THANK YOU so much for this comparison! After deciding to get a Blendtec I wasn't sure which one to choose. Now, after having seen the different controls, I know which one I want!
Hey Chio Astudillo! The BEST price on the Blendtec Classic is the refurbished one (it's like new, you can't tell the difference!). It's $259 with the four side jar and $279 with the wildside jar (recommended). If you use our links from the video (BlenderBabes.com/Blendtec) or our website, you will receive free shipping AND a free gift! Right now it's a $10 Amazon Gift Card. :D Hope that helps! HAPPY BLENDING!
Having recently acquired a Total Classic, I though there was something wrong with it but after seeing all 4 of these hopping and dancing around at the start of the blend cycle; I'm now relieved. I honestly thought my blender was possessed by demons. Thanks for the demo!
Awesome review!! Very well spoken and presented. You showed your human side when you made a mistake when turning it on (we all make mistakes). You are beautiful and did a wonderful presentation. Thank you!!
Awesome review! I would love to have seen the Stealth blender in operation by itself to get a sense of how much noise dampening there is actually. With the understanding that the Stealth is designed for commercial (i.e. hard daily driver use), If purchasing for "at home" use I would have an issue with a $1500 blender having only a 3 yr warranty while its lesser siblings have 7/8. My Classic came with an 8 yr warranty some years ago.
Thanks Biz Diva! We are going to do a separate Stealth Review soon as we can, it's on the list. Yes the warranty can only be a commercial warranty as it stands now b/c it's actually a commercial blender now available for home use. Shouldn't have a problem but I understand the dilemma! :)
Appreciate the video, but I have to say that it would have been better/less annoying without the random disjointed music dispersed throughout. The sound effects were also childish.
+Hokie007 Glad you appreciated the video and thanks for the feedback regarding the sounds! We're always trying to improve so your comments are noted :) HAPPY BLENDING! XOXO
Hi! Do all the blenders make the same type of smoothie consistency? I get a smoothie from a place that uses the Stealth blender, but not looking to spend $1500! Does the blade / power matter? Or will all smoothies come out the same regardless.
The stealth is more powerful, but if you have 3HP from their Total Blender Classic (Refurbished) for $279 you will have all the power you need! Plus you get free shipping and a $20 Amazon Gift Card when buying from Blender Babes! Learn more at blenderbabes dot com / how-to-order :)
Catherine Miura The Signature has now been discontinued! You get the same body style with the new Classic models, however the original classic has more features than the new versions.
Hi I live all the way away in Ireland!! Unfortunately this is a problem as I would love to own a Vitamix Pro series 750 or Blendtec Designer 725 but I cannot get them through either company directly as they don't deliver to Ireland. Amazon dealers and other 3rd parties don't deliver either. Can you help??? I was thinking or the Optimum 9400 blender. Have you an opinion on that versus the BT and VM? Tx
+MaicoMoon Sorry!! We plan to do a separate Stealth Review. You have the decibel difference - it's quite drastic. You can literally have a conversation next to it. :) Thanks for watching!
Are these blenders good for someone who wants to make a smoothie every day as well as making almond milk and some other stuff occasionally. I'm looking for a blender that's not going to wear out very fast especially if I spend $400+ on it.
You found the right blender! These blenders are commercial grade and meant to last for 15+ years! My personal use one has over 2000 blends on it and I make a smoothie every day, plus lots of milk substitutes. The best deal is on their reconditioned blenders, you get free shipping plus a $20 Amazon Gift Card! Check out our website for more info. :)
Does the jug have any safety feature like locking in place and is there a lot of play (rotating) in the base seated position? So if a child rocked the jug while running can it damage the gear cog?
