I bought this about a month ago. Before this I was using a Nutri-Bullet. There is no comparison. I love the blendtec. I use it for making juices/smoothies.
I brought this three weeks ago and have used it every day. I throw my ingredients in the blended and walk away when I return I pour,my drink in a glass and head out the door. Fabulous!
I went to Bed, Bath, Beyond in search of a Ninja that a friend had recommended - my decision was already made before I walked in. The associate (based on his personal love fr the product) persuaded me to get the Blendtec instead, and we have never looked back. This thing is a beast - SO powerful, easy to clean, and we love the counter feature that tells us how many smoothies we've made. A fantastic product ♥
Love that it has nothing sticking out therefore easy to clean. To save time, water washing more equipment etc, I like to drink from the jar itself, I wish that they made a jar that easy for that purpose like a practical but inferior product the magic bullet. Overall love it and most important use it all the time.
My husband got this for me as a ten year anniversary gift and I have been using it every day since. It really is an amazing blender - although it feels inferior to call it just a "blender." My husband used to work at Bed Bath & Beyond and he learned all about this brand vs. the Vitamix brand and he felt that Blendtec was superior. I love it! I have mainly made smoothies, but also soup and a marinade. I can't say enough good things.
Love it! It blends so well. There are no bits of fruit or vegetables after blending. The soup feature heats it!! I made a delicious soup that had a creamy texture without milk or cream. My kids get more fruits and veggies in their smoothies.
