We got ours at Costco. It has been fabulous, and even better than we saw on ads and youtube. Saw it on youtubers Carl&Jingers channelwh e n they toured the Blendtech factory. They used to be Phamdamily or Olinselot....give them credit for educating us about your prosuct.
I have owned a lot of different name blenders in my life but by far this one is the best and hopefully the last one I will own. It exceeds all of my expectations. The price is high but well worth it. Would recommend to anyone. Best price is Sam's Club.
After extensive research - I mean if I was going to spend top dollar for a blender, I figured I should check out the competition - I decided on the Blendtec Wildside. I concluded that messing with the Vitamix's required tamper was a no-go for me. I had tried a Ninja, and all it did was pulverize the ingredients into a coarse slurry. Plus the Ninja is a hassle to clean - you have to remove its very sharp set of blades everytime. So with much anticipation, I made my first smoothie with the Blendtec, making sure I added any liquid ingredients and yogurt first. Its two simple blades, five sided container, automatic multi-speed motor, and self-timer turned out a Jamba Juice quality smoothie - creamy and silky smooth. Cleaning it takes less than a minute. After 50 plus smoothies of various types, the Blendtec is a real winner!
This is an awesome blender! My previous blender was a fairly basic model (other brand) but almost not in the same category. The Blendtec is really versitile, well made and well thought out. I couldn't be happier with my Blendtec, the on-line suggestions and recipes. Thank you Team Blendtec!
