Has anyone had a problem with this blender leaking? I've had mine for 3 years and I'm not sure if it's the gasket or what?

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.

We had bad luck with KitchenAid blender with the glass pitcher. The base was hard to tighten properly and finally the glass chipped. We finally got rid of the unit and purchased a newer model, with a plastic pitcher that was permanently attached to the base. We are very pleased with the new unit.

Not me. I've used my blender every day for over a year. I would return it before the warranty expires. Maybe you got a dud.

YES!!!!!!!!!! My rubber gasket came loose while I was processing a big batch of green smoothie. It wrapped itself all up around the rotating part (blade) at the base. When I turned the machine off and removed the container, all the smoothie went all over my counter and kitchen. Huge mess. The blade assembly and the gasket (obviously) were completely destroyed. This was my NutriBullet in less than 6 months, so I took it back to BB & B for my second and FINAL refund. Bought a Blendtec and never looked back.

My gasket was not built in. The entire bottom of the glass section of the blender came apart for cleaning. My gasket cracked in half and the replacement worked perfectly. Hope this helps you.

It comes with a warranty but I'm not sure if its a 3-year warranty. You can call Blendtec and ask them.

Not quite sure your question. What I did was replaced the whole parts. In my case, the leaking was between the parts and the water tank. Actually, that happened more than 1 year already. I can check it tonight. Good luck.

I have had 2 of these over the past 3 years - and never had a leak. Check and make sure the water container is fitted properly on the unit. Maybe yours is defective.

Mine was an older model, I typed in the model number on the bottom of the blender and it showed me the replacement parts. I hope this helps.

If you will call the 800 number for the company, they may replace it for free. Another brand did it for me on an old blender

For those who are having trouble with the rubber gasket coming loose, have you taken it off previously? I've had mine for a year or so, with no problems, other than peanut butter getting under the gasket a bit. Not sure if I should take it off, so I have been cleaning it with the gasket intact.

If its older than 3 years, you need to simply replace it. If newer, call the support line at Insinkerator and see if they will send you out a new tank! I have read that the leak, if it is from the tank, is due to a return hose that gets brittle and breaks. If you are handy, you can search the web for an article about replacing it. I am not very handy and screwed up my tank doing it so had to replace the entire tank.

Hi, I freecycled my Magic Bullet. I did use it once without the gasket; but, I was using dry ingredients. My son tried it when he was mixing some ice cream, milk, and Instant Breakfast. He barely got a chance to start it when he had to stop. The liquid started leaking out.

I've never had a problem with mine--I've had it two years and it still works great. I'm sorry yours is leaking. Have you contacted the manufacturer?

I had slight leakage and had to put it in hot water (not boiling) for about 15 minutes to soften up the gasket. After that it worked fine. I didn't call the company, but I probably should have. It works fine now. Hope this helps...

In my old blender, the cutting assembly was broken. I didn't replace it soon enough so had to get a whole new blender. So you might look for cracks in the assembly. They are not too expensive to replace.

We've not had any issues with ours leaking. I think the leaking problems were in earlier model years, ours hasn't has any issues.

Not having any problems. Is it new or used? If new, contact company for exchange. If used is it the gasket? Or is there a crack on the outer casing?
