"WILL
IT BLEND?" You bet your "Blendtec®"
it will!
As a die-hard
Vita-Mix® owner, demonstrator, retailer and affiliate
marketer, this admission has been slow to come, and
difficult to admit. Fair is fair, though. In my opinion,
Blendtec® has not only taken the titles of "World's Best
Blender" and "Most Valuable Kitchen Tool," they have totally
kicked Vita-Mix's butt in the process.
Not that
Vita-Mix isn't still a fantastic, wonderful unit! If you
have one, there is no need to toss it and get a
Blendtec®—unless you did as we did and wore your Vita-Mix
out. (Not an easy thing to do, by the way! It took us
many years of every day use.) Once you see the
Blendtec® in action, you may want to get one,
but a Vita-Mix will still suffice for most people. Even the
old, original square metal can units with the soup spout are
still some of the best, most effective blenders out there.
But, I
digressed. This review is about how amazing
and effective the Blendtec® is. So amazing that ABCompany
now affiliate markets for Blendtec® as well. Back on point ...
By now you must
have seen some of Blendtec®'s brilliantly clever "Will It
Blend?" viral marketing videos. A couple of
the better ones are embedded at the end of this review for your
entertainment, but this article is not about how well a
blender can grind a jar full of cubic zirconias into dust or
pulverize toilet flush thingies—it is about how well
wholesome, healthy foods can be processed and blended into
forms that will de-light our palates while re-lighting our
health—perfectly and naturally. Here are some of the
brilliant engineering innovations found in the Blendtec®
which help accomplish that:
3 HP, 1,560
watt motors. While Vita-Mix protests that only 2 HP
is needed for a kitchen appliance, that extra power is
very much appreciated!)
"Smart-touch" controls for most blending tasks produces
perfect results while you do other things.
Easy-clean
touch panel (no knobs or switches to wipe around and
under).
Low profile
fits under wall cabinets while assembled.
Unbelievably durable, as demonstrated in "Will It Blend"
videos.
300 mph
blade tip speed pulverizes almost anything.
