Blendtec Total Blenders Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Blendtec is a professional product, made to work, and it does. The power is great; the blades are very strong and take chopping ice everyday as does the motor. We are constantly making smoothies. The cycles programmed in can do a lot of "smoothing without thinking."
It's true, the documentation that comes with it is sparse, but if you feel it's necessary, find a book on blending, on Amazon. You cant judge a professional tool by a recipe book, they expect you to know how to use a blender.
I used to go through blenders in about three months, even the very high priced Braun went in less than 6 months (it cost a grand). My first Blendtec is now 2 years old, and all I had to replace is the jar. I now have a second, and won't buy another brand blender anymore.

K-Tec Champ HP3 Professional Blender, Black (Now BlendTec) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this blender when my Kitchenaid's blender rubber clutch died. (Don't get me started on THAT issue ... another story.) I was hesitant to pay big bucks for a stinkin' blender, but after killing off several "best on the market" products, I figured it was worth the money to have something with the power to do what I want to do (things a blender SHOULD do for heaven's sake), and an eight-year warranty to boot.
My first thought after trying my new blender: whoa, this thing is LOUUUUUUDDDD!!!! My second: no way--it even grinds coffee?!!! I was impressed and wondered what it COULDN'T do. Would it clean my windows? Mow the lawn?
I tried a smoothy from rock hard frozen strawberries which would have put my Kitchenaid in the grave. It made the smoothest smoothie (not even a trace of a strawberry seed!) in seconds with no stopping and starting or having to shift the contents.
I remember how HEAVY and awkward my Kitchenaid was to lift and clean. The K-Tec jar is some kind of lightweight indestructible plastic (same as the ones you see at Starbucks) with the blade and metal parts permanently attached. There is nothing to take apart when cleaning, and the base is broader than other blenders so it is easy to get stuff out of it. The blade itself has only two arms (not four like most) which releases thicker foods easily.
After reading the manual, I am amazed at the capabilities of this thing beyond typical blender uses. I can also see that I will use it for more than smoothies and hummus. This one will stay out on the counter for sure.
And for you Kitchenaid owners who are frustrated with that rubber clutch thingie ... this one doesn't have one!

Koolatron CC10G Coca-Cola Can-Shaped 8-Can-Capacity Fridge, Red Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this unit for work, so I wouldn't have to keep buying soft drinks from the vending machine. It does work in that capacity, but there are some annoyances with it, and some limitations.
First I'll start off with the positives. It's lightweight, and it's really attractive. It also does cool things pretty well. I can't comment on warming things up, because I haven't tried it.
The negative part is it is quite large for what it can hold. And more than that, the insides don't hold temperature very well at all after you power it down. It warms up way too fast. Also, unlike a compressor based refrigeration unit, this thing is on all the time. Lastly, you are only supposed to run this for 48 hours consecutively, after which time you need to power if off for one hour. This is not stated in the description, but is an annoyance.
So, overall, it's not bad, because it does keep things quite cold, and you can put most things in it (2 liter bottles you have slant a little). Particularly at work, it can save you money, and give you a much better selection than the vending machine since you can bring in whatever you want. You will also get comments on how beautiful it is; it's that attractive. Just be aware of its imperfections so you won't be disappointed.

Add to the festive atmosphere of poker night, football-viewing parties, or birthday celebrations with this unique mini fridge--or place it in a dorm room or apartment for everyday use. The unit comes shaped like a red Coca-Cola can, complete with a white Coca-Cola trademark up the side and a pull-tab top. Open the door on the side for easy access to stored contents. With its 10-liter capacity, the appliance can hold up to eight 12-ounce cans of soda or up to two 2-liter bottles of any favorite beverage. Best of all, it cools up to 40 degrees F below the ambient temperature and can heat up to 149 degrees F--great for keeping beverages cold or food warm. Other highlights include a self-locking recessed door handle and a removable shelf that slides out to make room for tall items. Ideal for at home, in the car, or on a boat, the can-shaped mini fridge measures 11 by 11 by 17-4/5 inches and comes with a 12-volt adapter and a 120-volt home adapter.

