VITAMIX vs BLENDTEC | BLENDER BATTLE

I thought it would be fun to put these two powerful blenders in a side-by-side comparison and run them through a few tests. They are both great blenders and I would be happy having either one of these in my home... but which one is the best? Let me know your thoughts and comments down below. Which blender do you have?

In fairness, it is possible to make a smooth frozen dessert in a Blendtec. It's just not as easy. You need a very specific ratio of ingredients in smaller pieces. With the Vitamix, none of that matters because you can literally force everything into the blade and not worry about air pockets forming.

I own a Blendtec for 5 years now and i have a gym so i use it all the time, everyday.

Well, Waring and Vitamix have had digital blenders in the food industry for well over 20 years, and it seems to work fine. I don't worry about my 750 Pro, but on the other hand, I never use any of the presets. A blender needs a precise dial, and that's it. If I was okay with the noise in my home, there would be a Vita-Prep 3 rather than a 750, but it's stupid loud for home use.

Blendtec is just as expensive if not more and it's no way near as good as Vitamix, sorry but it's true, and for that price point, if it needs something to push the product down they should design it and put one specifically for that blender in with your blender purchase. If it doesn't come with one, I assume it shouldn't need it.

Hey Derek. I’ve been watching your videos for a long time and I really look forward to everything you put out. You were a big inspiration on me to start eating healthier (btw I’ve been vegan for 2.5 years). So anyways... my father recently passed away and I’m only 16 years old, like you were when you lost your dad (my dad was vegan too). And although I believe that genetics doesn’t play a big role in longevity, my father died from a sudden cardiac arrest which can happen to younger people, affects males, and was something that all his uncles had. He went vegan because he wanted to join my sister and I in our new lifestyle and wanted to be healthy. After becoming vegan his blood tests were phenomenal, and his cholesterol went down 45 points, along with taking multi vitamin and omega 3 supplements. He was in great shape and before he died recently had run 1.5 miles in under 9 minutes after not running at all, and at 71 years old. This has been really hard for my family but I always went back to you as a source of positivity. If there is something you could say or share, it would mean a lot. Thanks.

[@marcelchaloupka]

Years ago when I was buying a blender I bought the Blendtec. After using it for a while it became clear it had many limitations. Yes you can make but butter but it take a long time and a lot of starting, stopping and scraping the sides etc. pesto is about the limit of the Blendtec and things like the same nicecream forget about it unless you like spending time stuffing around. Anything that is solid or sticky isn’t for the Blendtec. If or should I say when I buy a new blender, it will be a Vitamix.

[@jobaner]

I've had a Blendtec for over 8 years, but am in the market for a new one. I'm leaning toward a Vitamix, but I have to say that you are not operating the Blendtec correctly. You can't do everything at full speed. Both the ice cream and lemon tests will work, but you need to go at slower speeds and pulse to begin to avoid the air pocket, then increase the speed. Having said that, the presets are not all that useful, so if you were doing a proper test, you would operate it manually, which is how the Vitamix works. Thanks for the great demo, tho! Fun to watch.

[@jackiefox7224]

I bought myself a Vitamix for my 65th birthday and have used it everyday, pretty much for 4 years and it’s just awesome. The only complaint, is that the bowl is getting a little cloudy. But it gets a lot of use for both blending (and cleaning) and it still runs beautifully.

So one needed assistance from a device the other didn't include. Use a wooden dowel (from green star juicer) for the Blendtech and you likely have it as the winner. Which one last longer? Which has the bigger/stronger motor?

My refurbished Blendtec came with a wild side jar, so the problem of needing to push things down is never an issue. I also got a twister jar to make peanut butter, so again, nothing gets stuck on the sides. And unlike the Vitamix, it didn't cost the same as a used car.

[@mesmer1218]

I’ve had a Blendtec and the bearing wore out on it. I bought a Vitamix as a replacement and I’m much happier with the results I get. It’s the narrow container of the Vitamix that makes a big difference in the blend quality, a taller and stronger vortex.

