Blendtec - Professional 11-Speed Blender - Black

I make powdered meal shakes daily and wanted to do more dessert and mixed drinks. I had been using a nutribullet, but was so loud (90 decibels) and I had to hold the blending cup down so it would release itself and turn off before it was done. This blender is powerful, has useful preset settings and time (I can step away and do other things while it works). But, the hood that is integrated into the unit is the best part as it reduces the volume of the unit when it is blending. It is not silent, but it is so much more quiet that that little nutribullet (which was deafening). The container is large and the lid is a thick rubber. We did have to rearrange our countertop situation in the kitchen to accommodate this blender as it has larger base and is taller than the little bullet blender. The fully opened hood just clears the cabinet. Very happy with this investment. I look forward to using it every chance I get.

This product is exceptionally quiet. I decided to splurge on this blender for my wife and it suited our needs. Sound: Very quiet. It doesn't frighten our infant. My wife had to go into the other room to avoid scaring the baby with our old blender. Ease of use: OK. Read the instructions. The default container that it comes with was not suited for what we were using it for. (Baby food) If you're looking into doing something like baby food, then make sure you get the smaller one. It's another $100 though. Safety: The blunt blade technology is genius and puts me at ease when I'm cleaning this blender! I never liked cleaning blender blades before since I'm always paranoid of getting cut but this design alleviates that concern. The product is great. Yes, it is expensive but if you're looking for quality, this has been a great purchase.

This is hands down the best blender I've ever owned absolutely love it!

This is our first time that we give us the chance to have a high priced blender and our cheap one does a better job than this one. Maybe we don’t have the experience to use this kind of blender... We want to use it to make protein smoothie shakes, we couldn’t make them creamy and also the blender get to hot so our shake was warm as You can imagine the ice that we Put in was melted Fast And it was like warm soup. In the other hand the customer service it’s amazing and really easy to work with them. We Perhaps in the ne’er future we can give a try again with a more basic model and upgrade to a pro.
