Does Blendtec have a lifetime warranty?

Blendtec blender offers an 8-year warranty on their blender motor bases, a 3-year warranty on the blender jars, and a lifetime warranty on the blades.

Why does my blender keep getting stuck?

The issue of cavitation—when your blender gets stuck because of a big air bubble—is one that can literally stop you in your tracks. To prevent lock-up, be sure to keep a good balance between the ice (or any frozen food) and the liquid that you’re combining. You can also use the “Pulse” feature to dislodge it.

Why are Blendtec blades dull?

To be absolutely clear, the reason Blendtec uses dull blades is to achieve optimal performance. There’s one extra bonus to having a dull blade build into your container jar though. Again, this is more of a bonus benefit of using dull blades, rather than a reason to build them into a blender design for the sake of it!

How do you clean a Blendtec blade?

Add 1 cup (240ml) of hot water and a drop of liquid dish soap to the blender jar. Place the lid tightly on the jar. Place the jar on the blender base and press “Pulse” for 5 seconds. If your blender has a Clean cycle, press the “Clean” button.

How long should a Blendtec blender last?

In the event something does go wrong with your motor, Blendtec offers an impressive 8-year warranty on their new blenders. I will say again, I’ve had mine for nearly 12 years and have had no issues. Friends of mine who have bought a refurbished Blendtec have also had great success with a strong, long-lasting motor.

How do you lubricate a blender blade?

If the cutter shaft sticks, remove the jug, turn it upside down, and spray a lubricant (like WD-40) over the blades.

Should blender blades be sharp?

Sharp is definitely better: A sharp knife in a blade assembly inside a blender jar cuts ingredients much finer and smoother. Blending goes faster, it is faster better tasting too.

Why is my blendtec smoking?

If your blender is smoking: Run a blend cycle without the jar on the blender. If the blender continues to smoke, please call customer service to complete more troubleshooting. If the blender stops smoking, the jar needs to be replaced.
