Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Blendtec Total Blender Four Side, Black
Customer Review: I love my Blendtec
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased our blendtec after much, much deliberation (in spring of 2010). I really wanted to make my own flour for more nutritionally dense baked goods and to make our own baby food. Plus, we didn't have a blender anyway. I'd read a lot about it and once we got over the sticker shock, we bought it. It doesn't grind the flour as fine as I like (ie. for pastries) but it works great for all purpose flour. I have noticed that the pulse button is really helpful when things get stuck in the corners. Only once have I gotten the Overload screen and I was obviously asking too much of it (I'd already run it a few times on a setting that was too high and hadn't discovered the usefullness of pulse). It's really easy to use and I really like it.Customer Review: powerful (and loud)
Summary: 5 Stars
I use a blender a lot and have burnt out a couple of lesser blenders during day-to-day use. Happy to say that after a couple of years of almost daily use, my Blendtec is still going strong!!
This is a very powerful blender. It does the job right. It has different settings, depending on what you want to make. Crushes ice with ease. Great for milk shakes. Great for smoothies. If it is able to be blended, this blender can do it! See the company's "Will it Blend?" videos for some hilarious examples of that! :)
My only complaint about this blender is the noise. It is very loud. Perhaps that is part of having something so powerful? Scares the cat when I turn it on, even after two years of use! :)
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed thoroughly the performance of this impressive machine! I have owned it for a couple of months, so I can't comment on the durability of the blender.
It comes with a great recipe book with numerous types of food that one can prepare with the blender. I have used a couple of the recipes with success. The primary purpose of this blender in our household, however, is smoothie creation. It performs flawlessly for this function. Unlike cheaper brand blenders, the Blendtec totally emulsifies any ingredients, including ice, into a truly "smooth" smoothie.
It has proven to be easy to clean, operate, and fits nicely on our counter underneath the kitchen cabinets.
Highly recommended!
Customer Review: This is the best blender in the world
Summary: 5 Stars
This was an unexpected wedding gift. I'd added it to our registry as a joke (because of the will it blend series of videos).
I'm eternally thankful to the friend who bought this for us because it's seriously the best blender I have ever used. I never doubt my ability to blend things. I never worry that this run will be the last time it crushes ice. I never fear that I've put too many bits of fruit or frozen pieces in it. It just works.
I've been through three lesser blenders at approx 40-60 bucks a piece and still not used them in total as many times as I've used the Blendtec. The others just died.
Maybe I'm hard on blenders... who knows.
Anyway, WELL worth the price.
Customer Review: Awesome

I had been putting off for quite some time getting the Blendtec due to the price...BUT.....I finally decided to buy it for health reasons. There are all sorts of "food healing" recipes for smoothies using "real, organic food". I love making these smoothies and knowing I am getting the nutrients I need from food and not supplement pills. The bonus was the "extensive" recipe book that came with the Blendtec (I already had smoothies recipes)....and I was pleasantly surprised to see all of the other things you can make with the Blentec....nut butters, soups, desserts, milkshakes, etc. It fits nicely on my kitchen counter and is very easy to operate.
Definitely worth it for greater health.