[@Human-Mechanic]

My vitamix overheats and turns itself off when you make tough things like hummus. It is also impossible to get the stuff out of the bottom because the blades are there, and it's a pain to clean. The Nutribullet pro is really good for smoothies and a lot easier to clean

[@edscofield6954]

We own Blentec, Breville and Vitamix blenders. All do a good job. We've never had a splash through the Blendtec's lid, but we actually pushed it down tight (no flaps up). This appears to me to be, in fact, a real infomercial.

[@hurry2014]

I have had a Vitamix 5200 for years and a just purchased a Blendtec Classic 575 today. I am not sure which one I like better but I will say that just leaving the ice cream mixture with the blade spinning in the Blendtec like you did is a bit ridiculous. I think that was a fluke air bubble and you should have tried it again. I can almost guarantee if you had of stopped it, given a quick pulse at low speed then continued the Blendtec would have had no issue. The one thing that I have concluded in the 12 hours that I've had the Blendtec is that it definitely is able to mix up very thick smoothies without any assistance, which I prize. With my Vitamix there's no way that it will mix up the same ingredients without a tamper. I believe this has as much to do with the shape of the container as it has to do with the blades, but I could be wrong.

Hi Derek & Crystal! loved this video!

Thanks for keeping it light:) Been watching some videos from The Real Truth About Health series and wow are they heavy. You guys always bring it back down to living in the moment.

[@melb2596]

I have a Vitamix already and won't ever change it out for anything different, but I just love watching you two! Hilarious video :)

[@jenniferl6208]

I'm in camp Vitamix! Great video...lots of fun🤣

[@scocassovegetus]

What I like about the original vitamix is the stainless container, or whatever it's called. I have a stainless one, and I don't have to worry about it staining or cracking or melting etc. I put hot soup in there to blend. Definitely need the tamper for anything thicker than a smoothie, though because the pressure from the spinning blade pushes everything up, like a fan blowing upwards.

[@amck72]

The reason why your juice was missing some flavor, for the liquid you need to do part apple juice (from concentrate) and part water. Also squeeze some from lemon juice in it. You will notice a huge difference in flavor. I have a vitamix 750 series and loving it.

[@kennyg5235]

I’ve been beating on my Vitamix daily for 6 or 7 years and it still runs like new. What a beast of a machine. If it ever breaks I’ll buy another one right away. Cool blender contest haha. Cheers.

[@USVeganTraveler]

Do they last? I've had my Vitamix for 15 1/2 years. I loved this video and will point people to it when they continue to ask "Vitamix of Blendtec." It is now 2022. I'd like to see a Vitamix vs the Ninja but I'm still keeping my Vitamix. Thanks for the fun video!!!!

[@jmessick8163]

Thanks Derek and Crystal! I have been wondering which would be the best one. Y'all are too funny.

[@rebeccamcdowell6255]

This is one of the videos that convinced me to buy a Vitamix.

[@lindsay8386]

The music and narration is KEY 🔑

[@rashyladickinson5282]

Derek, what size sweatshirt are you wearing in this video? I want to purchase one soon. Fits you perfectly. I'm a female though, but just getting an idea of the fit.

[@MoDavI-sl7iy]

I have 2 be honest, I've been hearing about the Vitamix for years now. I just started hearing about Blendec. I guess some1 had to try to compete with Vitamix. 🤷🏾‍♀️😀

[@roadhogtri]

Great comparison. How well does the Vitamix blend dates? My Blentec leaves small chunks after blending my protein drink, I do have to cut the dates in small pieces to avoid big pieces. Please let me know. Thanks.

[@johnny81269]

I’ve been wanting to see this comparison. Thank you both, funny video as well.

[@AAngela222]

Such a fun and different video from you! Love you both together! Happy Saturday!

[@foresthoe8072]

*DUDE* I THUMBS UP EVERY VID BECAUSE I KNOW IT REALLY HELPS U AND THE CHANNEL. NAMASTIÉ . So glad I found u!! :) also the infomercial edits made me laugh hard LOL !!!!!!

[@sarabarryavon]

Very fun video guys! 😁 Love it!