Blendtec The Professional's Choice 1560-Watt Total Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a powerful blender, and is comparable to the VitaMix. I love the square design of the container, because it is easy to clean - way easier to clean than the VitaMix, and the blade at the bottom is not sharp, so I don't nick myself when cleaning the bottom of the blender. It is also much easier to scrape the blended goodness out of the bottom of the blender. But I don't like the lid design. The lid is flat and sits flush against the top of the blender. It gets splattered from the force of the blended ingredients. Makes a mess when you open it. This is a real problem when blending in between adding ingredients. Also, the plunger sometimes IS needed - even with a BlendTec, although Blendtec says it is not needed because of the variable speeds on its blender settings. There are times when I wish I had the plunger to just push things down while the blender is on. Instead, I have to take the lid off, which is dripping all over with blended goo, thus making a mess, so I can stir the ingredients because there is no plunger to push the food down into the blades like the VitaMix.
I have owned a Vitamix for 15 years, and it has proven to be a workhorse. The Blendtec seems to be just as strong, and I welcome it to my kitchen. It seems to do an even better job of grinding grains than the Vitamix. No "dry" container is needed. You just use the same container for both wet and dry ingredients. You don't really need a grain mill if you have the Blendtec, as it really does a very good job of blending grains and dry beans very quickly. It also makes nut butters almost instantly.
Overall, the Blendtec is extremely powerful, and meets my needs for what I use it for - I do daily green smoothies. I just wish it had a different lid, and a plunger.

Replace up to nine other kitchen appliances with this easy-to-use countertop machine--no need for a separate grain mill, juicer, bread machine, ice-cream maker, smoothie maker, blender, milkshake maker, coffee grinder, or ice crusher. With its powerful, commercial-quality, 1560-watt motor, the multi-purpose blender can handle almost any kitchen task. The all-in-one appliance works great for making fruit smoothies, freshly squeezed juice, homemade ice cream, milkshakes, cappuccinos, margaritas, soups, sauces, bread dough, dressings, salsas, and more. It can even turn ice into snow and comes with an ice-crushing guarantee. Furthermore, the countertop blender's exclusive trademarked Smart-Touch Tec-nology takes the guesswork out of blending and food processing. Simply press a button from the digital touchpad and the unit's preprogrammed cycle automatically speeds up and slows down to draw ingredients into the two-prong stainless-steel blade, which spins up to 29,000 rpm, thoroughly blending ingredients so recipes turn out perfect every time. The appliance provides a digital display to show the current status, and it shuts off automatically once the cycle has completed. Cycle options include "ice cream, frozen yogurt", "ice crush, milkshake", "soups, syrups, fondues", "sauces, dips, dressings, batters", "whole juice", and "smoothie". The control panel also provides a pulse function and up and down arrows for manually adjusting the speed.

Blendtec Home The Professional's Choice 1560-Watt Total Blender Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an awesome blender. It blends stuff like you've never seen before and I am really pleased with it. But holy cow is it LOUD!! The cat hates me. I got a pair of earmuffs from the shooting supply place to wear while using it. Maybe overkill, but I think that using it twice a day without them would result in hearing damage eventually. I wish they sold an enclosure for this one like they do for the commercial ones....I'd definitely buy one.
I bought this because I had a juicer and liked it. But I felt that tossing all that pulp and fiber had to be making me miss out on a lot of health benefits. And just trying to spoon some of it back into the juice doesn't work, it's gross. This blender blends whole fruits and vegetables wonderfully, I can still get the fiber and in a drinkable form.
After I bought this, I read a webpage where they talked about blending an avocado WITH the pit, and I tried it. It works, I ended up with an amazingly smooth mousse-like creamy pudding. Not something I'd do every day, but it was very interesting. I have been making kale banana blueberry smoothies for breakfast and it blends everything into one homogenous shake. No bits of leaves, chunks of stuff, etc. I'm enjoying it. I just wish it wasn't so loud.
