Comparison of VitaMix 4500 vs BlendTec HP3A vs Omega Blender

[cjjohnsonfamily]

Great taste in names! (I've got a Jude too)  :)

[abbshurz]

just ordered mine!!! VM turboblend vs with the live fresh recipes and nut milk bag. got a great deal too, $400! when it says call for discount, they're not kidding around. i was expecting $10 off, not $50! can't wait.

i love how the only negative reviews on either the hp3a or vm complain about the noise. 30,000 rpms is going to require a few decibels. if you want a quiet blender, use a mortar and pestle! :)

thanks for the tip on the Omega. I tried looking up reviews online and can't even find 1. I'd like to see a demo of it blending.

What is the warranty on the Omega? Vitamix has a 8 year warranty I think.

[abbshurz]

@wpc1013 VM now has a 7yr warranty, as does the blendtec. don't bother w the omega. EVERYONE uses either a VM or blendtec.

@abbshurz I went with the VM, I love it so much. It has given me so much more freedom in the kitchen. I know I can turn almost anything into a smoothies as well as make perfectly smooth sauces, ground grains, ground spice mixtures etc. My friends are getting sick of hearing me discuss how much I love my VM.

@wpc1013 just ordered mine! can't wait! thanks for the help

nice to see them all side by side! i just saw a blend tec demo and it blew me away! raw soup! and then ice cream!! what a blast!. i want one so bad now to go with my breville juice fountain. who needs pots and pans!?! Good video, great info, thank you but...the link was missing on the video...when you pointed, it didn't show up so maybe you need to edit that in again? thanks again.

Good to know! Thank you! Looking for cheaper $ but still good.

Which one of the three do you find blends the smoothest? Every video I see, it seems as if the Vitamix is the smoothest.

@Proliyfic831832 type in "Blendtec Blender Vs. Vitamix Blender, episode #316" in youtube

they run the blenders side by side and the Blendtec with the newer Wildside jug seems to blend the quickest and smoothest, even without using a plunger

[abbshurz]

@Proliyfic831832 i've also watched a thousand videos and comments and the VM does make things a LITTLE smoother, but some prefer the electronic controls of the blendtec. i would think that the manual controls may be more durable after years of use. less parts to wear out.
