Blendtec Designer Series 8 Speed Countertop Blender

Love this blender, does a superb job! Should've bought one years ago.

Best blender in the market, I had one a while back, got this one for my dad since he’s battling cancer and I recommend a food healing protocol that requires this specific blender given the combination of HP and blade design completely micronize the foods and break open the fiber in fruits and veggies releasing healing phytochemicals. Has hasn’t been able to eat much or at all, made him some special smoothies with this and he drank 2 cups in a short time which is a huge W

I previously owned one of these, and liked it so much I wanted another. I was able to find it reasonably priced at Perigold, and was pleased with the prompt delivery. It is bigger than an average blender and the panel is digitized, so I am somewhat concerned for if or when it fails to work. But otherwise, it performs beautifully and, as the saying goes, "You get what you pay for." This is no exception.

Blendtecs are quality blenders. Our previous did heavy lifting for 10yrs. This one seems to be even better quality. Blends smoothly. Has lots of options. We use it daily to blend all sorts of things. Yes...it will blend an avocado seed! Only complaint is that the button are all digital and so I worry it might have issues at one point.

Great blender. Work exceptional well, even blending smoothies made from frozen foods.

I've been a loyal Blendtec user since 2016! I recently upgraded to the designer series ans I couldn't be happier! The sleek touchscreen and blending presets make it SO easy to whip up a treat, cocktail, or dip! The recipes Blendtec offers are great too!! I tried one of the remixes to their CopyCat Dole Whip and got all smiles!

I’ve been using the Blendtec Total Blender Classic for several years now, and it has truly transformed my kitchen experience. The 1560-watt motor is incredibly powerful, effortlessly handling everything from smoothies and soups to nut butters and ice cream. The six preprogrammed cycles—Smoothie, Batters, Hot Soup, Whole Juice, Ice Cream, and Ice Crush—make it simple to achieve perfect results every time.  One of my favorite features is the illuminated LCD timer, which displays the remaining time on blends, allowing me to multitask without worry. The fully sealed, push-button controls are not only easy to use but also make cleaning a breeze. I also appreciate the 10-speed manual control and pulse option, which provide flexibility for various recipes.    Tips for New Users: • For hot soups, start with the preprogrammed cycle, but if you prefer a chunkier texture, use the manual speed settings to control the consistency. • When making nut butters, use the pulse function to achieve the desired texture without over-processing. • To clean, simply add a drop of dish soap and warm water, then run the Clean cycle—it’s that easy!  Overall, the Blendtec Total Blender Classic is a robust and reliable appliance that has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. Whether you’re a seasoned chef or a kitchen novice, this blender offers the performance and versatility to elevate your culinary creations.

Understanding how to operate my blendtec following the directions, can be a little confusing, especially when I'm use to a Ninga. This blender makes my smoothies great everything is blended together. I finally understand the different functions.

I just purchased this blender. I do have a Vitamix and needed a second blender. It was difficult to figure out which Blender to purchase, but I went with this one because it had some nice preset features. I would say that the preset features are not necessary. Also, if your fingers are wet, it will not always register your request. I’m not that impressed with it, but it does have a lot of power.

There’s a burn smell coming off every time it blends, sound is good, it blends ok but after 20 uses there’s burn smell coming off every time it blends
