal stem and you lock the glass wings against the motor base it shouldn't move.

This website says yes: http://www.ereplacementparts.com/jarglasscube-p-632842.html Do save the plastic base, or order a new one. It should just tighten right onto the jar, and then the jar will pop into the blender.

Turn the black base. This will separate the glass jar. The blade, the grey rubber ring (gasket) and the black base should be together now. Just flip the black base and the blade + gasket should fall out. There is no trick here. The gasket is always on the top of the blade. I am not sure I quite understand your question though. What exactly is the problem?

Yes, I tested a canning jar. It screwed in place and did not leak. Also tested on blender and it worked fine.

I was wondering the same thing, imagining the spatula spinning around and what would you ever use that for? Thanks to the person who explained that it is just a spatula and does not attach to the blender. (Not an answer, just a comment.)

the blender is not secure to the base if the light is blinking. You think it is, but if you twist it on more tightly, it'll lock into place, then it'll work.

Before placing the jar on the blender's base, make sure that the jar is not cracked and the seal ring is not torn. Place the seal ring under the jar opening properly. It should not take any pressure to sit the jar down inside the base. If you are still having trouble, please contact Oster direct for more assistance.

Grab the handle and push until the bottom slots are lined upand twist the jar into the base. Make sure the collar is put on right. I don't know but it seems to me that you can leave the collar off. I haven't figured out what purpose it serves yet. Page 2 of the instruction booklet shows you how to put it together. I don't know what wattage it is.The book doesn't say. It's a a very cheap-made blender and so noisy, you need ear plugs to run it. Would never buy another one.

I've found it to be very good at this task. I've left my smoothie on the counter for an hour or toe, when I came back, it's still fully incorporated. Hope you like your blender.

I managed to finally get a replacement for my KitchenAid but I had to wait for months because there were none being produced. The second one I purchased has not begun to leak yet but I have little faith in it. The design is really bad. But that does not answer your question. All I can say is that if you are going to purchase a new blender check out the jar to make sure that it comes apart for cleaning and therefore parts would be replaceable if it began to leak.

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.
