It has been found that the so-called BPA-FREE Copolyester Blender Containers actually do leech more likely. The tough food-grade Polycarbonate containers (a material that is used in the Aircraft Construction - windshields - industry) that we provide and sell are safe, hard, and extremely durable.

You are looking at a square container made from Polycarbonate material. The food-safe material is approved by the FDA and the European Commission for Food Safety. Dimensions are about 6 inches by 6 inches wide and deep and 9.5 inches high. The total weight of the jar with blade, bottom plate (nut that holds tightens the blade assembly into the inside of the container) and the lid is about 2 pounds.

Some other competitors' containers can physically be fitted with the OMNI blade and some competitors' blades also fits into the OMNI jar, however with some exceptions, and of course not approved by them - will void warranty. So if you are interested in retrofitting or using after-market parts, you should definitely be aware that you are doing it at your own risk and without being encouraged by us. And you should call us before you purchase a jar with or without the blade if you are buying it to fit on your blender that carries a competitors' brand name. This is because we will not assume any liability if you make a purchase in error. And what if the jar, blade, etc... does not fit right?

More about the OMNI jar... you see that the measurement markings on the container are up to 50 fluid ounces. Originally, JTC has determined this jar to be a 1.5 liter jar because of it's markings. But if you fill it up with water just below the lid, the content is over 64 fluid ounces. Competitors have 64 oz jars with markings of 32 fl oz, 64 fl oz, and even a 96oz jar respectively which actually fits only 72 fl oz of water by the time the lid hits the liquid... We hope you can notice therefore the diverse marketing approaches. So we thought it to be only fair that we rename our 50 oz jar to be a "64 oz" jar. After all, none of the competitor's jars will allow you either to blend a full content of 64oz put into their blender container. The average maximum blending quantity is about 40 fluid ounces.

WARNING! THE BLADE IS SHARP, ACTUALLY VERY SHARP. NOW THAT WE WARNED YOU, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT WE DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT THE BLADE IS SHARP. YOU COULD CUT YOURSELF EASILY. BE CAREFUL! NEVER IMMERSE ANY ITEM OR THING YOU DO NOT INTEND TO BLEND UP. NEVER INSERT YOUR HAND/ARM INTO THE CONTAINER DURING OPERATING THE BLENDER. IT MAY CAUSE DISMEMBERMENT OR AT LEAST EXTREMELY SERIOUS INJURIES.

Another great benefit the OMNI blender jar offers is its low-profile size to allow you to fit it on top of your Omni blender under most (or many) kitchen cabinets right on top of your counter-top. This jar is easy to clean and you can make wonderfully smooth purees, soups, smoothies, nut butters, and ice cream.

One of the draw-backs or a slight disadvantage with the JTC square 64oz Jar is that when blending very little ingredients (less than 8 ounces) and these are nuts or other sticky ingredients, because there is not sufficient liquid flow, the blades tend to push the nuts into the jar corners. The sticky and powdery nuts (ingredients) then will not flow back towards the blades and the blades can't reach them anymore. That is why you should put more than 8 or 10 ounces of nuts into the jar when blending dry ingredients or nut butters. Alternatively, you could use one of the competitor's blender jar, definitely subject to our disclaimers and disclosures right here!

A future improvement idea is the OMNI Jar lid (square lid for square container) to be made little harder. Currently it sits tight enough on the jar when blending so it won't fall off during blending (most of the time) and it is loose enough on the jar so it comes off easy enough so you don't have to pry it off with an axe or a stick of dynamite. Some very few customers have stated that the lid leaks liquid / water occasionally. But that happens in our opinion because of the jar being filled up too high. These very few customers put in more than 50 ounces of liquid and/or blended something that is nearly as or equally liquid as water.

Therefore, we caution you to not fill up the jar over the 50 ounce mark and then only put in ingredients mixed with some 1 cup or maximum 2 cups of liquid / juice / water. When you intend to clean the jar with water and soup in the jar on the blender, consider the expansion factor with the foam and also the pressure. Also, cooking hot soup in the blender container is not recommended when over 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course the blender can handle the temperature and blend it that hot in about 5 to 6 minutes, even as hot as 180 degrees F within about 8 minutes.

And obviously, what has leaking of the lid/jar to do with the temperature in your container? If the heat or steam is contained by a rubber lid, the greater the heat/steam pressure gets inside the jar, the more it pushes on the lid, until your own personal volcano drives the lid out of its place. It is hopefully understandable to you and to all of our common sense that steam can cause burns, and water leaking onto the blender (sucked into the motor with the cooling fan) will most likely shorten-out your blender motor and/or the circuit board.

Note , that this is extremely important to understand, UL (Underwriters Laboratory) issues label approvals with the UL mark on it. The OMNI Blender has such UL approval / registration. This signifies that the blender and/or the jar with the blender has been tested and been found safe and worthy of the UL mark. But the UL also specifically says that such blender is not a cooking device and should not be used for the heating-up process of meals such as soup or hot water. Plus it is not even efficient. And when your soup is hotter than 110 degrees, most nutrients are being terminated! So please be considerate of your future nutrition survival rate. It will definitely help you to read more about making soups, and may we also refer you to the user manual, please?
