Blenders<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tom Dickson created Blendtec in the 1960s, when it invented the wheat mill. In the past his innovation was to increase the speed and efficiency at which flours were grinding twice as much as other heavy-duty appliances were. In the 1990s Dickson had designed and built an integrated blending tool for blending into his creative ideas. In 2006 Blendtec was the name that was quickly embraced in Tom&#8217;s famous video \u201cWill it blend? The two placed several household and outdoor items into a blender to evaluate the durability of the blender&#8217;s pitcher motor and blade. The company was immediately successful and sales reached a huge 700% rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_should_you_buy_a_Blendtec_Blender\"><\/span>Why should you buy a Blendtec Blender?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blendtec blender will give the elegant and high-performance blender a new look.. Although expensive, Blendtec blenders will deliver excellent performances and long-term performance. Strong pitchers and stainless steel wheels ensure long-lasting use over time. Although most of us have had some kind of experience with blenders in our lives, if this is the first time that you buy one then you will definitely have a blender. They have an intuitive touchscreen interface with pre-programmed settings and fixed times of blend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blendtec_Blender_Review\"><\/span>Blendtec Blender Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us review! I will examine each and every blender from Blendtec and add other alternatives that can help you discover them. After reading the review, the advice may be helpful. It&#8217;s not a problem when a Blendtec blender is expensive. Blendtec Professional 800 is an easy choice. Blendtec blenders feature a wide range of noise-reducing features, mixing power and presets. Blendtec Professional800&#8230; The back has an intuitive touch slider allowing quick access to 11 speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blendtec_Classic_575\"><\/span>Blendtec Classic 575<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This covers Blendtec&#8217;s Classic Series. The blender has power ranging from 1300 to 1600 Watts. The blenders are in low-end markets and therefore lack advanced functions like a capacitive slider control. The blender is easily operated but uses the controls of the buttons on the buttons instead. Have a look around this place! Importantly though, you will get the same high-quality blender performance build and warranty that is standard. In simple terms, the Classic series will help you in your everyday home and need to use high-quality kitchen equipment at low prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blendtec_Designer_Series\"><\/span>Blendtec Designer Series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blendtec midrange blender products have a Designer model portfolio. It packs some power (about 1725 Watt or 2.2 peak horsepower), so it also offers an even higher speed along with the trademark Blendtec power. You could tackle practically every mixing job and be able to do it a little more quickly. The blender offers a lot more preprogrammed setting options than standard models, thus making life much more enjoyable. Simply choose a setting and let Designer Blenders run their preprogrammed cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blendtec_Professional_Series\"><\/span>Blendtec Professional Series<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your blender is in the Blendtec Professional line you are on the highest level. This model is for people that really love home blends. It will cost more, but these blenders are the most expensive appliances that money can buy. A significant improvement in blenders is Blendtec&#8217;s Stealth Technology. It decreases noise from the blender significantly, making it more conversationally friendly. No, you&#8217;re not gonna wake everyone up with breakfast smoothies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Blendtec_models_are_available\"><\/span>What Blendtec models are available?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blendtec&#8217;s Blendtec blender is classified into 3 separate categories to cater to different parts in the blender market. There is no ideal blender in itself but the aim of this Guide is to give you advice on finding the right blender to fit your lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tell_me_the_type_of_jar_you_need\"><\/span>Tell me the type of jar you need?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blendtec comes in three different jars. This is what everyone wants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Twister_Jar\"><\/span>Twister Jar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Blendtec Twister Jars are intended to blend thick recipes. Consider baby food or humus or peanut milk. Sticky material that needs work before blitzing.. The Twister Jar can hold 37 pounds and clear measuring lines reach 16ounces. These can be found in all Blendtec standard blender jars. Check out this Blendtec Jarguide to learn the complete range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wildside_Jar\"><\/span>Wildside Jar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Wild side jar has 91 ounces which is sufficient for almost all home cooking conditions. This name is derived through the additional fifth side in the Jar. During these modifications, the blender creates an internal vortex that draws the ingredients into the center of the jar. It ends up with a much more uniform mixture, which mixes all ingredients very accurately. Since it can hold large volumes, you should consider storage and countertop space before choosing WildSide machines. The whole assembly must be permanently sat in the display or you need unused space for the container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_about_Blades\"><\/span>What about Blades?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blendtec Blades have a strong construction using cold forged steel. This durability is largely what gives BBTC a wide warranty on their entire blender line. This knife is interesting because it does not have sharp edges. These chemicals are intentionally dried out for the better capability to pulverize hard materials.

Most of these blenders have 10 speed manual control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next are the Next Gen G- Series and the Explorian Series which are slightly advanced compared to the Classic Series. Then comes the Vitamix Professional Series which introduces the preset programs for automatic blending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the Vitamix Venturist and the Ascent Smart Series are the most advanced Vitamix models of all.

