Got this specifically to make kale/spinach smoothies, which can be challenging. I works great, very smooth, no grit or small pieces. Not much else to say. Worth the price.
I haven't had it too long, but so far it's great. If it holds up, it will be worth the money. It can easily power through anything you throw at it; it never gets bogged down.
So far, I’ve had a great experience using blendtech. I’ve been using it for the last couple of months and hopefully will remain the same great product. I gave 4 starts because I’m waiting to see if it continues to work great. Will update accordingly. The only downside, it does not make nut butter well without adding an emulsifier like oil.
I've always hated how you have to take most blenders apart. This one cleans in one piece and even the base is easily cleaned off. It's the most powerful and effective blender I can imagine and I've got it running every morning. Flawless!!
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.