Great question Glenn. The jug does not lock into the place (like the Ninja). It plugs directly into the motor (direct drive) which is why it is able to get so much more power than other blenders. There is some slight rotation/play but we find it's less than the Vitamix jar in seated position when running. Yes, if a child rocked the jug while it was running, you might strip or damage the gear. HAPPY BLENDING! ~Blender Babes
Thank you for the review. Really well presented. I dont like the background video though :) You were a great help to compare different devices. You are so lucky in the US. Here in Europe the prices are double and only very limited models are offered. Besides.... the US model doesnt work in Europe due to 220-240V at 50Hz power grid were in the US you run 120V power usage. Any suggestion were to buy Blendtec in Europe, e.g. UK or Germany? Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback plumi75! Yes we've heard they are much more expensive in Europe when you have to purchase the 220v. We know some people have tried using a transformer and the 120v model, however this is not recommended by Blendtec. Sorry! Wish we could be more help. :-/
For people in realville, that have 18" high upper cabinets, the main benefit of the Blendtec over Vitamix is the height. The convenience of keeping the blender on the countertop makes the Blendtec an every day practical unit. You do not need dozens of predefined speeds. It only takes a few weeks to master the speed for all that you will do with the blender. The blender may do a 1,000 different things but 99.999% will use this blender for 3 or 4 things...99.999% of the time. So paying for all the software is not something a veteran Blendtec user would do. Paying for the tall silent unit would mean pulling it out to the front of the countertop to lift the lid. The enclosure lifts up which works in commercial environments but not so practical in your kitchen. If the blender is a pain to use, you will not use it. The classic is simple and has all the power you need. My classic has been used everyday for 11 years and is showing no wear and tear. The sound is a problem but wearing your own ear protection is the "keep it simple solution"
I have the Classic and use The Wide Side Jar. I would like to have a little to go 16 or 18 Oz blender glass like Vita mix but I don’t want the Vita mix
Hi I mentioned earlier that I was interested in buying a VM or BT blender but live in Ireland... I thought I could get it delivered to a friends address and pay for its shipping to Ireland. I was in touch with both companies to get the dimensions and weigth or both products but I haven't heard back from them. Would you happen to know the dimensions and weight of the Vitamix Pro series 750 package and the that of the Blendtec Designer 725 so I can estimate postage costs??? Tx F
Great review, however, the one thing you didn't discuss, was size. It's important to know height specifically for clearance. Perhaps you could do that?
Great question Yodaismycopilot! Sorry we missed this and for the delay! The pulse speed can be adjusted on the Stealth and the newest Designer 725 model, but not the 3 other models in this comparison. The PULSE speed for those is high, but you can adjust it by how lightly and how long you tap it.
Hi Audrey and WELCOME! :) The Designer performs the same as the Classic, for lots of nut butters in a Blendtec you will want the Twister Jar! Watch this video :) Peanut butter and other Nut Butters - Blendtec Vs Vitamix - The Blender Babe Reviews
Totally understand - Audrey you can still make nut butter in the blendtec regular jar, it's just slower than Vitamix when it comes to nut butters, unless you have the Twister Jar, which trumps both Vitamix and the Blendtec Fourside/Wildside jars by MINUTES! :) It's awesome.
I saw! It was incredible. When I get my taxes I'm going for the Blendtec. I can wait the extra minutes nut butter. I'm going to be grateful just for getting the blender!! lol. ;)
Audrey DeMerse You will LOVE it!!! :) Be sure to use a link from our website to get free shipping as well as the $25 free gift to iTrain Fitness from Blender Babes. :)
Thanks for the awesome review. Speed 9 wounds way louder on the classic than the Designer. I hate how loud the blendtecs get after speed 8, it's just insane you need to wear ear muffs.
LOL *****! Yes, the noise it the only other con of these blenders aside from price!! The newest Designer 725 it MORE powerful, but is actually even quieter. :) We are working on a Designer Comparison review to break down all the similarities and differences. :) STAY TUNED and HAPPY BLENDING!
Yes basically Blendtec diversified the Signature into multiple "Classic" models with the same updated design and motor power but with fewer presets and speeds. I did find one on amazon though! amzn.to/2Mn3R94
Please check your closed caption wording. Blender is spelled Blunder. You might want to check the rest of the closed captioned wording for mistakes. Your video was very helpful though. The best out there.
I had a ninja, it sucked. At my job there is a blendtec which is powerful and does make smooth smoothies, but I decided to go with a vitamix and I'm so happy I did. Vitamixes are so much more versatile. Mine was $500 because $1000 is getting a little ridiculous. I definitely like it more than the blendtec. The tamper stick makes a big difference.
