Product Description

Let’s talk about time for a moment, it’s the one thing in life that is given equally to everyone. Regardless of our circumstances, jobs, or family commitments we all have exactly 24 hours to use each day. Time is precious and fleeting. It will not wait for any of us to use it up or share with others.

Cooking meals and cleaning dishes takes effort and a lot of time. Day-after-day meals need to be made, and then the cleanup begins. It’s a necessary part of life. Blendtec blenders significantly reduce meal prep time and cleanup. When you buy a Blendtec blender you’re not only buying the world’s most advanced blender, you’re also buying yourself more time.

How can a blender give you more time? It comes down to technology and design.

Our advanced technology and jar design create a vortex, which pulls food towards the blade instead of pushing it to the sides of the jar like our competitors. With Blendtec jars, you won’t waste time tending your blends with a tamper to get all the ingredients down into the blades, and no tamper means one less thing to clean when you’re done.

Blendtec blenders can also heat your food during the blend cycle. For instance, if you want soup for dinner, a Blendtec blender can blend it up and heat it up at the same time so it’s ready to serve straight from the blender jar. No need to heat your soup in a pan. Can your old blender do that? No pan and no additional heating time means less cleanup.

Not only can Blendtec blenders heat your food, they can also make ice cream. Actual ice cream can be made with the exact same blender that makes soup.

Drinks, appetizers, main courses, and desserts can all be made with the same blender using the same jar. The time it takes to make each course could be measured in seconds not minutes or hours. Cleanup for an entire multi-course meal could be as simple as pushing the pre-programmed, self-cleaning button to wash a single jar, and just like that, you’ll be done.

There is a reason that having the world's most technologically advanced blender is worth every penny, it gives you more time to focus on life and the people who matter to you.

5 out of 5 stars
Over 17 years old and still going strong!
My husband saw some wild "Will it blend?" videos and immediately wanted a Blendtec. I was skeptical but here we are over 17 years later and it's still amazing. There are so many jar variations now, our favorite is the Wildside. I've used it for smoothies, hot chocolate, hot soups. milkshakes, hummus, blender pancakes and so much more.

I must give you a little bit of history before reviewing the Blendtec . . .
Our local Costco was having a Vita-Mix road show and i bought it knowing that I really liked everything I had ever read about a Blendtec. A couple of my friends raved about the Vita-Mix, so I felt I needed to pay a little attention. A large purchase like this deserved a little research so that I wouldn't have any regrets. I watched the demo, was impressed and took home the Vita-Mix that day. I was anxious to make a smoothie with it because I had been using the Magic Bullet for five months. I made my first smoothie with it, and it turned out great but the "honeymon" didn't last very long. I did not like the sheer size of the Vita-Mix! It sat VERY high on my counter, wouldn't fit under the cabinet and it looked like it belonged in a commercial-sized kitchen, not mine. I absolutely disliked everything about the lid, except the ability to drizzle liquids in from the opening. The lid was not easy to put on nor remove. And the tamper!!! A good machine should not require a tamper to push the food around. The blender canister has these decorative grooves on the sides and oh what difficulty to "get every last bit out" with a a rubber scraper. I felt like I was wasting food! Then, I made a vegetable pate and the 4-pronged blade made it extremely difficult to get the food hiding below the blade. By this time, I had had enough and was only too happy to take it back to Costco.

That same night, I ordered my Blendtec. It arrived promptly and have LOVED everything about it since Day One! It is so-o-o-o easy to "get every last bit out" because the sides of the blender doesn't have the unnecessary decorative grooves on the side. It makes a big difference if you're the type that doesn't like to waste. I feel that the Vita-Mix and Blendtec are equally noisy, but it does its job so quickly and efficiently that it really isn't on for very long. It is so efficient and powerful that it doesn't need a silly tamper to get everything blended well. It fits under my cabinet where I like to keep it and it is just perfect in every way. I make whole fruit and/or leafy green smoothies, sometimes twice a day, and it's always smooth and perfectly blended. As long as you add the proper amount of liquid, that "vortex" forms and everything gets pulled downwards. Everything i make just comes out absolutely perfect. I just can't say enough good things about this machine.

Our BlendTec blender rocks! Super easy to clean, operate, and does such a super job that I can't stop telling people about it. It took less than 3 seconds to completely shred 2 large boiled chicken breasts for chicken salad. I have used it to coursely chop celery and carrots to use for stuffed bell peppers. We've made salsas using all sorts of veggies.

