Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Blendtec Total Blender Four Side, Black
Customer Review: Used daily; great for green smoothies and baby food
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought our Blendtec Valentines' Day 2010 and have used it almost everyday. We make green smoothies for breakfast and green smoothies or weight gainer smoothies for our neighbor with cancer. It was great when our baby started solids and we'd throw fresh, raw food into it and blend it up and store leftovers for him in ice cube trays. We could blend up our dinner and give it to him as well when he was in that stage. It is loud when it blends certain foods/ice but it has never caused our toddler to wake up. It is easy to wash. It fits under our cabinets (15" high). It enables us to get more greens into our diet in the morning as opposed to just later in the day. Even our 2 year old loves green smoothies- that are mostly greens, as opposed to mainly fruit like some "green smoothie" recipes. All our recipes have turned out the right consistency. We love that we are getting living raw greens!
Customer Review: blendtec total blender - wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a life-changing addition to my kitchen. When I read labels at the store and see all the unidentifiable ingredients I realize what a difference this is making in my family's lives. Because it's so easy I've been baking whole wheat bread every week and love the muffins, too. I make green smoothies and soups, all with whole fruits and vegetables and no chemicals. I intend to try more recipes over time -- jelly, applesauce, dips and sauces. Many recipes just require adding all the ingredients at once. With others you add some and process, then add the rest. With the push of the button it processes while I do other chores and cleanup is easy, too - just process water and a drop of detergent and all the remainders are swished away (but I do fully wash it later). The unit itself is easy to wipe clean because it's digital. No dials to get gunked up.Customer Review: Worth every pennies or $$$

Absolutely awesome blender. I was using a juicer but even though the juice was excellent, the amount of wasted produce was unacceptable. So after careful review of many blenders in the same price range as the Blendtec, I bought the Blendtec HP3A. And I could not be more satisfied. Indeed it pays to read all accompanying literature before using it. I also always star my whole juices with about 1/2 cup of liquid. I like my juice quite thick. The liquid does help get the blending started. In less than a minute I have well blended fresh whole fruit/veggies juice that is just excellent. If I have one slightly negative coment to make it is that this blender should come with hearing protection such as a few pairs of ear plugs. This machine will help keep you healthy but if not careful will also make you deaf. In spite of that I give this produce 5 stars!Customer Review: I love my Blendtec

We purchased our blendtec after much, much deliberation (in spring of 2010). I really wanted to make my own flour for more nutritionally dense baked goods and to make our own baby food. Plus, we didn't have a blender anyway. I'd read a lot about it and once we got over the sticker shock, we bought it. It doesn't grind the flour as fine as I like (ie. for pastries) but it works great for all purpose flour. I have noticed that the pulse button is really helpful when things get stuck in the corners. Only once have I gotten the Overload screen and I was obviously asking too much of it (I'd already run it a few times on a setting that was too high and hadn't discovered the usefullness of pulse). It's really easy to use and I really like it.Customer Review: powerful (and loud)

I use a blender a lot and have burnt out a couple of lesser blenders during day-to-day use. Happy to say that after a couple of years of almost daily use, my Blendtec is still going strong!!
This is a very powerful blender. It does the job right. It has different settings, depending on what you want to make. Crushes ice with ease. Great for milk shakes. Great for smoothies. If it is able to be blended, this blender can do it! See the company's "Will it Blend?" videos for some hilarious examples of that! :)
My only complaint about this blender is the noise. It is very loud. Perhaps that is part of having something so powerful? Scares the cat when I turn it on, even after two years of use! :)
