Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Blendtec Total Blender Four Side, Black
Customer Review: Great blender, but buy hearing protection to go with it!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome blender. It blends stuff like you've never seen before and I am really pleased with it. But holy cow is it LOUD!! The cat hates me. I got a pair of earmuffs from the shooting supply place to wear while using it. Maybe overkill, but I think that using it twice a day without them would result in hearing damage eventually. I wish they sold an enclosure for this one like they do for the commercial ones....I'd definitely buy one.
I bought this because I had a juicer and liked it. But I felt that tossing all that pulp and fiber had to be making me miss out on a lot of health benefits. And just trying to spoon some of it back into the juice doesn't work, it's gross. This blender blends whole fruits and vegetables wonderfully, I can still get the fiber and in a drinkable form.
After I bought this, I read a webpage where they talked about blending an avocado WITH the pit, and I tried it. It works, I ended up with an amazingly smooth mousse-like creamy pudding. Not something I'd do every day, but it was very interesting. I have been making kale banana blueberry smoothies for breakfast and it blends everything into one homogenous shake. No bits of leaves, chunks of stuff, etc. I'm enjoying it. I just wish it wasn't so loud.
Customer Review: Great product

I have enjoyed thoroughly the performance of this impressive machine! I have owned it for a couple of months, so I can't comment on the durability of the blender.
It comes with a great recipe book with numerous types of food that one can prepare with the blender. I have used a couple of the recipes with success. The primary purpose of this blender in our household, however, is smoothie creation. It performs flawlessly for this function. Unlike cheaper brand blenders, the Blendtec totally emulsifies any ingredients, including ice, into a truly "smooth" smoothie.
It has proven to be easy to clean, operate, and fits nicely on our counter underneath the kitchen cabinets.
Highly recommended!

Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this Total Blender after reading so many unbelievably good reviews. Expensive little bugger but now, over a month later I have only one word for this blender...super, amazing, wow, and great. Then not even a week ago I watched a Blendtec video and in went a new iPhone. On blend mode the iPhone was turned INTO POWDER. No matter what the price you see..yes they are EXPENSIVE but I'll never use a 'normal' blender again. My Blendtec is great.Customer Review: I love my Blendtec

We purchased our blendtec after much, much deliberation (in spring of 2010). I really wanted to make my own flour for more nutritionally dense baked goods and to make our own baby food. Plus, we didn't have a blender anyway. I'd read a lot about it and once we got over the sticker shock, we bought it. It doesn't grind the flour as fine as I like (ie. for pastries) but it works great for all purpose flour. I have noticed that the pulse button is really helpful when things get stuck in the corners. Only once have I gotten the Overload screen and I was obviously asking too much of it (I'd already run it a few times on a setting that was too high and hadn't discovered the usefullness of pulse). It's really easy to use and I really like it.Customer Review: I love my blendtec!
