Expert review by : Megan Wollerton (cnet.com)

It's not a blender, it's a Blendtec

This Blendtec model costs $454. That may sound like a lot (and it is), but Blendtec claims that this blender consolidates the work of nine or so different kitchen appliances into one.

The ; can juice, grind, mix, and blend with the best of 'em. It is, in fact, among the best of 'em.

The thing costs $454 and it really works best with larger serving sizes. In other words, you better be prepared to make a ton of food to justify this purchase.

Do you really need a 9-in-1 kitchen appliance? If you aren't planning to make massive quantities of nut butter (or other relatively obscure things) regularly, you might actually prefer something less intense.

Blendtec Designer Series WildSide Blender Black

Still, I wanted to know if Blendtec really deserves all that "Will it Blend?" hype. The best way to find out was to test and compare a whole bunch of blenders that run from budget buys with basic functionality to over-the-top industrial-strength...

Easy to use and powerful

I bought this a month ago for our office. I have a Vitamix at home and love it but knew that having the plunger would be an extra step to clean, so I wanted to try the Blentec since the two are always compared. It's easy to clean and the automatic...

This blender is amazing

I purchased this blender several months ago to make smoothies and it has not only been great for smoothies but many other food items as well. The blender crushes big cubes of ice and other frozen fruit with ease and leaves no chunks. The smoothie...

Works great and when it doesn't who cares

Its by far the best blender ever used. I prefer it to my friends vitamix. Unfortunately mine stopped working a few weeks after i received it but it doesn't really matter because I was able to get it replaced.

Used it everyday for 3 years. Over 3000 uses

I love everything about this appliance-except the noise. The variable speeds are fabulous. It gets the job done with the most difficult ingredients. It is a snap to clean. However, I cover my ears.

Vita mix or Blendtec?

I'm big into reading reviews on what I want to purchase. Although I've always wanted a vitamix, I was impressed, wowed, and seduced by moving up the Blendtec line and purchased a Designer 675.\nWow Wow Wow. This sleek sexy blender has exceeded ALL of...
