For people who take blending seriously, there is the Blendtec Total Blender. In fact, this blender would be perfect for almost anyone since it replaces so many kitchen appliances! With it's slick, square jar and up to date design, this blender will look great on any kitchen counter - it is not one to hide away in the pantry!
Blendtec has created a masterpiece with the Total Blender. It borders on being a commercial grade blender with twin blades that spin up to 29,000 rpms! This blender comes with an ice-crushing guarantee - it will actually turn ice into snow! It has a 1,500-watt 3-horsepower direct-drive motor and a digital control panel. The control panel has several preprogrammed cycles that take the guesswork out of blending. The unit will automatically speed up and slow down as it perfectly mixes the ingredients. It will then shut itself off at the end of the cycle. There are six different preprogrammed cycles: ice cream/frozen yogurt, ice crush/milkshake, soups/syrups, sauces/dips/dressings/batters, whole/juice, and smoothie.
These blenders are like the ones that Blendtec has developed for juice bars, health food stores, etc. They are powerful and noisy! That is pretty much the only complaint that consumers have is the noise factor. Some users have actually purchased ear plugs to wear while they are blending! Other than that, this is a blender that is well loved and used by those who own them. However, these blenders are not cheap! Expect to pay several hundred dollars for a quality Blendtec Total Blender.
It seems that Blendtec has been marketing this blender to the wrong group of consumers. Because of it's fabulous power and the ability to completely pulverize and puree fruits and vegetables, many people who have adopted a raw foods or vegan lifestyle are huge fans. It has the ability to make nutrient rich green smoothies, and it blends up the kale and other greens so well there is virtually no taste of the greens! Just a delicious fruit smoothie that is extremely healthy.
In addition to having the ability to make great smoothies, shakes and juices, the Blendtec Total Blender allows you to grind wheat for flour, make soups and sauces, even use it to mix bread dough. The possibilities of this machine are endless - your imagination and recipe book will love it!
