Petty issues. This is an outstanding blender.
This video should've been titled "10 Reasons not to buy a blender"
Haha RIGHT!!!
The Blendtec is the best blender I ever had and I have had it for a decade.
I didn't even watch your video, but wanted to say I have a 12 year old blwndtec with 13,000 blends on it and have never had the thing so much as hiccup. Brand loyalty forever.
I've had great luck with my Blendtec 575; We had a warranty claim on our old jar, and they shipped us a new one right away without any hassles what so ever.
I disagree with all these points. I have had a Blendtec for 15 years and it's just fabulous!
Thank you👍 How often do you use yours?
angela nadeau every day
I have not had these issues with my Blendtec. I think this guy probably work for Vitamix👎
I think you are right.
@@starlite556 lol i think vitamix is better in everything
I used to have a blendtec and now I have a vitamix. I’m sorry but the vitamix is better in just about every way.
I had a Blendtec and jars got shredded at the bottom all the damn time. Black residue every time I used it. Eventually the motor just died. Vitamix has been a champ thus far
@@tjselwanes if they're better than everything then why vitamix copied Blendtec's jar design ?
I've owned a Blendtec 621-25 refurb for about a year and I love it. I'm sure the Vitamix is a little better, but it's also nearly double in price. The refurbs go on sale 2 or 3 times a year minimum for between $200 and $220, they're an absolute steal for that coin if you use your blender on a regular basis. You get a better warranty then something like a new Ninja or KitchenAid and don't get the crappy plastic and rubber gear and drive, or the nylon and plastic that will guaranteed burn out under heavy use.
If you can't afford a Vitamix, but can splurge for about $200 on a blender, get a refurbed Blendtec and don't look back.
My Blendtec is great. I have no regrets. I mean, seriously, we are talking about blenders, not flux capacitors.
These aren't reasons to not buy a Blendtec. ALL blenders have these problems. You make it sound like this is a problem with the company but these are market issues.
Too many of these reasons are just superficial...
So, the jar becoming cloudy and ice cream melting quickly does not happen if you use other blenders?
The cloudiness happens to Vitamix jars, Vitamix is loud.I also think that each has its strengths and weaknesses
Been using mine for 10 years.... No problems.
I'm happy to see the comments section all disagree with you.
i would be concerned if the ice cream didn't melt after it's been sitting on the counter for awhile, you buy breyers ice cream, let it sit on the counter for an hour and it will be paritally melted but still maintains it's original shape, what's going on there? what kind of chemicals are they using? it should 100% liquid after sitting at room temperature
I replaced my Blendtec with a Vitamix because the Blendtec can not completely liquefy tough meat. The tough meat fibers wrap around the blade assembly instead of being liquefied by the Vitamix's vastly superior blade design. The Vitamix container is easier to clean, its lid design is far superior, and to top it off, the Vitamix is quiet enough that I don't have to wear hearing protection.
Which Vitamix? The E310 seems obscenely loud
@@Autonimaatio I have the 7500.
@@alex_stanley Okay! Thanks for the reply :)
Love mind it’s 6yrs old! I use it a lot especially when I make my own stock o can blend the bones and turn like a powder! So I don’t know what you trying to say
Thank you so much. Blentec 650. At $250.00 Best Buy on sale so is a must I guess
I used both blendtec and vitamix and I like vitamix more. Blendtec motor has a known issue where the motor plastic housing seems to burn if you use some pre-set menus. I got motor replaced soon after buying hoping it will fix it, but same issue. It is a design flaw
Blendtec for life!
I always love how some critics say they love the products but. . . and yes I am a happy Blendtec owner for 20+ yrs.
Love mine.
Imagine listening to an extremely loud noise for a limited amount of time to get a perfect protein shake or smoothie. Oof such a big trade off I dunno what to do.
Blendtec IS a good unit. I FAR prefer my Vitamix 5300 and my 780 (different locations). But not for any of the reasons in the video. Top rack is NOT a big deal everyone makes that claim, but no top tack is usually big enough to put one there. All you have to do with ANY top notch blender, no matter what the brand, is put 3 drops of detergent and run it. How lazy can you be? Plus, I'm not subjecting a precision instrument to the heat of a drying cycle. Do you take your corvette to the 3 dollar carwash at the gas station?
Blendtec, Vitamix and OTHER Jars will ALL get cloudy. Vitamix isn't any better in that category. No putting it in the dishwasher will NOT help "overcome this".
