Performance, Design and Functionality

When you see a Blendtec blender in action, it’s only half the story. Every single component has been designed, redesigned, sweated over, tested, retested and put through the most rigorous paces you could imagine. And every smallest detail has a specific purpose and story of its own.  Below is a short list of what makes Blendtec blenders so good – over time you’ll notice many more features that your Blendtec blender has to make your daily blends even more enjoyable.

 

EASY-CLEAN JAR

Gives you a perfectly smooth blend, every time.

Our patented, five-sided jar design automatically pulls ingredients toward the blade thanks to the unique square design that disrupts the blending flow. Instead of ingredients spinning around in a circle like they would in a round jar, they hit the flat side of the jar. Inertia then carries the fruit, ice, and anything else in the mix up the side of the jar until they reach the top of the mix. At this point, they turn around and head back down, right into the business end of the blades. No tamper needed.

 

Only Blendtec’s blades can harness the awesome power of a Blendtec motor.

DURABLE SAFETY BLADE

Blendtec blades are made of cold-forged hardened steel and are up to 80% thicker and 10 times stronger than other blender blades. They’re also blunt instead of sharp. Why? With a blade that spins over 300 miles per hour, it doesn’t need to be sharp to get the job done. Instead of chipping away at ice and frozen fruit with sharp edges, the large, blunt design pulverises virtually anything. And it’s completely safe to clean, too.

One of the reasons Blendtec blades can pulverise just about anything is that their patented vertical wingtips and precision angles transfer more power than other blades. Plus, the distinct single-blade design allows your ingredients to fall easily in front of and behind the blade, rather than pushing ingredients away from the blending vortex.

Blendtec’s incredible blenders are known for their power. If you’re not familiar with Blendtec’s raw power, just watch any Will It Blend? video, and you’ll see what we mean. But if a powerful motor is the heart of every Blendtec blender, then the jar is the soul.

 

SIMPLE TOUCH INTERFACE

Modern touch controls enable walk-away blending.

Blendtec blenders feature modern touch controls that not only look great, but make everything from blending to cleanup easier than ever. No more baby-sitting your blender–create the perfect blends every time with a single touch.

Blendtec blenders feature a digital display that tells you just how long to wait until your blend is done.

ULTRA HIGH-SPEED MOTOR

Up for any task. Blendtec blenders feature the industry’s most powerful motors, providing the same commercial strength and quality you’d find in your favourite smoothie shop or restaurant. Our motors can blend even the toughest ingredients, like ice, frozen fruit, and raw veggies, to a perfectly smooth consistency without skipping a beat.

CURVES IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES

When you set out your Blendtec jar to dry, you’ll get some extra help from gravity. Its curved bottom and drain holes make air-drying much more effective, which extends the life of your jar.

EASY CLEAN INTERFACE

Blendtec blenders are smooth all around—from the sides of the housing to the electronic controls.  The sleek, flat design is super easy to clean.

So cleanup is as simple as a wipe or two should you spill something.

Plus, control areas are sealed and protected from liquids.

POWER

When it comes to making milkshakes, ice cream, fruit smoothies, peanut butter and other thick blends, you’ll appreciate the extra power Blendtec offers. 

So what makes a Blendtec blender so powerful? It’s all in the motor.  Place our motor next to one from a low-powered blender (even ones that “claim” the same wattage), and it’s easy to see which one would win a fight. Our commercial-grade motors are rated at true 1560 watts & 1800 watts and designed for even more than that to offer superior heat dissipation.

We also cool the motor using a specially designed seven-bladed fan. The fan blades are unevenly sized and spaced, eliminating the resonance effects (which create a loud noise) common in standard fans. This allows us to keep the motor cool with a minimum of fan noise.

In contrast to the bronze bushings used in most low-power blenders we use bearings as these are quieter, allow for higher speeds, and provide longer life.

Smoothie bars love Blendtec not just for their reliability, but because the smoothies Blendtec create brings repeat business.  Our superior motor performance coupled with the safety blade and flat jar side design is an unbeatable combination.

EASY TO CLEAN, EASY TO USE

If you’ve ever used a standard blender jar, you know it can be a pain to clean – especially around the grooves and under the blade. Blendtec’s flat-sided jars aren’t just superstars at blending. They’re also super easy to clean!

The flat sides make it simple to scrape out remaining ingredients, and the broad single-blade design allows you to get underneath the blade for any remaining particles. No disassembly required—plus, Blendtec jars are dishwasher safe.

 

Wenige Dinge sind einfacher als die Reinigung eines Blendtec Behälters

 

Few things are simpler than cleaning a Blendtec jar.

Blendtec’s FourSide and WildSide+ jars are stackable, saving space and making storage a snap.

EASY TO STACK, EASY TO STORE

Blendtec jars are designed to be stackable, making storage a snap. We initially offered our stackable jars to the commercial market, where counter space is tremendously valuable. But we recognised that home users also value their counter space, so we introduced our space-saving jars in our consumer packages.

We also discovered that stacked jars can get wedged together so tightly that they are hard to separate. So we added “winglets” to the outside corners of our jars, which prevents wedging and ensures you can separate your jars easily, every time.

STEEL-ON-STEEL POWER

In a Blendtec blender, the power is transferred directly from the motor to the blade. All the intervening parts are steel and machined for a precision fit. This steel-on-steel approach results in lower vibration, reduced noise, and increased reliability.

In nearly all other blenders, the power goes from the motor through a breakable plastic coupling. The coupling is designed to break if the motor overloads, in order to protect the motor. Unfortunately, this design also limits blending power and decreases the life of the coupling.

A Blendtec blender, on the other hand, automatically detects an overload condition and shuts down, eliminating the need for a breakable plastic coupling.

Have you ever noticed whether your blender has a breakable plastic coupling? If so, now you know why!

Klinge

 

Blendtec jars have vented gripper lids, allowing hot air to escape and making it easy to add ingredients mid-blend.

THE LID THAT DOESN’T GET IN THE WAY

A lid needs to do much more than just keep the blend inside the jar, particularly when it comes to blending hot soups, when heated air creates pressure against the sealed lid. So we created a removable vent to allow the steam to escape while blending.

And then we thought, “If the vent lets steam come out, why can’t the vent also let ingredients to come in?” So we added openings that do just that.

Now you can add ingredients on the fly without even removing the lid.

It’s the ultimate convenience!

SAFE TO USE, EASY TO READ

Blendtec jars are made from durable Eastman Tritan™ copolyester. The jars are also BPA free and certified to the NSF standard for food safety in the kitchen. Plus, the material is uniquely formulated for an extra-long life.

Additionally, high-contrast, easy-to-read measuring marks (for cups, ounces, milliliters, and centiliters) are included on Blendtec’s jars to help you add just the right amounts of ingredients
