Vitamix vs Blendtec (Part 1 of 2) Which Blender is Best? - An in Depth Comparison

[MRWhiteFolksCakes]

WOW! You're NUTS! ;-D



[ImaginarYxGoddesS]

What blender would you recommend for one person on a raw diet and wants to spend under $100?

[rawfoods]

I would recommend saving your money. In blenders.. You generally get what you pay for. At minimum, I would recommend a lequip RPM blender which is better than most.. but save for the vitamix or blendtec if your serious.

[jtark31]

will it blend? that is the questions



[masterdelagrande]

"freshest is the bestest!" rofl......

[wirelessduo]

Hi . Great videos. Now my question is: A smoothie franchise , which brand and model usually use? Thanks!

[fortgreene31]

yes i have to do some more homework. I will get one of these nice baby's. Peace

[OrenjiOrange]

Does either Blendtec or Vitamix have glass carafes available?

[rawfoods]

No.

[RestaurantEquipment]

@rawfoods It's true. However, they are made of unbreakable polycarbonate, usually.

[rawfoods]

Both Blendtec and Vitamix are now making their carafes out of Eastman-Tritan Material, a BPA plastic that is as durable as polycarbonate.

[melissam0ss]

you rock!

[tonyarae52]

2 questions: Can you use either of these as a food processor? Which would be better for making nut flour?

[rawfoods]

No, A Blender is not a food processor. The do different functions. If I needed to choose one, that would work "like a food processor" it would be the blendtec, but that being said, it is NOT the same thing. For nut flour, I prefer to use a single auger or twin gear juicer.

@tonyarae52

Once I was at Costco and saw a demo of Vitamix. Vitamix has two kinds of blades wet and dry. With dry blade you can all kind of flour you want.

[rawfoods]

Vitamix makes three different blade designs:

Wet Blade - Included with the Vitamix Turboblend 2 speed and VS models we offer.

Dry Blade- Optimized to grind grain into flour and knead bread

Ice Blade - Optimzed to blend ice and other beverages.

I personally find the wet blade will "do it all" and other blades may not be needed. For example, you can grind dry grains with the WET blade, and it does work. Does it get it to the same consistency as the dry? I dunno. but looks good to me..

[Garseraph]

After moving from a house where I had the use of a Vitamix, I purchased a Blendtec in 2004 for myself as I had heard that it was superior. I've missed the Vitamix for it's size and sturdiness, plus the plunger for making thick recipes with little fluid without cavitation. My main complaint, though, is I am now having to buy carafe #4, as the bearings don't last long, even making just a smoothie a day. With a Vitamix, you can get replacement parts (tho' I never had to, even with intense use).

[steviemovie]

your in depth comparison is really mostly about blendtek-so far your comparison left out really vital information-horsepower etc.

[rawfoods]

Please see part 2 of 2, which talks about the Vitamix.

[yykm10]

haha ur a whacko, i like it... ur funny...Good video..still cant decide..never heard of blendtec til today! Was about to order a VM...now i have to think..this helped though

[phogphire]

John, you should check this out the Blendtec 96oz carafe will only hold 76 fluid oz not 96 fluid oz. It will not hold 3 quarts of fluid. Peace

[Smileeen]

@phogphire Good point. I have the 96 oz and was surprised by that.

[C00lman555]

the question is... will it blend? XD

[nod103]

Awesomeee.... I subbed you! 5&5/5

[RootsNahNah]

John you are a fantastic example of someone who knows their products! This was exactly the information I needed today and you delivered. You deserve great success. Thank you!!

[RootsNahNah]

Watch both vids before you make the Blendtec call...

[Rachna888]

how do you feel about kitchanaid blender ? , in 5 blender test , it left Vita-mix and Blendted way behind in every test

[rawfoods]

Im not a fan of the kitchenaid. It is not as powerful. That being said, it depends on the tasks you want to do in certain tests, certain blenders may do better than others.

[Quick2000]

@Rachna888 That is absolutely NOT True! Pure craziness for sure. You must be selling the Kitchenaid junk

[cqgmickey]

@Quick2000 lol

[cqgmickey]

@Rachna888 Yeah your u are crazy as Quick2000 said.....kitchenaid can't even make a can opener right...Over price junk

[bricitybrac]

Blendtec has so much going for it, but I've heard that Vitamix has better cust. service.

[pantuky]

I went through all of this about 8 or 9 months ago. I decided to go with the Blendtec. Boy am I glad I did. The results have been far better than I expected, and I was expecting a heck of alot.

[DaleFitness]

I need a blentec

[reginacunningham]

This video was so much more helpful that the others that I watched comparing the two blenders. Thank you very much for taking the time and being so thorough as to even measure the height.

[TheVittleVlog]

Well done....Thanks for the information!

[af100984]

Blendtec all the way!!!
