So many people have been raving about the Blendtec Blender, so we decided to investigate what it has to offer. The Blendtec Total Blender is perfect for home use because you can blend anything you can think of to make great tasting fresh foods with ease.

In order to prove its incredible blending power, Blendtec representative Tom Dickson has blended some crazy things on the Will It Blend? website. Tom uses the Blendtec Total Blender (Home Edition) to answer the question: “Will It Blend?” Some of the items that have been blended through the Blendtec Blender are: the Apple iPhone, a camcorder, golf balls, and marbles… need I say more? Of course you would not need to blend these items, but just knowing the fact that it is capable of turning them all into a fine powder is enough to want one for your own. (Don’t try this at home!) Imagine how easy it would be to blend your food if it can reduce your iPhone to metal slivers and dust!

Don’t let the price scare you - it’s totally worth it. Just think of all the things you can make and how it would be made perfectly with barely any effort. Saving time is definitely a strong selling point for us.

The Blendtec Total Blender comes with their exclusive Smart-Touch technology, which means when a cycle button is pushed, the Blendtec Total Blender automatically speeds up and slows down, then shuts off when the cycle is complete, so recipes turn out perfect every time. Tired of your blender not being able to crush ice?

The Magic Bullet claims to be a quick solution to mincing, dicing, frapping, mixing. You simply press down on the lid and the blade at the base spins. The Magic Bullet has nowhere near the power of the Blendtec Blender. The Blendtec Total Blender has so much power (1500 Watts) it turns ice to snow and actually comes with an Ice-Crushing Guarantee.

The Blendtec Total Blender is an all-in-one appliance that makes smoothies, fresh juice, ice cream, milkshakes, cappuccinos, margaritas, soups, sauces, breads, dressings, salsas and more. It replaces up to 9 other appliances with one fast easy-to-use machine, at a fraction of the cost. Now, for all of the ice cream lovers you can make your own creations. With the smart touch technology all it takes is a touch of a button and it will do all the work for you. When you have kids or guest over, you can dazzle them with fresh smoothies, dips, or any other great entertainment foods. There are so many heart-healthy meals you can make. Some ideas are: juices, smoothies, batter, sauces, dips, dressings, spreads, soups, syrups, and mixed drinks, to name a few – this blender does everything. It also helps you make bread! Plus, they send you resources on great recipe ideas so you will have a ton of new ideas for your new blender.

The downside of the Magic Bullet Blender is that it really only serves one person at a time. Its mugs are about 14 fluid ounces (a little bigger than can of soda). The Blendtec Blender is able to do much more with a 64 oz jar.

Blendtec Blender includes: blender motor base, 64-ounce jar, lid, user guides, and a recipe book with over 100 recipes to get you started. You also get a 3-year warranty on motor base and 1-year on jar and lifetime warranty on coupling and blade if you are a US resident.

You can expect the Magic Bullet to last for just three years if you clean it regularly and never run it more than one minute solid, per the instructions. If you are looking for a powerful, long-lasting blender, the Blendtec Blender should be at the top of your list instead.
