I was given this blender as a gift this past Christmas. I've been doing my research for some time and decided that Blendtec was the brand for me. Before this I'd had a vintage Oster blender that worked surprisingly well for it's age and how often I used it.
I've been using my Blendtec blender for daily green smoothies, and they're the smoothest they've ever been. I also used it to make avocado margaritas, and was astounded when the ice crushed down to a fine snow-like consistency. I used the smaller jar for making some cashew cream with turned out fantastic! This blender really performs. The only cons are that it is startlingly loud - my cat who is usually unphased by other kitchen appliances flees the room every morning. The "Smoothie" mode button just keeps ramping up the speed until the 12 ounce smoothie is all over the jar walls and lid base, so I feel like I'm making a bigger mess than necessary. I'm also used to the locking base on many blenders, which I was surprised this one did not have.
Overall I'm really happy with this blender - it's super versatile and I can tell it will last for years to come!

Bought this from costco.com, with the Wildside and Twister jars; it showed up Christmas Eve 2015. My doctor had told me I needed to bring my blood pressure down, so I looked into what people do to achieve that. Healthy food. And exercise.
I figured I could take on ONE of those things without breaking a sweat, and, after reading about the joys of smoothies, I headed to Walmart to buy a blender (cuz, a blender is pretty much a blender, right? Er, nope.) I bought a martial-arts-themed brand, because it was more expensive than the $20-40 cheapies, and only the best for MY mother's son, amirite?
It wasn't long before I started reading more about this stuff, and realized the limitations in my blender. I read countless reviews and watched countless videos of countless blenders, and, like most people who get into this stuff, my search was narrowed down to 2 brands (YOU know who you are, other brand!)
I really couldn't decide based on the reviews, but the 8 year warranty, the dull-bladed blunt-force-trauma approach, and Costco's $350 price tag put me over the top on Blendtec. Roughly 100 blends later (after 45 days of ownership), and you'll find zero buyer's remorse from me!
I feel SO much better having switched to the easy-to-prepare fresh-fruits-and-veggies diet this appliance has afforded me (from a diet consisting mainly of a large pizza lasting me a couple of days, prior to this), and the NUT BUTTER!! Oh, man. The nut butter. Just put your favorite nuts in the Twister jar, rotate the top counter-clockwise when butterizating, and in about a minute, you get the best nut butter you've ever had the pleasure of eating.
I could go on and on (just ask my friends and relatives!), but suffice to say, this is probably the best $350 I've spent on anything food related, not being a gifted cook or anything (just ask my friends and relatives!).
Do yourself a favor, and just buy one already.

I bought this almost 2 months ago and have loved it! WE've used it for a variety of things, but mostly for breakfast smoothies. It blends everything to perfection. Sometimes it gets air pockets, but once you push the stuff back down, it's fine. I've even used it to make some dough for breadsticks, as well as grinding my own wheat for bread!

Love it! So happy I picked blended over other models after a friend recommended.

We have this machine at work and I desperately wanted one for my home. I use it for smoothies at work but had no idea how versatile it was until I received it and read the book. Now I use it all the time! It still makes amazing smoothies but now I can do so much more! Just a warning though, it's a very loud machine. Too loud to use at home when my family is sleeping.

I use it every day, the best! No sharp blades like my ex-girlfriend's Vitamix, you won't slice up your fingers during clean-up.
