How good a deal is this? Will there be better deals on Amazon Prime day, Black Friday, Cyber Monday or around the holidays?
Blendtecs rarely ever go below $200. That said, the 575 will probably go for $200 on BF or prime or holiday season. It has 2 more speed options. I have the 570 and the 3 speeds are good enough for me. If you plan to do all kinds of blending, you may want to wait for the 575 or total classic to go back down to 200-230

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I saw the blendtec at my cousin's place and got impressed. Especially the ease with which it handled batters and nut butters. The usual $50-$100 blenders can handle all the liquidy stuff but they give up when it comes to nuts,lentils and grains.
The only downside to the Blendtec is the noise. It ranges between 95-105 db.
I ended up ordering the Vitamix E310.(Certified Reconditioned available for $289). It does everything that the Blendtec does with a lower noise profile. Ranges between 84 - 104 db.

By the way, decibel scale is logarithmic. In other words, 95 db is twice as loud as 85 db. 105 db is 4 times as loud as 85 db. Even with the Vitamix, I tend to not run it at the highest speeds. Speeds 1-6 are okay.

Thanks. One thing I know I'll want to do is nut butter. How important is getting the twister jar for that? Also one thing I love is long warranties as it gives me piece of mind. And 8 years is great. How is CS for both Blendtec and Vitamix within the warranty period? So if the machine dies or stops working properly what exactly happens? Do I just ship the blender back to the company at their expense and they send me a new one at their expense?

how would you compare this model of blentech to the entry level vitamix?
Blend tech and Vitamix are both excellent and definitely comparable. You can't really go wrong either way. I have a Blendtec and it is awesome

We love ours. Didn't know what I was missing till we tried it. We had a cheap one before and blending was such a chore. This blends anything and you don't need a stirring stick or anything. Cleans up fast too.

I have had a Blendtec for 8 years, love it
  • The Wildside Blending jar only really works if you fill it up AND if things aren't too thick. Sadly the whole "Wildside" thing is kind of a gimmick, having a traditional tamper is far superior (you can buy a third party tamper though, I highly recommend it).
  • The Twister jar also only really works if you fill it up AND if things aren't too thick. You'd really be better off with a real tamper for this as well.
  • Blendtec CS is top notch, I've dealt with them and they totally earn their high CS reputation
  • They pay shipping both ways to fix the blender if it's broken

Sorry that I might be thread crapping, but I cannot stay quiet after buying a great blender.

If you are looking for a blender for smoothie or for crushing ice, you might want to check for a different option. I bought Ninja 1000 ($69 at Costco and Walmart) two days ago. WIth this, you don't need to use spoon at all. Also, it has all the functions of this one. I cannot justify this price.

The wild side can do nut butter just fine. The twister jar is for making 1/2-1 pint batches. Unfortunately the wild side does not make good butter below 1 quart batches.

Warranty stuff is great for at least blend tech. They will ask for receipt if you have not registered it, and pictures of the units serial number. I had the old style seal wild side, and had to get a replacement jar after 5 years. 2 email chain with a pic of the base serial, and i had a new style jar in the mail and i could keep my old jar for "non food use". I still use it for making "bug food", what leaks out the seal is still fda food grade lube, but id rather not have it in my smoothie.

Best blender i've ever had! If you have young children or are clumsy yourself the dull blade really is essential. Friend of mine owns a Nina and he learned the hard way...

I bought this about 8 years ago from CostCo for the same price... just passed 7000 blends. The thing is awesome. The only issue with this blender is it is loud... like, wake up the whole house loud. But unless you plan to spend 2-3x as much to get a baffle around it, I think you are just going to have to deal with this (regardless of the brand).

Overall, this is a really solid blender, which our family uses several times daily.
When we first got ours, it was screaming loud too. So loud that I knew it couldn't possibly be right. I called Blendtec and they sent me a new wildside jar. The new jar is much quieter. It's not quiet by any means, but it's not nearly as loud as it was.

Thanks, op. This will be my first good blender after using $30 one. I could get it cheaper using eGifter and American Express shop small offer. I could get it for $50 cheaper. Does anyone know any smoothie recipe app?
