*I had one of these before and it lasted many years and I used it a lot. It blends **MyBest.Kitchen** chops ,grates. Does most anything you would want to use it for. A lot of bang for your buck. A litlle loud however it so fast it is not bothersome.*

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

There are so many good blenders out there that will do the trick! Vitamix is my preference, but I know there are many great quality blenders available. Whatever works for you and blends a great smoothie is a winner!

[@valeria8233]

Thanks for the demo. It was really great! I loved the Blendec!!!

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Glad you found it useful! 🙂

[@ruddle465]

FYI: The Vitamix has been around for years but mainly in the home use sector. The Blentec started out in the industrial/hospitality sector and only recently went into the home use sector; hence why the name in the home use isn’t that well known. In industrial settings most unpaid chefs prefer the Blendtec. All Starbucks had Blendtec’s because of their power, ability to truly emulsify, and longevity, but now Vitamix pays Starbucks to use their machine. Both companies warranties are now 3years. The Vitamix has a strong motor at just under 3hp but the Blendtec has a full 3 peak hp motor (that means peak while under load and an equivalence of an electric chainsaw). There is a difference. The Blentec can always sit on your counter underneath the upper cabinets, the Vitamix has to be stored away because it’s to tall to be under typical upper cabinets. Both are amazing machines and you your families will enjoy them. Final note: the reason for the blunt blade on the Blendtec is it is the only blade that can not only emulsify anything you put in it but it is the only machine that can emulsify in a way that releases all the enzymes of your food. With sharp blades it can only chop extremely small but cannot release the enzymes which allow your body to absorb your food immediately as you drink it and not just once it’s in your stomach. Hence why most professional sports teams, trainers and Elite athletes use a Blentec. Either way again both machines are amazing.

[@ruddle465]

Look to “Will it blend” videos on KZbin to see just how powerful the Blendtec blender truly is. I have had both but by far prefer the Blendtec hands down.

[@antoinette4568]

Wow thank you. I have an ice cream business and l am still on the fence which one. After reading your comment this has helped me to decide.

[@DH-og5yr]

Vitamix has 7 and 10 year warranties. And your body has acids that break down enzymes.

[@wilfredogarciagonzalez2889]

@@antoinette4568Vitamix is way better. It’s not a competition, the Vitamix is the standard of commercial business. People who have used both blenders will tell you the vitamix is way better by far. There are tons of videos on KZbin comparing both blenders with real ingredients and Vitamix is the winner by far.

[@antoinette4568]

@wilfredogarciagonzalez2889 sorry but the Vitamix...could not stand up to Blendtech. I have a ice cream business since 2014 and vitamix lasted less than a year. We had 4. Kept fixing them. Blendthech for me all the way

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

You're welcome, glad you liked it! 😊

[@jackprick9797]

Thanks for the video. I used to have a Ninja and I hated washing the jar, cover and blades. The jar and cover had so many nooks and crannies that were hard to get to, and the blades were sharp so you had to be careful to not cut yourself. Operationally, it was also a pain in the butt because the jar has to be locked in and the lid also has to be locked in. I got sick and tired of that. That drove me to want a blender that I could just throw the lid on and throw it on the motor. The Blendtec had those features I was looking for, plus I also really liked the blunt blade feature. Washing it was going to be easy. Costco had them at a great price so I bought one. Five years later, I am still really happy with it. I had considered the Vitamix. I believe they do make the best, most robust blender but they were much more expensive at the time. I notice that Consumer Reports reliability rating is average(?) for Blendtec 725, vs excellent for Vitamix. I have a hunch that the electronic controls are probably the culprit of the issues. The motor and jar assembly, I think, are very robust and I would not expect that to be an issue. So if you are buying a Blendtec, my recommendation would be get the basic one, the 575 which is currently $350 at Costco and includes the Wilde Side Plus jar.

