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.

I've used it for everything! Smoothies, cake batter, hummus, turning grains and seeds into flour, almond milk, soup, etc. It's been excellent for the last 4 1/2 years. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is because my motor is starting to sound a bit high pitched, if that makes any sense. Other than that concern, I love my Blendtec

Did extensive research on the top blenders and decided that with the extras offered through Costco, this was the way to go.
Couldn't be happier. The results are as excellent as one would expect. Further my husband who isn't a big veggie eater loves the smoothie's.
The noise is not bad and I have it on a shelve liner. And, it fits under my 1973 (i.e. low) built cabinets.

Blender is very well built. Design is thoughtful and materials used are very high quality. Worth the high price. Would love to have smoothie jars if Blendtec sells it. There were minor issues though like the edges of the rubber jar cover will rubbed and bruised a little right out of the box. The underneath has some plastic/ bruised on one of its leg out of the box but it doesn't affect the functionality. So I never returned/exchanged it. I got it from Costco.

This is my first real high powered blender and was a bit skeptical that it would work as good as they claim. I was interested in making my own nut milks and hummus, along with many other things as I went along. The milks and hummus come out beautiful and I'm well pleased at the performance. I have also made nut dressings and they came out perfect. I would highly recommend this powerhouse of a blender.
