[@Blendtec]

Wow, great review Henry!

[@ninerbakes]

I absolutely enjoyed this review, great job Henry!

[@escaflowne33055]

honestly one of the best reviews. not rushed and thorough.

[@suzannejacobs757]

You have a wonderful voice and your laugh is infectious!

[@jameslove6]

Henry you are awesome, you have likely the best KZbin channel of all time! Keep up the good work, love the recipes and commentary.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

+chinkilla RIGHT ON!!! Thank you so much. I truly aim to please. Please share my channel with others. I appreciate it! :-)

[@isabellecarjuzaa1888]

Merci Monsieur pour votre démonstration et les recettes associées au Blendtec. Je viens d’acquérir le 625 et j’en suis ravie.

[@MichaelGreer38601]

This is the best blender of all time! Thanks for the video, I had to go get it.

[@aqstermole]

Hey Henry, Happy New Year :) Happy blending in keep smiling in 2015

[@GregTLaurie]

Another great video Henry.

[@oomfs]

Thanks for the video. Can't wait till this is available in Australia :)

[@hackedbythebrotherhood7722]

I really enjoyed Your blender tips and I like the way you do fair comparisons for both and all blenders you're probably the most honest one about not only the Vita mix but the blend Tech as well good bad and indifferent your comments are always spot on along with your demonstrations.

[@chavitavb]

Omg this was like watching a good episode on TV :)... Something I can chill and watch.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Bluesocks 11 thank you. There will be more coming. :-)

[@chavitavb]

Oh yay :)... Henry have you seen the Mini Twister Jar? I have the regular Blendtec and Vitamix :P.. I wish I had the $$$ to buy and try these machines out.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Bluesocks 11 The mini Twister Jar is a little on the small side, plus it's limited in features against the standard Twister Jar. The standard Twister Jar is already small in size and will satisfy every need including making baby food and purees especially since it comes with a vented gripper lid. The mini Twister Jar does not come with the veneted gripper lid. I would say it's minimal size is more ideal for grinding veggies and fruits into baby food but that's where it ends.

[@ericalissette2078]

I have the 675 and I love it.

[@CarlosHendricks]

Amazing Great Review - Cheers

[@pamelarickey6557]

You gave me some great recipe ideas! Thanks so much! And so refreshing to see you do a positive review on the Blendtec 725. After being able to use the Vitamix 7200 and the Blendtec 725 side by side for several weeks, I fell in love with the Blendtec 725. I really don't see how the knob on the Vitamix can possibly give any more precise control than the 100 speed slider on the Blendtec. And there is no comparison when it comes to being able to precisely control the speed of pulsing with the Blendtec. For me, the lack of any pulse option on the Vitamix 7200 was a strong negative. And the one time I didn't flip the switch to low before turning on the Vitamix--OMG! I will never forget the sight of the jar rocking like it was going to fly off, and worse, that horrible grinding noise of the gears not meshing! Of course, they are both awesome machines, but my personal preference is the Blendtec. I haven't found anything yet the Blendtec 725 can't do superbly. I have no tamper envy--haven't needed one with the Blendtec.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Pamela Rickey I've never heard of a Vitamix 7200.

[@pamelarickey6557]

Henry PJ Sorry. Intended to say Vitamix 5200.

[@rousingtherelics]

He's shown the pulse option in other videos, you quickly flip the power button on and off as needed. It isn't any easier or harder than that. I have the 5000 and have always done it that way.

[@hunibuni]

GREAT GREAT VIDEO!!! I have an older blentec and this new model makes me so jealous LOL!!! I love it it's so awesome!!!! OMG the inspiring cute messages... "WILL IT BLEND?" I SWOON!!!!!

[@lazmotron]

Great review

[@borisscott9156]

Nice work Henry. Excellent review. Someone should hire you to do this sort of thing for a living.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Thank you so much Boris!

[@Avjoti]

What a fantastic review - thanks! Is 725 a good choice of blender still do you think?

[@catalincatalin3945]

Good tutorial!

[@buttafly312]

AWSOME VIDEO! I am most definitely upgrading my blendtec to the 725 designer series after watching your video. Thanks for sharing. Way 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 up! Oh yeah I subscribe too 😀

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Right on! Thank U so much for watching!!!

