I have been using my regular Blendtec jar for several years and finally got the twister. I will be using that the most, now. It is perfect for smoothies and making cashew cream.
We had one of the square blender jars and decided to try something new. We are really happy we did. When we use ice in our drink, the ice doesn't affect the plastic. It has stayed new and clean like the day we bought it. Our smoothies whip up like milk shakes. We are looking to get another one. We have also made peanut butter and don't need to add any oil. The same with Almond Butter.
I bought my twister jar last month. It has been working great for making hummus and almond butters. When I make the smoothies, the fruits are not well processed as with the regular jar. I am very pleased with my blendtec. Maybe my expectations went too high.
I purchased my twister jar a couple weeks ago and I love it! Immediately, I made the chocolate nut butter recipe and it was delicious! Not only was it good, but it finished completely blending it into a nut butter before the recommended time period in the recipe. Thanks Blendtec for making awesome products that blend like a maniac!
I have always wanted to get the twister jar, the bigger jar is so hard for small things like nut butters, or small batches. I love how quickly it grinds up almonds for the perfect nut butter. I made cashew sour cream, and it turned out beautifully. I would highly recommend this for your small batch items.
I have a wild side jar that is amazing for smoothies, soups etc but could do small quantities of chutneys or nut butters at all. Bought the twister jar and it works like a dream!
