I love my Blendtec. I have been so happy making all kinds of smooth smoothies. Also, I have used it to make gravy slurry- no lumpy gravy here.

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!

I bought a second Blendtec. Why? Because I have two homes. I bought the first one over a year ago and I have used it almost every day. When I would travel to my second home I would pack up my Blendtec and carry it with me. Carting it back and forth got old, so I bought a second one. I love it because it is powerful and I just have to push one button and voila, instant success!

I bought the Blendtec Total Blender with Wild Side Jar and Twister Jar about six weeks ago. I'm new to the blender and super healthy eating worlds so it's been quite a learning curve for me regarding both. It's not exactly "plug and play" as demonstrations suggest. I mostly use the twister jar as I typically make only 1-2 servings and it's easier to clean and dry.
I've had success at making nut cheeses, dips, soups, and smoothies but disappointed with juicing and herb chopping. Celery juicing produces more pulp than juice and chopped herbs are aggravatingly hard to remove from the jar, particularly getting under the blade. So I've taken to chopping herbs in a mini-food processor with removable blade and will likely have to buy an actual juicer if I want smooth juice instead of pulp. That's a lot of appliances on my small countertop but I have to use them all every day so keep them crowded there for easy access.
I was shocked by the ear-splitting noise that often goes on for nearly a minute depending on ingredients but with a motor this powerful, I suppose there's no way to avoid that. It is definitely disruptive to everyone in our small house and prohibitive if someone is sleeping, on the phone, or watching TV. The dog runs and hides outside. I have to warn everyone before I hit the button.
I expect to get more masterful with experience as with any new tool. And I also suspect that no blender processes everything the way you intend, or does so quietly. I tried the VitaMix a few years ago and it was so huge, heavy, and deafeningly loud, I returned it. So, I'm not new to the downsides of top-of-the-line powerful blenders. But as blenders go, I'm satisfied with the design and efficiency of Blendtec with the caveat that the word "Total" is a bit of an overstatement.
