Which is the BEST Blender? Comparison Vitamix, KitchenAid, Blendtec, and Ninja Blenders

[@seedaveskate]

I have had my vitamix for over 25 years.

[@BarbaraK12050]

I have concerns about heating food in plastic, so I got the stainless steel pitcher to do soups in with my Vitamix.

[@KnowYourProduce]

We absolutely love that they have the stainless steel option! 🥰

[@kathyfann]

I have a Blentec at home and I’m gonna tell you that thing has been going strong for over 20 years and it doesn’t miss a lick . I have like 47,000 some thing on my counter. I noticed I’m seeing more Blendtex in the restaurants because they just work perfectly every time and you don’t need that pusher it doesn’t need it. It just does his job and the other thing I always use the white side jar. I love that thing my sister has the vita mix and she watches what I do with the Blentec and she says ma’am that’s the better machine for sure I’ve got the nut butter attachment. I can make nut butter out of my own almonds and cashews from Costco I do not need to buy nut butter. I make whole foods smoothies in it all the time and I make ice cream in it but I don’t use ice cream I use ice I use fruit and I put in a little bit of milk. I always put water in my blender enough so that everything is free. If you don’t like your Blendtex, give it to me please and I’ll put it in my Motorhome they are expensive

[@KnowYourProduce]

We’re so glad you love and use your blender! It went to a good home 😊 it’s a great blender, but as you mentioned you put water so things are loose. That’s where it fails not having a tamper tool. They did come out with a twister jar but the size is not comparable to any blender, more so personal size.

[@TacoTuesday4]

It’s almost like your sister never uses a vitamix lol

[@yvonneesperanza3143]

Came here to say this, you don’t have to scrape the sides with a Blendtec. I worked in a restaurant for 10 years and we had Vitamix and Blendtec, I always went for the Blendtec.

[@damned_1]

For me growing up with my grandparents who always owned glass jarred blenders… it’s a must for me to this day.

[@KnowYourProduce]

@@damned_1 I completely get that, especially with the power of these blenders. That’s why the stainless steel pitcher from Vitamix is a great option!

[@KirkStephen]

Great comparison, had been doing a lot of research and was torn between Vitamix and Blendtec. Couldn't find many good comparisons but a couple of issues you had with yours there has settled it for me.

[@KnowYourProduce]

We're so glad we could help! Happy blending!

[@CorinneClassic]

Thank you. Great comparison test.

[@KnowYourProduce]

Thank you so much!

[@sallychan8207]

I’m looking for a blender that I can blend lemongrass , galangal, kifir leaves, garlic, turmeric and more . Which one? I have a Vitamix but it gets overheated when I blend those ingredients, inside to give it a break for few minutes and that waste of my time!

[@KnowYourProduce]

Which vitamix are you currently using?

[@muhammadakramariff6466]

Our Blendtech died after 11 years of great service. What should I buy next?

[@KnowYourProduce]

We’ve had our Vitamix for almost 12 years now and plan to have it forever 😊

[@Successful.Mindset_Coach]

Well obviously the first blenders you tested will make a warmer soup because the soup is cooling down in the other blenders meanwhile, so it isn't really a fair test.

[@KnowYourProduce]

Thanks for your comment! This was an extremely thorough test: 1. Each blender made the soup individually, with no overlap or sitting time. Meaning I blended the Vitamix, then tasted, I blended the KitchenAid then tasted, I blended the Blendtec, then tasted, etc. 2. I tasted the soup immediately after blending to ensure accurate results. 3. All the ingredients started at room temperature, so the heating was entirely due to the performance of each blender.

[@Successful.Mindset_Coach]

@KnowYourProduce Thank you for a quick answer.😃 That makes sense, I thought you first heated the ingredients in a pot or something at the same time and then blended it just to combine everything, and not to heat it up. So then the ingredients would cool down while laying in the blender. But that was wrong and now I understand and personally this test helped me a lot so thanks.❤️🥰🤩

[@KnowYourProduce]

You're welcome! I'm glad the explanation helped clarify things for you. Let me know if you have any other questions!