[@maxinef6654]

I agree with you regarding to the Ninja. I hate it too. It doesn’t blend well. I have made smoothies with spinach and afterwards I’ve had to pick out spinach from my teeth. I also hate all those nooks and crannies that the plastic container has. It’s extremely hard to clean and I’m afraid bacteria will develop in those crannies. I will be keeping mine for one year then getting rid of it. I’ll spend the extra money and get either a Blendtec which I had before or get a Vitamix.

Im digust by how americans clean, they just used water and pressed clean button disgusting

[@kutshup101]

I have vitamix and actually even vitamix themselves say that their blades are Blunt and dull and that's why they survive so long, they don't need to be maintained if used at home and not commercially. so I don't know why they said that Blendtec has blunt blades when vitamix does aswell.

It was a nice demo. Not skewed to one side. Seemed fair. Both Blenders Looked Nice and as you said it remains a personal preference. One aspect the :) cam man missed was 1) Cleaning. The dials and switches would be hard to clean spills etc. Blendtec smooth body is easy to clean in swipe 2) Counterspace seems sort of equal but which one was taking more counter? In design.. Vita doesn’t it look like those old Radios from yesteryear and Blendtec like the intro of an iBlender. I’ll give my grandma the Vitamix and my Girlfriend Blendtec.

That particular Vitamix has a 10-year warranty

[@allenmiller2071]

I have two Vitamix blenders. One has the squat container, the other has the tall container. I don't like the squat container as much as the tall one because the squat container does a lot of splashing of the ingredients. The tall container does very little splashing.

[@PaulLeach123]

Vitamix also has dull blades. I used to sell these and used to put a Dixie cup in the blender at the lowest setting and it would pop around the jar without cutting it

Compared to Blendtec, the blade is pretty sharp. Yet if I compared it to the Ninja, it's definitely dull.

[@tjtrent2351]

Little bit o feedback: Material types of the blending cup/pitcher. Dishwasher safe? Blade material, stainless, sv60, chinesium? Sealing method for base and blade assembly? Ease of disassembly to clean or replace orings? So many ways to actually do a review on two good machines. The race thing didn’t make any sense or difference as husband pretty much said, yet that was pretty much the review. Warranty was mentioned and appreciated. How about wattage on motors? Planetary gear systems? Belt drive? Attachments like food processor? Personal cups? Just something to consider for future videos. It was fun, just not super fair to either blender. Thanks and be safe!

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Thanks for your feedback!! Definitely appreciate the suggestions! Definitely wanted to make this relatable and practical for consumers, but you bring up great points, and reviewing blender details and specifications is important to make sure your blender is going to suit your lifestyle and meet your expectations. However, I think with either one of these blenders, satisfaction will be guaranteed!

[@jmc8076]

I’ve been a happy Nutribullet (Pro) green smoothie user for a decade almost daily or twice. There’s the odd minor issue but for the price it’s great. I’ve looked at both blenders in this video and may get one day. The video’s still helpful. If/when Nutribullet makes a deal with KZbin/google to be sponsor (official retailer) and channels can then be offered incentives (monetary or otherwise) to do videos around them you’ll suddenly see more videos with them and comments. Same with other great blenders like Ninja etc. There’s a lot choice for users. Competition is good. NB does have a new large 64oz blender useable with hot liquids. I’ve no ties to NB just a fan. Use what works for you.

[@Nicole-pn7sq]

Team Blendtec! I owned my Designer 725 for three years now and I don’t regret choosing the Blendtec over the Vitamix. Did my research and decided to go for the Blendtec because of the blunt knives. I prefer to clean my Blendtec with my hands because it saves electricity and I wouldn’t do that with a Vitamix. Nor would I think the sharpness of the Vitamix knives would last for decades. Sharp knives just get blunt, eventually it’s going to happen (even after using it for years). I plan to have my Blendtec for a very long time and I won’t buy a new jar (which costs as much as normal blender that you can buy in the store) unless it gets broken. It’s very well made and does everything I need it to.

