I purchased this blender new 14 years ago, and it is still going strong. Yes, it is loud, but I have gotten used to it over the years. The preset programs are incredibly convenient and take the guesswork out of how long to blend. I use it for everything from milling grain and grinding coffee to smoothies, soups, dips, spreads, and juices. Hands down, it is the best kitchen appliance purchase I have ever made.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you so much for the positive review. We are happy to hear that you have had the blender for 14 years and it is still going strong.
In fairness I purchased mine refurbished. It lasted six years. As the title suggests, I have no complaints while it worked. It’s just stopped working after almost six years.
I grew up having a Blendtec blender in the house, and my mom still has the very same blender with thouands of uses on it. However, after just 250 uses, the motor in my relatively new total blender classic has suddenly burnt up. This is not the quality I have come to expect from Blendtec, and leaves me profoundly dissapointed that my faith was misplaced. This unit was supposed to last me the next decade, and given the high price tag, it should have. Purchase at your own risk.
I bought my blender over 15 years ago! Absolutely have not been disappointed! Lately I started buying hard winter wheat for flour and was so pleased to find grinding instructions in the cookbook! It continues to amaze me how well this blender works after all these years!
What a well-built appliance! Over 6600 blends! I thought I was finally going to have to replace it as some of the buttons were not working. I decided to open it up (very easy to service). I re-seated the connection from the buttons to the circuit board and it's working fine again!