At first it intimidated me. I did not want to waste my expensive organic fruits and veggies making wierd concoctions. But I have learned to keep it on low, pressing the ^ button only once. That way it does not whir everything into a liquid until I want it to. I can actually prepare recipes so much more quickly. The only thing it does not do is SLICE. Cleanup is a breeze and it is attractive enough to leave on the kitchen counter...but not too tall that it couldn't be put in a cabinet.

Amazon mailed it to me within days. It is VERY UNCOMPLICATED to use and comes with a small cookbook. It is less expensive than the Costco Blender and easier to clean. My daughter has the Costco blender. I've used them both. Following the directions to put wet/liquid items in first, then the chunky things and Ice on top makes smoothies very easy. I did blend some roasted nuts into Cashew Butter and had to stop, poke the sides with a spatula a couple of times to get the butter to move so that more nuts could be ground, but it was so simple and easy...just use a long spoon, or spatula.

This would make a very good gift for someone who wants to incorporate more fiber, fruits and veggies into their diet. Unlike a juicer, the whole piece of fruit or vegetable is used. Dr. Oz has convinced me that eating lots more green, leafy vegetables is good for us. Put some seedless organic grapes (resveratol), frozen peaches, carrots, and baby spinach leaves into this blender...add ice and even a sprig of mint and Voila!! Delicious and healthy drink. My husband made an iced coffee drink one morning. Making baby food from leftovers would be a great money saver for young families too. The list is endless!

No blender is quiet.. this one is very tolerable, so the loud noise is not an issue.

Compre esta licuadora, ya que he visto que las usan bastante para las cafeterias como Starbucks, Cinnabon entre otras... Y la verdad es que quede ENCANTADO con el funcionamiento que tiene para frappear el hielo, las bebidas quedan excelentes.
La recomiendo 100%

Love this blender so much!
Arrived within two days , perfect condition and my cute red I love. Blends like a dream I am having so much fun. This is a dream machine especially for smoothies and soups whoa. I only wish that to make almond butter you did not need the twisty jar accessory or that maybe it was included with the classic. Best blender I have ever owned!

I am so happy with this Blentec blenter. My wife and I had been looking for a replacement (and improvement) for my Oyster blender (6 years old) for quick sometimes and were saving for a Vitamix pro 750 until one of my friends showed me the 'will it blend' videos. The guy was using a Blentec blender and it was quite impressive. Amazon had this Blentec TB-621-20 on promo during Boxing Day 2016 and that' s all we needed to make this investment.

Pros:
- powerful engine
- blends everything (so far)
- awesome built quality
- the jar design (square) makes it easy to pour and clean
- the preset modes handle your desired blend mode (try the soup mode, you will be amazed)

Cons
- a bit noisy, especially with frozen fruits or veggs
- the absence of recipe book (my friend got one with his Vitamix and I have been using his recipes)
- would have been nice if it came with a mixing temper (for a machine worth over $700 it should be included)

We could not be happier, this blender is a real powerhouse!! So far we have used it 30+ times making morning shakes, smoothies, frozen drinks, and soups. No matter what we throw at it, the results are always spectacular. Kale (comes out super smooth), raw carrots (blend in seconds), frozen blackberries (can hardly feel the seeds), ...

El vendedor es súper atento y el precio está muy bien. Lamentablemente la licuadora salió defectuosa pero se puedo pedir el reembolso sin problema. Son licuadoras muy buenas la pediré de nuevo ya que es un buen producto y vendedor de primera.

This was such a fabulous deal on a lightning sale just when we needed to replace. I had been borrowing a friend’s vitamix for a school based breakfast program and was totally sold on an up scale from my little oster.
I remembered the blendtec from Costco and phoned my hubby at work- he said buy it ( he’s a chef) an didn’t hesitate.
Came fast, bought the warranty too.
Playtime!! Wow! This thing is incredible- multiple push button settings, each with a preset mixing regime ie. smoothie- goes medium for 20 seconds, then kicks into high gear, slows down, then back up- machine does all the thinking for you.
Came with a little recipe book too.
To clean I just put some warm water -1/2 ish- and 1 drop of soap, DONT USE MORE!!
Blend and rinse. All clean!