[@Albertojedi]

Blendtec (with all those whatever speeds) looks like the Robot of the 1966's Lost in Space tv series. Vitamix looks like the Robot of the newest Lost in Space Netflix series😁😁😁

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

They do! 😆

Team blendtec

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Woot woot! Glad you have something that works awesome for you!🎉

[@OrganicSilverMoonDesignsLLG]

I personally like the vita mix better,My reason for that is I was trying to decide betweenTwo blenders tested,I think the vita mix is stronger Because when they were both blending I noticed on the blend Teck Scary the blender Seem to be bulging where as the other one didn't Meaning the plastic pichture Part,Test,I'm gonna look at some others Testing the vita mix blender Test I say vitamix is the winner a real tough work horse,Thank you for sharing this video.

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Glad you liked it! 🙂

[@finessecraft3157]

But will it blend? That is the question.

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Oh yes! Either one of these blenders will give your optimal blending results!

[@HopeandPeace720]

I have blender of 70 euros, it also has no chunk smoothie result. Just this chunk feature is not the comparison people are looking for. Weird.

[@bobs.4644]

the rubber messes up when you blind nuts FIRST time in a bran new Blendtec + the blinders top will not be stable. the Vitamix blinds nuts with no problem at all

[@jb4863]

Ur hubby is too cute. U both should be in front of the camera!

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Jen and Ryan make a great team!

[@Slyfox1775]

Water , soft fruits , greens , ice !

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Sounds like a delicious recipe model! 😉

[@mikefa5891]

If you added some ice to the smoothie ... Blendtec would be the clear winner.

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Thanks for your comment Mike!!

[@cfoster6804]

Shouldn't have to add ice for a blender to be a winner.

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

@@cfoster6804 we suggest adding at least one frozen fruit. This ensures your smoothie is creamy, helps break down your leafy greens, and that it's chilled to perfection.

[@Mrv1960]

@@cfoster6804 The vitamix destroys the Blendtec in crushing ice. You might want to check out America's Test Kitchen where the Blendtec failed the ice test.

[@anthonyrussomanno1540]

I have the 3500 and the blade is dull you can’t beat a vitamix where are they coming up with the vitamix has sharp blades and the vitamix also has a tamper which is a big advantage

[@1voicenwilderness]

I have owned a Blendtec for 7 years. Not only is it a tank for smoothies but I have made food, ground grain/flax for bread, etc. The only drawback to the Blendtec are the mixing jars don't hold up to the power of the blender.

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

We love hearing all the things people make using their blenders! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the drawback, it will be helpful to folks doing research before buying their own blenders. :-)

[@juliewhite7469]

I believe Blendtec has an 8 yr warranty for the bas and a lifetime warranty for replacement jars.

[@balwa999]

What about blending primarily "activated" organic macadamia/wallnuts into smooth nut butter consistency? Which one is the winner?

[@micheallancton8984]

Great video however the vitamix does not have sharp blades like the Blendtec it has blunt blades so it can smash rather than cut the food. Blunt blades are better than sharp blades every professional manufacturer knows that hence why every pro blender doesn't have "Ninja" sharp blades.

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Great factoid! Thank you. 😊

[@jvallas]

BlendTec recipes have liquid in first, then other stuff, followed by ice if it's being used. Don't know how much that affects things.

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

It can definitely help blender better!

[@76katster]

I just threw my 8 yr old vitamix in the trash after finding black specks of Teflon. Very disheartened. Vitamix has addressed this but people are still finding it so I’m in the market for a replacement 😱

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Before you throw it away, I encourage you to give Vitamix a call and speak to one of their customer service reps. They have amazing customer service and I'm sure would be willing to help you with this.

[@76katster]

Simple Green Smoothies I did call them- they assured me my canister was not a part of the recall and the black specks were more then likely dried bearing grease? Either way who wants to digest either? I did order another vitamix as mine was out of warranty anyways- I did receive yesterday and the first thing I did was the water test. No specks! I am disappointed in Vitamix but sadly there just isn’t another machine in the market that compares. Trust me, if there was I would of purchased it.

