Blendtec Total Blender 2.6L 1500-Watts Countertop Blender - Black

Your body uses a lot of energy to break down food. This machine will help your digestive system process foods more efficiently. If you're a juicer, like me, you'll notice some leafy greens don't juice well. Kale and parsley are good examples of incredible super foods that are completely drinkable via this Blendtech. It does what a juicer can't. It also makes hot soup. This machine is powerful! I wish I had this blender for my Dad in his last days, as a senior. Just throw in all your nutritious ingredients in there and you have hot soup (in a few minutes) for a guy that is just too old to cook for himself. 1 touch push button. Totally brainless to use.

Amazing deal with black Friday, and I got it last year around same price for same deal, I have had this over 1 year, and it works wonderfully. I wish I bought it earlier. Better then vitamix in my opinion,look at research vitamix had to pay 24 MILLION to blendtec for copying them. Both are good but blendtec = #1 Makes your life SO MUCH easier. No more chopping up for smoothies, I find even push smoothie button for about stop around 20 second mark makes amazing smoothies. You won't regret it.

I purchased this blender 10 days ago and have only used the "ice cream" and "smoothie" programs and the pulse for cleaning. Towards the end of these programs it has frequently overheated and stopped working. I had to wait several minutes for it to cool-down so I could complete the blending. The display shows this blender has been used 54 times so far, but several of these include finishing a program that stopped due to overheating and using brief pulses while cleaning the jar after making a smoothie or ice cream.

It's the discontinued, older line of Blendtec's products but that doesn't make them any less powerful. I've had a nutribullet and Ninja Professional, neither have done well in making a chunk-free smoothie or have stood to the test of time. The power of this device blows me away. The only con is that it sounds as loud as a lawn mower when you turn it on. The 8-year warranty is a plus--the cheap blenders have broken on me many times after a year or two of daily use. I am hoping this one will last.

A big upgrade over the Vitamix blender that I used for many years. The Blendtec is effortless and fun to use, and it works flawlessly. The pre-programmed blend cycles have revolutionized making smoothies and raw blends for me -- I can take my hands off the machine and let the Blendtec do the work. It easily blends even the toughest ingredients. Most importantly, the smoothies and raw juice blends are smooth and delicious.
