With the holidays coming, I've been getting questions about which blender I prefer, Vitamix or Blendtec?
Then, my friend, Angela, sent me this link (thanks Angela!). You may have seen these guys before, they have lots of great videos. I'll tell you what I told Angela.
I have the old Blendtec, which was on the right in that demo. He kept accidentally calling them K-Tec & Champ's because that's what they used to be called. That's what my base says (the one on the right in the video). I got a new carafe, as he called it (the top part) like 8 months ago or something. My new carafe says Blendtec, since they changed the name, but it's the small blade, smaller model still. I would LOVE that new Blendtec with the 4" blade and bigger carafe -the one in the middle in the video. WOW. That thing rocked! The new Blendtec doesn't need a tamper (the thing to push the food down), as you can see in the video, whereas the Vitamix clearly does.

We certainly love our Vitamix. I am sure they are both good! My mom recently met Angela Stokes and Matt Monarch at an event in Denver. They are cool :)
Neat! What event?
I think your Vitamix works better than my old Champ/Blendtec. Did you watch the video? My oldie could use a tamper =]
It was a talk about raw food and their journey, plus there was some food there and such.
Yes I did. It's neat that the blendtec doesn't need a tamper!
:) Glad you liked the video. Mae waants to watch it over and over for some reason! HA! I think she is as excited about me getting a Blendtec as I am! (I'll have to wait until AFTER Christmas, when all my $ is in hand) :)
Can I hold out that long?! Grin...
I have a VitaMix and love it... I got it before the blendtec came out with the 4" blade container. I don't use my tamper much at all. But I do use the blender just about every day -- made a yummy zucchini hummus for our wraps for today's lunch.
thanks for posting this-- i've been pining over a vitamix forever and had never heard of blendtec... maybe i should reconsider ;)
I've never heard of Blendtec and it looks nice!! Thanks for sharing this. I have the Vita Mix and love it, but the Blendtec seems to blow it out of the water.
I have a Blendtec and love it. My mom has a Vitamix and loves it LOL. I wound up going with a Blendtec after watching it blend an iphone (I still threaten DH with that !!) and I was able to get a better deal on a used one (floor model) on ebay vs. a used Vitamix. I used to make green smoothies with kale a lot and it would pulverize everything very finely. I love it !!

When making your nutcracker latte, what do you blend it on in you Blendtech? I used the "smoothie" option, and it was really liquid. Or maybe it was supposed to be liquid and not thick like a Starbucks frap drink?
