Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Blendtec Total Blender Four Side, Black
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed thoroughly the performance of this impressive machine! I have owned it for a couple of months, so I can't comment on the durability of the blender.
It comes with a great recipe book with numerous types of food that one can prepare with the blender. I have used a couple of the recipes with success. The primary purpose of this blender in our household, however, is smoothie creation. It performs flawlessly for this function. Unlike cheaper brand blenders, the Blendtec totally emulsifies any ingredients, including ice, into a truly "smooth" smoothie.
It has proven to be easy to clean, operate, and fits nicely on our counter underneath the kitchen cabinets.
Highly recommended!
Customer Review: This is the best blender in the world
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an unexpected wedding gift. I'd added it to our registry as a joke (because of the will it blend series of videos).
I'm eternally thankful to the friend who bought this for us because it's seriously the best blender I have ever used. I never doubt my ability to blend things. I never worry that this run will be the last time it crushes ice. I never fear that I've put too many bits of fruit or frozen pieces in it. It just works.
I've been through three lesser blenders at approx 40-60 bucks a piece and still not used them in total as many times as I've used the Blendtec. The others just died.
Maybe I'm hard on blenders... who knows.
Anyway, WELL worth the price.
Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
I had been putting off for quite some time getting the Blendtec due to the price...BUT.....I finally decided to buy it for health reasons. There are all sorts of "food healing" recipes for smoothies using "real, organic food". I love making these smoothies and knowing I am getting the nutrients I need from food and not supplement pills. The bonus was the "extensive" recipe book that came with the Blendtec (I already had smoothies recipes)....and I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the other things you can make with the Blentec....nut butters, soups, desserts, milkshakes, etc. It fits nicely on my kitchen counter and is very easy to operate.
Definitely worth it for greater health.
Customer Review: Very good blender.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my baseline blender. To me, anyway, it's not extraordinary... you still have to make sure you don't put anything in the blender much larger than a cubic inch. Which is perfect for ice, of course, but if you like making smoothies out of fresh fruit, well, be sure you cut the fruit up well or you're going to be asking yourself what all the fuss is about.
But once you get everything right, this thing works like a champ. It could probably use a couple pounds of sound deadener in the base. Try to keep it on something not-hollow when you operate it. Don't trust it's built-in sensor. It does an OK-job, but use common sense.
Customer Review: the quintessential blender
Summary: 5 Stars
indeed the price tag is a bit steep, but don't let that dissuade you. i previously owned a high end kitchenaid and while it was not bad, i still had to rock it back and forth, especially when making frozen drinks. after seeing vitamix demos at sam's club and hearing rave reviews about the blendtec, i finally decided to research the two. i'm so glad that i went with the blendtec...i use it 6 days a week on average for a variety of things, including making smoothies, grinding flaxseed, making dips, blending soups...the list goes on and on. overall, i have been very happy with my purchase. while it is not perfect, i highly recommend it.