[@Cooliewhistles]

I’m confused why you didn’t compare consistencies of the green smoothies? Do u mind ranking the top three if I’m primarily making kale and fruit smoothies every day and want smoothest consistency ?

[@KnowYourProduce]

So for the smoothie, since these are all high-speed blenders aside from the ninja, they all make a really creamy smoothie and can break down all of the contents. The ninja there was still bits, but the others did a great job, the top 3 for me would be the Vitamix blenders and the Kitchenaid when it comes to consistency.

[@Cooliewhistles]

Thanks!

[@KnowYourProduce]

You’re so welcome! 😊

[@pawsitiveleader8710]

opinion on wilprep 3 1/2 HP Commercial Blender With Stepless Speed Control ?

[@KnowYourProduce]

I can't really give a solid opinion since I haven't tested it or heard of it until your comment. It seems like it may have just released this past September? I'm not able to find any reviews on it.

[@petervalk5079]

How does the soup gets warm? Do you put hot soup in it? Or does the blender heats it up? Thanks for the answer😀

[@KnowYourProduce]

Due to the amount of friction created the soup becomes hot. The blades are spinning so fast that it heats up the ingredients.

[@petervalk5079]

@@KnowYourProduce Tought it was like that. But needed to be sure. Thanks so much for the reply😀👍 Now I'm gonna buy my Vitamix👍

[@KnowYourProduce]

You’re so welcome!! We hope you love it! 😍

[@jessicaturk6928]

I've had the same Vitamix model as you for 8 years (so just out of warranty in my country), due to travels I hardly used it in the last 3 years but it was a daily tool for me before that. Now unfortunately the blade got stuck, i could hardly move it, took it out, cleaned it, put it back in and it worked well for 2 days.. then got stuck again. It's impossible to get a Vitamix replacement blade so the only option would be to buy a different blade or replace the whole container which is 200€.. Have you had to replace your container yet? I'm worried that I'll get a new container for that amount and end up having to replace the entire thing soon since I'm out of warranty.. Also not sure if I would get a replacement model which would fit the same container (and they're usually included anyway).

[@KnowYourProduce]

We did buy a new replacement when we had our youngest due to food allergies. It works just as beautifully and it’s the one in the video. Just finished washing it from making a pureed soup!

[@latinreuben]

Last night, u started me on an all night blender stream spiral. They use the same formula as Apple. Darn ecosystems 😮

[@dlengelkes]

Can you please compare vacuum blenders?

[@KnowYourProduce]

We will consider it for a future video! We did this with a goal of downsizing the amount of blenders we have. 😀

[@dlengelkes]

@@KnowYourProduce thank you for responding

What is the kitchen aid exact model number?

[@deadlypoisonedrose]

5KSB8270

[@rhondalambert9028]

I have the ninja and love it. I use it alot and love the triple blade

[@KnowYourProduce]

We’re so glad you love and enjoy using your blender! That makes it the best too!

[@feraldog5590]

Blendtec is better in mostly every way having owned and used both for 10 years

[@KnowYourProduce]

I wish I could love it! I love the white base, but in our experience the Vitamix and KitchenAid out perform the Blendtec.

[@marutinandan182]

0:12 and we know what one is the best

[@KnowYourProduce]

I almost wanted to move the kitchenaid into the kitchen. It’s a great blender too!

[@marloeb23]

What about the noise?

[@KnowYourProduce]

The noise level varies depending on what you’re blending for all of the blenders. I find that most high speed blenders are a bit louder but we also push them more than we would a regular blender.

[@KnowYourProduce]

I’d be happy to do a noise comparison, not sure many would listen, but definitely could do a video on it 🙂

[@Catsoverdogs444]

Nutribullet blenders are a best kept secret. They last long and can blend anything

[@KnowYourProduce]

We’re happy to hear that you found a blender that works for you! We haven’t tried a nutribullet yet. 😀

[@colors5778]

Nutribullet don't make a smoothie 🥤 smooth the strawberry 🍓 seeds don't blend smooth.😎

[@bumscorchos1070]

The reason I'm looking for a new blender is because my nutribullet just died after 1.5yrs... Also, you can't use any hot liquid/food in them.

