My family absolutely loves our new Blendtec, my two year old son grabs my hand every morning and takes me to the kitchen where he then points at the blender and says, "more Mommy". We sure love our daily smoothies :)
Love, Love, LOVE this blender. I enjoy a nicely blended smoothie almost every morning. My favorite feature is the small jar blender. I could not make almond butter with blanched, raw almond in my Ninja. The Blendtec makes it in just minutes and it is the best I have ever had.
I bought this about a month ago and have never been happier.
My wife is 7 months pregnant and we wanted to be sure she took advantage of all nutrients that our food had to offer. We blend green smoothies at least 2 times a day and are pleased with the break down of all the ingredients when blended. Our previous blender would not completely blend the ingredients, particularly the green as it would leave chunks.
Now we are confident that everything we blend becomes bio-available to my wife and the baby.
The only thing negative I might say is that towards the 50th use we received an OVERLOAD/OVERTEMP error message. We shut down and let the machine rest and cool down as per the troubleshooting instructions provided in the manual. Unfortunately this continued on to the next day. Before calling into customer service we let the machine cool for another half hour or so. The issue never came up again, hopefully never again. Thus the 4 stars.
been using for about two months now and i love it! Powerful, easy to clean but would be so nice to add a feature similar to the vitamix wand, i have to stop and mix the contents frequently (depending on what your making). Looks like i will have to invest in buying the twister jar. I've also noticed that it doesnt blend so well in small quantities, everything gets pushed below the blade and it is inconvenient when i just need a small batch. Other than that i couldnt be happier with this product!