[@gavinparisi6816]

You should compare the Vitamix S30 with the Nutribullet Rx

[@nobodyknowsanything705]

Your cool! Loved this video

[@donhgr]

Bought a vitamix today off your link, thanks for the great videos made easy for me to pick... Your awesome Henry! Don

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Flat Top Don you are awesome. Thank you so much for supporting me and reaching out. Let me know if you ever need any blending tips and I want to hear how you like your 5200 once you receive it. :-)

[@Th3mast3r69]

Wow thats a nice blender.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

YouWrasse IsMine Agreed! Blendtec did a fantastic job on this bad boy. :-)

[@tintessa1964]

I cannot eat seeds they have to be blended well. What blender do you recommend for blending seeds the best, Vitamix or blentec

[@hermanakbiyik513]

hi Henry, i liked your videos keep up the work... :)

[@AGC828]

The 725. Looks like a great blender. Even if you might need the "twister" attachment/jar (which can be bought with the 725 as a combo purchase). Still it costs almost $100 more than the Vitamix a3500. Did you ever do a head to head with these two blenders? Thought you did... As for the "twister" jar...some people don't like the idea preferring the "up/down motion" of the tamper vs the turning. Not having used either...it seems like that's personal preference. Could argue that with the "twister" you only turn. With the tamper you have to "aim" the end usually at the 4 corners. Which is more work (no I"m not that lazy heh). As for the "twister jar" couldn't Blendtec have put a motor in the knob? press a button and the twister turns on it's on. Press again--for off. Also, being that the lid of the 725 (and I guess the others in the Designer Series) has a hole already...why not offer a tamper?? A choice. The display on the Designer series is so much better than the a3500's. IMHO. If they could switch displays...

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Yes, see this video comparison of the Tamper vs. the Twister Jar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5fFo2eraNVrh5o

[@luisrod6136]

how do I put the display brighter, does any one know?? because my display is very dim I can barely see it

[@maxbates8856]

You better still continue the vitamix reviews and recipes demos because that's why I watch your channel

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Yes Sir! And thanks for watching and your continued support!

[@elenal80]

Better than Vitamix :D ?

[@GOG1900]

Henry good job demo. I am Viatmix 750 fan myself, but I did enjoy this demo. From my experience with Vitamix 750, you do all of these with only one container. I am sure Blendtec is a wonderful product but for me... VITAMIX is the KING :-) LOL

[@martinez19d]

not dry goods, need dry ingredients jar; just putting it there.

[@Joseph1NJ]

Henry, great review, & great recipes. May I ask, where'd ya get that plastic squirt bottle @ 27.20? I need one for my olive oil/vinegar dressing that I keep in my office. Thank in advance!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Joseph1NJ Hey Joe! I got the plastic bottles from Walmart in the housewares utensils section. Not sure I remember but they may have been $.50 each.

[@Joseph1NJ]

$.50, can't beat that. Thank you again.

[@TheRonnieaj]

Henry, I LOVE your videos (even though I'm a Raiders fan and don't like the 49ers, but that's okay). I especially enjoy your milkshakes and ice cream, but I'm allergic to almonds (and hazelnuts, for that matter). What types of frozen milks would you recommend? I can do coconut, rice, or soy milks, and assume that I could do hemp seed as well, but for flavor purposes I'm not sure which would be best. Thanks in advance!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Aaren Jackson Hi Aaren! Thanks for watching! My best friend is a Raiders fan and he and I fight back and forth daily, so no worries. :-) Since I use Coconut Milk in the milkshake recipe you can substitute the Almond Milk Ice Cubes for Soy Milk instead. Since coconut milk is already used adding coconut milk ice cubes will double up on the coconut flavor and overpower the drink. Almond milk and Soy Milk are very mild in flavor. I haven't tried hemp but if it's mild in flavor you can use that for the ice cubes as well.

[@donhgr]

Kind of a surprise seeing blentec on here, thought you kinda ripped them in an earlier video about lack of tamper. Looks like a good machine but have seen a video on test kitchen where Vitamix beats them. Do t own any good blender yet but plan on buying a Vitamix in next couple weeks. Blentec would probably make a good second choice.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Flat Top Hey Flat Top! Thanks for watching. Vitamix and Blendtec are the best machines on the market, bar none. They are still the preferred machines in commercial establishments. Please check out my blog review of the Blendtec Designer 725. It's an unbiased review with pros and cons about it. www.blendingwithhenry.com/blog/2013/6/5/henrys-story

[@donhgr]

Henry PJ definitely did check out your blog and have really found out alot about vitamix due to your chanel which is awesome. When i do purchase my vitamix i will go through your site so you get the credit and continue to produce your awesome videos. Thanks Henry!

[@yuzohatori]

Did you had problem with shred rubber gasket at the bottom of the jar?

[@EATMAN888]

Was wondering that myself

[@MrMmartinez8629]

Hello Henry! Great review sir! Was wondering if you've come across the shredded gasket problem on the wildside jar? The CNET review voted this as a no go due to this. Would greatly appreciate your input sir!

[@MrMmartinez8629]

I'm a dedicated vitamix user thanks to you by the way!

