Making a green smoothie with the OmniBlend V 3-horsepower blender

[SkateSpace2012]

I still love my 'only' 600W blender (just 10$ used once) seems to be powerful enough for me

perhaps it takes a few seconds more than the 2200W Omniblend .

My new DESIGNER Blendtec RULES!! Vitamix stole Blendtec's technology and LOST a large lawsuit!! That is why I chose a BLENDTEC!!

Horse power*

[jnd28sss]

There are 746 watts in a horse power. Can you explain why this is a three horses power machine.

From the OmniBlend website....

"This is because the most efficient power of a 3 horsepower motor is 950 Watts. There is no need to have more than that. More power is a waste. The OMNI 3 horsepower motor is optimized to run efficient at 950 Watts and this prevents the motor from frequent over-heating, from running too noisy, and it also reduces its wear…all while the blender blends smoothies just as good as all the other high performance blenders."
