Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

Blendtec's warranty service is splendid. The base as lasted without issue for 8 years. It's worth the money imho!

No more mealy chunky * pieces in my drinks. Also the smoothies seem more blended in the blendtec - smoother and more blended. The smoothies are finely smoothies. As they are in cafes.



Cons

Manual will only operate for 50 seconds, then the unit shuts off. Resarting the vortex throughout the volume takes 20-30 sec of fiddling. An faq isn't a manual.

The finish is not a fine brushed stainless like the images, and is rough heavy brushing that looks like a shop tool. It blends just like a $24 cheapo blender with a bigger motor. the is no blender.

Blendtec's warranty department takes 30 minutes to an hour to open up a warranty claim. It is not sufficient that you have a receipt to start a warranty claims. It seems very suspicious; as if it is done intentionally to discourage people from followi...  Read More

If you try to blend pumpkin the design allows an air pocket to form and it just spins without blending. They need to redesign the blades to self feed what ever you are blending.

Many blendtec advocates claim that the tamper is a major inconvenience of the vitamix. They provide no nutritive qualities and in all likelihood cause harm on a small scale. I doubt they do because of liability concerns as there are too many idiots th...  Read More

Quality


The quality of the blend on smoothies is incredible.


The look and feel of it exudes quality and the big 8 year warranty guarantees it.


Thought i would give the blendtec a try.


In the first month, i had an issue with the blender jar.

Price


I don't remember the price of it, but it wasn't a cheap machine.

Packaging/appearance


I would recommend the designer with the pictures of the smoothy, ice cream, soup, etc.


We tried a ninja, for example, and it couldn't properly blend chia seeds like the blendtec can.

Competitiveness


Did a ton of research and this compares with a vitamix.


From past experience, the results you get with a blendtec outweigh any cons, and you will use it on a regular basis.


It's a great blender but these high-end blenders just are about 3x the cost of what i think they should be.


With minimal---and i mean minimal---reading of the manual, i was able to make a smoothy and clean the jar afterward.

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A very noisy blender but so was our vitamix


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was massively frustrated with my old blender because it was difficult to disassemble around the sharp blades to clean and because the motor had broken twice in a row just outside of the return windows


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There were a lot of scratches and watermarks and even some food remnants on the jar and base


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Amazon sent me another with no issue but i think that supports some of the comments that this is actually a refurbished item and not brand new at this reduced price
