I've only had it for a month and it has blended most things beautifully. It had a hard time while trying to puree my Hummus but the smoothies have all been super easy
I've been wanting this blender since I worked at Starbucks in 2005 and used them daily there. It could blend rock into dust! (this is an assumption and maybe a wee bit of an exaggeration) I love that there are no ice chunks when you blend and I love the look of it on my counter (not too tall to fit under the cabinets). The only thing I don't care for is that it is extremely loud, but I guess when you have that much power at your fingertips somethings gotta give. Sorry neighbors in the next apartment.
Did a lot of research before I bought ....Love it ..glad I chose Blendtec ...make a green smooth every morning and this blender has cut my prep time to nil (used to cut everything up in small chunks) ...even made some hot soup ...excellent!!! :) Very happy .Expecting ii to be noisy ..was pleasantly surprised ..I think it is quieter than my old blender.
I bought this a month ago and have used it manay, many times. My Vitamix was good but this is great! The only problem I had was putting too much soap to clean it. I ended up cleaning my counter too. Other than that it has turned into my pride and joy.
Got this beauty a few months ago and its quickly become one of my most prized possessions! I honestly could not go back to living without it. It gets used a few times a day to make smoothies and juices and so far I have not had any problems at all. I've even used the included Twister Jar to make some banana nicecream. Easy to use, and compact. It also looks quite professional with minimalistic styling. Straight out of a juice bar and into your kitchen! I will warn however that this thing is LOUD! But hey, its got a 3 Horsepower motor! So what are you gonna do about it? All that fruit crushing, ice slaying power has to come with some compromises. I wear gun range ear muffs when I use it so that my hands are free to hold the lid down. (not that you need to, but I use mostly tough chunks of frozen fruit and I like to have a handle on it) Other than that I absolutely LOVE IT! I would recommend it to anyone. Thanks Blendtec! This thing has changed my life!
