5.0 out of 5 stars
Professional Blender, November 14, 2005
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.

This blender is great and the service is fantastic!, December 19, 2006
This review is from: Blendtec HP-621-FLP Total Blender, Black (Kitchen)
I've never written a review before, so you know that I must really like this product to take the time to do so. I've owned this blender for almost a year and we absolutely love it. Yes.. it is quite loud at the higher speeds, but come on... it has a 3 hp motor. What would your 4 hp lawn mower sound like in your kitchen? I think the the volume is reasonable considering the raw power of the machine.
Performance: Green smoothies are perfect (try one if you haven't... they're great!). Not even a bit of kale in sight. Occasionally, a piece of frozen fruit ends up as a "lump" in your glass, but otherwise, the blender evenly blends almost anything. (Check out their website.. they have some hilarious videos blending things like rakes, coke cans, marbles, etc.)
Service: When we first got the blender, I made a smoothie and I put in an avocado (a bit under ripe) and didn't cut it up... just two halves. Somehow it lodged on the blade and was beat around the inside of the jar. Afterward, the jar had a hazy spot at blade level on all four sides. So, I called Blendtec. Bottom line, I got the jar replaced and an extra jar for my trouble. All without any phone delays and with fedex next day shipping.. Wow!
Bottom line: The vitamix is also a good machine, but in my humble opinion, the Blendtec has the complete package. It you're on the fence, go with your instinct and if you choose the Total Blender, you won't be disappointed!

The Total Blender is the best!, February 8, 2006
This review is from: Blendtec HP-621-FLP Total Blender, Black (Kitchen)
[...]Their friendly service and blender comparison chart won me over. This blender has been a blessing. I make my own nut milks, soups, smoothies and even nut butters. It is a little loud but not as loud as my Vitamix blender. I use my Total Blender almost everyday and my kids are begriming to use it. It's really easy and fast to clean and is very durable and powerful. I just can't live without it. Highly recommended. :-)
