  • We're going to do a battle of the blenders between the two top brands out there. We have Vitamix vs. Blendtec. We've picked the models for both that are in the same category. The Vitamix A3500 Ascent Series blender, which retails for $549. And the Blendtec Designer 725, which retails for $599.
    My husband Ryan is jumping in on this one - let's see which one blends the best green smoothie!

    FYI: The Vitamix has been around for years but mainly in the home use sector. The Blentec started out in the industrial/hospitality sector and only recently went into the home use sector; hence why the name in the home use isn’t that well known. In industrial settings most unpaid chefs prefer the Blendtec. All Starbucks had Blendtec’s because of their power, ability to truly emulsify, and longevity, but now Vitamix pays Starbucks to use their machine. Both companies warranties are now 3years. The Vitamix has a strong motor at just under 3hp but the Blendtec has a full 3 peak hp motor (that means peak while under load and an equivalence of an electric chainsaw). There is a difference. The Blentec can always sit on your counter underneath the upper cabinets, the Vitamix has to be stored away because it’s to tall to be under typical upper cabinets. Both are amazing machines and you your families will enjoy them.
    Final note: the reason for the blunt blade on the Blendtec is it is the only blade that can not only emulsify anything you put in it but it is the only machine that can emulsify in a way that releases all the enzymes of your food. With sharp blades it can only chop extremely small but cannot release the enzymes which allow your body to absorb your food immediately as you drink it and not just once it’s in your stomach. Hence why most professional sports teams, trainers and Elite athletes use a Blentec. Either way again both machines are amazing.

    Thanks for the video. I used to have a Ninja and I hated washing the jar, cover and blades. The jar and cover had so many nooks and crannies that were hard to get to, and the blades were sharp so you had to be careful to not cut yourself. Operationally, it was also a pain in the butt because the jar has to be locked in and the lid also has to be locked in. I got sick and tired of that. That drove me to want a blender that I could just throw the lid on and throw it on the motor. The Blendtec had those features I was looking for, plus I also really liked the blunt blade feature. Washing it was going to be easy. Costco had them at a great price so I bought one. Five years later, I am still really happy with it. I had considered the Vitamix. I believe they do make the best, most robust blender but they were much more expensive at the time. I notice that Consumer Reports reliability rating is average(?) for Blendtec 725, vs excellent for Vitamix. I have a hunch that the electronic controls are probably the culprit of the issues. The motor and jar assembly, I think, are very robust and I would not expect that to be an issue. So if you are buying a Blendtec, my recommendation would be get the basic one, the 575 which is currently $350 at Costco and includes the Wilde Side Plus jar.

      I agree with you regarding to the Ninja. I hate it too. It doesn’t blend well. I have made smoothies with spinach and afterwards I’ve had to pick out spinach from my teeth. I also hate all those nooks and crannies that the plastic container has. It’s extremely hard to clean and I’m afraid bacteria will develop in those crannies. I will be keeping mine for one year then getting rid of it. I’ll spend the extra money and get either a Blendtec which I had before or get a Vitamix.

The dials and switches would be hard to clean spills etc. Blendtec smooth body is easy to clean in swipe 2) Counterspace seems sort of equal but which one was taking more counter?
    In design.. Vita doesn’t it look like those old Radios from yesteryear and Blendtec like the intro of an iBlender. I’ll give my grandma the Vitamix and my Girlfriend Blendtec.

    I have both. Had the Vitamix 5200 for years and bought a Blentec total blend. Made a smoothie in the Blendtec and thought it was better, then realized that the Blendtec smoothie function blended for 60 seconds. I realized I had not been blending long enough in the Vitamix. I blended a smoothie in the Vitamix for 60 seconds and was amazed that I had not been blending my smoothies long enough. The Vitamix just makes a really smooth smoothie. I freaking love Vitamix blenders. Blentec is still a GREAT option over ninja and other cheap blenders.