[@sarabarryavon]

And of course I love my Vitamix

[@LewisBrain]

I have ordered a blendtec I like the look of the design better. Also they are most common here in our UK food businesses Like starbucks vosta and other small independents. Blendtec blenders need more liquid for some product s you are making. Where as the vita mix you would use slightly less stock in a business. As you won't need to add more milk cream or water ect.

[@jason3000tt]

This was fun and awesome.....you go guys!

[@fabiotormenta2798]

What a fun video! It's a pleasure watching you do this, thanks guys!

[@user-bv7mk8id5t]

Vitamix 👌🏼. I want to say I’ve had my 5200 for almost 15 years, maybe a little less but still going. 🌱

[@rjones4748]

That Vitamix smoothie bowl is gorgeous 😍

[@MoDavI-sl7iy]

I luv my Vitamix. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

[@AsWeSpeak154]

😂🤣🤣😅 I loved the competition. I'm a Vitamix gal so I was very happy to see the banana still standing in the Blendtec. Thanks for the laugh guys.

[@lostandfound6505]

What a coincidence I was just googling this comparison the other day. Are those plastic pitchers bpa free?

[@Sunitamark-f5t]

With Blentic I open the top part and use rubber spatula and it comes out perfectly

[@davedoffing8259]

I switched to vitamix because of the slow setting. It would be great if you guys did a side by side with salsa. My older blendtec failed for salsa. The speed was too fast and liquified it, while the vitamix had a lower speed and made a nice chunky salsa.

[@gailcheyenne]

Dave Doffing I use pulse for that. Turns out fine.

[@Multiplemom3452]

Was thinking of buying a Blendtec as well but think I will stick with my vita mix as I love it.

[@TheCinderyJean]

I’ve had both and I prefer vitamix. Not only does Blendtec doesn’t have a tamper, it also doesn’t have a dial like vitamix, only presets, which means it splatters over every inch of the blender and cover. The Blendtec is super messy. The vitamix is much neater bc you can control the speed. Because you can control the speed the liquid doesn’t spray all over. Also, the vitamix container is sturdier and doesn’t get water stains as much as the Blendtec jar. And, the measurements on the vitamix are raised unlike Blendtec, which are painted on, which will rub off over time.

[@sumdood2035]

The Vitamix are actually 2.0hp for the e310 aged line, and 2.2hp for e320 and all of the other newer models. What I'd like to see is how they blend cold liquid with all frozen fruits and fresh greens. I have to tamp with my vitamix every single time I try to blend like this.

[@kat4animals004]

I lovey blendtec! It matters the way order items are added. Preprogrammed buttons are cool!

[@kazaakas]

Derek! Have you ever used a vacuum blender? I got pretty convinced by the reasoning behind them and decided to make my first high-speed blender be one with vacuum function. It makes a pretty good difference in taste, freshness and texture. I suggest you try out a smoothie that hasn't had a load of oxygen rapidly pulled into it, they're amazing!

[@RandomHeartBeats]

Any tips on how to find the same vitamix in Australia? We have the newest models and one called the Total Nutrition Centre, but I'm not sure whether we can get refurbished in Australia... Which is frustrating because it would be awesome.

[@melrox8809]

Love this video Derek and Crystal. I love using my Vitamix.

[@Sheps73r]

I have a Vitamix Pro series 300, There so expensive in the UK at £499. In my home town we had one of the only Whole foods Markets outside of London but when they got bought out by Amazon and they decided to shut some stores ours was one of them 😭. I arrived late on closing day and when I got in the store all the blenders were gone so i found a staff member and asked if there were any left and he said no but would check out back, It was my lucky day and he brought me the last one in the store and I got it for £249. Up till this point I was using a Magimix but the Vitamix was a game changer in terms of smoothness and I love it to bits 😎.

[@TeezMonkey]

Ive had my vitamix 7500 for over 8 years. Best blender ever.

[@carrotsandrunning]

Awesome. I'm in the market for one of these two right now. Perfect timing

[@ScarecrOmega]

I have been using a Magic Bullet for over 12 years and it does everything I want including banana ice cream all last summer.

[@KeelanTatarliovvvvv]

I guess you don't want to do hummus, nut butters, or soups.
