My husband gifted me this amazing blender June of 2011 and honestly, this is one of my most favorite small appliances. I use it every day, mostly for smoothies, but have enjoyed making ice cream and soup with it too! My Blendtec is powerful, gets the job done and is super simple to clean.
I love this Blendtec! I make smoothies and hummus in it. I love how you can wipe the buttons clean of spills. The pitcher is also easy to clean. The "pulse" button is an great feature for breaking up big chunks. Helps me to get my kids to eat veggies!
I cannot think of one thing our Blendtec has not been able to blend smoothly. The large Wildside container is wonderful for making large batches of smoothies, pancake batter, brownies, etc. It is stable, does not move around like a vitamix - and who needs a tamper? The Blendtec even cleans itself easily!
I first saw this at Costco with my mom and she immediately wanted it. I decided to get it for her as an early Xmas present. We have only used this machine to make ice cream and it worked well. The ingredients didn't really go down--stick to the lower part of the blending jar---like Blendtec advertises and once the ice cream piled up at the bottom below the blade it was hard to blend the upper ice and fruit. I hope this issue only happens with the wild side jar. I may get the square jar and decide to use the blender for other things once the holiday hustle has passed. This is a durable product so I'll give it four stars.
I bought this blender so I can make junk food healthy with healthier ingredients. Cookies and cakes at the store are mostly sugar, flour and butter, which is kind of gross.
This product just as advertised, all the functions are self explanatory. I use it daily for juicing, and very undecided about spending this kind of money a blender. Well, I tell you what, I'm glad I made the purchase. This blender can do it all, and it is well designed and put together; not a cheap looking blender. This blender is great for any occasions, such as hosting party's and making drinks or smoothies, or adding it to your daily nutrition of juicing and getting all your nutrients. This blender is quick and easy to use for on the go people. I can go on and on about how good it has been for me. I would recommend the total blender classic to anyone. This blender has commercial durability, and the eight year warranty is what sold me on this blender. If you follow the usage guide you will never have a problem. So far a great investment.!