[@VincentMichael207]

+Michael Martinez I have been loving my Blendtec Designer 725 series. I use it every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times a day for all sorts of things, I make a lot of cashew cream with it, and that type of thing too. I also, noticed that cnet noticed the issue when making nut butters at full speed, however, the 725 comes with a nut butter attachment and you should not make it on full speed there is a special recommended setting for it. I make a ton of almond butter with my nut butter attachment and have never noticed the rubber gasket issue, and i make almond flour in the full wild side jar and have also never noticed the rubber attachment. But I do keep my eye out for it. It has been great! This machine replaced my vitamix and I haven't been happier!

[@MrMmartinez8629]

Thanks for the imput!

[@sashineb.2114]

+Michael Martinez I've read that review (and dozens similar), and that keeps me from buying a Blendtec. I don't want down time waiting for a replacement jar to be sent to me, plus after the warranty is up, then the jars will cost $$$$. And it doesn't look like the problem is fixed yet.

[@ryanmatlosz2610]

Henry which blender is the best brand: Vitamix or Blendtec. Sorry I'm just curious since you are a fan of both brands

[@BlendingWithHenry]

It's totally subjective to the user. Both brands are used in the commercial world. Depends on your needs and use cases.

[@pamelarickey6557]

Great review, Henry! Your videos inspired me to make a first attempt so I posted my first vidoe on a subject I hadn't seen much about--blending raspberries with a Blendtec 725. Those pesky seeds! The video definitely needs improvement (especially the lighting issue towards the beginning), but you inspire me to do so much better!.

[@Alan-tz7lj]

I simply don't care for the electronic control pad. Give me knobs and dials any day. They provide more precision and put you in control. Blendtec is marketing the "Bells & Whistles" (such as the lighted touch panel} to make it's blenders more exciting. Bottom line... Go for the simplicity and professionalism of a Vitamix.

[@andiewilson8129]

Hi Henry just love watching your video on the Blendtec Designer 725. Where can i get your e-book on these recipes? I am from the uk and have to wait until 2016 before they ship the machine. What do you think about the Blendtec pro 800? would love your feed back. Fan of blending with Henry.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

+Andie Wilson Hey Andie! Please visit me @www.blendingwithhenry.com and select "CONTACT HENRY" at the top of the screen. Send me an email with this same question and we can talk more. :-)

[@onionmai]

is it here yet

[@bethington81]

Hey Henry, Do you think there is a vast improvement from the Blendtec 625 to the 675 to the 725? I hear the 725 is a bit too powerful for its own good and the pitcher begins to leak because of this apparent flaw. Also, do you prefer the Blendtec over the Vitamix or vice versa and why?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

The 100 speed slider and rewards benefits make the 725 the best option. Blendtec redesigned the jars. They won't leak.

[@bethington81]

+Blending With Henry thank you so much Henry!!!!!

[@bethington81]

just as a follow up, I ordered my 725 today. thanks for the recommendation!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Did you order it using my website links? It helps to support my channel for future video content?

[@bethington81]

+Blending With Henry I'm sorry I didn't. I had a chance to buy it from them directly because I live in Utah. I am telling everyone about you though so hopefully it gets you more buyers.

[@PerroV]

Quick question, Henry PJ: Does the Blendtec 725 come with all three jars you mentioned or are the jars sold separately?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Perro V Hey Perro! The Blendtec 725 comes with the Larger 5-sided Wildside Plus Jar. The 4 sided Jar and 32oz Twister Jar are sold separately.

[@PerroV]

Henry PJ Appreciate the answer! Also, I am a huge fan of your series. You've sold me on the Vitamix a long time ago but I just need to come up with the cash to get it.

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Perro V Right on! I appreciate your support. It keeps me on the air.

[@alaylaanajacks5647]

The cashew cream is not at 21:58 It's long before that. Do you have a reciepe

[@BlendingWithHenry]

It's in fact set to the correct time. Try again please. It's only water and cashews measured at a 1 to 1 ratio. No recipe needed.

[@judah3200]

It looks like the blendtec twister blades are more efficient than the vitamix tamper. Is that true?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

+JCFtv The Vitamix Tamper is easier to use and more versatile since Vitamix makes them for all container sizes whereas the Blendtec Twister blades are made only for the Twister Jars which are smaller than Blendtec's 4-sided and Wildside Plus Jars. But don't let that be the deciding factor between each brand. Both have their strengths and both have accessories to get the job done.

[@judah3200]

+Blending With Henry thank you for the feed back👍

[@BlendingWithHenry]

+JCFtv You're very welcome!

[@littlebit670]

Do I have to use almond milk for the recipes?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

You can use any type of milk you prefer including dairy. I just nake dairy-free recipes,

[@owencarey606]

Wait does that motor have more HP than the vitamix ascent? I know vitamix is better, but if that’s more powerful, why isn’t it as good?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Horsepower is not the main factor in blending power and efficiency. A 3 peak hp Blendtec doesn't perform better than a 2 peak hp Vitamix. It's really about the blade and jar design.

[@owencarey606]

Blending With Henry oh i see. Good to know!