Noise. Vitamix used to be just as loud, but the combination of new motor and now housing in "next generation" and "ascent" lines IS quieter than blendtec, but not by much.
Vitamix DOES have a definite edge in quality, but blendtec IS good.
Yes, the false claim by blendtec against the vitamix tamper is stupid. The stupid wildside jar is FAR messier to clean. But no, you do not NEED to buy more than the jar. Just use the one that already came with it for free and use a spatula which is just as hard to clean as a vitamix tamper.
Sounds like issues seen in every blender.
Good stuff ! Got my 575 new for $200 Also who would grind coffee more then a shot or 2 at a time ? My dish washer seams to do just find with cleaning it .
Does anyone know if it's possible to refurbish the classic 575 jar assembly , the blades are good but the bearings seem to go to quickly. I would love to be able to do it myself, thanks.
You should've pointed out that every company {including vitamix} has the cloudy jar issue which is unavoidable after so many uses. Because these high end blender jars are made in the same factory. Also , " Alterna Jars " sells tampers / lids for the Blend Tec if you want a tamper that fits all blend Tec models, just search for their website or youtube videos.
Why buy lemon shine???? Just blend a lemon and clean it :)
So if you put you blendtec in the dishwasher, whats keeping you from throwing the annoying splash guard thingy in there too? Problem solved
After a few years of use the rubber gasket that holds the blade in place has loosened. New jars are 150 USD. Seems way too expensive. In my opinion Blendtecs Achilles heel is the washer that holds the blade in place. It shouldn’t wear out like that.
have a look some if not all have an 8 year warranty.
ohh no you have to clean the lid after using your blender. Who would of thought? If only I had a kitchen cook. To carry out such meanial tasks for me.
Everything has pros and cons nothing is perfect.
expect a vitamix lol
@humanISvegan Name one.
Seem to be better than the Warings
What the heck this guy is talking about?? Blentec is the best blender in the market! The square shape is so easy to clean, powerful, durable, will blend anything , I got mine 10 years ago and is still blending like the first day!
Can we just have a small talk on the 575 Blentech please and tell me whether you can make nuts pastes / mill well all kinds of nuts? Thank you
I just got mine and have heard all you have to do is stop it and scrape the sides down often. I'm going to try and make walnut meat in mine soon. Dr. Sebi approved👍
Their twist jar is the best for making nut butter
The Blendtec* 625 Blender that I bought from HSN* for under $290 can make Nut Butters. I have had great success in making Peanut and Cashew Butters using the included Twister Jar, and in less than 45 Seconds, both Nut Butters turned out perfect! I will start working on making Whole Wheat Flour from Organic Whole Wheat Kernels for Bread when Fall comes around.
Get the twister jar. It’s amazing!
I only agree on been noise. I recently owned a blendtec had to return it and buy vitamix because of noisy issue
I bought a classic total for 250 at amazon when they have 100 off, which I returned as I got 50% off on designer 650. I also ordered a vented gripper lid and aftermarket tamper for blendtec. Hoping this will overcome all issues that you mentioned. Vitamix appears to be a better blender based on reviews and videos, but it is too tall for my kitchen and blades are sharp so I don't trust my kids to use it. I gotta say that for smoothies soups and ice creams it blows my ninja out of the order and I found myself consuming more food than I intended.
Vitamix uses blunt blades, got a 5200 with the 64 oz tall blender jar made of Tritan and the the 48 oz one made out of metal and both use perfectly blunt blades
Im watching this video as i already have a blendtec, my question is does the twister jar make it easier to make smotohie bowls because i dont wanna spend 130 dollars on it if its not.
Makes it easier to make things like almond butter etc ...
Yes it does
I have a Blendtec ES3 , about 3 years old, used for average house hold receipts. I found out yesterday that the blade is not rotating even the motor is running perfectly. How do we fix this as the blender is not blending any more?
You don't fix it. You use your warranty and get a new jar for free.
I have a blendex and the bearing burnt out. Of course it was out of warranty. I bought a new container for a hundred dollars. When it goes out I'm getting a vitamix
Legitimate reasons: #6, particularly #8 and #9. The rest are general ware and tare stuff.
I love my Blendtec. It is great!
The water causes shorts in the touchscreen.. big fucking woop..
Im just still wondering about what issues? Every fucking blender ive had in the past has this and even more issues. The only reason im not buying it, is because its too expensive.
