Blendtec Total Blender Review

In this Blendtec Total Blender review, we’ll take a closer look at this best-selling appliance. To be sure, the Blendtec Total Blender is nothing short of a beast and the power behind this machine is unbelievable.

Blendtec Total Blender Review – The Best Blender?

The Blendtec Total Blender combines the best of commercial-grade quality with multiple blend cycles, impressive power, and multi-tasking functionality.

The Total Blender has six pre-programmed blend cycles and a manual speed control which ranges from housewife stirring cake batter to Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  Put bluntly, 13 amps and 1560 watts of power adds up to a lot of mixing ability.

In addition, the steel blades which do all the work are incredibly strong and powerful. Weighing in at 7 pounds, the blender is made of “solid-state electronics,” which are much more reliable than vacuum based machinery, and the Blendtec Total Blender has a direct-drive motor which delivers all the power behind the blades.

Perhaps my favorite thing about the Blendtec Total Blender though is the interface.  The front of the base has an LCD screen which shows the setting at which the blender is running, and it warns you if the machine is about to go into overload.

The touchpad where you select a blend cycle or speed is also extremely easy to use: the labels are big and clear and the touch pad has just the right pressure sensitivity so that you don’t accidentally brush “grate” with your thumb when you meant to choose “dips.”

The Blendtec Total Blender comes with not only an owner’s manual, but a recipe book for the culinary deficient, which made me smile and gives me hope for cooking yet.  It also has a three year warranty in case you find something that this blender really can’t handle (although I doubt it).

Blendtec Total Blender – Final Thoughts

All in all, the Blendtec Total Blender gets my highest recommendation.  While not cheap, you truly get what you pay for in this case and I have a feeling this machine is going to last me at least as long as my avocado-green refrigerator.
