I bought this at the same time I purchased a new Waring professional blender, so I can accurately compare the replacement to the original and I find them identical. The only surprise in both the original and the replacement when compared to my old Waring model carafe is that the bottom cannot be removed for easier cleaning.

I don't consider this a serious deficiency, as the all glass carafe (except for the blade and shaft on which the blade is mounted)is relatively easy to clean, with no little rubber or plastic nooks and crannies in which food can hide and fester.

Recommended.

This is a great blender. However, I've had to replace the jar twice in two years. Both times there were problems with the assembly that spins the blades. Once it just started leaking. Another time it flew apart while blending a smoothie.
I use the unit almost every day, but a "Pro" bartop jar should be more durable than that.

Our original blender jar had one broken blade. We put up with a 3-blade blender for years before we finally invested in a new blender jar. We had it for a month or more before we actually used the new jar. I don't think it had even lasted 6 uses before the central screw of the assembly broke into two. We weren't doing anything unusual with it - sauces and smoothies. It's now completely useless, and past the time to return it. For the price, and supposedly "professional" quality, you'd think you'd get something that would last more than a week. Now we're out fifty bucks and still have a lousy blender.

I've had my Waring blender for over 10 years. I finally decided to replace the jar because it had a chip and the middle cap was missing. In January 09 I ordered the replacement. In April, the blade sheared off (strange) but[...] wouldn't exchange it because it was past their 30 day exchange policy. The blade was obviously defective. Oh well. I'm ordering a replacement blade, but not through Amazon, :( and most definitely not from[...]

I, too, experienced the failure of the blade assembly shaft with my replacement jar (not bought at Amazon, but it's the same model). The original jar and blade assembly lasted around 12 years; I probably made thousands of smoothies with it. The replacement jar lasted six. SMOOTHIES, not years!

I love this blender, and the motor will probably last forever, but Waring's quality control appears to be poor now regarding their blender jars. I'm very disappointed with them. Waring, if you are reading these reviews, you need to address this issue immediately. I paid $60 for a replacement blender jar that failed after SIX USES. You're going to lose me as a customer if I don't see positive steps taken to address this issue.

the replacement isn't the exact same size as the one I broke. It's loose when put in place. Still works though.

I received a Waring 60th Anniversary Blender as a gift 2 years ago. I thought Waring was a good brand and had quality products. I did not use the blender until a week ago. I was surprised to find out that the jar was leaky from the bottom. Waring refused to replace or repair the jar since it had passed the limited warranty. I am very disappointed with the quality of the blender. Please don't be too sure about their products.

Received a call from customer services after I ordered the part asking if i had the 'knowledge' to replace the part. I did. BUT it wasn't as easy as one would think. So ask for instructions if there are any.
The assembly still leaked and the blade doesn't rotate. Off to Target for two blenders for the price of the replacement jar.

I bought this replacement jar when I chipped the glass on my other one. The blade assembly fell apart while I was blending something (just as everyone else's has). I emailed the company and they asked what action I'd like to take next. Um... send me another one... that won't fall apart... is that too much to ask? They never emailed me back.

I have replaced this due to the original taking a fall into the sink and breaking (my fault). The Replacement unit blade assembly shaft broke while making the first batch of frozen drinks. I am done with the glass jar. Will try my luck with the S.S. version