+Happily Vegan Yes, I agree with you that the tamper makes a big difference, in that you are manually assisting a blender that has a price tag in which you should not have to manually assist. As far your claim that your Vitamix is "more versatile", that is complete BS. Vitamix is far better than ANY average blender out there. However, when the Vitamix is compared to Blendtec, the Vitamix is laughable. Their antiquated design, from the jar, to their blade assembly, to their impractical shape and dimensions that bar it from fitting under most cabinets, leave Vitamix competing with average blenders, rather than competing with Blendtec. The Blendtec does everything a Vitamix can do, and run circles around it. Even Vitamix knows that their product is inferior, which was proven when they tried to copy Blendtec's designs, and it resulted in the largest patent infringement in the state of Utah, at a whopping $33 million.
+Not Sure it's funny that people get so worked up over blenders, but all I know is that using a blendtec for a year vs a vitamix for a year, would take the vitamix every time. blendtec was inferior in my experience. im really not trying to be rude but I'm sure you will take this the wrong way anyway simply because this is on the internet but.... if a person is too lazy to use a tamper stick because they think the amount they pay should make the entire task effortless on their part then that is ridiculous and lazy.
+Happily Vegan The reason they get so worked up and angry is because they know how much more practical the vitamix is than the blendtec. They both give you the same results, however, with the vitamix's included tamper you can do much more.
+T Sheikh Not sure about the decibal comparison with Vitamix, but some of the Blendtecs have potential to be louder (at least at peak power), as some of the Blendtecs have more HP than some Vitamixes. However, their is no comparison on performance with Vitamix, as Blendtec has much better performance and is much easier to clean, scoop thicker ingredients out of, etc.
Vs? It would have been helpful if you had blended them all separately. The only reason I clicked this video was to see the stealth in action vs the other models. Can't tell the difference when they're all going at once :(
Thanks for the feedback penguin6636 - we were really trying to explain all the similarities and differences. We will get a video up soon that shows the decibel difference! :)
Hi, John! Yes! You can make soup with the Blendtec 600. You would use the 90 second cycle to make your soup, usually 2-3x to make it nice and hot! The Blendtec 600 is available only at Costco. The Designer Series are all touchscreen - and both 100% automatic (stop by themselves). They both also have 4 Pre-Preprogrammed cycles. Blendtec 625 - Smoothie, Ice Cream, Whole Juice, Hot Soup and 6-speed capacitive touch slider. Blendtec 600 - Smoothie, 60-seconds, 90-seconds, 180-seconds and a capacitive touch slider + pulse If your on the market for another blender, here are a few Blendtec’s currently on sale. www.blenderbabes.com/blendtec Remember to forward your purchase confirmation email from Blendtec to freegift@blenderbabes.com to redeem your free gifts from us. :)
that bep bep richie is kind of funy , but anyway for your very first video is wonderful job, i can see the evolution.. gorgeous at the pass of time !!!
Rafael Ferreira unfortunately we didn't have a Professional Series to compare, but that's a GREAT Blendtec Blender, more powerful than the Stealth! Hoping to get one soon to write a full review. :)
went from blenderbabes d c forward slash blendtec. Not only didn't it give me free shipping, when I called CSR at Blendtec she basically told me I was an idiot. So, unfortunately I don't know that I'll be buying from them unless you guys can make it right.
Hey Joelle! We replied to your email a few days ago before you sent us this message. We are so sorry! There was a glitch in the links for the past several days, but it's finally fixed now.

We will talk to Blendtec about their CSR as well… THANK YOU SO MUCH! ~Blender Babe Tarashaun
Hello there! Go ahead and follow the link in the video. We didn't put the price in case it changes over time :) You can also get the Classic or Designer refurbished which will save you $$. HAPPY BLENDING!
Are these realistic tests? You don't even bring the cost of the hi end blenders into account. How many people can afford a $1100 professional blender? Why do we always have to be so class conscious in our comparisons!? The question is do you get a slightly smoother blend at 3x the price? Perhaps, but is that a realistic comparison for the average consumer? I purchased the blendtec and Oster Versa 1100 the blendtec was 3.5 times the cost not 3.5 times better by a long shot. The point is a commercial kitchen or company testers can justify these costs based on return on investment, or the fact that they get them for free but not the average consumer.
