 Professional BlenderNov 14, 2005
By Eric Scott
The Blendtec is a professional product, made to work, and it does. The power is great; the blades are very strong and take chopping ice everyday as does the motor. We are constantly making smoothies. The cycles programmed in can do a lot of "smoothing without thinking."
It's true, the documentation that comes with it is sparse, but if you feel it's necessary, find a book on blending, on Amazon. You cant judge a professional tool by a recipe book, they expect you to know how to use a blender.
I used to go through blenders in about three months, even the very high priced Braun went in less than 6 months (it cost a grand). My first Blendtec is now 2 years old, and all I had to replace is the jar. I now have a second, and won't buy another brand blender anymore.

This blender is great and the service is fantastic!Dec 20, 2006
By C. Chapman
I've never written a review before, so you know that I must really like this product to take the time to do so. I've owned this blender for almost a year and we absolutely love it. Yes.. it is quite loud at the higher speeds, but come on... it has a 3 hp motor. What would your 4 hp lawn mower sound like in your kitchen? I think the the volume is reasonable considering the raw power of the machine.
Performance: Green smoothies are perfect (try one if you haven't... they're great!). Not even a bit of kale in sight. Occasionally, a piece of frozen fruit ends up as a "lump" in your glass, but otherwise, the blender evenly blends almost anything. (Check out their website.. they have some hilarious videos blending things like rakes, coke cans, marbles, etc.)
Service: When we first got the blender, I made a smoothie and I put in an avocado (a bit under ripe) and didn't cut it up... just two halves. Somehow it lodged on the blade and was beat around the inside of the jar. Afterward, the jar had a hazy spot at blade level on all four sides. So, I called Blendtec. Bottom line, I got the jar replaced and an extra jar for my trouble. All without any phone delays and with fedex next day shipping.. Wow!
Bottom line: The vitamix is also a good machine, but in my humble opinion, the Blendtec has the complete package. It you're on the fence, go with your instinct and if you choose the Total Blender, you won't be disappointed!

The Total Blender is the best!Feb 09, 2006
By Zinaida Mazyuk
[...]Their friendly service and blender comparison chart won me over. This blender has been a blessing. I make my own nut milks, soups, smoothies and even nut butters. It is a little loud but not as loud as my Vitamix blender. I use my Total Blender almost everyday and my kids are begriming to use it. It's really easy and fast to clean and is very durable and powerful. I just can't live without it. Highly recommended. :-)

 Great product, but needs a tamperJul 13, 2006
By Joan D. Levin
"readerfromchicago"
I have had the Total Blender (in white) for several months, and I also have the Vita Mix 5000. I find I use the Total Blender almost exclusively. It is lighter, a lot easier for me to handle, and the programmed cycles work well for me. The motor is truly powerful. I would definitely give it five stars, but for the absence of a tamper. The company says it does not need a tamper because of the design of the container, but for the things I make with raw, leafy greens, etc., it definitely needs one, in my opinion. It would be relatively easy for the company to offer a tamper -- just as Vita Mix does -- and I don't understand why they don't do so, perhaps as an extra accessory. It would be lots easier than having to repeatedly stop the motor and remove the cover to push food down towards the blade. Otherwise this is a great product. Another note: If you are a raw food person, don't rely on the recipe book provided for much help. However, whatever works in the Vita Mix works well here.

Holy smokesApr 01, 2006
By Timothy W. Williams
I gotta tell you, this was one of those purchases that I both loved and hated. I loved the idea of it, but hated the idea of my wife telling me that I'd spent a fortune on just-another-blender. I was so convinced, I told her about the Ice Gaurantee and told her if it didn't pass, I'd send it back myself. Still, I worried about it being only mildly better than the old blender.
Well, it arrived and Holy Smokes, this thing is amazing. It truly does turn ice into snow. More importantly, guys, it won't make you look stupid for buying yet-another-overpriced-toy. 3->P->2->S for the perfect smoothy is all I've got to say. Tired of you ingredients sticking to the side? Tired of eating chunks of ingredients? Tired of having to stop mid-way through a blending cycle to shake or push the ingredients down? Buy this thing, it won't make a fool out of you - it's good, really good. It'll display a significant difference between your run-of-the-mill Hamilton Beach or whatever crappy blender you currently have - trust me. It's good, really good.
