Vitamix vs Blendtec (Part 1 of 2) Which Blender is Best? - An in Depth Comparison

John from www.discountjuicers.com explains the differences between the vitamix and the blendtec hp3a ktec blenders. Both are high powered, commercial style blenders for the home. Which is blender is best? Watch this video to find out. This is part 1 of 2.

Both Blendtec and Vitamix are now making their carafes out of Eastman-Tritan Material, a BPA-FREE plastic that is as durable as polycarbonate.

Vitamix makes three different blade designs: Wet Blade - Included with the Vitamix Turboblend 2 speed and VS models we offer. Dry Blade- Optimized to grind grain into flour and knead bread Ice Blade - Optimzed to blend ice and other beverages. I personally find the wet blade will "do it all" and other blades may not be needed. For example, you can grind dry grains with the WET blade, and it does work. Does it get it to the same consistency as the dry? I dunno. but looks good to me..

This video was so much more helpful that the others that I watched comparing the two blenders. Thank you very much for taking the time and being so thorough as to even measure the height.

[@discountjuicers]

I would recommend saving your money. In blenders.. You generally get what you pay for. At minimum, I would recommend a lequip RPM blender which is better than most.. but save for the vitamix or blendtec if your serious.

[@discountjuicers]

In this video, I show the Vitamix 4500, that has two speeds. Since I made they video, they came out with the Vitamix Turboblend VS, which is the Variable Speed model. This is the model I recommend at this point. The variable speed is much more useful than the 2 speed model, but the two speed model is less expensive, and may be good for people on a budget. I would say save and get the Vitamix Turboblend VS model.

Hey there - I purchased my VitaMix based off your video - I just wanted to say I sort of mentioned you in part of the video. Thanks so much!!!

[@discountjuicers]

Please see part 2 of 2, which talks about the Vitamix.

[@JonHeaven]

Awesome, thank you so much John... I've been waiting for this!

[@richfortin]

Thank you so much.

Im not a fan of the kitchenaid. It is not as powerful. That being said, it depends on the tasks you want to do in certain tests, certain blenders may do better than others.

[@discountjuicers]

No, A Blender is not a food processor. The do different functions. If I needed to choose one, that would work "like a food processor" it would be the blendtec, but that being said, it is NOT the same thing. For nut flour, I prefer to use a single auger or twin gear juicer.

[@vegasrenie]

@rawfoods True true true! I've burned up a couple of Hamilton Beaches, a couple of Osters, etc., and realized that in that time frame, I coulda had ONE Vitamix and never given it a second thought. I finally got one (before I realized that you sold them!) and there's no comparison in the quality of the smoothies. And it's made in the USA!

[@MaicoMoon]

Great review, more reviewers should take the amount of time and effort as you do in reviewing products.

[@TheVittleVlog]

Well done....Thanks for the information!

[@Curitibanasf]

@tonyarae52 Once I was at Costco and saw a demo of Vitamix. Vitamix has two kinds of blades wet and dry. With dry blade you can all kind of flour you want.

[@tonyarae52]

2 questions: Can you use either of these as a food processor? Which would be better for making nut flour?

[@OrenjiOrange]

Does either Blendtec or Vitamix have glass carafes available?

[@Rachna888]

how do you feel about kitchanaid blender ? , in 5 blender test , it left Vita-mix and Blendted way behind in every test

[@steviemovie]

your in depth comparison is really mostly about blendtek-so far your comparison left out really vital information-horsepower etc.

[@phogphire]

John, you should check this out the Blendtec 96oz carafe will only hold 76 fluid oz not 96 fluid oz. It will not hold 3 quarts of fluid. Peace

[@loveguitars]

5 Stars. Thanks

[@jtark31]

will it blend? that is the questions

[@PompanoBeachBabe]

Vitamix has variable speed so has more speeds than the low andhigh. If doing fuit smoothies can get regular blender and much cheaper. These will liquify the food and don't need a juicer (juicer leaves pulp and Vitamix liquifies the entire vegetable). He took more time initially to speak of the Blendtec so I thought he was pushing it more. Vitamix is not computer so less breakdown I would think. It makes soups and they are heated and makes icecream that is cold.

[@Rewonline]

@rawfoods It's true. However, they are made of unbreakable polycarbonate, usually.

[@melissam0ss]

you rock!

[@bricitybrac]

Blendtec has so much going for it, but I've heard that Vitamix has better cust. service.

[@Soyhumanista1]

Vitamix is the best!!

[@NedimMalik]

Awesomeee.... I subbed you! 5&5/5

[@FASSY524]

Will it Blend that is the question.

[@discountjuicers]

No.

[@yykm10]

haha ur a whacko, i like it... ur funny...Good video..still cant decide..never heard of blendtec til today! Was about to order a VM...now i have to think..this helped though

[@JQUICK21]

@Rachna888 That is absolutely NOT True! Pure craziness for sure. You must be selling the Kitchenaid junk

[@masterdelagrande]

"freshest is the bestest!" rofl......

[@af100984]

[@savgal1211]
