BlendtecTotal Classic Original Blender and 75 oz FourSide Blender Jar - Kitchen Blender Bundle - Red

I must give you a little bit of history before reviewing the Blendtec . . .Our local Costco was having a Vita-Mix road show and i bought it knowing that I really liked everything I had ever read about a Blendtec. A couple of my friends raved about the Vita-Mix, so I felt I needed to pay a little attention. A large purchase like this deserved a little research so that I wouldn't have any regrets. I watched the demo, was impressed and took home the Vita-Mix that day. I was anxious to make a smoothie with it because I had been using the Magic Bullet for five months. I made my first smoothie with it, and it turned out great but the "honeymon" didn't last very long. I did not like the sheer size of the Vita-Mix! It sat VERY high on my counter, wouldn't fit under the cabinet and it looked like it belonged in a commercial-sized kitchen, not mine. I absolutely disliked everything about the lid, except the ability to drizzle liquids in from the opening. The lid was not easy to put on nor remove. And the tamper!!! A good machine should not require a tamper to push the food around. The blender canister has these decorative grooves on the sides and oh what difficulty to "get every last bit out" with a a rubber scraper. I felt like I was wasting food! Then, I made a vegetable pate and the 4-pronged blade made it extremely difficult to get the food hiding below the blade. By this time, I had had enough and was only too happy to take it back to Costco.That same night, I ordered my Blendtec. It arrived promptly and have LOVED everything about it since Day One! It is so-o-o-o easy to "get every last bit out" because the sides of the blender doesn't have the unnecessary decorative grooves on the side. It makes a big difference if you're the type that doesn't like to waste. I feel that the Vita-Mix and Blendtec are equally noisy, but it does its job so quickly and efficiently that it really isn't on for very long. It is so efficient and powerful that it doesn't need a silly tamper to get everything blended well. It fits under my cabinet where I like to keep it and it is just perfect in every way. I make whole fruit and/or leafy green smoothies, sometimes twice a day, and it's always smooth and perfectly blended. As long as you add the proper amount of liquid, that "vortex" forms and everything gets pulled downwards. Everything i make just comes out absolutely perfect. I just can't say enough good things about this machine.

I waited to review this because I wanted to really check out all of its’ functions. I am SO pleased! This is a great appliance at a much lower cost than a VitaMix, which was what I originally wanted. Is it loud? Yup, but I don’t care, it’s a high quality, excellent blender. So happy I bought this, it’s awesome. Blades blend everything smoothly and quickly, breaks down ice, don’t have to hold it down the base is heavy and level, the seal on the lid doesn’t allow any liquid to spill over. Great quality product.

