Will It Blend?

1560 Watt 13Amp Beast
3Qt BPA Free W/ 4in Blade

For over a year I have heard about the Vitamix and BlendTec mixers. Actually, I heard of "Will it Blend" back in 2008, and watched a few youtube clips. $500 for a blender, no way! But a sale price of $329 along with a few hours of research caused me to finally invest in one. I am a daily smoothy maker and have been blending up smoothies daily for years now in a 1964 Imperial Osterizer 8speed that still works great, but it has a problem with cavitation that results in frequent frustration because of a design flaw and not enough power. This beast should solve that problem, read about why..... 




Enter the cabinet height friendly Total Blender from Blendtec. 



The based model Total Blender with 1560watts is plenty powerful for turning cold rolled flax, banana, ice, and protein powder into a creamy glass of goodness. They actually make and even more powerful 20amp version with 2400watts... and this high output model that costs ~$1000 can blend an iPad.... 



If you blend smoothies or want to turn ice into snow, or grain into power and have an underwhelming blender, then this Blendtec is the tool you have been dreaming of. 



Shop for a sale price: Amazon and Costco often have it going for $369 on sale: perhaps QVC will bring it back again for $329 as todays special value. QVC still has it onsale.


There is a cool show on YouTube called "Will It Blend" where the founder and CEO of Blendtec engineer Tom Dickson puts consumer items like iPhones and iPads into his powerful blenders and renders then into piles of dust.

Read the reviews on Amazon and Costco.com. The owners consistently praise this thing with exuberant zeal and 5 stars reviews scores. A few discenters give it 1 star or 2 stars in the reviews because they add strange mixtures that cause bubble lock formation (not enough liquid/ too much frozen stuff); or because they paid full price and complained about the value...

The Blendtec Total Blender is made in the USA - In Orem Utah, but they stopped saying it was made in the USA on the box because the state of California said they can't say Made in the USA if it contains parts made outside of the US. It is made in the USA, where a few of the parts come from asia.

About Blendtec
Long before the Will It Blend? series exploded on YouTube, Tom Dickson was blending 2x2s with his blenders to determine their capability. As an engineer and inventor, Tom grew up putting big engines in little things.

Back in 1975, Tom’s curiosity came between a vacuum and some spilled wheat kernels. His innate curiosity drove him to revolutionize the home wheat milling industry, taking it from stone grinding to his patented stainless steel milling heads.

Like most inventors, Tom didn’t stop there. He engineered the perfect bread mixer that automatically kneaded the dough, developed the gluten, and turned off when finished.

Tom then developed an ultra-powerful blender, adding a square jar, rather than the conventional round-shaped jar. He continued to enhance the blender and began developing commercial blending machines just as the smoothie era began.

Today, Tom is still inventing and the company continues to expand. Blendtec is now a blender brand leader, serving customers in homes, restaurants, smoothie shops, and coffee shops around the world.
