Frankly, this is pretty expensive for a blender. But...dang if it isn't quiet and powerful!. We bought our first blendtec from Costco about 15 years ago and used it daily. Powerful and LOUD! Finally time to buy another (although the first still runs fine). Sprung for the extra as our nerves aren't as flexible before coffee as they once were. Fabulous buy (did I mention it's kind of expensive for a blender? Still, if factored over 15 years I guess it's a pretty good investment). Happy with the purchase now going on two months.

If this thing has any faults In haven't found them

Years ago I began my search for the best blender/pulverizer/mixer on the market to make green smoothies among other uses like grinding flax for example. After many hours and weeks of searching I decided on an entry level Blendetc. After over 13 years, 3000 smoothies, and grinding a bunch of other stuff, I decided to do my ears a favor and step up to the Pro 800. I can honestly say that when it comes to the brand name there is nothing that compares to the Blendtec, and when it comes to the Blendtec nothing compares to the Pro 800. I will add that the Designer 725 also has the 3.8hp and if you want to save a couple hundred but noise is the issue the Designer 725 is a bit quieter then models with the 3.0 hp motor, even without the cover. That being said I would not have paid $1,100 but for $800 this machine is worth every penny and then some.
I had a Blendtec blender that I used twice a day for several years and developed tinnitus over time. So I bought this blender which is a lot quieter. I still leave the room when the blender is operating and wear ear protection because I don’t want my tinnitus to get any worse. One nice thing about this blender is the top is held down by the plastic enclosure so the top can’t pop off while in operation.
This was to replace my previous Blendtec, which I've had for over 15 years. It was starting to show signs of wear and I decided to purchase another before it just wasn't there one morning. I make a robust shake every morning, and try to eat plant based (I slip a lot); and I make dressing with cashews, recipes with dates, etc., and my blentec has never failed me. This new quiet blender is awesome. I often say to my husband when I hand him his shake: "I LOVE my new blender!' To me it was worth the investment and I'm glad I made the choice I made. Thank you! PS. It's impressive looking just sitting on the shelf!
My second Blendtec and I couldn’t be happier that I went with the best. I had a designer series from maybe 8 yrs ago and decided to upgrade and give the old one to a friend. The difference is sound level that the pro is able to achieve is amazing.