A truly Total BlenderThe Blendtec Total Blender really does it all. You’ve probably seen the unique square jar design before, but until you use it you won’t know the power of the blending vortex that the shape creates.The powerThis industry-leading 1,560 watt motor cranks out up to 3 horsepower! Plenty to propel that 4 inch blade to annihilate whatever is inside.The capacityThe three quart BPA-free jar is large enough for nearly any job; even soup for a large dinner party is no problem for this blender.The versatilityMaybe the best way to think about a high-performance blender is to not think about it as a blender at all. It’s more of a counter-top appliance replacement.With all of the different tasks it can handle, it really is so much more. The Blendtec Total Blender ticks all the boxes of what a high-performance blender should be.If you make bread or bake, the Total Blender is large enough to replace your mixing bowl for making dough.Your soups will be creamier than ever.Turn ice into snow and wow your friends with incredible margaritas.When fruit is at peak ripeness, make it into creamy ice cream and you can savor it then, or save it for another time.The BPA-free jar means you can make delicious food for your baby, worry-free.The list goes on and on; dressings, sauces, salsas, cappuccinos, hummus, nut butter, you’ll never run out of uses for a high performance blender.The convenienceThe best thing about having a high-performance blender in your kitchen is the convenience. Quite simply, having one means that healthy, delicious meals can be prepared in no time at all. A number of features make most high-performance blenders hassle-free, and the Total Blender delivers on all counts.It’s small enough to stay on your kitchen counter beneath the cupboards, or store below in the cabinets. The fixed blade makes the blender safe, but also means no more dealing with screwing on loose parts. The Blendtec is always assembled.Once you have it out, just add your ingredients and select one of the pre-programmed blend cycles. The blender will slow down, speed up and stop on it’s own giving you the exact result every time whether you’re making a smoothie or baby food. It’s a great time saver that let’s you get other things done while the blender does its thing.Cleanup is always the dreaded part of hauling out the blender, but with the Total Blender it’s a breeze. Just add water and a little dish soap, blend it for a few seconds, then take it over to the sink and rinse it. It really couldn’t be easier to clean. The flat panel design is easy to wipe off when there are any spills on the base. There are no buttons for small scraps to lodge under.DrawbacksBy far the biggest issue consumers have with the Blendtec Total Blender is that it is loud. Of course with all of the power it has, it’s essentially unavoidable, still, it’s important to be aware of this before buying. Especially if you plan on using it while people sleep.Another complaint is that the base is heavy when compared to a conventional blender. This is also unavoidable, to house such a powerful motor, and be safe to use, the 5.6 pounds of metal and quality material is a necessity.One other thing that some purchasers notice is the inevitable scratching inside the jar. Because it’s plastic, this will happen over time. The scratches won’t be deep, and the jar will still clean just fine, it’s mostly an aesthetic consideration. The only way to avoid this is with a glass jar, but glass is actually less durable and there are no good high-performance blenders that offer it.The Total Blender comes with the “WildSide Jar” which gives it its unique blending vortex. It also includes the Twister jar which allows you to scrape the sides with a twist of the lid while blending – an important feature when making something sticky like homemade peanut butter. It’s also great for individual servings. For sticking in the WildSide Jar, the included Spectacula Spatula is designed especially for the Total Blender.The Fresh Blends Cookbook features over 200 pages of recipes so you’ll never run out of ideas for great, healthy meals and snacks. And of course, the Blendtec comes standard with a manufacturer 8 year limited warranty, a welcome reassurance after making a significant investment in a high-performance blender.

Compre esta licuadora, ya que he visto que las usan bastante para las cafeterias como Starbucks, Cinnabon entre otras... Y la verdad es que quede ENCANTADO con el funcionamiento que tiene para frappear el hielo, las bebidas quedan excelentes.La recomiendo 100%

Love this blender so much!Arrived within two days , perfect condition and my cute red I love. Blends like a dream I am having so much fun. This is a dream machine especially for smoothies and soups whoa. I only wish that to make almond butter you did not need the twisty jar accessory or that maybe it was included with the classic. Best blender I have ever owned!

I am so happy with this Blentec blenter. My wife and I had been looking for a replacement (and improvement) for my Oyster blender (6 years old) for quick sometimes and were saving for a Vitamix pro 750 until one of my friends showed me the 'will it blend' videos. The guy was using a Blentec blender and it was quite impressive. Amazon had this Blentec TB-621-20 on promo during Boxing Day 2016 and that' s all we needed to make this investment.Pros:- powerful engine- blends everything (so far)- awesome built quality- the jar design (square) makes it easy to pour and clean- the preset modes handle your desired blend mode (try the soup mode, you will be amazed)Cons- a bit noisy, especially with frozen fruits or veggs- the absence of recipe book (my friend got one with his Vitamix and I have been using his recipes)- would have been nice if it came with a mixing temper (for a machine worth over $700 it should be included)We could not be happier, this blender is a real powerhouse!! So far we have used it 30+ times making morning shakes, smoothies, frozen drinks, and soups. No matter what we throw at it, the results are always spectacular. Kale (comes out super smooth), raw carrots (blend in seconds), frozen blackberries (can hardly feel the seeds), ...

El vendedor es súper atento y el precio está muy bien. Lamentablemente la licuadora salió defectuosa pero se puedo pedir el reembolso sin problema. Son licuadoras muy buenas la pediré de nuevo ya que es un buen producto y vendedor de primera.

This was such a fabulous deal on a lightning sale just when we needed to replace. I had been borrowing a friend’s vitamix for a school based breakfast program and was totally sold on an up scale from my little oster.I remembered the blendtec from Costco and phoned my hubby at work- he said buy it ( he’s a chef) an didn’t hesitate.Came fast, bought the warranty too.Playtime!! Wow! This thing is incredible- multiple push button settings, each with a preset mixing regime ie. smoothie- goes medium for 20 seconds, then kicks into high gear, slows down, then back up- machine does all the thinking for you.Came with a little recipe book too.To clean I just put some warm water -1/2 ish- and 1 drop of soap, DONT USE MORE!!Blend and rinse. All clean!
