your site says the blendtec has a 7 years warranty....

[rawfoods]

At the time I made this video, the warranty was what was stated in the video. Since that time, Blendtec increased their warranty length.

Can you grind grains (to make flour for bread) in the vitamix without buying the 'dry caraf' that they offer? I'ld prefer not to buy the 'dry caraf' if its not necessary (more items to store in the kitchen!)? Thanks!

[rawfoods]

Yes,the wet blade in the vitamix will grind dry grain. Will it do it as well as the dry blade? I do not know. I have not tested it.

usually which brand and model is used by smoothie franchise?

[rawfoods]

Overall, the Vitamix seems to be more popular with commercial establishments.

BEST COMPARISON of these two blenders i have seen on youtube!!! i myself own a vita-mix. usually the person who is reviewing them will lean to one side, you mentions positives and negatives for each. very good keep the videos coming!!

[ForViewingOnly]

Excellent comparison, thanks. I'll be going for the Vitamix (but the model with the additional variable speed control), mainly because as an engineer I like the simplicity of the controls - less to go wrong, easier to fix myself if it goes faulty outside of the warranty period. Shame about the pot being difficult to scrape nut butters out of.

I did not have that model at this time. The variable speed control vitamix has the SAME power as the model shown in this video, but its adjustable. We offer the Vitamix Turboblend VS, which is the model I recommend.

[rawfoods]

Both Blendtec and Vitamix have been used in commercial juice bars for many years. At this point in time, I believe Vitamix dominates most of the market.

[rawfoods]

All blenders may not work properly and leave chunks if the mixture is not liquid enough. See

for further information.

In general, I do not recommend blending wheatgrass, as it will get stuck around blender blades. It is better juiced in my opinion.

Great job! Thank you .

I noticed the flax seed is MUCH smoother /finer looking then the blendtec!

[satxdc99]

Thanks for the comparison! Great video. I had a blendtec and returned it because my apple slices kept getting stuck under the blades. I would end up with smoothies that had chunks of apple slices in them. I figured for $350 that it should completely emulsify my fruits and veggies. I would like to know from Vitamix uses if you can make green smoothies with wheat grass? I have been trying to decide if I should get a juicer so I can make wheat grass shots or if I should get a blender.

I have the Blendtec and wish I would've gone with the Vitamix instead. With the Blendtec I normally have to blend my smoothies 2-3 times to get it really smooth. Meanwhile I've seen videos on YouTube where people use the vitamix and their smootheis (and other blender goodies) are completely smooth after 1 very short blend. Also, the Blendtec likes to dance around a bit.
