One of the jokes of gadgets for the kitchen is they end up stored away are rarely used. I use my blender regularly to make frothy hot chocolates and fruit smoothies. The only downside is I wish it came with directions on how to remove the blades, as with that confidence I could see my self trying one or more of the attachments. However, with arthritis in my hands I don't feel confident that I could swap out the blades for another attachment like the dough hooks. Also it isn't practical for me to make soup with as I would have to warm the stock up anyway so it would be just as easy for me then to keep it on the stove.
I bought this Blender one month ago, and so glad I did. My Green Drink - water, an orange, spinach, frozen banana, and some frozen mixed fruit - is to die for. My Hummus - easy to make and delicious. Did I mention, it fits on kitchen counter under the cabinets with room to spare, and it's a snap to clean. The Wildside+ Jar is great.
Great lblender but for thicker blends, a tamper would be nice. I have to shake the blender if the ingredients are thick. I have the blender resting on a thick mouse pad allowing me to easily shake the container.
My dad's Blendtec has over 5,000 blends. So what do I Do? Throw away my Vitamix and jump on the Blendtec train. Had a little bit of an issue though.....very strong blender. Make sure the lid is on all the way. Enjoy the video!
I love that I can make my green juice and it is so smooth and there are no chunks in it, but what I love the most is how easy is to clean my blendtec. I am so happy with my purchase!
Love, love, love my Blendtec! I purchased about 6 months ago and finally used it 2 months ago. Fantastic for green smoothies and I look forward to using it to make nut butters, soups, dips etc.