[@gustocb440]

@4:05 did she drop the f 💣

[@BlueDroneBlues]

I don't know why they are saying the blades on the Vitamix are sharp? They aren't. Even in the description they are dull blades. I have both the Vitamix and the Ninja Blender and the Vitamix is completely dull and the Ninja is very sharp! I have cut my fingers a couple times, my lip and tongue cleaning the blades because it's fun till you get cut! That Blendtec seems like a very nice machine. I don't get why Vitamix cheeps out on extra features and wants max money for them? Whether my blender has a dial or the finger function I don't really care either way. I am tired of cheap blenders and wanted a good high quality one that will last me many years and I can work on attachments to do more with my blender. I had the Ninja Blender for about 3 years and it's been acting a little weird besides cutting myself a couple times and cleaning the Ninja Blender is kind of a pain in the butt because you have to be careful from the sharp blades. So far I am absolutely loving the new Vitamix 2300. Just would have been nice for what I paid it would at least come with a couple extra basic features.

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

We are so glad you're enjoying the Vitamix 2300! Sounds like you are a blender pro 💚

[@thekandy3]

To bad you both didn't try taste each other smoothie

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

We will have to do that for the next one!

[@littlefriendsplayschool8745]

I was hoping you would also taste each other’s and comment

[@Gangularis]

What happened to the old video you guys used to have with that other girl??

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Hey There, could you explain a little more about the video you are looking for?

[@angelacollins9677]

I think maybe you’re talking about Jada. She helped start simple Green Smoothies, but is no longer a part of it. ⭐️

[@BobRooney290]

ok, now put on the food processor attachment on the blendtec. oh wait, they dont make one? well, that's a deal breaker.

[@Fatima.114]

Blender call the way… test out the robot coupe

[@Dooger111]

I prefer the blendtec. Too many problems with the vitamix from my experience.

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

Oh, bummer you had issues with your Vitamix! Did you utilize your 10 year warranty? They're really great about honoring that! Either way, if the Blendtec is what works for you, we're just glad you have a way to make healthy green smoothies! ☺

[@jacobduncan8875]

If you have more liquid than ingredients of course there are no chunks.

[@Puusankimmo]

Try mayo vitamix cant be set slow enough. Its gonna make it too liquidy

[@SimpleGreenSmoothies]

You can always add more frozen fruit, fruits with more soluble fiber (like bananas or avocados), chia seeds, use a creamier liquid base, plant-based protein powder. There are lots of ways to make your smoothie thicker with any blender. I have an article where I discuss this EXACT topic here: simplegreensmoothies.com/how-to-make-a-smoothie-thicker

[@Puusankimmo]

@@SimpleGreenSmoothies i meant like actual mayonnaise. Vitamix slowest rpm so fast that its gonna be liquid otherwise prolly very good blender. Just making this point cuz that a different if u want blender to do absolutely everything. But that review had only one model of vitamix, maybe some model will have slow enough rpm.

[@awakeandalive4248]

@@Puusankimmo . I bought the blendtec at Costco 4 years ago for 279 dollars and just recently bought the vitamix at Costco the E320 series basic model it came with a personal attachment for a single smoothie very, anyways I was under the impression that vitamix was more expensive because of the plunger and because you can do more things,I was ready to give my neighbor my blendtec but thank God I didn't, depending on what you're putting on your smoothies both will have issues if you put collagen powder or any powder supplement but the blendtec is more simple and easier to store and is not as noisy as the vitamix after 3 weeks of using the vitamix I decided to take it back to Costco, the only problem I had with the blendtec is that if you put less than 10 Oz. of water leafy greens like kale might get stuck on top and not come down but it can be avoided by simply putting 10 to 12 Oz of water, yeah but definitely for just using it for power smoothies the blendtec is a better choice for me.
