We have been using blendtec pro for almost two years now and made about 1300 smoothies, ice creams, and blended soups. The only concern is noise, but I just plug my ears...
Best Christmas present ever! We have been able to use more of our citrus by making healthy breakfast smoothies. Our mealtimes have been more adventurous as we try new soup recipes. And parties are more fun with blended drinks!
Hubby bought this as a Christmas present after I had broken two blenders in the past year. We make one to two smoothies a day for our family. We love we can just throw chunks of food washed and it is blended into a smooth texture. Wish we had spent the money in this the first time around.
I've had my blender for a few months now. I mainly make smoothies with it but trying to venture out with all the amazing recipes the book has. I also bought the small twister jar and it's helpful for smaller portions and nut butters. Only downside really is how loud it is. Tough to make a smoothie in the morning and not wake up anyone.
The bearings went out on my daily used Four-Sided jar. I called the company and a new one was on its way to me right away. This company stands behind its products....there is no comparison!
Having had it less than a month I have returned it after it burnt the rubber washer whilst running on speed 9. Quite scarey. It ruined my dough that was in the jug. The jug then leaked. Not good!! Prior to that I was loving its versatility but it is very expensive so should be much more robust. Another issue is that the recipe book is written for the US market. If you're asking UK buyers to part with £400 for a blender, the least you should do is offer a British recipe book with britsh measures!
I chastised my husband for buying such an expensive blender, but we use it practically everyday and have gotten our money's worth. We make protein shakes, soups, baby food, as a chopper for nits...really so many uses for it.
