If It Sounds Too Good To Be True.... November 24, 2007
30 out of 48 found this review helpful

I was looking for a heavy duty blender, when I got over the sticker shock I did my homework. After searching many online sites and reading many reviews I decided to purchase the Blendtec rather than the Vitamix. After six months of simple use for making smoothies with frozen berries the machine broke down. It would spin out of control and then shut down in overload. Customer service took my information and assured me a rush repair and return. That was two weeks ago. First they said they never received it and had never heard of me, fortunately I had Fed Ex confirm they had signed for it. Last week they said it was going out expedited shipping, not here yet. My review is that this machine is too expensive to break down after such minor use. Understanding that there may have been a faulty part, the customer service is non existent. From "who are you", "we never got the machine", to "It's in the mail". Check out reviews for Vitamix and its customer service rating. This was too good to be true, let the buyer beware of Blendtec.

WARNING!!! This blender will get you laid! November 8, 2007

I get invited to more parties just because this blender makes AWSOME margaritas. Fill with ice up to the flare; fill with tequila to the 16 oz mark, dump in the mix till the ice is almost covered. Hit the smoothie button and wait for the gals to all look over at "what da hell" is making all the noise. Now approach every hottie in the room in the room with cups in one hand and your frosty pitcher in the other. "Ladies, you look HOT tonight, care for something cold and tasty?" (line doesn't matter when you've got booze in your hand!).

Impressed !! November 8, 2007

This is a very fine product. I purchased this blender in hopes to get more vegetables in my diet. I am a weight lifter so I wanted a better alternative than taking vitamin and mineral supplements in pill form. I feel that the whole food is better than pills and using a juicer. I was considering getting a breville juicer but realized I did not want to make a mess. I know if I start making a mess I probably won't continue. I read alot that most of the nutrients are in the pulp left over from juicing including fiber. So I went with the best Blender on the market. All fingers pointed to the blendtec. When I got the blender at first look I was not impressed. It looked bland and a little cheap looking. Although I'm not sure what I expected the blender to look like. My first blend was cucumber, strawberries, avacado and a little soy milk with water. Pressed smoothie button and blast. This thing is powerfull. The smoothie was great. I have been very impressed with this product and hope it holds up for a very long time. Lets be honest the price tag is ridiculous. The most expensive appliance you could own. I highly recomend this If you have the bucks.

Outstanding November 6, 2007

This thing will cut anything that is not made of metal to shreds. In my smoothies, I put items such as frozen mixed berries and frozen bananas. I also put in entire carrots, celery, kale, apples, pears, etc. My previous Oster blender would strain when subject to such loading. However, the Blendtec handles such loads with ease. The coupling on each of the three Oster blenders that I previously owned fractured three times due to such loads. Although Oster replaced the blenders free of charge it was time to move on up to the Blendtec.

The blender has outstanding ergonomics. I definitely prefer the button design on the Blendtec. Buttons do not protrude out of the machine. Instead, they lay flat and are all covered by an outer layer membrane which makes cleaning rather easy.

The Blendtec blender is noisy but it is definitely not deafening. I don't feel the need to wear any ear protection as I only use the blender up to a few times a day. I don't hear any ringing in my ears after I use the blender, for example. Users who would be using this Blender rather frequently may want to consider use of ear protection or at least step away from the machine during the time that it blends. Keep in mind that Blendtec guarantees the blender only for those who use it in a home environment.

Good blender but price is not warrented November 6, 2007

I'm a smoothie guy, at least 4 times a week I make a OJ, yogurt, frozen berries, and banana smoothie. I've used a Hamilton Beach Bar blender for the past ten years and it did a great job. Once in awhile I had to reblend the smoothie to get a frozen strawberry completely blended but other than that, it did the job.

So, when the Hamilton Beach finally died, I wanted to get a more powerful blender to really make a smooth smoothie. Did my research and saw reviews on the Blendtec that almost brought tears to my eyes so I decided that was the one for me, in spite of the $400 price, if it made great smoothies, it was worth it.

Well, after having the Blendtec for over a month and making 25 smoothies (the blendtec keeps track of how many times you use it) I have to say, I was disappointed. It is indeed a powerful blender, and it does have a preprogrammed smoothie button, but I still get the occasional strawberry that was not pulverized so now as a rule, after the preprogrammed cycle, I do a ten second pulse blend and that seems to make the perfect smoothie.

The Blendtec is a good blender but not 4X as good as the Hamilton Beach Bar blender. I'm not going to use it for Soups, or as a wheat mill, so I may not be the right audience. If I had the whole thing to do over again, I'd buy another Hamilton Beach blender or one of the ones in that class. For $400 I was expecting amazing and that's not what I got, what I got was a good blender for $400, and there are good blenders out there for much less.
