Blender competition is at an all-time high with new products coming into the market like crazy. Truth be told, it can actually be hard to keep up with all of it, since you actually have better things to do than just keep on searching for blenders and their qualities and differences. In this article, we are going to look at Blendtec and Vitamix, so we can tell who’s boss when you’re making your smoothies.
A Comparison Between Vitamix and Blendtec
When it comes to power, both of these blenders are complete beats that could easily chop off your broccoli without a lot of work on your end. But then again, that takes the fun away from it, doesn’t it? Vitamix gets really impressive when it comes to the quality of their products, since they do have blenders with a peak power of 2 horses. This is impressive since we’re talking about a blender, but in order to get that much out of the blender, you’d need to throw in a rock. Blendtec is also impressive with a massive power of 1560 watts ready to chop of your veggies into pieces. At the top of the company’s power, they have blenders peaking at 3.8 horsepower.
Both blenders are extremely easy to handle, with simple speeds displayed, easily understandable buttons and icons, and cycle settings. Both of them are also very easy to clean, you won’t have to spend hours scrubbing the corners to get the last bit of smoothie out, in fact, you can easily clean them both in a matter of minutes if you don’t try to blend chewing gum and glitter. In fact these babies can clean themselves up if you give them a little warm water and soap. The Vitamix blender takes a little longer than the Blendtec one, but that’s ok, neither take a single minute.
Cost Comparison
When it comes to the cost, however, things can get very, very complicated. Blendtec offers an extreme blender (Tom Dickson Extreme Blender) that costs over $ 1,000, and that will allow you to blend pretty much anything and turn you into a blending god If you purchase one. For little over $ 200, however, you can get another type of Blendtec’s models to work with. As for Vitamix’s models, however, you would need to put down at least around $ 400 to get your blending needs satisfied.
Moreover, both these blenders have different types of models, wide varieties of them actually. But when it comes to variety, we have to declare Vitamix a winner (they kind of needed one already) as they have a huge variety of blenders, with wide price variations and blenders to match the needs of the most adventurous and creative customers they might ever have the pleasure to deal with.
