The Battle Between Vitamix vs Blendtec Reviews

In the world of professional-grade blenders, Blendtec Total Blender and Vitamix are probably the most well known names on the market and the battle of Vitamix vs Blendtec rages on. They both are known for the reliability and the power of their machines, and consumers and reviewers absolutely rave about their products. But who is the better of the two? Well, we won't make that decision for you, but here's some information comparing the two best blenders, so you can make it yourself.

Both of these companies make high-tech blenders that outperform every other manufacturer. Here are two of the high-tech features that these blenders have. Think about which one would be most beneficial to your kitchen!

Blendtec-these blenders usually come with an LCD display that has touch pad controls. The great thing about Blendtec is that they preprogram their controls in a really unique way. With other blenders, you have to guess what setting is best for the food you are trying to blend. With Blendtec products, however, all you have to do is push one button. Blendtec blenders blend certain items at varying speeds throughout the blending process. By pressing one button, you're actually pressing about ten and putting them in a logical order! It's a great feature if you're not familiar with blender settings and the results that they produce.

Vitamix-have you ever worked an appliance so hard that it just didn't seem to perform as vigorously as before? You don't have to worry about this with Vitamix blenders. Vitamix has given their blenders an overload protection feature. If the blender gets close to overloading or overheating, it will automatically shut off. You just have to wait about 5 to 10 minutes before using it again, and then it's working as well as ever.

Versatility of Vitamix vs Blendtec

There are so many uses for blenders! Here's what we have to say about the versatility of both Blendtec products and Vitamix products.

Vitamix-this blender can replace up to ten kitchen appliances that you may already own! This is because it has the capability to perform a vast amount of tasks. Say goodbye to your food processor, your food chopper, smoothie maker and other appliances, because these blenders do it all! When blending wet and dry ingredients, though, you need separate pitchers for both jobs. This may be seen as an inconvenience because you may have to purchase an extra carafe.

Blendtec-like the Vitamix blenders, Blendtec also combines the functions of many other household appliances. Unlike the Vitamix, however, you do not need separate pitchers for blending wet and dry foods.

Getting them clean - Vitamix vs Blendtec

Doing dishes is definitely not the most fun task in the world. And with blender pitchers being so awkwardly shaped, it appears to be difficult to clean these machines. Think again though! Here's the dirt on how to clean these machines.

Blendtec-the Blendtec carafe is square and the blades are two prong which makes scraping and cleaning simple. Because of the sleek shape of the Blendtec machines, most of your food pours out easily, which means there is less to clean up. Not only that, but reaching the bottom of the pitcher is must easier than it is with other blenders.

Vitamix-the Vita-mix blender has four pronged blades, which sometimes get in the way when cleaning. However, if you add soap and water into the pitcher and turn it on, the blades make a great, foamy concoction that cleans every crevice of the blender. It takes less than a minute to do this!
