Blendtec Beats The Rest
Blendtec Total Blender, Four-sided- Purchased 2/16/12 from BLENDTEC.com
After making a search of several sources from which to purchase this blender, I decided to order from the Blendtec company. For guarantee, warranty purposes, or product questions, I felt more assurred to order from them. Their price wasn't that much different from other sources anyway. My niece and my daughter preceeded me in the purchase of this blender. (We all had watched the FAT, SICK, AND NEARLY DEAD documentary as seen on Netflix.)
Now that I have one, I can say with the rest of my family, we are undeniably happy with this great machine. It has not failed to blend anything we've put into it, liquifying almost everything except an occasional frozen banana which apparently goes undercover in the mix. It's operation and clean up is easy which is the KEY factor in our daily use of it in addition to the fact that it will perform per its claims.
We have made almond milk, pecan butter, oat...
When the pitcher "wears" out every 2 years, you pay another $100+.
We've had our blender for nearly 5 years, but won't be patronizing K-TEC anymore. The pitcher has a gear fitting on the bottom that tends to wear out every 2 years. They blamed us the first time because we had put the pitcher in the dish washer a couple of times. Thinking they were an honest business, we coughed up the $100 to have them ship a new pitcher. Around 2 years later, the exact same problem started happening. This time they admitted that their pitchers only last about 2 years with regular use.
Here are the symptoms:
* Grey powder between the pitcher and the base. That's powder from the metal shaft in the pitcher grinding up.
* Sharp grinding noise at the beginning right before the blades really spin.
Eventually the shaft fitting wears down completely and won't work anymore, requiring you to spend another $100 or more (as prices rise) every other year for a new pitcher.
Personally, I find this to be a total rip-off when old blenders...
awesome, love it!
This thing is great! I previously had a typical kitchen blender, but had the priviledge of using a friend's Vita-mix for a few weeks...I thought it would be exactly the same, but it isn't...in a good way. There is a slight learning curve, but not much. The good differences are: ease of cleaning, for sure! Size! Also, it has pre-programmed cycles, AS WELL AS a pulse up and pulse down button so that one can manually blend. The only thing I have not figured out is why it tells me digitally how many cycles it has run? Anyone know offhand?
I highly recommend this! Loving the fresh veggie smoothies that are SOOOO SMOOTH.