My blendtec motor smells like something is burning when I use the pre-set menus. I also noticed plastic shavings on the jar mount everytime i use it
Mayukhee Das contact them and they will mail you a new jar for free! New machines have 8 year warranty refurbished have 3 year.
It will take a little bit to receive the new jar. But it will be at no financial cost to you
Wait, I'm thoroughly confused after watching your video! Should I buy a Blendtec on Amazon at the link you provided or should I not because you just gave me 10 (very well researched and unbiased reasons) to now buy a Blendtec? I will say this. I have had a Blendtec for 8 years and my jar is not the least bit cloudy. If you wash it by hand and not lazily put it in the dishwasher it will not only not prematurely ruin the bearing, it will not get cloudy! It's super simple to wash quickly. Just (promptly after use) fill the jar 1/4 full with water, put a squirt of dishsoap in it and then hold the pulse button for about 5 seconds. All that sticky, hard-to-get-off mess will come off the sides without a spatula. Work smarter, not harder. I'm a pretty lazy person and I've been able to keep my Blendtec alive for 8 yrs. Lastly, I am not sure I understand the logic behind going with refurbished and losing 5 years on the warranty? On their site right now, most refurbished are $100 less, but only come with 1 year warranty. It's a no-brainer to spend $100 more and get 7 more years of warranty. I say this because I had no problems with my blender jar going bad after 7 years 5 months. I called and they gave me a new jar for free and that fixed the problem. If I had not got the 8 yr warranty I would be paying more than $100 just to get a new jar. You see my point in investing $100 now, instead of later? Anyway. Thanks for the confusing tongue-in-cheek marketing video about why Blendtec blenders are garbage and no one should by them. I completely agree. Let's let it be our little secret. ;)🤣
Does the Master Kill Switch work all of the time!
The only thing I don’t like about my Blendtec is that parts of the jar discoloured from making fruit smoothies. A plastic jar on a $400+ blender just seems cheap. Not sure I’d buy a Blendtec again just because of this issue.
I’ve been having the blend Tec classic for about eight years and and has been as powerful as the day I bought it till this day best damn investment ever
I’m not looking for a blender anytime but every reason you gave besides the touchscreen is a little unrealistic. Mean it’s a high quality blender it’s not gonna be silent or not get dirty and the dishwasher friendly depends on quality of your dishwasher also
The only thing I agree with on your opinions is the separate jar issue. Yes if you use the big wildside jar to make nut butters, you have to stop and scrape...I've always said Blendtec needs to have a tamper like Vitamix does. Ninjas are now coming with tampers so wonder why Blendtec is holding out on it. The rest of your reasonings in your video really aren't support enough not to buy a Blendtec. Everything you said holds true for a Vitamix or a Ninja. Also I do have the newer Wildside jar with the silver gasket and third bearing, it is a little quieter but all powerful blenders are loud
You can’t make ice cream in the Vitamix either. You get soft serve you have to freeze.
Trivial reasons... love my blendtec
People only buy blendtec blenders to blend iphones and things like that
no they don't 😆😆😆 I love mine it came today. It is loud but they where made for comercial places not home propertys. I don't mind it only sounds louder in the home. As we don' have 20 plus people talking with music ect going off like in a coffee shop.
blendtec the best. not valid reasons
Should be 10 reasons you should buy a Blendtec
For as much money as I spent on my Blendtec, it has not lasted. Sent one in for warranty replacement. The new one didn't last much longer. My Kitchenaid Pro lasted much longer.
I have both!
J’ai un Blendtec et j’en suis très contente.
I have a blentec, it over heats, the jar grinds all the time, and you need to buy another jar to make ice creams and such. And they are not cheap.
My only issue is the loudness! But all blenders are loud😳
It's not that loud. And i am not deaf either.
This guy probably complains about ice being too cold
Interesting he mentions vitamix a lot 🤔🤔🤔
Lol but he’s totally obsessed with Blendtec 😂
The sarcasm is real. Lol
I have no intention of ever buying a blendtec (or a blender in general) and I watched the whole damn thing. its 4 am what am i doing
chris h i just did the same thing except it’s not 4 am. Kms.
Their jars are trash and they're still selling these trash with the same issue. Now vitamix are sitting on my counter blendtec bury in an landfill somewhere
Is this a joke video? After talking negatively about the Blendtec, this guy posts a link up top to buy a refurbished Blendtec? Downvote.
