Why I Love My Blendtec Blender

I’m a sucker for kitchen appliances and accessories. I know. It’s silly. But, I love them. Sandwich makers, cake pop bakers, fancy pancake pans, bento boxes, my rice cooker, ice cream machine, my griddle…I love them all. (Maybe it’s because I always wanted an Easy Bake Oven as a kid and never had one. haha. Whatever. I’m not bitter.)

But, my favorite kitchen appliance of all is my Blendtec Blender. I LOOOOOVE IT. I use it almost daily. I can make soup and smoothies and batters with ease. I did a lot of research before deciding between the Vitamix and the Blendtec. They are both pretty expensive. In the end, I know I made the right choice. (One of the many reasons I went with the Blendtec is because it fits under the counter, and the Vitamix is too tall.)

I saved up for a long time to buy it over EIGHT YEARS AGO! And to make it even more affordable I bought a refurbished one from the website. And it is still going strong all these years later. That is a serious blender.

This thing is powerful enough to HEAT SOUP due to the friction the blades cause when spinning. I can make steaming hot soup in three minutes without turning on the stove! And I can use it for grind grains into flour! There is nothing this blender can’t do.

I use it for a lot of things, but green smoothies are the bulk of it’s job. It blends them so smoothly, you wouldn’t even know there are greens in there. (except that it’s green -haha) No bits, no chunks.

Have you seen the “Will It Blend” Videos? Oh man. They can pulverize an iphone, ipad, golf balls, marbles, and all kinds of things in these videos. The Blendtec IS a stinking powerful machine.

I love the pre-programmed Smart-Touch Tec-nology, so I can just press a button and walk away. The automatic program cycle with fluctuating various speeds will stop when the program time is completed. SO smart. I can choose smoothie and get on with life. Like unloading the dishwasher.