[@julitochiapas]

how i can get the Blendtec 725?..and for how much?…thanks!!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

+julitochiapas Do you live in the U.S. or Canada?

[@minimaxi3596]

in the EU for 850€ :-(

[@kieranpatrick1182]

Is blending with henry DWAYNE JOHNSON??he has the voice & positivity haaaaaahaaaa

[@fatimaiqbal7965]

Can it make flour and dough?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

I haven't tried it but Blendtec says it can.

[@fatimaiqbal7965]

Blending With Henry oh ok. Thanks for replying!

[@fatimaiqbal7965]

Blending With Henry I’m debating between this or the ascent 3500. With the ascent I feel like you need more containers but I get everyone’s loyalty to the OG of blenders and that’s why I’m undecided. If you have any comments please let me know!! 🙂

[@BlendingWithHenry]

The extra containers available for the Ascent line are only a plus and an added benefit. Being able to buy accessory containers like the 8oz blending bowls can really help depending on your culinary needs, but the Ascent doesn't need anything more than other legacy Vitamix machines need. If you need more info please reach out to me here ➜ www.blendingwithhenry.com/ask-henry

[@catherinegreen7003]

Henry Henry Henry. I just watched your Vitamix vs Ninja and now I'm totally confused. This blender looks awesome but I thought you had me converted to Vitamix from the last video. I sure hope you have a comparison between this and the Vitamix. My birthday is next month and I need to know which one to tell my hubby to buy... Come on Henry* HELP A SISTER OUT.... TickTockTickTock

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Catherine Green Hi Catherine! Thank you so much for reaching out to me and supporting my videos. You can check out this video of the Vitamix Pro 750 vs. Blendtec Designer Series showdown. Hope this helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmbKc2mviLKSZpI&lc=z12dth0jsqj1zvmmi23ni1t5oqycepqdb

[@atlladyleo1]

Hey Henry! Love your channel and recipes. However, most of your recipes show you using Vitamix. How about showing some MORE love for us Blendtec owners?! :-) Great job!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

atlladyleo1 Hi, I think you posted your question about this on my blog section of my website. I addressed your question there. Thanks so much. Blendtec definitely will be getting more love over the summer!

[@user-op4qi9om5z]

why would one pick 725 over 675 or 625?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

? ? The 725 is has a 100 speed slider manual control, the only one that is available in stainless steel finish and while no Blendtec machines come with recipe books you can get one free of charge, shipping included with the 725 due to the Rewards Program that is only available on the 725.

[@user-op4qi9om5z]

Hey Henry, thanks for the reply, then my question is: is it worth the $100 more to get the 725 instead of 675 for only a few added features?

[@BlendingWithHenry]

? ? Yes, I would definitely say the 725 is worth paying the $100 extra. The recipe book alone is $25. While you can get recipes off Blendtec's website free of charge, the paid for book offers a lot more recipes. That leaves $75 on the plate. A machine of this caliber is generally kept for many years past the warranty 8 period. The 100 speed manual slider control is more than worth the extra $75. For when you need that precise speed for special sauces or mixing. The other Blendtec Designer models have only a 6 or 8 speed slider control.

[@user-op4qi9om5z]

hmmm... OK. I was also considering the Professional 800 for the enclosure, these blenders can get very loud eh!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

? ? You're paying more for the enclosure. The 725 is the better bang for the buck. Unless the need for quiet is imperative such as using it in a business atmosphere I would recommend against the Pro 800.

[@frankesserfi]

Unfortunately the whipped cream you made is NOT vegan, just because you used gelatin! Apart from that I loved your video!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

Thanks for your feedback, but I did clarify that the gelatin was optional and it was purely for presentation.

[@wynterpanther728]

You just made it not vegan by adding gelatin to it ):

[@BlendingWithHenry]

After a 35 minute presentation of Blendtec with multiple recipes.....thanks for having nothing more to say but something negative.

[@sanskritmantra3652]

henry my gosh what has happened to you??? you have gone over to the enemy .. I knew it affordable care act hasn't even fully kicked in and you are losing it hahahaha come on now smile haha soooo the obvious question from a die hard vitamix lover is WHEN WILL YOU DO A HEAD TO HEAD COMPARISON BETWEEN THE NEW BLENDTEC AND THE VITAMIX???? come on now don't let me down im depressed already seeing you do a positive video on blendtec haha Namaste r

[@BlendingWithHenry]

sanskritmantra Haha. You had my laughing the whole time. I just loved your post. :-). I've received so many emails from Blendtec foodies that wanted to see more Blendtec demos so I decided to add it to my repertoire of product reviews. Vitamix and Blendtec are the best in the industry. At this time I do not have plans to have them compete in another showdown review. The previous Blendtec Designer Series I reviewed against the Vitamix Pro 750 has the same blending results as the new Blendtec Designer 725.
