Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Blendtec Home TB-621-20 1,560-Watt Total Blender, Black
Customer Review: Try an inexpensive blender first.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this because I had heard about raw soups and this was the blender to get. Plus all the reviews made it seem like it was a great buy.
First I was disappointed that I had to cut up all the vegetables. I guess after seeing all the PR about how powerful this blender is, I just assumed it would eat up the vegetables whole. I had actually put everything in whole, turned on the machine and nothing happened. The blades wouldn't cut through the whole vegs. I then removed everything, chopped it all up and put it back in and then the blades moved.
A friend sent me a recipe for a raw soup and I tried it out. It was really hard to get down, the soup was so awful, I kept wanting to gag. I kept trying to remove some of the ingredients that I thought were unappealing to me but its gotten to the point that just looking at the veggies makes me want to gag.
I invited a friend over and demo'ed the blender to her. She then went home and tried the same recipe on her $30 blender which worked just as well in pureeing the ingredients. She brought in a sample for me to see for myself. Needless to say, I was not too pleased to learn that a $30 blender works just as well as my $399 blender, especially since I can't bring myself to make any more raw soups. I just don't like the foamy texture.
I also tried the smoothies using frozen strawberries. The first push leaves large chunks. It takes two or three smoothie rounds to eliminate all the chunks.
Also tried it to juice a lime. Didn't work very well. The pulp just flew up the sides and didn't get juiced by the blades.
So if you're simply curious about raw soups, you might want to experiment with a less expensive blender before you make such a big investment on something you may not end up liking.
Description of Blendtec Home TB-621-20 1,560-Watt Total Blender, Black
When the blending button is pushed on the Smart-Touch technology digital touchpad, a preprogrammed cycle automatically speeds up and slows down to draw ingredients into the 29,000 rpm blade and thoroughly blend all the ingredients. It shuts off when the cycle is complete, so recipes will turn out perfect every time. The blending jar is our famous patented square jar design, just like our professional models used in U.S. coffee, juice, and restaurant chains, with a 64-ounce capacity and a one-year warranty. The patented two-prong stainless-steel blade carries a lifetime warranty. The blender has a powerful commercial-quality, 1,560 watt 3 HP direct-drive motor (model number E3) and comes with an ice-crushing guarantee and a three-year warranty on the motor and base. The Total Blender replaces these other kitchen appliances: Grain mill, juicer, bread machine, ice-cream maker, smoothie maker, blender, milkshake maker, coffee grinder, ice crusher. And it does the job better than the individual products, for a fraction of the cost. Material used : BPA free Copolyester.Blenders