Ardeshir Lashkary Those are good points. We always recommend the Blendtec original Total Blender Classic and Designer that are certified refurbished (and discontinued) b/c they are the best possible price of any Blendtec model. See here www.blenderbabes.com/all-refurbished-blendtec. We also offer free shipping plus a free gift with promo code BBGIFT. We shared this video to explain the similarities and differences. The stealth is now sold as a home version (not commercial) which has an 8 year warranty and is $999. Some people require the no noise factor. We do think with the warranty and quality that it's worth the price over lesser quality blends (such as the Oster Versa 1100) that can't do all the things we want our blenders to do or that well. If you are happy with your purchase however, more power to you! We are just here to help you find the best blender for your needs. HAPPY BLENDING! :)
I own one and I can tell you it 's a well made machine that will take care of most people's needs. Anybody can make a good blender at a cost of $500-600 the trick is to make a blender at high quality and reasonable cost. Unless your selling blenders to IPO sucking millennials. FYI here is a review: www.cnet.com/products/oster-versa-performance-blender/ And the warranty is 7 years.
The motor underneath lets off a slight smell and it's a little loud ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCKuMxLnvr6fJd_M4SE-n7trcGj3zEUHq but considering it's size and how hard it works to do the job, it's sort of expected. I assume the smell will go away over time. Overall, I love this cute little blender. The extra cups and lids are great too!
I bought my Blendtec 570 blender here. They ship internationally. The order arrives quickly :) www.zenorganichealth.com.au/shop/blendtec-classic-570-blender/
scpumpchump The Bledtec's are lighter blenders than most, the Classic & Signature are only 6 pounds and the Designer is 8. If there's a ton of ice, frozen fruit, or hard veggies like carrots they will move around a bit on a countertop initially until they've broken down the ingredients a bit. I usually hold it for the first few seconds then let it be. :)
The Vitamix is much quieter, has a stronger motor and is so simple to use compared to the not-user-friendly Total Blender Classic, which has these ridiculously complex "Programs" that I never used during the entire time that I owned it. I also had to replace the jar (very expensive) because it had rust inside the base of the blade assembly, which was supposed to be a sealed unit (how moisture got inside, I have no idea). Finally, very poor customer service at Blendtec, when I had to replace the jar (it was out of warranty, even though it was obviously a defect). Buy a Vitamix instead! I love my Vitamix! It is the best blender in the world, hands down.
+Randy NoLastName Very interesting and thorough comparison test, thanks for sharing with us and our blender loving community!! Sounds like your Vitamix smoothie needed a little help from the tamper ;) That's our favorite thing about Blendtec, presets that don't need "help" (very often). HAPPY BLENDING!!
THANK YOU so much for this comparison! After deciding to get a Blendtec I wasn't sure which one to choose. Now, after having seen the different controls, I know which one I want!
SO HAPPY TO HEAR IT and WELCOME!! Which one will work best for you Trish? :)
I'm Watching a video about blenders on a friday night. Turn up.
Great review thank you. Where do you suggest buying the classic?
Hey Chio Astudillo! The BEST price on the Blendtec Classic is the refurbished one (it's like new, you can't tell the difference!). It's $259 with the four side jar and $279 with the wildside jar (recommended).

Have you uploaded the review video for the Stealth? I'm having a hard time finding it.
WOW thanks for making this! First time I see the signature in action.
For the classic, you can actually press and hold the speed up and speed down buttons; you don't have to make a separate "press" for each speed.
Thank you

Great review, however, the one thing you didn't discuss, was size. It's important to know height specifically for clearance. Perhaps you could do that?
All the blendtecs are 15" tall except the Pro 800 which is 17.3 inches. Hope that helps! :)
Is the "pulse" always the same speed? Or can it be adjusted? If not, what speed is "pulse?" Thanks!
Great question Yodaismycopilot! Sorry we missed this and for the delay! The pulse speed can be adjusted on the Stealth and the newest Designer 725 model, but not the 3 other models in this comparison. The PULSE speed for those is high, but you can adjust it by how lightly and how long you tap it.
Are the Master Kill Switches reliable?
I’ve never had a problem with them. Not all models have them though.
Why didn't you run the Stealth separately so we could hear the volume difference?
Hello! How well does the designer series make nut butters? I'm debating on which blender I want. The Blendtec or Vitamix. Thanks so much!!