    I’ve been a happy Nutribullet (Pro) green smoothie user for a decade almost daily or twice. There’s the odd minor issue but for the price it’s great. I’ve looked at both blenders in this video and may get one day. The video’s still helpful. If/when Nutribullet makes a deal with CZcams/google to be sponsor (official retailer) and channels can then be offered incentives (monetary or otherwise) to do videos around them you’ll suddenly see more videos with them and comments. Same with other great blenders like Ninja etc. There’s a lot choice for users. Competition is good. NB does have a new large 64oz blender useable with hot liquids. I’ve no ties to NB just a fan. Use what works for you.

    Team Blendtec! I owned my Designer 725 for three years now and I don’t regret choosing the Blendtec over the Vitamix. Did my research and decided to go for the Blendtec because of the blunt knives. I prefer to clean my Blendtec with my hands because it saves electricity and I wouldn’t do that with a Vitamix. Nor would I think the sharpness of the Vitamix knives would last for decades. Sharp knives just get blunt, eventually it’s going to happen (even after using it for years). I plan to have my Blendtec for a very long time and I won’t buy a new jar (which costs as much as normal blender that you can buy in the store) unless it gets broken. It’s very well made and does everything I need it to.

Ease of disassembly to clean or replace orings? So many ways to actually do a review on two good machines.

    • @SimpleGreenSmoothies
      @SimpleGreenSmoothies  Před 4 lety

      That's a good question! The base of each is rather heavy because they have such high-powered motors. I'd check out the website for both to see the actual specs. And both Vitamix and Blendtec have many models of blenders so even if one of these wouldn't work for your space constraints, you're sure to find one that does. 😊

    I have owned a Blendtec for 5 years. (it’s at our home in Portugal) . yesterday we purchased a Vitamix from Costco UK (£40 voucher May 2020)
    To be honest I dislike the Vitamix. Why? (i) The huge lid requires two hands to remove (ii) I was irritated by removing non-crushed lumps of ice from my drink (iii) it doesn’t have the (auto-timer) function of the Blendtec. (iv) the square jar of the Blendtec pours without making spillages. The Vitamix jar is a nightmare when pouring frozen beverages
    The Vitamix is going back to Costco and I’m buying a Blendtec for our home in the U.K.

    I'm torn between a basic vitamix (explorian) or a blendtec. Blendtec seems to have lots of reviews saying the motor just randomly shoot sparks out the back and stops working. Also the pitchers are notorious for either leaking or having bearing failure within a few hundred blends.

      When you have high speed, high powered blenders, the noise level will def go up. They compare very closely in that way.

    I don't know why they are saying the blades on the Vitamix are sharp? They aren't. Even in the description they are dull blades. I have both the Vitamix and the Ninja Blender and the Vitamix is completely dull and the Ninja is very sharp! I have cut my fingers a couple times, my lip and tongue cleaning the blades because it's fun till you get cut!
    That Blendtec seems like a very nice machine. I don't get why Vitamix cheeps out on extra features and wants max money for them? Whether my blender has a dial or the finger function I don't really care either way. I am tired of cheap blenders and wanted a good high quality one that will last me many years and I can work on attachments to do more with my blender.
    I had the Ninja Blender for about 3 years and it's been acting a little weird besides cutting myself a couple times and cleaning the Ninja Blender is kind of a pain in the butt because you have to be careful from the sharp blades. So far I am absolutely loving the new Vitamix 2300. Just would have been nice for what I paid it would at least come with a couple extra basic features.

Either way who wants to digest either? I did order another vitamix as mine was out of warranty anyways- I did receive yesterday and the first thing I did was the water test. No specks! I am disappointed in Vitamix but sadly there just isn’t another machine in the market that compares. Trust me, if there was I would of purchased it.

    Does anyone actually consider those blenders to be clean? I mean running soap with dirty water and then pouring it all out isn't clean. Imagine blending up raw meat in there and then just putting some water and soap in it, would you think it was clean? I sure wouldn't. Unless you run that process and remove all the liquid then put fresh clean water in with more soap and do it again, it is still dirty, but looks clean.
