Blendtec At Costco (Part 1 of 2)

[chavitavb]

Not anymore :P Starbucks , and Jamba juice have replaced their blenders with Vitamix quiet ones :).

[djtrackie]

I love blendtec, however, I just saw this guy at my costco last week. He said "a year and a half ago" he was really fat. Well, this video was made in 2008. Now i'm not 100% sure it's the same guy... but they sure look alike!

[revox72]

My Omega 8006 juicer cleans in less than 3 minutes.

[bistekconpapas]

he said that blendtec never needs a tamper to push food down to the blades like "other expensive blenders". so what do you need when you make nutbutter with it? a spatula? oh, of course not. not the same thing. so sometimes a tamper of a kind is necessary when making certain products. sales people are such liars. and that o-ring under the blade wears out. this happened to mine.

[Shenigam3]

Hes a good sales person :D

[Trimere]

I want one! Oh, wait, I do have one. :)

[sashmuscle]

Blendtec is now offereing a complete 7 year warrant on all the parts (blender + jug).

[mriverdance]

@sashmuscle It used to be only 3yr, I guess they trying to match Vitamix. which offers 7- 10 yrs.

[solidstream13]

Thanks you saved me a trip to Costco. I will order online

[toolmaster9]

mmm...spikes their glycerin levels.

[cardiokiller]

Blendtec sucks! i haven't even had mine for 2 weeks and it broke already. the whole thing just fuckin shut down and never came back on. DO NOT BUY A BLENDTEC!!!

[rickw43]

I bought the Vitamix and I just love it. Make anything from smoothies, sorbets, breads and soup. I have had mine for over 3 weeks now and use it contantly about four times a day. Never had a problem with it. All my meals turn out delish and the other than the machine being a little noisy the vitamix is just great. I have lost over 15 pounds since using it. After trying my vitamix out, i simply would not buy anything else.

[mdma4life]

Did that price tag say $379.99 ????

Who the fuck pays $400 for a blender?

[CoolasIce2]

@mdma4life I hear ya. It is a rip off, even though I bought one years ago for $300.

[nexongamers]

lucky you!

[Warsrogue]

I love my Blendtec, it blends everything.....

[bshomb]

Kind of ironic that he talks about not having the leaking seal problem... which is the only issue I've ever heard of with the Blendtec.

[myrrh1126]

What size is the container? Blendtec has a new 96oz container with a 4" blade. Is this the same?

[thyssenelevator95]

Well this video was from 2008, so that wasn't available. It is their standard jar that was being used.

[klined]

just bought one at costco after watching the guy make soup with it

so far not so good, i suck at using it(see video)

[bengalkitty]

My first soup didn't come out so good either. But keep varying your recipes. It gets better. One thing I learned is .. don't use too much raw onion. It overpowers. I've had mine 4 days now & I love it.

[nes007]

That is funny that you would return a blendtec, i returned my vitamix at costco since it would keep shutting itself off and overheat just trying to make smoothies. I think that the only good vitamix blenders are the old metal ones you can't find anymore, the blendtec is so much better.

[bengalkitty]

So you like the Blendtec better? I remember the old metal Vitamix with the pour spouts for the juice. Never used one. I have a Champion juicer. I just bought the Blendtec after seeing it at Sam's Club & I love it. I make healthy low fat soy ice cream & green smoothies all the time now.

[Njuzu07]

I bought mine at costco and love it, if you're concerned about your health long term this is an excellent investment.

[JaybirdMcD27]

I recently bought a blendtec, but after seeing the vitamix demo I am returning my blendtec for a vitamix. Thank goodness for Costco's liberal return policy.

[bmwsux4]

Is the vitamix made in the USA like blendtec?

[Travide]

does the montel williams have more power than this one the montel williams has 2hp in it.

[thyssenelevator95]

A Blendtec Total Blender has a 3HP, 1300 A motor, which is stronger than any other home blender. Most blenders run at either 1/3 HP or 1/2 HP.

[bengalkitty]

The one I just bought has a 1500 A motor.

[CoolasIce2]

@thyssenelevator95 The HP ratings are a joke. The companies are allowed to state the "peak" HP. That is for an instant the HP is 3 Hp, and then settles down to less than that. Also the ratings are without the cooling fan attached

[LegPains]

@Travide

the Montel Williams blender is made in china and its a cheap piece of $%^&*

the containers Leak after a few months of regular use and the company does NOT back up the warranty

[CoolasIce2]

7 year unconditional warrenty? I'll have to check into that. I doubt it.

[SaccharinGrin]

I believe It's actually a 7 year or 10,000 cycle warranty. Might want to verify that before you buy. You can see the cycle counter at 5:34 in the vid.

[klined]

@CoolasIce2

company gives you 3, costco customers get 4 more

[bengalkitty]

If you buy it from Sam's Club or Costco the store gives you an extra 4yrs warrenty. The company gives a 3yr one. So you have 7yrs with the extra 4. If you can get one from Costco or Sam's get one there.

[Rhaen99]

@bengalkitty Costco will take an item back long after any warranty you would buy for sure. I think as long as a Costco exists, they would take back any product that they have sold. I had as friend who bought a hot tub at Costco take it back after 6 years (Warranty was long expired) because of a leak and they were given store credit for the original purchase price. No questions asked and I'm not certain but I don't think they had a receipt either. In my opinion, Costco has the best return policy.

[TheBlackmage29389]

If Tom went to costco....

[SamanthaANewman]

i work at costco, and i see these guys blend all kinds of stuff! i wish i had one, but im not going to spend 400 for it! lol the guy i have at my store is amazing, he sells out everytime!

[MakeFetch]

I got one last week for $379 at Costco

[bulldawg12341]

there only 50 dollars now

[elevatorgeek762]

Are those blenders expensive?

[thyssenelevator95]

Yes, very. $400 for the Total Blender; $800 for the flush-mountable Conisseur blender.