Hi Audrey and WELCOME! :) The Designer performs the same as the Classic, for lots of nut butters in a Blendtec you will want the Twister Jar! Watch this video :) Peanut butter and other Nut Butters - Blendtec Vs Vitamix - The Blender Babe Reviews
Thank you for your quick response. That stinks. I wish I didn't have to buy a separate jar. Thanks again. :)
Totally understand - Audrey you can still make nut butter in the blendtec regular jar, it's just slower than Vitamix when it comes to nut butters, unless you have the Twister Jar, which trumps both Vitamix and the Blendtec Fourside/Wildside jars by MINUTES! :) It's awesome.

Correction the Classic OG Blendtec is 92db!
god the sound effects and music are incredibly annoying.
Sorry you feel that way. We felt it was pretty long and boring without it. BEST WISHES!!
By the way which one will you recommend for cabbage juice with carrot celery and 🍐
Any of them can pulverize cabbage, carrot and celery it's whichever is best for your budget and design you prefer. :)
Hi I’m a bit disappointed that the Signiature was discontinued. Looked like a really good blender.
Yes basically Blendtec diversified the Signature into multiple "Classic" models with the same updated design and motor power but with fewer presets and speeds. I did find one on amazon though! amzn.to/2Mn3R94
I used to have the signature series but it broke and blendtec told me that it was not in there warranty
I wonder which Blender is more quiet Stealth of the Quiet one. I heard the quiet one is the quietest in commercial use.
I would have to find out and compare the noise decibels of the Quiet. :) It can change depending on what is blended as well.
The Stealth is supposed to be the quietest commercial blender on the market right now. The Quiet One may have been until the Stealth came out.
Please check your closed caption wording. Blender is spelled Blunder. You might want to check the rest of the closed captioned wording for mistakes. Your video was very helpful though. The best out there.
+Lee Robin Thank you! We will look into it :) appreciate the feedback xoxo
This is a fantastic video! But, IMHO I would really lay back on all the random music and sound effects. But thanks for the hard work!

How many decibels are Vitamix blenders?

However, their is no comparison on performance with Vitamix, as Blendtec has much better performance and is much easier to clean, scoop thicker ingredients out of, etc.
Please give her a hair tie! Omg!
right lol
what the hell is wrong with the background music?
LOL! Ch3aBy this is our first video where we didn't do voice over. Our video guy thought it was cool - but apparently not! haha! :D
***** Definitely not. Does he have ADHD? It was jumping from classical, oriental, techno in random orders and time periods. So weird.
Umm, the music was changing per blender, as if each blender has its own theme song. Was this not obvious?
Vs? It would have been helpful if you had blended them all separately. The only reason I clicked this video was to see the stealth in action vs the other models. Can't tell the difference when they're all going at once :(
Thanks for the feedback penguin6636 - we were really trying to explain all the similarities and differences. We will get a video up soon that shows the decibel difference! :)
I have a Blendtec Designer 600 how does it differ from the 625 and can I make soup?
Hi, John!
Yes! You can make soup with the Blendtec 600. You would use the 90 second cycle to make your soup, usually 2-3x to make it nice and hot!
The Blendtec 600 is available only at Costco. The Designer Series are all touchscreen - and both 100% automatic (stop by themselves).
They both also have 4 Pre-Preprogrammed cycles.
Blendtec 625 - Smoothie, Ice Cream, Whole Juice, Hot Soup and 6-speed capacitive touch slider. Blendtec 600 - Smoothie, 60-seconds, 90-seconds, 180-seconds and a capacitive touch slider + pulse
If your on the market for another blender, here are a few Blendtec’s currently on sale. www.blenderbabes.com/blendtec

Thanks, Ivan!
I can't find any blendtec dealer here in Philippines. :(
What about the professional Series?
Rafael Ferreira unfortunately we didn't have a Professional Series to compare, but that's a GREAT Blendtec Blender, more powerful than the Stealth! Hoping to get one soon to write a full review. :)
went from blenderbabes d c forward slash blendtec. Not only didn't it give me free shipping, when I called CSR at Blendtec she basically told me I was an idiot. So, unfortunately I don't know that I'll be buying from them unless you guys can make it right.

