Powerful blender
By Amazon Customer on 9/17/2019 4:38:15 AM
I am very happy with the performance of my blendtec so far. I have been on the fence between this machine and the new vita mix and ultimately chose this because of the sleek styling, powerful motor and the fact that it comes with the smaller twister jar container for about $100 Less than the vita mix model I was looking at. I know how those blenders perform because I was previously narrowing my moms vitamix- this one does the same job but faster. I also don’t seem to have as hard of a time because I can make smaller thick smoothies in the little container. The vita mix had a hard time blending a small amount of frozen fruit with the relatively small amount of liquid ingredients in the large container and this one has no problem. I’ve made fruit smoothies, whole juices, puréed squash soup and enchilada sauce so far with awesome results.
The machine is not too loud and the touch interface is very sensitive and pleasant to use. Most importantly to me, it’s smaller and much nicer looking on my counter. I can’t say it works better than a vitamix but it’s cheaper and seems to do the same job in half the time. I also like the idea of supporting a Utah company. I’d say give Blendtec a try. I’m very happy I did!

Best blender for blenderized diet - edited from 5 to 1 star.
By SgtMjrPlumley on 1/12/2021 1:04:48 AM
My daughter has a gtube and is special needs. 100% of her diet is fed through the gtube. This blender gets it so miniscule that it can go through her gtube. We use it 1 sometimes two times every day and we've had it for about 3 months now going strong.
***Editing to add. This is 2 years later or so. We have had so many problems with this blender, no wonder blendtec discontinued this model. Our motor started smoking and spewing metal dust at 80 blends. Sent it back to blendtec and they sent it back to us “refurbished.” It still did the same thing. They sent us another that was a different color and it took an extra MONTH bc of that. Make that make sense. And y’all, they did not care that my daughter needed it to survive. No expediting, nothing. We had to use a formula that makes her stomach upset and then baby food while we were waiting. Sent that one back in bc IT FAILED AFTER 3 BLENDS. Started doing the same thing. They gave us the Professional 800 with the sound box only after I made a stink about it bc of all the trouble they caused us and the 725 blender had been discontinued. That one even after I complained about the wait and how detrimental that is to our daughter took forever as well!! The jar was lost somewhere (they said in shipping but I checked and it didn’t even get picked up for shipping so it had to have been them). They sent me an expedited jar with an apology and y’all. IT WAS MISSING THE TOP. I had to wait another 3 business days for the top. I’m going to be honest. By the time we received everything for the 800, I had already bought a vitamix. Now let me tell you, no straining needed, it blends everything like a dream. We can batch blend without it overheating, and we can blend for a few minutes without it overheating. Love my vitamix. With the 800, we get chunks constantly. And really the only nice thing about it is the sound box. If you have a tube fed child, or only eat blended food orally, like you need a blender to sustain you, get a vitamix. And also get a back up blender. That has been our savior. That we have two now and a blendjet2. I wouldn’t get a blendtec by their sheer lack of care for their customers and their obvious decline in product reliability and quality.
