Does anyone else's leak through the hole in the bottom of the base? I already replaced the rubber ring but the blender still leaks.

If the sealing ring and bottom cap are undamaged and in place you should not have problems with leaking from the base. For assistance, please contact Oster customer service directly. You can view contact information or send us an email at www.oster.com/contactus.

I bought mine new too and it doesn't leak. If that is the case, I might consider returning it. However, the plug is tricky to get into place and the first time, I actually didn't have it all the way in. I would double check that the plug is pulled all the way through the bottom. There is a little lip on the plug that will come out the button and be firmly in place to the plastic base. Hope this helps!

I have this issue with mine. The handle doesn't lift high enough to lock it into place, so not only does the tank tend to fall out easily, it constantly drips and leaks. It didn't start until after the return date, so I still have the carpet cleaner and I still love it, aside from this annoying issue. I could probably order a replacement tank for it and solve the issue once and for all.

It scratched mine. I have swirl marks all over the bottom, but I still love the blender.

I tried to replace my blender cup because of a chip on the rim (it still holds a seal to use it!). I couldn't find any replacement parts searching online. But the same smoothie blender was on sale on amazon.com with free shipping so I ordered a new one! I'm still using everything except the cup from my original purchase and the o-ring is still good as new! it's in there permanately and you hardly can see it, so its not a peice that will wear out easily. I have used my smoothie maker at least once a day or more since purchasing it almost a year ago and I LOVE IT!!! Its easy to use and blends great! So after a year I'm still very happy with the purchase and I think it was a great buy!! Hope this helps you out!

I had the same problem, because of the bottom rubber gasket that makes it really hard to screw down tightly. I solved it by getting rid of the gasket and using plumbers putty instead. No leaks.

My blender looks a little different. Maybe it creates a vacuum seal and you just need to use something to break the seal. I've not had that problem.

there is a rubber ring around the outside of the rim. it acts as a leak preventive. it is kind of like the washer in a blender between the jar and the blade, but it has a groove that overlaps the lid and fits into around the edge. really makes it leak resistant

Not sure I haven't had that problem. The one time it leaked at the top I realized the little rubber stop had come out. Thank goodness the little rubber piece was sitting on my desk. I put it back in and no problems since. I'm so sorry you are having issues ... I love mine. Maybe try taking a soft 'old' toothbrush and make sure all the screw together parts are clean.

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.

When I first got mine, I thought there was a problem, but then I realized that it worked just fine. I think it just looked wrong because the bottom of the container is bigger around than the blender cap so it looks like it should go down farther into the base unit.

Hi Sharon,Mine still not leaking after reworked as described by me. Really is a nice design but a minimum care from Black & Decker with us, "victims" of defective products like this one, is desirable.Cheers,Paulo

Yes. Sometimes it leaks around the gasket that attaches the glass jar to the plastic base but more often it leaks through the center of the plastic base where the metal blades penetrate to mate with the motor. The lock not that snugs in the blades loosens itself after nearly every use and then leaks the contents of the blender through the bottom onto the motor base. This is not a good blender.

Mine Still works and hasn't leaked. I put grease on the o-rings to help prevent it leaking. If it's within 30 days call the vendor and see if you can get a replacement.

Where is it leaking from? Make sure the filter is in place and the water basin is fitting into the base properly. Otherwise, I would return it because it sounds like you have a defective one.

Did you remove the plastic bushing that used to sit between the water bottle and the cooler? I did and I had some leakage - when I returned the bushing (ring), the fit wasn't great, but the unit sealed such that I can have the lower portion of the filter unit 1/2 full and not have leaking. If that doesn't work, you can try a sheet of silicone or food grade rubber and cut a hole in it for the filter unit to sit. Alternatively, the filter unit comes with a check valve that is supposed to close off the filter from the crock when the crock is full - is that operating?

I would try eBay for a replacement lid. I got a replacement part for my VERY OLD blender that I couldn't even get from the manufacturer.