We will talk to Blendtec about their CSR as well… THANK YOU SO MUCH! ~Blender Babe Tarashaun
I wanna know how much each cost
Hello there! Go ahead and follow the link in the video. We didn't put the price in case it changes over time :) You can also get the Classic or Designer refurbished which will save you $$. HAPPY BLENDING!
ok
Are these realistic tests? You don't even bring the cost of the hi end blenders into account. How many people can afford a $1100 professional blender? Why do we always have to be so class conscious in our comparisons!? The question is do you get a slightly smoother blend at 3x the price? Perhaps, but is that a realistic comparison for the average consumer? I purchased the blendtec and Oster Versa 1100 the blendtec was 3.5 times the cost not 3.5 times better by a long shot. The point is a commercial kitchen or company testers can justify these costs based on return on investment, or the fact that they get them for free but not the average consumer.
Ardeshir Lashkary Those are good points. We always recommend the Blendtec original Total Blender Classic and Designer that are certified refurbished (and discontinued) b/c they are the best possible price of any Blendtec model. See here www.blenderbabes.com/all-refurbished-blendtec. We also offer free shipping plus a free gift with promo code BBGIFT. We shared this video to explain the similarities and differences. The stealth is now sold as a home version (not commercial) which has an 8 year warranty and is $999. Some people require the no noise factor. We do think with the warranty and quality that it's worth the price over lesser quality blends (such as the Oster Versa 1100) that can't do all the things we want our blenders to do or that well. If you are happy with your purchase however, more power to you! We are just here to help you find the best blender for your needs. HAPPY BLENDING! :)
I own one and I can tell you it 's a well made machine that will take care of most people's needs. Anybody can make a good blender at a cost of $500-600 the trick is to make a blender at high quality and reasonable cost. Unless your selling blenders to IPO sucking millennials.
FYI here is a review:
www.cnet.com/products/oster-versa-performance-blender/
And the warranty is 7 years.
Awesome review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The motor underneath lets off a slight smell and it's a little loud ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxCKuMxLnvr6fJd_M4SE-n7trcGj3zEUHq but considering it's size and how hard it works to do the job, it's sort of expected. I assume the smell will go away over time. Overall, I love this cute little blender. The extra cups and lids are great too!
is it work in 220v
Samar Abdulla Hi! Yes Blendtec makes 220V blenders but you have to buy them from the Blendtec dealer in your country 😊
Samar Abdulla you can buy 220v from Blendtec (in the USA). Call them. We bought a 220v model and shipped it to family in New Zealand.
The sound effects are SO annoying.
Haha!! :) Yeah… one of our first speaking/review videos. Trying stuff out! Thanks for the feedback, we appreciate it!
Great review.
+pablo avisa Thanks Pablo!
Very helpful
So happy you found this review helpful! Please let me know if you have any questions about these blenders. Happy Blending XOXO
Badass Blenders.
I bought my Blendtec 570 blender here. They ship internationally. The order arrives quickly :)

Hi, Rose! I'm happy you were able to get your Blendtec. Happy Blending, Enjoy!
6:51!!! :D
Blenders do not hold well to the base or the table. Appear to be bouncing all over.
scpumpchump The Bledtec's are lighter blenders than most, the Classic & Signature are only 6 pounds and the Designer is 8. If there's a ton of ice, frozen fruit, or hard veggies like carrots they will move around a bit on a countertop initially until they've broken down the ingredients a bit. I usually hold it for the first few seconds then let it be. :)
The Vitamix is much quieter, has a stronger motor and is so simple to use compared to the not-user-friendly Total Blender Classic, which has these ridiculously complex "Programs" that I never used during the entire time that I owned it. I also had to replace the jar (very expensive) because it had rust inside the base of the blade assembly, which was supposed to be a sealed unit (how moisture got inside, I have no idea). Finally, very poor customer service at Blendtec, when I had to replace the jar (it was out of warranty, even though it was obviously a defect).
Buy a Vitamix instead! I love my Vitamix! It is the best blender in the world, hands down.
+Randy NoLastName Very interesting and thorough comparison test, thanks for sharing with us and our blender loving community!! Sounds like your Vitamix smoothie needed a little help from the tamper ;) That's our favorite thing about Blendtec, presets that don't need "help" (very often). HAPPY BLENDING!!