But as I always say, I saw anyone who has ever bought a Vitamix and regretted it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is nothing you will through at Vitamix and it will not blend. The super strong aircraft-grade smasher blades will crush the hell out of any ingredients you put into them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamix_Containers\"><\/span>Vitamix Containers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamix has a variety of containers. There are tall, short, high capacity, low capacity, full size, low profile, classic, smart,bpa free plastic, steel, etc. containers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each container has its own compatibility. The Ascent and Venturist can take smart SELF-DETECT containers only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your blending journey, you might need to get a new blender. Either to replace your existing one. Or an extra blender for additional usability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would also want to know which Vitamix containers and motor bases are interchangeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have listed all the containers you can get for Vitamix and listed all the blender bases they can go with. Have a look to make your blending more convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamix has separately launched a unique container for grinding dry nuts and seeds, the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/comparison\/vitamix-dry-vs-wet-container\/\">Dry\/Gr<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/vitamix-dry-vs-wet-container\/\">i<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/comparison\/vitamix-dry-vs-wet-container\/\">nd Container<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This container has a blade assembly specially designed to powder dry ingredients rather than butter them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Vitamix manufactures Stainless steel containers. Unlike plastic containers, these steel pitchers do not absorb odor or stains. These jars are easy to clean and work perfectly for hotter mixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wattage\"><\/span>Wattage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vitamix blenders are high-powered. The lowest <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/blendersguide.com\/blender-wattage\/\">wattage <\/a>of the Vitamix (Immersion) blender is 625 watts. Most of the Vitamix blenders have a 1500W (2.0HP) motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highest-powered blender by Vitamix is the commercial blender with an immense 3000W motor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamix_Blade_assembly\"><\/span>Vitamix Blade assembly<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The blades of Vitamix are laser cut, cross-shaped, and made of stainless steel. Vitamix manufactures these blender blades blunt on purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They work kind of like smashers and do not require sharpening. These dull blades do not cut through the ingredients but tear them apart at high speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamix owns two designs, wet blades and dry blades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The wet assembly creates a vortex, pulling items downwards to compress the ingredients at the bottom of the jar. It works best for liquid mixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dry assembly blast dry items above the blades, great for powdering dry seeds, grains, or nuts into flour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Blades at the bottom of the blender jar allow you to use a tamper with the Vitamix to mix ingredients such as meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_Features\"><\/span>Smart Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamix takes the lead with advanced traits like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Smart capacitive touch screen LED display<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Container sensors (SELF DETECT)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Self cleaning with pre programmed cycles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mobile App (Vitamix Perfect Blend)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>SELF-DETECT is the quality of the Ascent series to sense a valid pitcher before turning on the blender.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_can_you_blend_in_blendtec_and_vitamix\"><\/span>What can you blend in blendtec and vitamix?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dough, nut butter, salsa, hummus, hot soups, ice cream, whole juice, vinaigrettes, and of course, smoothies. In short, high-end blenders simplify a ton of recipes that typically require a lot of time and of trial and error. Using a nice blender as just a smoothie or alcoholic slushy maker is just disrespectful at this point. These devices can do so much more such as making nut butters, smoothies, puree food, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Blendtec_vs_Vitamix_Ice_Frozen_Drinks_Test\"><\/span>Blendtec vs Vitamix Ice\/ Frozen Drinks Test<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Blending ice cubes is about as noisy as you can get with a blender, and in our tests the Vitamix hovered around 93 decibels, while the Blendtec ranged between 90 and 106 decibels max during its blending cycles. But the real difference is in the pitch: We prefer the Vitamix\u2019s low-level hum over the Blendtec\u2019s high-pitched squeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamix_vs_Blendtec_Soups_Test\"><\/span>Vitamix vs Blendtec Soups Test?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to blending hot soup (rather than making hot soup from cold\/room temperature ingredients), the nuanced speeds of Vitamix trump the wild power of Blendtec. Blending hot soup is a potentially perilous task no matter which blender you use. If the motor starts out at a high speed, the combination of steam, heat, and whirring blades can send a geyser of hot liquid out the top of the container. Vitamix is equipped with speeds low enough to guarantee that all ingredients stay inside the blender container. Blendtec, on the other hand, is so forceful that it flings all the ingredients up the sides of the container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vitamix_and_blendtec_blenders_Ice_cream_Test\"><\/span>Vitamix and blendtec blenders Ice cream Test?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamix has a dedicated Frozen Dessert preset function for ice cream. We added 4 cups of ice along with milk, cream, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder to the Vitamix and started blending. The ice quickly crushed and started to freeze up on the jar sides, so we used the tamper to push everything back down into the blades. After only one minute, we had thick soft-serve chocolate ice cream. The ice cream had very small ice crystals so it was smooth instead of &#8220;crunchy,&#8221; and held its shape nicely. Blendtec blenders Frozen Dessert function works similar to Vitamix, starting to blend at a slow speed and then cranking up the power to crush ice. At first, Blendtec was doing great, but after only 20 or 30 seconds, the ice cream started to freeze on the sides of the jar and no longer blend. We had to stop and push the frozen ice cream back into the blade to continue blending.
