Blendtec Review

 I am pretty sure that at some point in my life I have owned almost every blender made. At least 30 different brands and model. I used to buy cheap blenders that would break within a few months, and never actually did the job properly. And those blenders never really did get the job done well. If you wanted something that required any power to blend (ice, for example), you were going to be pretty unhappy with end result.

A few years ago I decided to invest in a quality Blendtec blender, and it was one of the best purchases I have ever made. Buying ONE well-made blender turned out to be much cheaper than buying a new low-quality blender every few months. And not only that, but it actually blends everything and anything that I put in it, which never happened with the lower quality blenders

Blendtec Classic Blender
I own the Classic Blentec Blender, which is strong enough to blend anything (1560 watts and 3 horsepower motor). I have put ice, nuts, frozen fruits and all sorts of items in my Blendtec and never once had a problem. Each Blendtec blender comes with a warranty, so if you ever did have a problem with your blender you have nothing to worry about.

Features of the the Blendtec Blender:

• Watts: 1560
• Power: 3 peak horsepower motor
• Dimensions: 7" wide x 15" tall x 8" deep
• Weight: 7 lbs

You can purchase a new Blentec Blender online, and they usually range around $390. Another option is to purchase a refurbished model, which looks brand new and will usually save you $100 or more. The refurbished models are also under warranty, so you get the same guarantee as you would if you purchased a new model! I have one of each (purchased new and refurbished) and they both work great (I can't tell the difference between the two).

The Twister Jar
I personally recommend getting a Twister Jar for your Blendtec if you plan on making any of your own nut butters, dressings or thick shakes. The Twister Jar lid turns so that you can force the ingredients down (the stuff that usually sticks to the side of the jar). No more having to stop and scrape the sides of the jar ever few seconds! Genius right?

I have been wishing for this type of blender jar for years now and here it is! The Twister Jar also includes a spatula that is just the right length and shape so you can get every last piece out of the jar. If you live a paleo lifestyle and know how frustrating it can be to make your own milks, nut butters, etc. then yo definitely need this jar!

Features of the Twister Jar:

• Mini Gripper™ lid for containing thinner blends and patented single-prong tuned wingtip blade
• Easy-to-read jar markings up to 16 fl oz
  
• Durable BPA-free material that stands up to heavy use
• 3-Year Warranty

When you cook as often and as much as I do, you really need a machine that will last, is reliable, and will get the job done quickly. The Blendtec blender lives us to the hype and has never let me down in all of the years I have used it.

If you don't believe me when I say how awesome the Blendtec is, just check out the video below and see it in action for yourself!
