A couple caveats on these results: Matt, using the HP3A, uses the Speed Up control on his Blendtec to go to the High setting - a recommended method. Angela waits 12 seconds on the apples and 22 seconds on the salad before utilizing the High speed on the Vitamix. Tipper does her blending on both the apples and salad with the Pulse button. The ladies' aren't "wrong" but there are more effective ways for them to do this specific blending task, thus effecting results in favor of Matt's blender/jar.

@abettersouthworld Vitamix doesn't have BPA in it anymore

Bought a Blendtec AND Vitamix and returned the Blendtec. It jumped around, and I did need to use a tamper. Also it was much cheaper feeling in construction than the Vitamix. Kept the Vitamix and am happy with that decision.

Too many PCB parts on the blendtec - not interested in that kind of stuff. I sort of wish the vitamix didn't have the variable speed knob, but instead just two speed switches.

Spec buying is dumb when you really want to know which one is going to still be working in 10 years.

Vitamix would work better i think if you turn it on high instead of keeping it on low and jamming the food down it and then turning it to high.

Not sure what was the case when you did this video, but as of today Vitamix blenders are BPA-free.

When I saw this video I decided to buy a blendtec. It's a good blender if you use liquid always you still need a plunger even though blendtec says you don't when making ice cream and nut butters you have to stop the blender and push everything down. So I went to Costco bought the vitamix tried it out and loved it I was able to make ice cream with just frozen strawberries and bananas no liquid. Also you can not walk away from the blendtec it jumps when you put hard frozen food. Vitamix is better

what about other things Vitamix does other than just veggie & fruit smoothies?

One horsepower for rating electric motors is equal to 746 watts.

Blendtec total blender has 1560 watts.

If it was 3 horsepower it would have 2238+ watts.
