The Blendtec blender is an outstanding machine. At 15” tall, it can fit under most counters yet still can hold 64 ounces (the markings on the jar only go up to 32 ounces because of the expansion of liquids when blending). The base sports one-touch electronics instead of knobs or switches with 6 buttons for specific purposes like smoothies, ice cream, soups, salad dressings, ice crush and whole juice that control blending cycles that adjust time and speed. It also has a pulse button for excellent control. The Blendtec is computerized so the computer adjusts the speed of the blades through the blending cycles. It comes with a unique square jar and a two prong blade that is sealed. The motor on this model is on par with the Vita-Mix but is not quite as loud. It too handled anything I could throw at it.