[@KnowYourProduce]

I know they make larger blenders now, but I haven’t personally tried the nutribullet. For the best blend we do recommend spending more to have something that will last and yes that can pulverize even the seeds from berries! 😊

[@cannaj875]

The ninja is for milkshakes like thick frosty like milkshakes none of those blenders can make that I will bet money on it.

[@KnowYourProduce]

Thanks for the comment! Most people don't typically buy a high-end blender like the Vitamix just for milkshakes, but we can definitely give it a try in the future. The Ninja was actually already passed on to a friend, so we won’t be able to test it out anymore, but I appreciate your input!

[@Anthologic]

“Will it blend? That is the question!”

[@KnowYourProduce]

Yeah….. it will blend, but.. 😖

[@Anthologic]

@@KnowYourProduce I really hope you got the reference lol

Herzlichen Glückwunsch. Der Schnellsprachwettbewerb kann gewonnen werden ;O)

[@KnowYourProduce]

Did I talk too fast?? I’m sorry 🥺

[@infernicc]

But you missed the best one, the Optimum Blender (an Australian brand). I've had it for five years now. It's cheaper and more powerful (3.5 hp or 2,611 W and 48,000 rpm) than all of these and also has six blades. It can even grind stones into dust (they have a video, too). kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5ykg6SFfMaar8k

[@KnowYourProduce]

I’ve honestly never heard of this blender, but there are so many blenders that I could have added. This are the most well known brands that I happened to own already. Glad you found an affordable option that works well for you! Definitely sounds impressive! 🥳

[@blakekeithley3400]

Vitamix lost the patent fight with Blendtech . I don’t Suntech, where are you? Found such a puny Blendtec most most smoothie shops use Blendtec blenders.

[@KnowYourProduce]

I’d be happy to test out a newer blendtec but can’t justify the price with the results I’ve had with this one. The thing is my 5200 is my favorite and I’ve had that Vitamix (which I love and use daily) since 2012 and the blendtec since about 2015 I believe. The blendtec is “newer” than my Vitamix.

[@Catsoverdogs444]

You shouldve swapped the ninja for the nutribullet.

[@902Steeler]

I have never in my life decided to put an entire apple in a blender so to me and many, this part of the test really isnt relavent

[@KnowYourProduce]

As you could see some actually did process the whole apple, so yes it’s a good test. Why? Those wider bases may not need a tamper tool for something like a bunch of frozen fruit stuck together. The ones that cannot blend the whole apple will definitely need a tamper tool or even chopping of ingredients. Also, if you go on TikTok, there’s a viral chocolate cake that is made from apples and people put a whole apple or chopped apple in their blender. So some you don’t need to prep. This is just like juicers some can use a whole apple right inside the hopper but others you have to cut it.

[@mkphilly]

OK, who puts a whole apple in a blender? And how many people use a blender to make soup?? I've had a complete Ninja kitchen system for years, and it does almost everything I need (full and single serve blender, food processor) at 1/5 the price of vitamix.....not a commercial kitchen...

[@KnowYourProduce]

For this comparison, I did. But usually? No. It’s nice to know I can core an apple and add it in though. 😅 As for the Ninja, we said it’s a great buy! We love the Ninja brand and have many of their products. Some do use blenders to make soups. The Ninja also performed better than Blendtec when it came to making nice cream. 👍

[@CorinneClassic]

I do. I put whole fruits and veggies in my Vitamix to make smoothies, I don’t cut them. I make ice cream and sorbets. And yes, I make the most delicious hot soups in 5:45 seconds, no need to transfer it to the pot. Glad you are happy with yours.

[@KnowYourProduce]

@user-bj8zq2lb1z so glad you love your vitamix too! This is exactly why we did a whole apple! Because we know that some people don’t like to chop up their vegetables and fruit. It does take time and you can really reduce that amount of prep time by having a blender that’s can handle the tasks you throw at (well in) it. 😊

[@fluffypotatocow]

My vitamix died on me after like three years

[@KnowYourProduce]

@@fluffypotatocow sorry to hear that! They have an incredible warranty so I hope you contacted them!