Well it's a pretty obvious commercial
I love mine
Vielen dank für das Video, wollte grade meinen Vitamix gegen einen 575 tauschen:/
Werde es dann nicht machen!
Thanks
The title of your video is so ridiculous, I won't even watch your video. I've had a Blendtec blender for 11 years. It's the best kitchen purchase I've ever made in my life!
Nothing but problems from vitamix. I’m glad I have a blendtec now
I trust some reasons
Stop confusing people, this is a class blender working like a champ for years, post some quality content.
It’s $189 for amazon prime day.
Blendtec makes a lid without the annoying thing to clean that goes on the lid.
Blendtec is to blend everything but will it blend?
Will it blend a blendtec blender? :D
blend tec sued vitamix for copying their jar design and won. blend tec makes the jar for vitamix
my blendtec 575 got way to hot for raw vegan recipes ....
I didn’t watch the video but the comments sounds like they’re right, sorry chief but this aint it
It will blend iphone
0:08...if you threw it in blendtecs face wouldnt you not be buying it?
So you love and recommend the Blendtec, but used a negative title trying to garner views right? Weak...
bs... he certainly has a lot of experience with something he doesn't recommend
Waiting for the 10 reasons not to buy a car.....
ugh, touch screen on a blender? I prefer the old school knob and buttons.
Some like touch scream they are cleaner than buttons. these are common blenders in starbucks costa and many other businesses. Also independents have blendtec blenders. In the work place you want easy clean/wipe.
I have Blendtec and Have grown quickly to dislike it. Especially what you said about it can’t blend grains and make ice cream well. I am purchasing a vitamix and never looking back
TheBritFix be sure to get the variable speed controls! No sense getting the fancier ones with timers and pre-sets though. How far does one go while blending a minute smoothie? Love my 5200, (same as turboblend vs), and have had it for 8 years. Good as new still.
I don't recall him saying he couldn't blend grains. He said making flour from grains makes micro dents in the jar. While this might make the jar look cloudy, there is no reason to think the jar wouldn't last. You could purchase a second jar only for grains if pretty is more important to you than function. You have to have additional jars with Vitamix. And I woudn't buy a blender to make ice cream. I have an outstanding Italian ice cream maker that no blender could ever compete with.
why would you trust a guy called geoff? blendtec is the shit, you literally dont like it because its TOO powerful
Your ice is the key to the ice cream. Use bagged ice, it works the best. Heavy cream, sugar, what ever fruits or candy for your flavor and fill the jar with ice to the word blendtec. Put on low for a few seconds to test your ice. If the mix is bouncy, add more ice. if it is loud, add more liquid. Start on low 15, sec, kick up to med then high. It will get loud like it is stuck,leave it alone. Once it breaks and after you hear the "pop", hit stop and you have real ice cream. I'll make a video soon. It won't melt. If you use soy milk and agave it will be crap. Use real cream, real sugar and frozen fruits or candy.
Exactly, I dunno why anyone would use a blender for ice cream other than to maybe mix a no egg base that doesn't need to be heated, but like you say, ice cream maker OR a blend n freeze no churn recipe. Frozen fruit sorbet or sherbet, fine, but that's not ice cream
Best blender ever
Your arguments are so amateurs, clearly you don't know anything about blenders, and you don't have any idea about the competition on the market. Blendtec is and will be the innovator in the market. And Vitamix is copying them, they even lost millions to Blendtec for trying copying Blendtec jar. So before trying to criticize a brand, make your homework. Cause professionals like me knows the value of this machine
Calm down it’s just a blender Jesus
@@georgeburns6512 I like her comment, as it makes sense and is righteous.
Graham Wellington yes let’s give out participation ribbons
👀👀👀👀
What the fuck are these issues?
wtf. what is this mickey mouse shit with getting a refurbished model as replacement?? is this even legal?
dunno if it's legal, but it's true, I returned my new unit and got a refurb, but the refurb works better than my brand new one did, plus I still have what's left on the 8 year warranty (at the time it was about a year in or more, now I have about 4 years left on it...
it just sounds strange because normally you get a brand new unit.
They have been doing that exact sane thing with our CELL PHONES, for YEARS...!
This video is a 1st world problems meme on an overpriced machine you benefit from sheerly for it's motor and aesthetic. You don't even get Pyrex glass or strong glass found in some bongs and glassware that's a fraction of the price.
Go out and buy 5 glass blenders with a strong motor and have blenders for 10-20 years.
