![]() I would prefer to buy one, I don’t have much room in the kitchen. So I am looking for a new blender / food processor or both. Recently I started making shakes with pomegranate seeds and my little magic bullet is not strong or patient enough to grind the seeds. I think I need something pretty heavy duty, because I am making lemon grass paste, and lemon grass is really fibrous. I did not think that date paste would be difficult to process. ![]() I broke my food processor that also had a blender jar, while making date paste. Really great information, and it’s so good to hear from someone who tried both brands and can compare. I’d love to hear your thoughts about what you like or dislike about your blender – even if it isn’t a Blendtec or a Vitamix. Aside from quickness and ease of blending, the final quality (smoothness) is the same for both blenders. The Blendtec seems to blend all other ingredients faster and easier. The Vitamix seems to make nut butters faster and easier than the Blendtec. Both manufacturers recommend that you NOT put them in the dishwasher as this will significantly reduce the life of jar components.ħ. The Blendtec jar and the Vitamix jar can both be cleaned by filling jar halfway with warm, soapy water and pulsing. I’ve never had this happen with the Blendtec (which is a good thing because I often start it blending and go on to other kitchen tasks since it automatically shuts itself off).Ħ. ![]() Vitamix can move around on the counter a little bit when blending. In my opinion, the Vitamix is a quality-built blender and will generally last you for MANY years, making it a wise investment.ĥ. I’ve also had people tell me they’ve had their Vitamix for 10 years and it’s still going strong. I’ve had a small handful of people tell me that their Vitamix has overheating and self-shutdown issues. This issue has been resolved and the jar is now very durable.Ĥ. The old Blentec jar design had a design flaw that caused them to wear out quickly. However, Blendtec recommends their jar be filled only halfway.ģ. The Vitamix jar can be filled almost completely full before blending. While the Blendtec Wildside jar really pulls the food down into the blades amazingly well (much better than the Vitamix), I have found that this jar doesn’t work as well as the four-side jar of the Blendtec Blender.Ģ. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I’ll do my best to answer it : )ġ. If you notice any inaccuracies, please let me know and I will make corrections. I’ve done my best to provide accurate information. I have tried to provide unbiased information and to simply inform so you can make the decision that is best for you. However, there are some differences between these two blenders, and I’ve highlighted and organized these differences in the following chart to help make you as you make your decision. I’ve tried it and I would never buy one unless all I wanted were smoothies. (Note: Many readers have asked what I think about the Ninja blender. Both blenders produce a very smooth final product. If I served you two smoothies or two bowls of creamy soup – one made in a Blendtec Blender and one made in a Vitamix – you probably wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. And I thought I would share my findings and experiences with you.Īmong the many blenders I’ve used, the Blendtec Blender and the Vitamix stand out as superior appliances. ![]() I’ve used many blenders over the years … and burned up quite a few of them as well.Īfter dumping loads of hard-earned dollars into the purchase of promising blenders, listening to long and irritating minutes of a screaming blender’s meager (and unsuccessful) attempts to make a smooth salad dressing, and then smelling that ominous burnt motor odor one too many times, I decided that cooking would be so much quicker, easier, and more productive with a high-quality, heavy-duty blender.īut a good blender isn’t cheap so before I invested that much money, I wanted to make sure I got the blender that was best for me. ![]()
